A PIECE OF LAND NOT A HOME

At the meeting of the Stevens County Farm Club
Thursday statistics cited to show three
distinctly bad tendencies regarding the agricultural n-
dustry in this county the marked decrease in the pop
uation the years. g. the marked decrease the
number of andownng farmers and increase in the number
of tenants and g. the decrease in the number of farms
and the raising of the acreage of the farm from
269 arces 800 An spite of these apparent
~ unfavorabe developments there has been an increase
price of land CT 100 per cent These apparently
conflicting facts can be reconced only assumption
that Stevens county land proves racveasa business
investment than it does as home. People would not
keep putting good money into Stevens county and unless
it brought returns and the steady raise in values and
promise of still greater raise indicates that people
bidding to get it. AS business investment then, it is
easily established that Stevens county land is des red and
is desreable respect its desireabty for farm
homes the verdict is quite the opposite People want
Stevens county land but many else to live
or it.
If the land here is desired for farm homes, there
would be decrease of population, decrease in
in land owning farmers. increase in the
the of the farms. Every county in this section of
the shows the tendencies with the exception
of Douglas county, and in casting about for it has
occurred that the difference lies in the greater attach
ment which people have for home in wooded country
as contrasted with home the prairie The farm home
must be both farm and home. AS farm, this land
here in Stevens county is IDEAL considering the with
which is worked the long, straight burrows and the
square fields but home the prairie is too bare, too
much the same suggestive of the monotony of dudg
ing existence 1t lacks the orchard the meadow. the
deeptangled wildwood " celebrated in song and story
the ideal home, which fond recollection presents"
The answer then is groves and more groves Groves
will relieve the barrennesss of the prairie, will make the
farm into farm home and will bring pleasure to at
tractve and lucrative ocupaton Many farm homes in
Stevens county have beautiful and useful groves and it
is noticeable that these the farms with which the
most loath part and buyers most
ous But other farms, equally good farms,
have groves and nearly every year different owner
has taken off the crop.
We that conclusions will commend them
selves to observing persons true and that they indicate
the necessity for systematic campaign for tree planting
in this counttrees about the homes and about the
schools for is all this county lacks make it at
tractive both old settler and And then the
financial advantage of good supply of timber the
farm is not be overlooked but that another story
