Grow more food and you will re-
duce the cost of living.
They forget the main thing.
Where are they going to get the
men to farm the reclaimed lands ?
Young men, and older men, too,
are deserting the farms every
day, lured by the prospect of big
money, shorter hours and easier
work in the city. Thousands OF
young men who went to war from
the farms never got farther back
than the city. Thus the city it.
self is to blame for its own high
cost of living.
There is today plenty of good
land to farm without going to
the desert and the swamp. This
good land is idle because ii is not
profitable to farm it Make farm
ing more profitable-make the
country as good a place to work
in as the city-and the abandoned
farms scattered all over this coun-
try will be taken up and farmed.

FARM BOOKS ARE
ISSUED FOR 1920

OREG ON AGRICULTURAL
COLLEGE, Corvallis, March l6,
"A farm account book for 1920
I has been distributed to more than
i1l5O farmers in Jackson county
and to 10000 farmers in the state
by the department of farm man
agement at the college. The pur-
lose of this work is to assist far
mers in the business organization
OF their individual farms.
Records and accounts kept in
these books serve at least three
purposes. They give each man a
record and tell him just where he
stands at the close of the year.
Reliable information for correct
filing of income tax returns is
given. This feature, in itself, it
is said, means in the aggregate
saving of thousands of dollars
to farmers, who otherwise would
overlook many items of farm eX-
renditures throughout the year or
who would fail to make use of
their inventory value when pre-
pairing such report. Such rec.
oris give the information neces-
sary for determining the cost OF
producing various farm products.
The farmer is not only assisted
in determining the profitable en-
terprises in the organization Of
his farm. but the data needed to
support him in securing a fair
price for his product is given.
Distribution of these farm rec
ord books is carried on through
the county agent and the local
banks, A farm record project has
now been started which calls for
special assistance to be given to
groups of interested farmers by
the county agent and the state
leader in farm management dem
Onstration.

ASHLAND A SOCIAL CENTER

In al Southern Oregon and

place which has more promising
possibilities for development as d

Of people than has Ashland. In

erably further and state that
along the entire line OF the South

for human beings, and now 1t es-
tablishes a claim for being one of
the most healthful places in the
country for dairy cattle. The
government inspector examined
over 400 head in that vicinity
during January without finding

BACK TO THE LAND SOME
DAY

Those who want nothing but
land taxed, or who are urging
the reclamation of great areas OF
cut-Oyer lands, swamp lands and
deserts. base their main argument
on the necessity for more food.

of the soil and only artificial con-
ditions will keep him from his ma
tive element. The conditions in
the cities are now so artificial
that they can't last; as sure as
fate they will wear out. But, in
the meanwhile, they spend mil
lions and billions reclaiming land
when tens of thousands of fertile
acres are lying fallow?

expanded to provide out dool
sports of all kinds. Many a place
with a much less majestic noun
tain peak than our own Ashland
draws hosts of people Just for the
sake of climbing, and breathing
the pure ozone of such an atmos-
phere. We have heretofore made
very little effort to bring such a
class of people to Ashland; now
they are coming with little or no
effort on our part. 1t is our place
to see that they have the con-
veniences, the luxuries, the com
forts that such people want and
are willing to pay for. During
the warm summer evenings en-
tertianment should be furnishe 1
in the park, or in the Chautau-
qua Auditorium, where a moder-
ate charge could be made to pro-
vide for the expense. With the
assistance of our summer school
OF music, much of the programs
could be furnished by students
and opportunity thus furnished
for the presentation OF the talent
developed therein.
A place should be furnished
for outdoor camp fires, and 9TH
er features that appeal from their
mere simplicity and charm of out
door living.
Aside from those who should
be drawn to Ashland for the pur-
poses OF study CT amusement.
many peoples should be seeking
Ashland as a desirable place for
rest and restoration to health.
With the addition to the use of
our mineral waters as a beverage
should be added the opportunity
given by more complete bathing
Lithia baths as well as
the warm sulphur baths should
be provided. Someone will begin
to say, where will yoh take care
of all these people if they come?

Such a plan properly carried out
and advertised woull, increase
our population this first season
to an almost unbelievable extent.
Last year many persons wrote us
to know whether they could pro-
cure tent homes, and we were
obliged to inform them that we
had no such equipment. This sort
of accommodation would of course
not suit the class of people who
are looking for the most luxurious
accommodations, but would be
starting point toward the building
of great sanatorium or a fine
tourist hotel.
All the foregoing is the briefest
outline of a few of the practical
possibilities for the growth and
development of our city. all this
can be started without the eX-
penditure Of any great sums of
money; the most that is needed
is enthusiasm, work, and a CO.
operative spirit. Such plans
could be carried out as a part Of
the work Of a live chamber o.
commerce, Of commercial club,
OF an enlarged Chautauqua associ-
alton, or of a community service
bureau. 1t should be started al
