GETTING OUT OF PROPORTION

The real cause of food shortage when reduced to the
absolute fact is that the ratio between producers and con-
slmers is out of plumb There are too many consumers
for the number of producers In other words the back TO
the farm" movement is becoming necessity. There Is
an abundance of land yet in this country that is not
productive and there is vast field for Improvement IN
the way of intensified cultivation that will enable this
country to grow all it needs Of the things 1t now grows
for many years yet and still have large surplus for eX
port When our population gets above the three hundred
million mark we may be compelled to begin to look else
where for some of the things consume and which we
now raise but it will be long time before we reach that
stage To illustrate this attention is called to what could
he done in the way Of growing food sfs within the city
limits of Salem if it was necessary. There is idle land
enough within the city limits to supply the city with all
the potatoes it could and large part OF It's other
vegetables If conditions such exist in some OF the war
ring nations should arise here it would be easy enough TO
grow all we need even though our population was IN
creased three times
One of the things that will have big effect on prodc,
ton is irrigation Although there is plenty OF rainfall
here in Oregon there doubt but the yields OF many
crops could be doubled by irrigation and more than that
this will be done before many years pass Ihere Is an
abundance of water flowing down from the mountains
for this and is being utilized in small way now Inc
experiment has proved great success and the system
viii be spread rapidly to such sections as lay well for easy
watering.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE
PARENTS OF SALEM

[ wish to call your attention to my
articles in the Capital Journal OF
December 9th. You will notice that
Mr.. English offers to act as superin
tendent for the first year without pay
As, the success Of the enterprise will
depend largely upon the ability of the
superintendent, I will tell you some
thing about Mr.. English.
He is a retired farmer and fruit
grower now living very much at his
ease in his comfortable home on Cher.
ry Creek near the Mute school. His
success in life is as much the result OF
his business ability as of his skill as a
rancher. He has generally continued
to leave the commission man out and
place his products in the hands of the
retailer or of the consumer.
His home place consists of five acres
When 'ut for a spin in your auto &C
past and see what he has done in five
years. Go past the Mute school, cross
the track and go to the end of the
street and you will be facing his lot.
Across the hedge you will see an
acre in gooseberries which pays ont
hundred dollars a year net profit. Al

course fine.

TO REGAIN HEALTH
CLEANSE THE BLOOD

When your blood is impure, weak,
thin and debilitated, YOU cannot pos
sibly enjoy good health. Your sys-
tenn becomes receptive of any or all
diseases, and germs are likely to lodge
IN some part of the body.
Put your blood in good condition,
and do so at once.
Hoods Sarsaparilla acts directly
and peculiarly on the blood-it puri-
fies, enriehes, and revitalizes it and
builds up the whole system.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is not a cure
all. 1t is the best blood medicine on
the market. 1t has stood the test of
forty years and is used all over the
world. Get it and begin treatment
today. 1t will surely help you. Sold
by all druggists.
