ALFALFA IS
KI
IRRIGATION IS THE POWER BEHIND THE THRONE
$5.00
Down and $1 per month, for 30 months, will secure you one acre of Alfalfa. One
acre of Alfalfa will produce from 5 to 8 tons per year. The average price of Alfalfa
is $7.50 per ton. Join our cooperative syndicate and buy as many acres as you can.
$5.00
Of all the forage plants, alfalfa Is the
SI!!.1 wondrful- Aa crop for Irrigated
swetlone. It easily stands at the bead, the
yield of hay bains beyond the compre
hension of those who are not familiar
with Its growth. It la a perennial plant,
and produces on irrigated ground throe
good crops a ysar. with a total yield per
acre of five tons, while six and eight
are often secured. In Crook county It is
the staple hay and green-feed crop, and
yields quickest returns. The first year
It is sown with oats, wheat, barley or
rye, and these yield a splendid oxop. The
next year alfalfa yields abundantly from
two to thro crops. After that it is
food for two crops par season, with
plenty for fall pasturage. It la relished
by and fattens all kinds of stock, In
cluding hogs, cattle, sheep and horses,
and even hens, turkeys and ducks. Pound
for pound. It Is mora nutritious than red
clover or any grass.
Irrigated land with a well-established
crop of alfalfa will furnish a net mini
mum income of from 116 to 110 per
acre. Twenty acres In alfalfa, under
wise management, will yield a cash in
come sufficient to support a family.
Tear by year the free rang for grazing
stock Is being out down, and the demand
for alfalfa becomes greater. Stockmen
and sheepmen pay from 96 to 120 per
ton for alfalfa hay in the stack, accord
ing to the supply obtainable.
mat warn rtrmi.
No stream in the world used for Irri
gation has such remarkable features as
the Deschutes, the source of supply for
the canals of the Deschutes Irrigation
Power company. The Deschutes, one of
the largest. If not the largest. Interior
river, has its beginning in the perpetual
snow fields of the eastern slopes of the
Cascades, and flows' northerly 100 miles
parallel with the mountains. Its entire
course above our diverting point being
highest and most Important parts, for
tunately are Included within the Cas
cade range forest reserve, established by
an act of congress. Thus the source of
the Deschutes Is forever pro tec tad. This
stream possesses peculiar advantages
from an irrigation standpoint, la the
uniformity of flow of a large volume of
pure, clear, soft water. The variation
between its highest and lowest stages is
not more- than It inches. This Is ex
plained because of its velocity. Its free
dom from lea, the dense forest shading
the snow In the timbered district from
sudden melting in the spring, the natu
ral drains caused by the lava subsoil
holding back the spring floods and act
ing as reservoirs, which automatically
feed out water when the river begins to
fall In the summer; and because, the
hotter the summer sun, the greater ths
melting of the snow.

After visiting these lands as a mem
ber of the Oregon state land board, Gov
ernor O. B. Chamberlain says:
"I believe that .three years from now
st least 160.000 acres of desert land wUl
be under actual cultivation, and there is
a possibility of Irrigating at least 3t0.
000 acres more with water taken from
the Deschutes river. It is s magnificent
stream, and water taken therefrom at
an altitude of 4,600 feet will irrigate
lands to the north, northeast and north
west to the -extent of 100,000 or 400,000
acres. Ths land gradually slopes In
those directions from the point where
the water Is taken from the river, -and
the grade Is easy.
Cost wax Be nil
"The result will be that the popula
tion of Crook county will rapidly in
crease, and its wealth In the same pro
portion. All these lands will raise at
least two crops of alfalfa every season.
Alfalfa forms the most profitable crop;
besides, all the cereals will grow on this
irrigated land. It will cost the settler
prices not much in excess of $10 per
acre, with, an actual charge of SI per
acre for water.
"if results In Oregon are to be meas
ured by those obtained in Idaho, it Is
safe to predict that within a few years
these lands will enhance in value from
176 to $100 per acre, I do not believe
there Is a county In the state whose
prospects ere brighter than those of
Crook county."
QATXOB.
The yield of irrigated land is much
greater, and the quality of the product Is
much superior to that of other land.
Supplied with water, tills land will sur
pass the most profitable farming land
in the humid states, 300 to (00 bushels
of potatoes per acre, 40 to 80 bushels
of wheat 60 to 100 bushels of oats
being ordinary yields. Land sown to
alfalfa is made to yield on an average of
five tons of hay per acre, besides leav
ing excellent pasture for fall and winter
purposes. Clover, timothy and blue
grass also yield proportionately big, and .
there Is always a good and profitable
market for all kinds of hay.
OUR PROPOSITION
We ara offering the Deschutes I. P. Co's lands for sale In 6-acre tracts at $35 .per acre, pay
able as follows: $6 down and II par month for SO months. Whan series A, consisting of 190 acres,
shall all have been sold the- subscribers to the series will choose a representative who. In company with
a member of Deschutes Irrigation Syndicate, will visit the lands and select the 10 acres sold and to
be Improved. A contract will than be entered Into for the tract and the first payment made thereon
out of the proceeds of the sales of the series. The company will proceed to fence the tract with a
good, substantial post and 3-wlre fence, clear and plow the land and seed It the first year to alfalfa
and grain, and construct the laterals and distributing ditches for properly Irrigating the crop, and
care for and harvest the- same. The second and third years the alfalfa will be properly irrigated
nd harvested, and each year the crops will be disposed of In open market to the best possible ad
vantage, and at the end of the third year one half of the entire net proceeds of the three crops,
after deducting; the coat of production and fencing, will be returned to the subscribers pro rata as a
dividend. At the expiration of 10 months, or when all the Installments shall have been paid, each
subscriber will receive a warranty deed for his land free from ail incumbrances.
While' the company does not undertake to guarantee any specified amount in the shape of
dividends. It Is confidently expected that the dividend will not be teas than $26 per acre, and should
present prices continue the dividend, would easily repay the Investors' entire ouUay, leaving the im
proved land as a clear profit.
EVERYBODY CAN JOIN OUR SYNDICATE AND SHARE IN THE PROFITS.
Men and women of moderate means; merchants, clerks and. In fact, anyone able to meet our liberal
terms can get from 1 to 40 acres of selected alfalfa land that we will Improve, fence. Irrigate and
plant to alfalfa and wheat and apply the profits from crops on payment of this land.
WE ARE SURE THAT ONE THIRD OF THE PRICE WILL BE REFUNDED TO YOU FROM
CROPS BY TIME PAYMENTS ARE COMPLETED, BUT IF PRICES KEEP UP TO THE
PRESENT PREVAILING PRICES ON ALFALFA WE MAY PAY IT ALL BACK TO YOU.
Under our safe, sure co-operative plan you can pay $6.00 down and $1.00 per acre monthly on
K many acres as you can swing, and at the end of thirty months you get deed to land and your
are of poof Its of crops raised on the land while you are making these payment.
HOW IT FIGURES OUT AND WHAT $10 MONTHLY WILL ACCOMPLISH.
Suppose you are working every day and could not go out on land to Improve and cultivate It;
yet you knew that the same lands In famous Yakima Valley were worth from 1100 to $600 per acre
and that our lands would be worth that In the near future; suppose you paid first payment of $6.00
per acre on ten acres And $10 per month afterwards for to months you would pay In all $350.
And it Is safe to say that this same land would then bring $1,000 from advance In value alone. But
beat of all It would be Improved, put under irrigation and cultivated and the crops raised on ' It
would be worth (we estimate) not less than $300 and aa much as $600, and you would get that In
cash along with deed to land, making the land coat you little If anything.
"The land we are offering for sale Is about 66 miles from the terminus of the Columbia Southern
Railroad, at Shaniko, Oregon. This road will In the near future be extended to a point near these
lands, thus opening a splendid market for all farm products. In addition to which there Is at home
In the Deschutes country an Immediate market for all the country will be able to produce for years
owing to rapid settlement and lumbering Interests. Besides, stockmen rake the country every fall
as with a fine comb for hay for winter feeding, driving cattle to the alfalfa stacks.

