NORTH OF SNAKE RIVER.
South of Snake river is the Walla Walla
regon and the country beyond there from
the Blue Mountains to the river is a con
tinuation of the same rich wheat belt,
though greater elevation causes a decided
difference in the seasons. The country is
newer to agriculture as you go further i p
the river and along the mountains. Gar
field county, that extends cast to the Idaho
line, is as new as the regions north of the
Snake the famous Palousc country.
There is a decided difference in looks of
grain in old settled and newly farmed dis
tricts of the upper country. The old set
tled and farmed lands show the advantage
of more thorough subduing of the soil in
greater areas of fall sown grain and bet
ter crop". That is moro apparent in a
year of drouth than when the country is
well watered by the usual May and June
rains. This year there has been little or
no rain through the entire Upper Cohim--bia
region for two months past. This
condition of climato calls outtho peculiar
qualities of the soil, especially its capacity
to resist drouth. That the soil of all this
region has especial ability to retain mois
ture is certain. Give tho lands of West
orn Oregon tho same test of endurance
and they will show the need of rain in
dwindling crops and fading gardens to a
much greater degree than east ot the
mountains. Everywhere, north and
south of Snake river, for a hundred miles
cast and west as well as north and south
I noticed gardens looking remarkably
well. This year has especially tested the
dualities of the so-called dry lands, away
from the Blue Mountains, south of the
Snake, and west of the Coeur d' Alone
Mountains of Northern Idaho and in the
region known as the Big Bend country.
This vear rains ceased simultaniously all
through the whole of Oregon, Washing
ton and Northern Jilalio. mere dry
lands had lower altitude and earlier sea
sons: crons there were wit in earlier in
the spring and therefore are further ad
vanced and will make better average yield.
This redounds to the credit of the dry
lands, showing that they possess natural
advantages that make them desirable, not
withstanding tho scarcity of timber and
of living water. Experience shows that
water can be got by digging wells and
many springs arc found when the country
is moro thoroughly examined. The sup
posed scarcity of water is becoming an
exploded theory, in many sections, and
tho construction of railroads brings down
lumber, fencing and fuel at a compara
tively reasonable cost to the whole coun
try yet settled. Time is developing much
and reducing things to a permanent basis.
Tho settler no longer needs to locate close
to the mountains for tho great enterprises
of our day aro "bringing the mountain to
Mahomet," at least tho timber that grows
there is moved to tho plain.
The early settlements were near Snako
river and that portion of the Palouso
country along tho river, above Almota, is
considerably settled and made productive.
Along Snake river, in the great canyon
made by it, are some arable spots in bends
of the river that produce excellent,, fruit.
Mr. H. H. Spaulding, son of tho old mis
sionary to the Nez Forces, is settled at Al
mota and has a thriving orchard close to
the river, on a fertile nook left by its wind
ings. That is a beautiful sight, compared
with the sterile shores and the outcrop
ping ledges of tho high walls that tho
river has excavated. Following a ravine
and using a grado made at its head wo
found our way out of Snake river canyon
to the Palouso plains. Down on the river,
where fertile spots can bo found, and on
tho benches of tho high walls that enclose
it, can bo grown fruits and vegetables of
even- kind, that cannot be grown on the
uplands. The soil is quick, tho springs
early and the winters less severe along the
river. The climato is entirely' different.
The people of the Palouse country are
much pleased at tho prospect of having
the Palouso branch railroad completed to
Colfax and Moscow this season and have
put in greater area of crops on tliat ac
count The productions of this region,
however, will not nearly equal that of tho
counties South of Snako river. They also
have a far greater proportion of spring
wheat, and the yield per aero will not
equal tliat of fanners south of tho river.
Towards Lewiston. fas wo gather by letter
from Mr. A. F. Parker, of tlu Lrfswiston
Vaih w)n haii l.itplv been over the farm
ing lands of Northern Idaho,) fall wheat I
is a good crop everywhere and spring I
whent will in some localities do fairly. He
our assurance that, if farmers will put in
fall wheat properly they will have sure
crops. Wherever fall wheat was foun
on tho whole journey, except in some lo
calities near Snake river where tho snow
blew off and wheat froze out, crops are
