GERMAN FARMING.

The policy Of conservation that

methods OF farming used by many
Americans have resulted in the utter
decline Of good land in a comparative

ENCOURAGE THE BUILDERS.

Umauua county has passed through
the era Of pioneer settlement and It
Is just entering upon a period Of close
development. Years ago the fertile
bunchgrass plains Of this county were
fled upon by settlers First the range
was used for grazing purposes. Then
farming was taken up and the county
became famous for its thousands Of
wheat fields Then came the a5sorp-
ton Of the small wheat ranches by
the larger. This process IS now about
finished. Most Of those who wish to
sell their land 10 their neighbors have
already done so. Only "big farmers"
now survive
The thinning out process in the
farming sections has worked hard
ship on Pendleton along with the 9th
er towns Of the county However there
is now little to be feared from that
source. In the future the tide should
be the other way Irrigation and
more intensified farming methods viii
repeople the land. Electric lines also
viii tend 10 break up the big farms.
They always do. With an electric line
extending north from Pendleton to
Weston the entire wild Horse valley
will become a diversified farming sec
ton. The land will become too valu-
able for wheat raising only.
With an electric line extending from
Grant county to this city the country
70 the southwark will also become
more closely peopled. Instead Of
monster stock ranches there viii be
smau farms. dairies and orchards. A
road from Grant county TO Pendleton
will also mean that the trade Of the
John Day valley will be diverted to
this place and the timber in the south
end of this county brought here for
manufacture.
An electric road from this place
through the Umatilla project to the
Columbia river would be Of great val
ne for II would provide rapid transit
service with the west end and also
give Pendleton better connections
with the Columbia river.
Pendleton and Umatilla county
have much to gain from the building
Of electric roads and the people may
well Join in encouraging the con-
struction Of such roads. The East
Oregonian has no connection Of any
kind with any Of the enterprises now
proposed for this county. II knows
nothing about them save what it has
published. But in the multitude OF
compan MES now formed for the con-
Etructfon Of electric roads in and out
OF Pendleton this paper gees hope
ahead It is disposed to encourage
the road builders in every way pos
sible and submits that the people in
general should lend all reasonable en-.
ouragement and assistance TO those
who want 70 build electric roads and
thereby work for the advancement Of
the city and county.
