THE BIG CROPS
StM-rclary Wilson thinks lliul

credit for I lie biy crops. lie
duos nul make an exclusive,
claim for 111•» |>i*«*s«'iiI adniinis;
Iralion, hill says I li a I nf lalo

slates also have been helping

from I licit* fields. An enormous
mass nf inslrnrlivc printed mai
ler lias been s«*nl oul that
should have been a factor in
crop product inns.
II is fo In* hoped, certainly that
nil I In; effort nnd all I In* expense
of l his .out put of liiillcl ins and

■in improve is indicated with a
comparison wilh nlher coun
tries. Though our wheal rrop
is I he largest in I he world, it is
less than three limes thai of
-France, a thickly populated
country having an area much
smaller llian that of the slate
«'j- Texas. Then there is <!er
many, another <»ld country, which
not im.Iy boats us In a frazzle in

rye as the raited Slates. Of!
course we have corn in amazing
cfuejilily. hut we have the land
and every square mile of Ihe
land can he made to do heller

crop, therefore, is in i only a
fine 'Ihing in ilse.lf. an assnr-j

in slill more bountiful harvests.
SELF HELP
I
'"Self help is thu best lieip,
has hccu proven in many under
takings and it is " mollo thai ■
could be applied by Ihe citizens
of VaJkJoz to good advantage.
Bi^l self help does ind mean
solllsh help.
The man who works f«>r his
community is working f«»r him
self: Ihe man who gets out to
boost, for his home city is
hc.oofing for himself: whereas
Jin* man who works '•» l»nll down
hu neighbor is pulling down his
city and incidi'nl<all> diu^iugj

Yablez people are Indav
in— a big practical denionslra-}
lion in the art of self help, by
all pulling together for Ihe up
building of their town. piviug

Extract'from address by George E. Baldwin of Val
dez, to the American Mining Congress, Chicago,
October 27, 1911:
FROM OUR STANDPOINT CONSERVATION TO DATE
IS AN ATTEMPT TO GATHER ALL THE PUBLIC LANDS
OF OUR TERRITORY AS AN ESTATE, ITS FORESTS, ITS
MINES, ITS WATER POWER, ITS WHARF SITES, TO BE
MANAQED BY A HORDE, A DEVASTING HOST OF GOV- \
Er7NMENT UNDERLINGS AN D WORKED BY OUR CITI
ZENS AS TENANTS, LICENSEES AND LESSEES; THESE
UNDERLINGS TO BE RULED BY A RETINUE OF OFFIC
IALS STATIONED AT WASHINGTON, THOUSANDS OF
MILES AWAY. ALL OF THESE LOCUSTS OF OFFICIALDOM
TO CONSIDER THEM8ELVES THE PEOPLE'S MASTERS
AND NOT THEIR SERVANTS- WHY THIS RETINUE STA
TIONED AT WASHINGTON? SO THEY CAN BE IN CL08ER
TOUCH WITH QUESTIONS TQ. BE DECIDED? NOI SO
THEY CAN BE PROMPTLY ON THE GROUND TO LOBBY
FOR MORE APPROPRIATIONS TO HIRE MORE OFFIC.
IALS TO LOBBY FOR MORE APPROPRIATIONS, AD™*INFI
NITUM. AND THEY WILL NEED THE8E APPROPRIATIONS
FOR SUCH A SY8TEM HAS NEVER IN PA8T HISTORY
PAID ITS WAY AND NEVER WILL.
FOR GENERATIONS WE HAVE BEEN DECRYING THE
HEARTLESS GREED OF IRISH LANDLORDS, YET HERE
IS A SYSTEM OF LANDLORDISM THAT OUT IRISHES THE
.'MOST IRI8H LANDLORD THAT EVER DISGRACED THE
HUMAN RACE BY HIS RAPACITY A LANDLORD WHO
REFUSES TO DEVELOP HIS PROPERTY, REFUSES TO
LET ANYONE ELSE DEVELOP IT EXCEPT UNDER THE
MOST ONEROUS CONDITIONS AND REFUSES TO PAY
ONE CENT OF TAXES TO BE EXPENDED BY LOCAL OF
FICIALS FOR LOCAL NEEDS. THE MANIFEST INJUS
TICE OF THIS NEEDS NO COMMENT.
