To reveal the hidden glory

The federal government, through

creasing the food output of the ma
tion. II is asking the hundreds OF
thousands of farmers over the coun-
try to make extra paintings and to
use improved methods so that the
yield per acre win be larger.
Would It not be consistent for the
government to also make the best
possible use Of the lands over which
II has control? There is such a
thing as getting penny SO close to
the eye that the dollar beyond can
not be seen. 1t has been seriously
suggested that the government at
tempt to force owners to cultivate
and plant idle lands. 1t is good
idea In principle and might work
admirably in practice; but why not
make the rule apply to the govern
ment itself.
There are thousands upon thou
sands Of acres Of first class land in
the west which belongs to the gov
ernment and which does not pro-
duce even decent pasturage. which
might be made to add most mater
tally to the nations food supply;
some by the use Of water and a
lesser area with nothing but a plow
and a man behind 1t.
There are about 5000 acres Of
land within 10 miles Of this city
which could be made to produce as
much as the agricultural land tribu-
tary to the city now produces IN. B
we say now produces"-not
might produce"), II the United
States government would undertake
the task OF putting Its land holdings
into productive use. The Grants
Pass irrigation district would have
no trouble in getting its canal sys
tenn built promptly II the govern
ment paid as much attention to iti
lands and the possibilities they hold
as the individual owners do.
Here is a problem, which, like the
mining possibilities OF Josephine

should 'tackle.

Half Your Living

A right or wrong start IN 1917 Will

south, We are all racing a crisis.
This war in Europe puts things in
such uncertainty that no man can
foresee the future with any degree OF
clearness. u
The sure and certain increase In
cotton acreage means lower cotton
prices next fall. Cost Of all food and
grain products is high, so high that
no one can afford to buy and expect
to pay out with cotton.
It's a time above all others TO play
safe; to produce all possible food,
grain and forage supplies on your
own acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece Of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay half, your living. It will
save you more money than you made
on the best FIVE acres Of cotton you
ever grew!

With the reckless dash Of boy.

Until | shall question thee.
You require your mutton shall al

Your socks and your shirts shall

And puee as heaven your soul
You require a cook for your mutton
and beef;
