The Legislature of Washington will 

 have before it a bill, the aim of which 

 is the utilization of loggcd-off lands 

 through community development. 

 The measure is one of the results of 

 the Logged-Off Land Conference held 

 at the University of Washington, 

 Seattle, December 8. 



In this instance, a board of agri- 

 cultural development commissioners 

 is to be created in each county. Land 

 suitable for such development is to 

 be sold by the present owners to the 

 board, which shall clear it and then 

 re-sell it to the original owners at 

 a price agreed upon when the first 

 transfer was made or to new settlers, 

 installment payments being provided 

 in each case. 



Many practical men have held that 

 logged-off lands could be developed 

 without attempting to follow the 

 methods used for reclamation by 

 irrigation. Water can be supplied 



to arid soil only l)y co-operative 

 effort of a community, but in every 

 timber state there is proof at hand 

 that the clearing of land and growing 

 of good crops on such land is not de- 

 pendent upon community effort. 

 Use Family Labor. 

 One of the pre-essentials towards 

 development of logged-off lands is
