FARMER TAKES
CENTRE OF STAGE
Land is Rapidly Increasing in
Value And Making Him
a PIutOCrat

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-In. the con-
tinued rising tide of prosperity. as an
nounced in every trade and crop report
the center Of interest for the last few
months has been the tiller of the soil
From being a figure regarded with
mingled pity and impatience, in Wow Of
his downtrodden and apparently apathetlc
condition, he has become an object of re-
spectful attention. SO far as this coun-
try is concerned. at least, The Angelus"
and "The Man with the Hoe" are por-
traitures of one who was. rather than
of a contemporary being, and The Old
Homestead" promises henceforth to ap-
peal only to the reminiscent sentiment
that still finds pleasure in ''Uncle TOMS
Cabin" and other such presentations of
days that are past.
II may be worth while to consider the
reason, or, rather reasons for this
change Foremost must be placed the
fact that the best and richest OF the vast
public domains Of the country have been
Evening journal., 1909-11-05

taken up. Much Government land is still
unoccupied, but\ the true natural FARM
ing country has been largely absorbed
The United States has been opcn-handcd
in its policy with regard to its public
lands and the agiicuturists OF this and
other countries have taken advantage OF
the liberality, until now there is not 50
much remaining TO give away or TO part
with for nominal sum.
Proof of this is found in the increased
migration to British Columbia. Fertility
Of Manitobas wheat lands has long been
known. but Americans are loath to leave
their native soil so long as equally good
opportunities are found at home Another
proof is found in the irrigation projects
now under way in the semi-arid regions
OF the West the development of which as
practical measure would not have ap-
pealed strongly to the farming element
so Ions as plenty of good land remained
unentercd in the regions OF sufficient
rainfall
These facts being granted, the rapid
enhancement in the value of farm lands
generally in recent years is easily under
stood. The Western movement having
been carrying on an unceasing campaign
the lands farther east have naturally be-
come more and more valuable. and there
is no reason to look for a decrease in
values Good times or hard times, the
farmer must fare well with anything like
/ present prices for his products
Another matter worthy of mention is
tho improved methods employed on the
forr,e L., hrino oinv tf,fe ahout tho great
est credit must be given the Department
Of Agriculture. which has of late years
ben carrying on an unceasing campaign
Of education.
