"This effective advertising and

LAND USE ARTICLE NO. z

Less than a century ago there
were hundreds of thousands of
acre of good land in the far west
available to citizens who wanted
to stake out a homestead and start
life anew. Today there is practi-
cally no good free land for Ameri-
can families to settle.
1t is probable, however, that in
! tue future we Shall as a nation re-
tquife more land under cultivation
than we have now. This will be
fsMscsssary to take care of a grow,
| ing population. =.
Moreover whenever there is a
shortage of industrial employment
people naturally go back to the
land for their living. This happend
during the early years of the de-
preston. Hundreds of thousands of
people moved from the cities out
to the farms. 49,
Under existing conditions people
could no longer be fairly sure of
obtaining tracts of good land. The
cheap land which they were able
to get was in many cases too poot'
to support them. Often those fami-
lies, which had sought an oppor-
tunity to take care of themselves,
in the end became burdens upon
the relief rolls of SMALL rural COM
munities. We see this situation in
many regions of Washington, Ida
hobo and Oregon.
Wise foretho1ght and action by
the government can prevent this

of new lands. Unles some such
guidance is offered, we run the dan
ger Of having large increase in
the number of poor families. livine
On and that cannot be successful
cultivated, and becoming burdens
upon the rest of the community
Today we possess far more ade
quate knowledge of what. land is
good for than did people of a gen
Grafton ago. Scientists have made
new discoveries about soil c'assifi-
cation. Experience with most @
States has reduced the need for
guesswork
The proposed program of land
use ana feSetlement under way in
the Pacific Northwest, the Federal
Government is helping families
move from poor land to bottom
farms where they may become self
supporting. Unproductive farm
land is being converted to other
uses, such as forestry, grazing or
recreation, for which it is suited.
AS our need for increased ag7i-
cultural land expands in the future,
1t will be more and more necessary
for the governments of both states
and nation to determine where
good land Is available, and to help
prevent settlement in areas where
families will become public charges
because OF the poverty of the land
Editors Note The old frontiers
are gone. There are no longer
vast areas of new land on which a
growing nation can settle and ex-
pand. 1t is now up to us to con-
serve and develop wisely the land
which we have. How this can be
done is described by l.. G. Gray,

les of three articles, of which this