good. That whole region has as near a
certainty as this world admits of if farm
ers will procure the hardiest winter wheat
and sow in tho fall ; some of tho best
fields wo saw were sown very late in the
fall and did not germinate until the snow
went oil, ordid not make sulhcientgrowth
to appear above tho ground. Those fields,
and others sown very early, procure the
best yield. It may be a solution of tho
question, (where fall sown wheat is liable
to winter-kill,) to sow so late that freezing
cannot do harm and yet the grain can
come up as soon as the snow goes off.
Moscow, Palouse City and Farmington
are near the Idaho line, one side or the
other, and near tho mountains. The sea
son there was backward but grain looks
well and may come out fairly if tho
weather is not excessively hot with hot
winds. A little rain will do that country
great good. It was a satisfaction to re
alize tliat wherever fall wheat stands a
good crop is promised ; also that bailey,
oats and timothy all arc a first rate crop
inmost parts and gaidens eve where
look well. Everywhere Twent I was as
sured by farmers that they would put in
fall wheat hereafter. I found no one dis
couraged on account of the season though
many more disappointed in not realizing
tho greater yield sometimes given by
spring sown wheat say 33 to 45 bushels.
The rule as to harvest prospects through
tho wholo Palouse, Spokane and Big Bend
regions may bo given as follows : Tho
small area of fall sown wheat will yield
25 bushels and upwards 25 bushels is a
safe average. Early sown spring wheat
may average 20 bushels in some districts
and is expected to average 18 in all. I.ato
sown spring wheat will realize but little,
say 8 to 12 bushels, and more in some for
ward localities. From Colfax to Farming
ton crops aro poor. Around Steptoe butto
tho crops are fair, as that is a superior sec
tion of country- North, fiom there to
the railroad tho acreage is light m wheat
Tho country is newly settled and trans
portation not convenient.
Alone Hancman creek the crops aro
good, that is to say they are excellent for
tho chance they havo had. homo pieces
of fall wheat in this section are remark
able. Ono of two hundeed acres on Cab
bage Flat is estimated to yield 45 bushels
to the acre. Near Spangle, on the road
toward Cheney, a piece of fall sown grain
is equally good, though put in indiffer
ently well late in the fall on sod-land
plowed Bhabbily the June previous. It is
unfortunate that moro fall grain was not
sown. Rock Creek valley is an extensive
and very fertile section east of Hang
man creek to tho Idaho line, with prob
ably 400 settlers who have in a large
area of wheat. Quito a fair proportion is
fall sowing and early spring will yield
largely. Take tho country south of the
latitude of Farmington and it should ex
port 25,000 to 30,000 tons of wheat, or
from 800,000 to l,UOU,UOU bushels, and
tliat north of that placo should send 10,
000 to 12,000 tons to the railroad towns
on the Northern Pacific. A good portion
of all this grain will lie ground at the
local mills and shipped as flour.
North of the railroad is an extensive
region that will yield as good an avcrago
as the country south, but it is new and
may be expected to use and consume all
its products. Tho Bic Bend country is
rapidly nettling up and farms are new,
but tho yield of crops is fully up to aver
age. Several pooplo tell mo that now
ground west of Spraguc makes a showing
of crops oven better than lands nearer tho
mountains. North of Spraguo to tho
Spokane river, in the Cottonwood dis
trict, crops are very good considering,
Some Californians who settled there, and
on Loul creek and Coal creek that, run
south to Crab creek, havo followed their
custom of fall sowing wheat and have ex
cellent crops to show on summer-fallowed
sod. That section is earlier than nearer
tho Couer d'AIeno mountains and this
year's experience is favorable to theso so
called dry lands. Wherever I went the
finers who had experience of the coun
try were no-wiso discouraged ; new com
ers see the success that has attended set
tlers of older date and realize that iiossi
bilities aro all in their favor.
I met at Cheney a subscriber to the
Farmer who was disjioec-d to pull down
tho comers of his mouth a little. He
expected half a crop of wheat but all'thcr
crops were fair. When interrogated he
sjil his wheat would go twenty bushel
to the acre. I asked him , "In what coun
ty except this would 20 bushels of wheat
nass for half a cropf I met there a far
mer who was showing samples of his
grain ; though his style of speech did not
inspire confidence his facts were plain
enough to deserve consideration. He had
PORTLAND, OREGON,
a bunch of white winter wheat, well
headed and good length, sown in No
vember, that ho expected would go 30
