As time goes on the young men offer less resistance to the white man's ways and even welcome his teachings. The Flathead irrigation project is one of the many efforts o f Uncle Sam to bring the rose out of the hungry soil. It contemplates the irrigation of 1.12,000 acres in the Jocko, Mission, Lit tle Bitter Root and Camas valleys on the west side of Flathead Lake. Of this amount 16,000 acres o f the Jocko valley will be watered by means of a River and Sullivan Creek, and in the sonthw-est part o f the reservation the flow o f Camas and Cottonwood creeks will supply 5000 acre*. The soil of the Flathead reservation is clay, forest loam and gravelly loam, and responds quickly to the application o f water. Thu rainfall in this district is often ample for the production of most forms of vegetation, and the de mands on canals and reservoirs will be inconsiderable in those seasons. Where irrigation has been applied, however, the results have surpassed even the hopes o f the most sanguine. The val leys have been coming to the front steadily during the past few years in the variety and quality of their agri cultural products. Complete . and in tensive development is only awaiting the completion o f the system o f canals that will distribute water over the 152,- 000 acres., L IN O C O R D B U T T O N H O L E S are so protected where the strain comes that tkey\ don't tea r out.

The above illustration shows the two crews running its application. Shaw, a prominent railroad agricultur ist, emphasized the value of dairying and stock raising on irrigated lands in a recent address before the Oregon Irrigation Congress. While his remarks are applied to Oregon in particular, they cover the subject in its applica tion to every irrigated district in the West, for the general principle prevails that where water is brought on to land its best returns may lie realized from an intensive application of the profit arising therefrom. Professor Shaw says in part: “ In no line o f production can irri gation render a better return than in furnishing food that will be turned into milk aud other dairy products, meat nnd wool. For the growing of these products the door o f development stands open. In no line of agricultural production is the chance to make good money better or even as good. In the Deschutes 'ffyver Canyon “ The reasons for the stability of the neck nnd neck, the llarriman line on the east side o f the river and the Ore livestock business in the future are gon Trunk on the west.

The statis tics published by the United States De partment of Agriculture make this claim absolutely certain. “ On the irrigated lands the oppor tunities for growing swine are superla tively good. This is more especially true when the swine are grown in connection with dairying. It follows from the abundance of food that can be grown which is exactly adapted to the needs of the swine. No pasture has ever been produced that will meet their needs iu better form than alfalfa or that will produce so much food per acre, and where can alfalfa be grown better than on the irrigated lands of Oregon f It follows from the further facts that the grain thnt produces the pork o f the highest quality, such as barley ami field |>eas, may lie grown in the first form on these lands. The cli mate also favors sneh production. Its equable ami mild character favors the production of two litters per year from the same dam should this be desired. In sreas with cold winters it is scarce ly practicable to grow profitably two litters in one season. “ Pork thus grown should not cost the producer more than three cents per pound. It cannot be grown more cheaply >n the best sections o f the corn belt, nor cHn the corn belt pro duce bacon of equal quality with Ore gon. The conditions for growing pork of the highest quality on the irrigated lands o f Oregon are at least as good as they are in Denmark, and Oregon has a great lead in the natural rich ness o f the soil snd in the equable char acter o f the climate. Why should not Oregon soon become an exporter of high cltisa bacon t “ The irrigated and irrigable lands ha^ve special adaptation for the produc tion at low cost of dairy products, whether milk, butter, cheese or the by products of the dairy, as skim milk and buttermilk. “ Goqd water, so essential in dairy husbandry, is abundant in all sections where irrigation is practicable in Ore gon. This follows from the fact that the water comes from living streams that in nearly all instances are cradled in the mountains. The relation be tween pure water, abundant in sup ply, and high quality in the dairy product is so close as to be inseparable. ‘ ‘ The Oregon dairyman has a great advantage over dairymen, for instance, who live in climates that are less equable. He is not handicapped by such heat in summer that comes to the South nor hy the cold in the win ter that comes to the North east of the Rocky Mountains. To the Oregon dairyman the equable climate brings much advantage. It enables him to prolong the grazing season and it calls for less expensive shelter. Some per sons cherish the view that the man liv ing on irrigated lands, whose holding ia usually limited, has not room on which to graze his cattle, but they fail to consider thnt the production of irri gated lands in pasture is quite as large, relatively, aa the production o f the same in hay. “ With the price for dairy products as they are and as has been shown, it is not probable that they will be loss in the near future. The dairyman on irrigated land should reap a very profitable return. With such possibili ties within reach of the Oregon dairy man it will be greatly to the discredit of Oregon farmers if the state con tinues for any considerable period to be a purchaser of dairy product».” , FO U RT H STREET P o rtla n d , O re.
