q worker no opportunity Of real value
TO him.
Under proper methods Of management,
however. these resources offer vast cp-
portunitics. Leaving out the possihl-
tiles under proper management or per-
manent employment on forest lands. and
the opportunities on scmi-wild grazing
lands. and putting aside the whole OF
Alaska the population which can be
cared for on our 100000 300 acres OF
logged-off swamp and arid lands is
greater than that Of New England.
What can be done to develop these po-
tential opportunities into aCtualitie3?
In the first place no sweeping rule can
be laid down for arriving at proper
methods of managing our natural re-
sources except to say that tho utmost
friendly cooperation is required be-
tween the federal government. tho
states, tho landowners and the labor
interests involved.
The most promising field. perhaps.
for the right kind OF colonization Of wild
lands exists in the mountainous regions
Of the northwestern states. The not
ural unit OF development here, from
physical standpoint. is the mountain
basis.
Usually the level meadow land in TIE
bottom valleys is chiefly valuable for
farming. while the slopes. more or less
forested are chiefly valuable for grow
ing timber. There Is n certain atnoInt
Of grazing land in the timbcrcd areas.
Most of the area on the mountain
slopes Is now government land in IA
tional forests. while nearly all Of the
bottom land has been cut up into rri-
vate holdings. Part OF this bottom
land, in the localities Of the national
forests. has been developed for farming,
but large areas yet remain under timber
or in stumps.
Even on the bottom lands all OF the
area Is by no means most suitable for
farming. The soil itself may not be
fertile or the cost OF stump disposal
may be prohibitve. No land should be
used for farming OF which the average
yearly return will not be at least suffi
cient to pay. in addition to reclamation
costs, q normal wage for normal labor.

Of national forest land will ever be
suitable for farming.

The state banking board has ISSUED

The state banking board has issued
a timely warning to che people of
North Dakota to beware of the many
fake stock sales schemes that are
now infesting the state. 1t is well
that such warning has been issued
for it appears that many worthless
organizations have operated in the
state during the past year in direct
violation of the blue sky law Just
why these -rich-quick schemes
were not nipped in the bud by the
proper authorities is causing good
deal of wonder. North Dakotans
have had implicit faith in the protec-
tion which the blue sky law was sup
posed to give them and they have
either forked over the good cold cash
or have given their notes for hun
dreds of thousands of dollars in the
aggregate for promotion schemes
that were expected to net fabulous
profits. The writer has been bitten
good and plenty in years past in VEN
lures that proved to be worthless, and
he knows how to sympathize with the
unsophistcated. 1t sometimes costs
a man few hundred dollars to get
his wisdom teeth cut and perhaps it
is Just as we'll in the long run that
these concerns were permitted to OPP
crate. The state authorities believe
that the time has now come to call
halt. Hereafter, any stock selling
scheme, should be carefully investi-
gated to each one individually. North
Dakota's blue sky law does not al
ways function properly. If we grow
good crop this year, there will be
plenty of chances to invest your mon
ey. in stock selling concerns, but the
man who attends strictly to his bust
ness, whether it be farming or rum
ming grocery store, will find that
he viii. have more money to his credit
in the bank than if he fell for every
stock selling proposition that is offer
ed him by smooth statesmen, whose
only interest in your welfare is to get
their clutches on good part Of the
money you have been fortunate
enough to save.
