Will Grow More Crops.
A greatly increased acreage in
grain will be the order of the day in
Harney this coming' season, especially
among the dry farmers, if the signs
do not fail. Many- are planning on
large plats of potatoes. Of course,
at the present price of seed, such will
be difficult to secure, but many have
made provision already and a large
acreage will be planted to spuds.
The grain acreage will be greatly
increased, encouraged by the high
price of meat stuff, especially pork,
there will be big incentive to growing
all the grain possible. This, too, is
encouraged by the never ceasing ef
forts of the superintendent of the Ex
periment Station in advocating the
for this section, and by his earnest
grains for this section and his earnest
endeavor to get as much of this seed
into the hands of the successful grow
ers as possible.
That there will be an abundance of
water for irrigation the coming sea
son is now assured. The snow is very
deep in the mountains and there is
more on tho level and foothills than
a year ago. It promises a most pro
pitious season for the dry-farmer who
thoroughly understands the science of
this method. Burns News.
