Oregon's Most Useful Citizen

few years ago Simon Benson was popularity acclaimed
the most useful citizen in Oregon, Those who so ac-
claimed him pointed TO his industry his honesty his
phianthropies and his all-round goodness.
Simon Benson is of truth very high type OF citizen
But he is no better than his time.
The motorist AStoria-bound. passes miles OF oggedou
land both sides of the highway Here was the scene
of BensonS earlier activities Here he acquired part OF
his wealth,
Stumps High land and low good land and bad-and
stumps The wilderness is crowdng back over the acres
that Benson stripped Not in centuries will there be an
other forest of merchantabe timber there.
There will be brush and fern and tie struggling,
overcrowded trees like anemic babies in a slum.
There never will be farms those lands that Benson
stripped-unleSs Oregon acts quickly
Don't blame Benson. He did what other lumbermen
those of the Puget Sound basin incuded-dd and are
doing He kept employed and money in circulation.
He added TO the prosperity of his state Ot his wealth
he has given generously and wisely.
What to do? The solution would be easy II we could
require that he who fes tree must pull the stump But
umbermen answer-probaby with truth-that the cost
of pulling the stump would wipe out the margin of profit
And. denied profits, who will engage in numbering?
WELL there remains intelligent reforestaton That is
not costly.
Why not have law requiring that he who fells tree
must plant one?
If Simon Benson in his young manhood had planted
tree for every he feed there would be today for
est of understandable timber along the highways to Astoria

Wheat and Still More Wheat

It is easy to understand why, when lands young

plants off the same ground until much Of it will
yield little better than to bushels To acre; with
wheat farmers letting their precious land ownership go
for the taxes-mind you, with all these facts in
view that may read them he runs, hear Of
wheat farms in Alaska and of Alaskan wheat taking
first prize at Minneapolis
Why invite disaster and poverty? Why take chances
with crop which has three bad years in every five
either in the field in the market?
Alaska, beware! Raise reindeer, boy, and hogs and
and chickens and grow beans, and turnps and fruit
and clover and other hardy foodstuffs and you'll not
only have soil constantly becoming fertile and valu
able, but you'll have something to eat-fine eating at
that-when bad years they do very very rarely
to the diversified farmer
But if Alaska must grow her own wheat for food,
plant only that off lot, Mr.. Farmer just a minor or