bushels. He showed a stool of 30 heads of
Australian club, almost ripe, that he said
went 50 bushels last year and he thought
was better this year sowed in April. lie
had two samples of Little Club that he
expected would yield 20 bushel, sown in
May about the middle. I asked him if
ho plowed deep or not, and he answered
that he did not plow at all, but harrowed
in the same gram tliat grew last year on
the same stubble. That is what some
call farming and that was tho alleged
results of such mockery of farming in a
very drouthy year. The noticeablo fact
concerning his club wheat was that the
ground had no rain after it was planted.
That is a remarkable statement to make
but it is certainly true that this upper
country soil has wondciful capacity to re
sist dryness. At Colfax I saw Dr. Miller,
who corresponds with tho Dop.iitmcnt of
Agriculture. Ho says he was employed
to view and report on lands in Whitman
county by Eastern men who wanted in
formation before investing in the N. J
railroad, and did go over every township
from the Columbia to the Palouse liver,
sending 50 specimens of soil to the Smith
sonian Institution for analysis. These
samples were taken from lands 80 miles
apart. Tho reports of the analysis, ho
says, classes all tho samples as having tho
same general characteristics, but samples
from the dry region of hitman countv
west of tho railroad, were reported as pos
sessing greater power to endure absence
of moisture, and for production of wheat.
So it appears that nature lies adapted the
soil to the circumstances. Thocool nights
and heavy dews prevailing through this
region do-much to preserve tho crops by
retaining moisture in the soil. Crops
havo been known to mature and make
good yield where no rain fell from date of
plant ng. Wo drove up, one evening, to
a farm house near Medical lake, north of
Chcnoy, ten miles, to water tho team and
inquired of the lady about the crops. Sho
said the spring wheat was light, would
yield 20 bushels perhaps, and remarked
that the ground was very moist for all the
dry weather. Her husband was plowing
corn tho day before and found tho dirt
so wet that when he took it in his hand
it would adhere by its own moisture.
Such is the case everywhere and it in
sures tho maturing of crops where they
would foil in other countries.
Ritzville is in tho dry lands suio
enough. I was told by a gentleman who
had recently ridden through that locality
that homo fifty settlers had made homes
there,, and where they farmed well they
havo good wheat and good crops gener
ally, this year.
Coming down from Cheney to Wallula
by rail, I stopped over all day to take the
train to Walla Walla, and improved the
opportunity to learn something about the
surrounding country. Of all tho inhos
pitable places in existence Wallula can
enter for a premium. Tho Walla Walla
river comes down through sand and sage
brush of tho most desolate nature, and
lends a fringo of willows to the landscape.
Near by, on tho south, is a high ridge,
whoo breaks aro forbidding in tho ex
treme; away from tho river the desert
aspect stretches as far as vision can
reach. Tho Columbia separates this from
a bluff shore on tho north that represents
no aspect of civilization. Tho fact that it
is a railroad junction induced the com
panies to erect a hotel here, and there is
besides a restaurant, a store and a whisky
shop. That aliout describes civilization
at Wallula. I chose tho storekeeper for
my informant, and found Mr. Amos Cum
niings a very pleasant gentleman willing
and able to give information. Ho has a
growing trade with ncighlioring farmers!
Where were tho fanners? I asked. The
great ridgo on tho south proved to lie a
continuation of tho same that I descended
somo weeks liofore, when returning from
Pendleton. Tho uplands of Umatilla
crown this ridge and reach forty miles
away. Only two miles from the station
were farms, and a brother of Mr. dim
ming' has an excellent farm a little fur
thert off. There is, it seems an ex
tensivo farming region within easy reach
of Wallula in that direction ; five miles
northeast, in Walla Walla county, were
new settlers, who had fair crops. It seems
that tho dcert aspect follows up tho Co
lumbia and the Walla Walla rivers and
changes to a good farming country three
or four miles away; Then again there is
a new settlement across in Klickitat
county, north of tho Columbia, a wide
region that was overlooked until last
year, but already shows good crops to
prove its value. Within three rnileo of
tho Columbia good soil commences, and
for a length of sixty and breadth of fifteen
to eighteen miles u a good agricultural re
cion that is almost entirely vacant to
day, while settlers are pressing on hun
dreds of miles further away from marki t
to find homes. This u as strange as it i I

