OF this enterprise which will make
farming and fruit growing the most
profitable business In our valley.
LUxURIEs ADDED TO THE FARM.

LUXURIES ADDED TO THE FARM.
The conditions of life on the farm
has been greatly changed and is con-
stantly being bettered in Josephine
county by the luxury of the telephone
service and free rural delivery. The
telephone now reaches almost every
neighborhood in the county and the
farmer no longer takes chances Of
hauling his produce to a market that
is unfayorable. He sells his pro-
duce and then delivers 1t. He makes
his business appointments by tele-
phone and his wife chats with her
neighbors at any desired time, and
she calls the doctor by the same
method and he Is on his way to see
his patient within a few minutes
from the time he receives the notice.
The uses to which telephone can
be put are too numerous to mention.
The rural free delivery Is the other
great luxury in farm life No longer
must the mall wait at the postoffice
from one Saturday until another un-
I'll 1t can be secured, but daily the
postman leaves the letters, news
papers and merchandise in the box
at the farmers gate.
Rural free delivery does not cover
the whole county as yet, but quite
number are added every year and
soon every highway will be a post
road. The telephone and rural free
delivery have placed the occupants
OF the farm house to a large extent
on the same basis and has given
them the same advantages as the
dweIlers In the city. Is 1t any won
der that the price of farm land is
constantly going up and farm life
becoming more popular every year?
There is only one thing more need
ed and that is the realization of the
good roads movement, but the farm
err to large extent, can control this
by electing to office county commits
sloners who are up-to-date and who
fully realize that these are times that
demand better roads over which TO
carry the products of the farm TO
the market, Within the next few
years the trend will be from the city
to the farm and the best class Of men
VIII be attracted by farming as a
business The agricultural college
Is making rapid strides to bring this
about by making agriculture one of
the sciences and thereby adding to
the responsibility OF the calling as
we'll as teaching men how to make
farming profitable The twentieth
century Is doing more for the farme,
than for the man of any other callinc
and from now on there will be a rusi
to acquire land by the landless.

be commenced as soon as the wealth.
