crane. Wheal own in the fall or winter yields
from twenty to forty bushels to tin acre, Oat
and barley from thirty to fifty bushels and other
rerrats in like proportion. So far an vegetable pro
duction is concerned, it is enough to say that Mr.
Tillman Ih'iiter, a resident and dry farmer un the
uplands of Crook County, was awarded tin silver
nip and highest swanla at the World's Pry Farm
ing Congress held Iftst September at Spokane,
Washington. Under the auspices pf the I'rtneviHe
Commercial Club, Mr. Keutrr will make another
exhibit at the next annual meet of the Dry Farm
ing Congress to be held at Omaha during the month
of September, Jilll. Any one visiting the next dry
farming meet at Omaha is liotvby cordially invited
to examine the exhibit in charge of Mr. K outer.
Alfalfa, on all irrigated land, is the chief product,
yielding from two to three crops aggregating from
three to seven Urn per acre each year.
Precipitation and Temperature.
The precipitation varies throughout Crook County
from ten to sixteen inches owing to the altitude.
It would he safe to strike an average of thirteen
inches of precipitation throughout the tillable area, j
Thin moisture consists chiefly in rainfall, although
snows occur during; the winter months occasionally
to a depth ef eight inches on the three thousand
fool level. Of course, heavier snows prevail on the
higher altitudes every winter.
The temperature of the county varies from ninety
above soro during the warmit summer weather, te
as low as twenty below sero during the coldest
iia;s of winter. These are the extreme tempera
turps, many winters come and go, however, with
out rero weather. Ice was not frozen to sufficient
thickness on the most protected ponds to store for
summer u:e during five winters out of the last
twenty. I'sually we have ice from three to six
inches in thickness at some limp during the winter.
Owing to local air currenu caused by the cool
mountain nir rushing down to the lower levels dur
ing the forenoons and the reverse of this air move
ment during the afternoons of the summer months,
the summers of Central Oregon are delightfully
cool, a good wool blanket being a necessary com
fort most any night in the year.
Products.
Thus far, the chief products of the county have
been beef, wool, mutton and horses. Although the
advent of rail transportation will change the scale
of the past somewhat, and will perhaps substitute
lumber and wheat for the present leaders, meat
and wool production will always rank high in the
scale of our products, for, after all has been said
and after all the tillable land has been taken and
farmed there still remains a good two-thirds of the
county upon which stock will be grazed, because
that is the highest use to which it can be put, thus
furnishing a diversity of industry which bodes
great benefit in the future to those who are fortu
nate enough to get a good foothold here while the
country is new.
Winter wheat, oats, barley and rye are bound to
lie produced in great quantities on what are now
vast sage plains in Crook County. Wherever prop
erly tested all these grains have produced abund
antly, fully one hundred thousand acres of these
lands have been taken under the three hundred and
twenty acre homestead act in one locality a few
miles southeast of Prineville during the past year.
Cattle run well upon the mountain slopes during
the summer and are either fed during the winter or
driven to the kiw lying plains bordering Crooked
River on the south. Sheep are run much in the
same manner, but are honied in bands of from six
teen to twenty-two hundred in a band. Horses run
at large the year round except in rare instances
wnere special care m breeding is being taken. The
beeves are mostly driven about a hundred miles t
the nearest rail station and shipped from there and
marketed at Portland, Oregon, a few thousand
feeders being kept along Crooked Kiver and its
tributaries where they are fed through the winter
and marketed in the same manner along in March.
The woo! is marketed at the same shipping point

