victlon that it will not be dllllcnlt to Im
prove our pnstiires,and keep them In good

undeniably necessary, then, that our far
mers extend their tmsluro facilities by
such mentis, nml nmko thu most of what
laud they devnto to pasturage, or else
they will lose the profit tlio land can and
should yield, fur wheat cttlturo begins to
have a reliable profit among us. Hut
the question Is; In view of tho rising pro
fit for the good cultivation of land In this
valley, how much can our farmers afford
to dovote to pasturage '.' How much pro
fit do they realize, on tlieavcrngf, for the
great extenl'of prairie lands which now
llo wild ? How much would that land
pay If It 'was well cultivated luitead of
being almost ns worthless ns worn-eut
pasture land?
'llils valley Is curable of iirodiicliiir
more grass than It now atllinU by pro
per care and cultivation of one fourth th6
acreage now used for grazing. It can also
yield ten times the amount of wheat we
lmvo raised the present year, nnd that
bort of cultivation would Insuro us popula
tion and wealth as greatas that possessed
by any equal sjinre In the world, so used
and cultivated; AVcshall probably have,
next year, n surplus of o,U00,000 bushels
ofwhrat from this valley, which will uf
ford cargoes for thousand-ton ships every
other week day In the yeur. It will be
no dllllcult matter for tills valley to raise,
25,000,1100 bushels, which It can do by the
proper cultivation of erne fourth of Its soil
in wheat, and thut would bring to the
Columbia river secn hundred and 11 fly

likely wheut fioni tho Upper Columbia

certainly would have been done but for
