Central Oregon Continual from first ppe. ' tions is 13.7 inches. The larger portion of the rain falls in the win ter months, more than half coming in the rive months starting with November. This makes winter cereals best adapted for planting in this region, including winter wheat, rye, spelt and barley. Of these, winter wheat is the principal crop, and yields well under conditions that prevail over practically all Central Oregon. The winter crops mature before the driest months. July and August. With proper preparation of seed bed and cultiva tion to conserve moisture, other crops, including spring seeded ones are also successfully produced. On a great amount of this land where moisture is not too deep under the surface alfalfa is a successful crop when careful attention is given to preparation of ground before seed ing and to the tender plants until they have attained a good root growth, as the long roots penetrate a great depth for moisture. With out irrigation on such land alfalfa yields of from one to two tons can be produced per acre. Brome grass and western rye-grass are also suc cessful but rye is usually cut green for hay. Some varieties of vetch and many field roots will produce good yields. Hardy fruits with care in starting and during tender ages, will produce sufficiently for home use. Stock Raiusf Until further railway building takes place in Central Oregon stock growing is bound to be its leading pursuit. For this the country is admirably adapted with its great range areas and plentiful water supply. ' The climate is most health-1 ful for all stock, especially for cat tle. Many of the smaller home ranches turn off f50 to $70 steers that do not represent an actual out lay in cash or interest of f 10. Mut ton can be produced at practically no cost other than labor. In the great Deschutes valley and Crooked River valley and tributaries is an ideal opportunity to engage in pro duction of high grade dairy stock on cheap land and open range, This stock will find ready sale at good prices to the extensive dairy ranches west of the Cascade moun tains both in Oregon and Washing ton where on the higher priced lands it cannot be produced so economically. In addition to these opportunities raising hogs for market is bound to be a source of good profit on the irrigated lands of the Deschutes valley close to the railway, where there is cheap food, pure water, fine clover and alfalfa pastures, plenty of shade, cool nights and no extremes of winter cold.

Central Oregon is exceptionally adapted too for poultry and es pecially turkeys, which like to range over large areas in feeding, and may be left to bring up their young without danger from thunder storms, rains, or drowing in wet grass. Crook County. Crook county embraces more than 5,000,000 acres in the very heart of Central Oregon. With its great areas of farming land on benches and low mountain slopes, its grazing in the foothills and mountains, with its over 453,000 acres of land under various irriga tion projects, Crook county is cer tain to become an agricultural em pire in itself. Extensive areas in the north central part of the county tribu tary to Meoea, Vanora, Madras, Metolius and Culver of level to gently rolling bench lands are veil on the way to development with out irrigation, being about half under cultivation. This region ia covered with a natural growth of sage brush and a scattering growth of juniper trees, not difficult to clear, is of a soil from volcanic ash to clay loam, rich in plant food, and produces crops of wheat from 20 to 40 bushels per acre, oata 30 to 50 bushels and rye and barley, potatoes and other vegetables in proportion. These crops, with peas, rutabagas and beets, make diversi fied farming with stock profitable, as there are immense areas of open range near by for cattle, horses and sheep. Improved farms vary in value from t'20 to 125 per acre in this section, and unimproved land 115 to $20 per acre. This is an ideal farming section, about 200 miles from Portland, with fine markets for all produce, an ample supply of fuel, long summers and short mild winters. The region is from twenty to thirty miles east and west by thirty miles north and south, lying between the foothills of the Cascades on the west and Grizzly Butte and the Blue Moun tains on the east. The average elevation is about 3,000 feet above sea level. It is rapidly developing into one of the most important farm sections of Central Oregon. Bench lands about Prineville, Lamonta and Powell Butte are of the same general character. The northeast part of the country ex tends into the Blue Mountain For est Reserve, and many fine stock ranches are established along the streams, with small areas of tillable and irrigated lands, and extensive areas of open grazing lands where some of the finest stock of Oregon is found, many of these ranches having exclusive herds of registered stock. Thousands of sheep range the open public domain and rough mountain foothill sections. Oregon Out! range is considered , the mo:-t healthful in America, and very lit tle disease is found among the herds. Many of the fUwk nun hereabouts have lived in this sec tion for upwards of thirty year and are so attached to the delights of the country that few desire to leave it, even with the coming of the railway. The western part of the country is chiefly timbered, embracing the east slope of the Cascades, except in the vicinity of Culver to Madras, west of the Deschutes, where there is a large area of farming and thinly limbered country, some of which is open to homeeteading. The portion of the country trib utary to the Deschutes and Crooked River, ia largely projected for irri gation, though a comparatively small amount of this acreage is actually farmed at present. The soil is chiefly volcanic ash and very productive under irrigation. All kinds of grain, timothy, clovjsr and alfalfa, vegetables of all kinds, small fruits and hardy apples pro duce well. Some money making farms are under way on these lands where two years ago were only the natural sage brush and juniper trees. The elevation of the Deschutes valley and Crook county land is between 3,000 and 3,400 feet. Land is generally level, easily cleared, furnishing sufficient fence posts for fencing and wood for fuel. Cord wood will sell at a price to give good wages for cutting and haul ing to market. Prineville. Prineville, eighteen milei by stage from Redmond, is the county seat of Crook county and is a sub stantial city of about 1,500 people, established long before the coming of the railroad, when it was the trading center for all this territory. All lines of merchandising are presented in its stores. It has two substantial banks and many other enterprises. The wealth of resour ces of the territory surrounding Prineville and the enterprise and public spirit of her citizens assure for this town a splendid future.

