0cAL opinions differ about what is the paramount
valley problem The visit Of Dr.. Elwood Mead
set many people to thinking very hard He laid
his principal upon the problem of selling the
lands and colonizng the lands still vacant His is
dOubtedy the prevailing idea in this city and valley
But The Herald disposed to express doubt whether
an even greater problem is not that of making more
profitable and certain the farming operations OF those
already tilling the reclaimed lands
New population is a good thing, profitable to all
local interests. This applies both to city and valley
But as time goes by, it is being borne in upon US
and that first duty IS to increase the

prove the conditions of life and work for the people
who have come here 10 make their homes.
It would be unfair to Dr. Mead to leave the impress
sion that he is not alive to this distinction On the
contrary he has written politically upon the problem
of the actual settler He is intimately familiar with
the conditions California where the major percentage
of the farm population is barely making living. He
has taken deep interest in trying work out better
plans for their relief than any heretofore tried And
he Is fully that similar problems exist here But
doubt has been impressed upon him by local people
that largest problem is that Of settling up the
used lands.

well for the man already on the land as for the new

lures In order to carry out such plan it viii be
necessary to the active and general cooperation
of those owning large unused tracts in this valley, and
of the local financial interests But to make the plan
also applicable to the already the land there
must be hearty cooperation among those having no
lands to SELL and desiring only to develop their farms
to the limit of productiveness.
Generally speaking the problem of those already on
the land seems The Herald to loom larger than Inc
problem of the of large tracts out of which
they demand huge speculative profits Up to date most
of the large of unused lands have shown dis
position to adopt reasonable methods of selling and

They have shown disposition to content themselves
