East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1910-03-18

every year in eastern Washington
means the production Of greater
crops. The increases will not be in
field peas and corn alone, but In
wheat as well. The alternating crops
restore to the soil elements that are
taken out by graingrowlng Greater
crops will mean higher land valua-
tions and these will result in the cut
ting up of the large farms and In
greater population. These are the
things for which the railroad is striv-
ing and if we can convert eastern Ore
gon to the same plan the permanent
prosperity of the immense inland
country is assured"
