CHANGE IN STATE i THE DALLES NOW HAS FINE NEW CITY HALL Oregon Wastes Being Made Fertile and Paying Farms. KNOWLEDGE OF SOIL AIDS Entire Inland Empire Undergoing Metamorphoela to Land of Small Farms and nappy Homes. OREGON-IAN XEW3 BUREAl', Wash ington, Jan. 24. In Oregon and. In fact. In many parts of the Northwest, a trans ition from a frralr.frrowlns and stock raising country to one of small farms de voted to Intensive ajrrlculture Is rapidly talcing place. hrre now exists vast sa?e-covered plains, valleys and hill lopes, extensive ranges devoted to the raising of cnttlr. fcini s and sheep, and frroln ranches covering hundreds of acres, there will, within the next few years, be established a muiiituda of small farms devoted to intensive agriculture. Where now exiFts here and there an unpreten tious and cheerless ranch house there will In a f"w yi ars be scores of prosperous, fcappy homes. , Tho difference is to be found, however. In the numh-r of people who receive the benefits. When. In years past, an oc casional large r.and of cattle or sheep were driven 10) miles or more to the rail road, w-here they could bo chipped to market, the profits were received ty two or three or possibly by a single man. In the years to come when the varied prod ucts are shipped out by the train loads the profits will Increase the bank ac counts of hundreds of people. These products of the future will also differ vastly from those of the past. In stead of b'In? con.lned to those "which can walk out." as has been the case in many isolated districts, no such re strictions will now he placed upon them, for with the coming of a dense popula tion there will, also come better provision fir transportation. livestock will con tinue to be one of the most Important products of many sections, but to this will be atld"d dairy products, alfalfa, grain produced unJ.r irrigation, timothy, clover and grain hay. alfalfa seed, po-. tatocs. gard' n truck, hops, fruits, poul try and thi many other products which the fertile soils of these regions will produce. Bureau Ilelns Farmers. In this transition from a country poor v supporting a few people to one sup plying comfortable homes for many, and a country sending out few products for the support of the remainder of the world to one of numerous and valuable exports, the Bureau of Soils of the United States Liepartment of Agriculture Is playing an Important part. The work of the Hureau of Soils con sists njt only In showing the farmer what these problems are and how lo deal with them, but also how to see and study them for himself. It matters not whether he has or has not had experience In farming under Iiriatii.n. the work done by the Hureau of Soils Is of value to him. A xood example of this work Is to be found In the Klumath ftasln. Oregon and California, where a vast area of about :no "00 acres Ik being brought under Irri gation and settle,! as rapidly as It Is pre pared for the water. A part of this Is tule maish and another part lake-bed r.ow under from three to 15 feet of water, whieh will He reclaimed by draining. The past year tho Hureau of Soils sent experienced men into the Klamath Ba sin who went over It section by section and made a thorough study of the soils and soil condirlons. Including not only the upland soils, but also those which are to be reclaimed. Soil .Map Sent Out. A map was also constructed showing the areas covered by different soils and a report prepared describing these soils. ugcestlng the best methods of handling them, and the croj s for which they are best suited. The value of this work to the people of the Klamath" Basin can scarcely be estimated, but Its value is not confined to residents alone, for by Its Use prospective settlers may determine to a considerable extent whether or not the country will produce the products which they wish to raise. These areas of transition, however, are not confined to the Klamath Basin, for Oregon is a vast empire the re sources of which are but scarcely known to the residents themselves and undreamed of by the world at large. The area alone Is impressive, for with Its 95.274 square miles." or nearly 64. (Mio.OOO acres, it Is as large as all the New England Slates, with Indiana added, and larger than New York and Pennsylvania combined. It now has a population of only about 600.000 people, but were this vast area populated as densely as Switzerland, it would sup port 12.000,000 reople. or as England, 40.000. 000 people. In conditions of soil, climate and natural resources, Oregon has vastly the advantage of either of these countries, for Oregon's greatness is not expressed In extent of acres alone. There are thousands of acres of semi arid, non-irrigable land, valuable for grazing purposes alone, but there are other sections as large as entire East ern States devoted to toe raising of fruits, grain, garden truck, hops and berries. The Willamette Valley alone contains 4.000.000 acres of tillable land, exclusive of 1. 000.000 acres more of ad jacent tillable hill land. Rogue Klver Valley and Its tributary valleys con tain 105.000 acres: Hood River Valley, famous for Its tine apples, contains Sn.000 acres: Grand Ronde Valley. 14o, 000 acres: Columbia River Valley, 40. OuO acres: the I'mattlla Irrigation proj ect. 40.000 acres; the ITmpqua Valley, 12S.000 acres; the Coos Bay district, noted for Its valuable dairy products, a considerable area; Lake County dis trict. 100.000 acres of Irrigable land. Tr.ere is also the Malheur Basin with l'lO.OOO acres: The talles district, in which an Important fruit Industry is being developed; Mosler Valley, with 25.000 acres, and many others. In all of these the same transition which is going on In the Klamath Basin la now taking place. The stock range and extensive grain farms are giving way to small farms, orchards and gardens. New settlers are coming In, and the demand for such help as the bureau of soils can gtve Is greatly needed, and the work of the bureau Is being extended in this state as rapidly as possible.