They are used whore the birds are allowed free range. This keep theiu on clean riuiKei and sup plies an abundance of fresh green food. The Ijrire stationary house aro used where a considerable number of birds are to be kept on a small area of ground. As sunshine Is very necessary to the health of the poultry, the houses should bo arranged ao aa to admit the greatest possible amount. Ventilation la another very important factor to be considered. It innkea little difference how tho poultry house la ventilated ao long aa It la thoroughly done and a draft does not blow on tbe fowls. The straw loft furnishes a very con venient and successful method of venti lation. Its greatest drawback Is that the straw collects a larife amount of dust and dirt If straw Is used It should bo cleaned every year or two and tho house thoroughly disinfected before the clean straw Is put in. In ventilating a house with straw, boards or poles are laid loosely across at tho desired height and about two or three feet of straw Is laid on these polos. There should bo a window at each end of the loft and these should be left open at all times. The dirt floor la the cheapest and. soino authorities claim, the best. It la, however, easily contaminated by dis eases. Is hard to keep clean aud fresh, and unless thoroughly drained It Is danip In addition to the other dlsad- -Jt- If I -I.

It should bo spaded up at least owe each year and sprinkled with lime. The concrete floor Is the most expen sive, but when once built It Is perma nent it U easily cleaned and disin fected, but Is very hard on the feet of tho birds. This disadvantage may be easily overcome by covering the floor with a thick coating of dirt, which should he cle.'iui'd out aial removed at least ome ti year. If a concrete Hour is to be built the foundation must be very firm. In making It tho dirt should bo removed to the depth of about one foot, the excavation tilled from six to eight Inches with huge atones, then covered with coarse gravel and about four Inches of cement laid on this foundation. This gives a good drain age und keeps the cement floor dry. Wood floors are more commonly used since they aro cheap and easily laid. With such floors the building should be set on a foundation of rough stono or cement or on posts one to three feot above the ground. Helping Indian Farmers.

It has been a matter of doubt until recently as to Just what agencies were responsible for cross pollination In ap ple orchards. It was thought that the wind was a factor as well as the honeybees and other Insects. It has been proved, however, that the wind has very little to do In aiding cross pollination and that honeybees, wild bees and other Insects are very neces sary for the transference of pollen. To determine the Importance of the honeybee ami other insects as factors In cross pollination an experiment was carried on by tho Kansas experiment station tinder the direction of James W. McC'ulloch, assistant entomologist. Wind was not considered in tho test, because it was found that wherever apples were grown far from nn apiary only a small amount of fruit was grown. It was found that tnme bees were the predominating Insects visiting the flowers. They visited (lie tnes from early morning tint 11 sundown. Cloudy or windy weather seemed to reduce their number, and they did not begin flying until after the dew had left the trees. I I tile I ,, 3 Town Topics.