here from two to three hundred dollar. A good

aim cows are selling for twenty-live dollar. Of
course, them- are prevailing prices and are subject
10 alteration. I here having been no practical
means of transportation, there has been but little
wheal marketed Jrom Crook County except for
local use, the principal local market being the
1 nneville r louring Mills, which institution has paid
an average price of seventy-live cent per bushel
for many, years past
Potatoes.
Even a cursory review of the product of Crook
I ounty, Oregon, would. tie far from complete w ith'
out a tew wow on the subject of potatoes. Our
soil, altitude, climate ami all produce a potato
uni.iie in quality. This is conceded by all who have
tasted and compared. W ith modern transportation
facilities the time is not far distant when the Cen
tral Oregon potato will force itaelf to the front just
as the lower California soil and climate have given
us a grajH- know the world over. Potatoes are pro
duced on ail the lower levels throughout the whole
of the county without irrigation and the day ia com
ing when thousands of acres of our soils will be de
voted to raising potatoes for export.
Fruit
Fruit has been tried to a limited extent and all
our lower levels have been found favorable to the
growing of apple, pears, plums and the like, al
though it canuot he said, truthfully, that the coun
ty over is adapted to tho growing of firns -class
trait, although shrubbery of all kinds does well
every w here.
Irrigation,
As the country begins to develop it is found that
large areas will eventually be brought under irriga
tion and consequent intensive farming. For a num
ber of years small areas lying along the Ochoco,
McKay and other tributaries of Crooked River have
teen irrigated in a comparatively crude manner.
enough to prove, however, what will become of
large areas of Crook County when once the princi-
t..v u. iiiiKwun is uruugni into general use.
rarms, even now, that formally produced hay
enough to support a couple of span "of horses dur
ing the winter and a few shocks for the cows, are
now producing hundreds of tons of the finest hav
upon which hundreds of beef are fattened during
the winter for the snrinir market. Thi ,,.,
change is now coming over large areas alone- the
I'iscnutes ana t rooked Kiver and the plateaus lv.
ing between. Under practically one seggregation
unuer tne ary Act there are one hundred and
seventy-five .thousand acres now being reclaimed
from the waters of the Deschutes River and dis
posed or to settlors. Of course, these lands cost
something but they are worth something and the
terms of payment are easy. Already a number of
people have made enough from the lands to pay out
on mem ami now have the very finest homes.
Such lands are for sale at from twenty-five to sixty
dollars per acre with small payment down and with
the deferred payments carried along through
r uivi mijvau. unc nunarea dollars per acre
is not an uncommon nor an unreasonable price for
these lands when deeded and under cultivation for
they produce all varieties of cereals, grasses and
garden truck. These lands are particularly well
aoapieu to tne raising of the clovers and garden.
Two hundred bushels of potatoes to the acre is not
an uncommon yield. Clover yields two cuttlmrs
each season aggregating four tons per acre. With
transportation, these vast irrigated areas will ex
cei in dairying combined with hog raising-. Manv a
snug fortune will tie gathered on these lands in the
future through this process.
Most of the Eastern portion of the county will
be devoted to cattle, sheep and horse raising on ac
count of iU topography, but the central and west
ern portion will soon be given up to intensive farm
ing under irrigation and to improve methods of dry
farming.
Streams.
The Deschutes and Crooked Rivers drain almost
the whole of Crook County, the latter being a trib
itary of the former. Crooked River rises in the
Blue Mountains on the eastern edge of the county
and flow s almost directly through the center of the
county from east to west The Deschutes takes its
rise in the Cascade Mountains on the western line
of the county and flows in northerly through the
western portion of the county and on to the Colum-
now r these I a rtver and their tributsrie will.

of Irrigation. There is rich land In abundance to
consume all the flow of these two river. The
state is now taking the initial step toward dividing

Prinevill.
The main business center and county seat of
t rook County, as before stated, is Prineville. The
town is located in the heart of the Crooked River
valley at the confluence of the McKay. Ochoco and
crooked hiver, the two former streams being trib
utaries .or the latter. Prineville now has a popula
tion of 1600 souls; has two banks with a million
dollars on deposit; has a hundred thousand dollar
court building and it is paid for; haa a high school
second to none in the whole'state; plana are drafted
ana a tax voted for a thirty thousand dollar nubile

" Transportation.
The old way of doing things-the eight-mule
team, the round-up and the trail; the sombrero. th
lariet, fuzztail and all are just now in the act of
passing and for good. After more than a year's
o.asung ana tnumicrlng along the Deschutes can.
