WHY THEY COME.

Our city cousins are spending their
winter evenings dreaming back-to-the
land dreams, talking about three
acres and independence, and pictur-
ing the easy, toil-free life of the son
of the soil. And some of them are
coming cut to farms to try their
hand at making green things grow
They are restless under their burden
OF indoor work and the high cost of
living. and--neXt summers farm
work seems mighty pleasant when
one is sitting by his hot air register
On cold night.
City papers have printed interest
ing stories Of men and women who
left city employment to make for
tunes in fields of grain and pens of
pigs. City folk read about billion
dollar wheat crops, millions made in
corn, cotton, livestock and farmers
rolling in wealth as they carry the
days butter and e5gs to the market
in the family limousine.
Easy to get along on the farm"
they conclude.
The United States Department of
Agriculture has learned that farm
wages increased GA per cent in IA
years.
Cities are Worrying about unem-
ployment problems.
All these things are joining hands
to bring a growing bark -to-the-soil
army from practically every large
city. And nothing farmers can say
will step them. They'll come, the
man and woman who never saw a
farm, and men and women who
imagine a farmer lets nature do all
IS work.
Some who know agriculture will
come, They will make good. Some
who are ambitious to work and learn
will come. They stand a good chance
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1919-02-13

of making comfortable living.
Many are now planning to leave
their city homes with few dollars in
their pockets. There will be many
failures among them. Some are com.
ing with enough capital to get well
started. They will thrive if capital
is combined with learning and energy.
Naturally, every person who leaves
the city for the farm, thinks he can
make good on the land. Thinking
so doesn't, however, make it so. The
average city-bred man is poor
farmer. He cannot stand farm work
as we'll as he stood shop or office
work. And it requires as much
agricultural knowledge to be a sue
cessful farmer as legal education to
be a money-making lawyer.
Herbert Quick, member of the
United States Farm Loan Commits
sion, is the foremost farm student
who opposes the flow Of city-bred
men to farms. He insists that no
man without farm experience should
assume the responsibility of owning
and managing his Cwn farm Quick
believes that city workers should
first serve an apprenticeship as farm
laborers, and that city women should
start in the kitchen of a farmers
Wife's home. Both husband and
wife thus would learn farming from
the bottom up.
you can't learn farming from the
top down, Quick asserts.
Those city people who are having
their annual winter farming dreams
would do we'll to write Quick or the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture setting forth their qualifica-
tions, resources, knowledge and then
| let a farming expert decide whether
they should stick to the city or tackle
agriculture.
There would be fewer failures
among ex-city men farmers then.

WORD OF WARNING.

In statement received by the
Collector Of Internal Revenue, Mil
ton A. Miller. from Commissioner
Daniel c. Roper taxpayers are
cautioned against allowing them
selves to be imposed upon by
strangers who claim to be Income
Tax Experts" They should dis
criminate carefully between really
helpful, authoritative advice in tax
matters, and irresponsible advice.
Mr.. Roper states further that the
bureau is arranging to furnish for
the benefit of Income Tax payers in
every city and town in the country, a
free advisory service by trained
collectors, agents, inspectors and
deputies. At the Offices of Collectors
and their Deputies and at other
central points, free information and
advice with respect to fling returns
under the new Revenue Bill may be
had up to the final date for filling
such returns.
Banks, Trust Companies and sim
liar responsible institutions have
always cooperated in furnishing au-
thentic Income Tax information, and
have generously offered to serve the
government and taxpayers in this
respect again this year. 1t is the
aim of the Bureau to bring its
agencies as close as possible to every
person and to make available in
official form all necessary informa-
,tion regarding the requirements of
the law. The Bureau welcomes aid
from every responsible agency in its
efforts to cnlighten the people on tax
matters.
Every taxpayer is assured of a
square deal from the Government
based entirely on the tax lcws and
regulations and the facts in his case.
No other influence is allowed to enter
into Internal Revenue matters and

MONEY NO OBJECT.

1t was not SO many years ago that
500 hog was neighborhood
scandal
Nine farmers in ten then would
consider a man unbalanced, possess
ing more money than sense, who
would pay one hundred real dollars
for single hog.
In skimming through some recent
sales of breeding stock, taken hap
hazard over two thousand miles of
country, we gather items like these:
The 1917 grand champion of the
national swine show sells for $500
Breeder refuses s2500 for young
SOW.
In reports of dozen mid-winter
sales the lowest price for young
stock was s52, the average was near
er 800 head, and dozens of hogs
sold for prices above the $500 mark
One breeder announces disposing
of three hogs at private sale; one
brought $500; another $4,000; the
third, $1050.

II is that the people with acid-stom-

No matter how good or wholesome

eat, they do not gain In strength.
This is clearly explained by the fact
that an acid.stomach cannot proper.