HOW YOUR PROFITS ABE FIGURED
The first year the land will be seeded
to alfalfa, with wale will be sows rye,
wheat or oats, alfalfa net producing a
orop of amy eoaseqaeaoe the first sea
son, as It requires two years to be
come properly rooted. This orop of
grata will be worth at least 17-80 per
aore. The two following years the land
will produce at least live sobs a year per
acre, or 10 tons, witch at the present
prices would bring la the stack $160 or
$75 per acre each year. At IS per seat
on aa investment, this would make this
laad worth $300 aa acre. Sat at the
usual prices these figures would he out
ta half and even at that each year's orop
would be worth $37.60 per acre, which,
added to the grata orop, would total for
the three yean $88.50 per aore. We
estimate that the total cost of producing
these three crops, tnnladrsg all lmprove-
f or the laad, will amount to $80

There la no reason why this land
should not show a very large Increase n
value during the next few years, as
lands of a similar character but In leas
favored parts of ths Pacific northwest
are now selling for $100 per acre
more.
Keep In mind the fact that this la net
a rough wilderness, but an exceedingly
fertile tract of land capable of high
cultivation. The profits from It are
limited only by the purchaser's energy.
The following Is an extract from a let
ter written by K W. Thatcher, chemist
of the Washington Agricultural college
at Pullman, Wash.:
"REPOHTS Or RESULTS. OK ANAJ
TBI8: Shows the soil to be richer In
potash, lime and humus than the Yak
ima valley soil. The fertility extends to
a good deptb, the sub soil at three that
being almost as rich as the surface soil.
This soil Is similar to but better than
Yakima valley soil."
Inasmuch as the Yakima valley has
long been considered the richest valley
in the Pacific northwest, we consider
this letter of great importance, aad
coming as It does from a rival state. It
la of more than usual significance.
The Increase In the value of land by
irrigation Is well illustrated In the case
of W. T. Shaw of Freewater, Or. Seven
years ago he bought a quarter einllnsi
of land In the raw state for $(60. It
was necessary for him to borrow $1(0
on the laad In order to make the pay
ment, and he searched In vain for a
bank In the country that would take a
mortgage on the quarter section for the
$360. finally being compelled to go to a
personal friend' and borrow the money
on other security. He immediately be
gan the reclamation of the land y alow
degrees, and baa seeded one half of It to
alfalfa, besides planting an orchard and
otherwise improving It. Just six years
from the time he waa refused a loan of
$360 on the 1(0 acres, he waa offered
33.320 for It. aa a result of putting
water on it and making it productive.
Settlers In the Vlneland country, near
Lewlaton, Idaho, have grown Independ
ently rich in five years. Lands that were
comparatively cheap five and six years
ago have sold for 31,000 per acre ad
joining the town. These were fully im
proved with orchards and vineyards.
One' crop from a 10-acre apple and peerh
orchard near Yakima, Wash., netted
Its proprietor enough to pay off a mort
gage based on a valuation of (360 per
acre, and left him enough In the bank
to build a- new $3,600 home for his
family.