true. There is no more deceiving country
in the world than these river canyons
and the desert shores of these rivers. You
seem to be in a region without possibili
ties of sustaining life, while the summits
of the surrounding bights afford good
farming lands.
From Mr. Babcr, of Junction City, who
was coming down tho Columbia and had
driven out in Northern Wasco and Uma
tilla counties, I learned that crops on Hock
creek are very fine, just above its junc
tion with tho John Day river. Farmers
there say it is the best crop they havo ever
raised. Xc.-ir thn inmith-of the John D.iv
and in the prairio region between that
stream and the Des Chuttes the country is
being settled and crops aro fair. The
poorest reports I had were from Klickitat
valley, but over towards Yakima crops
gave better promise.

and five millions of bushels, or between
125,000 and 150,000 tons.

THE PALOUSE.
Colkax, W. T., July 0, 1883.
It is a rather fearful trip to take in
midsummer, this journeying through the
Upper Country beneath tho hot sun and
over tho dusty roads It is more than I
had bargained for, though tho informa
tion to bo gained now is worth more than
at any other season. My last was from
Pomeroy. I saw considerable of Garfield
county after leaving that place. Every
where winter wheat was looking well,
though the proportion grew less as wo
came fartner north and east, Every
where that I stopped to converse with
farmers they all agreed that they could
not ofibrd to take chances on spring sow
ing of wheat, and that fall grain was cer
tain to vield twenty-five to thirty bushels
such a year as this, or 1882, if well put
in. Improved farming methods is all
that is needed to make this Upper coun
try certainly productive.
Within a year many settlers have
taken claims south of Alpowai canyon
and west of Lewiston, along Snako river,
but they aro not yet Income producers.
Also, this last siiring many new settlers
came into tho Lower Ueadman country,
north of Pomeroy, and Garfield county is
pretty well taken and has 11,500 popula
tion. Probably small tracts of land aro
vacant and somo land has lcen "smug
gled," no doubt, but it will not , easy to
find uood locations hereafter south of
Snake river, without a man has patience
and takes time to hunt land up. There
aro yet largo tracts of vacant land in
Walla Walla county, and some near thu
river in loth Columbia and Garfield coun
ties, esjjccially on the east side of the
last.
Northern Idaho will sometime ln-como
i-rrv nroduetiie. Tho Nez Perces have
too much laud they do not use, and at
least half their reservation should
Irfi liouL'ht of them. When that is
done and tho Camas Prairio, south of
Ixmli-ton, becomes productive, and the

farmed, tho shipments from that region
will bo larger. This year mey may in

considerable, notwithstanding thu dry
season and the newness of things, but I
could get no intelligent idea of tho area
in grain nor tho probable surplus.
North of the Clearwater, also in Nez
Perco county, Idaho, there is moro ani
mation, Tho Potlatch country has been
settled long enough to send a considera
ble surplus to market, and the Geness?o
country will produce something for c.t
port, as also the region around tho head
of Union Flat, which is extensively
farmed. The troublo is that all that re
gion should havo had fall sowing o
wheat, which would insure twenty-hvo to
thirty bushels of grain, whereas it has
been almost entirely spring sown, and too
often sown lato in the spring, so is de
pendent on showers to come, without
rain all the region abovo Dayton and
north of the Snako will show a light turn
off of spring sown wheat. The common
estimate has been fifteen bushels for
spring sown and twenty for fall sown.
Much spring wheat will be cut for hay or
give ten to twelve bushels. That sown
early in the spring may go eighteen and
even twenty in some cases.
At Wa Wa Wa I met my old friend E.
J. Northcutt, formerly of Salem, now a
successful and hard-working farmer. Ho
has no fall wheat; says the early spring
sowing is good and late sown light ; ex
pects to harvest twenty bushels to tho
acre; thingsaro somo better than in 1882
when eighteen bushels. Ho is near Snake
river, and his winter wheat kills out when
tho snow blows off tho points. Seasons
arc earlier there than at Moscow. Ho
calls twenty bushels a fair halfcrop; has
been there six years, and considers it the
best country ho ever lived in, and has
dono woll thoro. Ho bus sivon uii li lull
ing fuel from llio mountains and buys
coal at $15.50 a ton, and two tons carries
him through tho winter.
From Lcwiston to Farmington tho
spring is lato in coming and tho soil is of
a heavier character. There is some win
ter wheat along there, especially near
Moscow, where tho proportions are one
third each, fall sowing, early and lato
spring sowing. Thoy claim for tbcHO
relatively thirty for fall ; twenty for early
spring; fiften for lato spring. Towards
Farmington there is a greater propoition
of lato spring grain, and from Colfax to
Farmington I saw tho poorest shov for
crops met with on the road. All north of
Snake river wheat looks well, yet there is
no "burning" to materially harm it. A
little rain will help all grain, and doublo
the yield of spring sown, especially lato
spring wheat. Over all tho country from
Umatilla to Spokano bailey and oats aro a
good crop, corn lookH well and gardens
seem in fine condition.
At Almota I mot Mr. L. M. Hinger,
who does an immense business with farm
ers on both sides of tho river. He had
lately traveled over the farming region
between Moscow and Colfax and the
river, and said that while farmers com
plain of tho dry season somowhat thoy
aro not discouraged; neither are new
comers disheartened. Thoy seo tho genu
ine prosperity of thoso who havo been
thero only a few years, and realize that
thoy havo only to settle down to it to do
as well and havo many advantages over
tho early settlerH, who had no reliable
market, had very high transportation and
had to pay enormously for merchandise
and supplies. Now, wheat sells nearly as
high all through the Upper Country as in
the Willamette. Mr. Hinger has account
with over 300 farmers, and says thoy aro
all prosjiorous moderately so at least. I
met many anil found thom cheerful.
Many are hero from California, and they
say dry seasons here liear no comparison
to what they knew there.
Mr. Hinger thinks tho country from
Colfax to Snake river as one-fourth fall
wheat, one-half early spring and one
fourth lato sowing of spring wheat. His
estimate is- Fall sown wheat, twenty
five bushels er acre; early spring, fif
teen bushels ix;r acre; late, eight to ten
bushels per aero. Ho compared prosjiects
with '82 and thinks tho average yield o'
spring sowing will lw better; and Inst
year thero was littlo or no fall sown
wheat. He considers the acreage almost
doublo that of any former year.

and consider them a good thing. White
Russian oats are safe seed to plant", as
they stand all kinds of weather bettor

in planting trees is that either onoof
two year old trees aro preferable to four
or fivo year old trees by many odds.

I noticed you copying letters about'

your kind comments. Now it is not right
for ono jrerson to get out of taxation, to

ho asks farmers : "How you any cattle
year old and upwards?" anil then say,
"Yes; so many a year old and upwards,
and tho bulnnoo ivro not over-six or oiglit
months old."- Tho samoin regard to hogs
six months old and upwards; part are
only three or four months old. Woll, then
tho assessor assesses around until Au
gust, and anothor farmer has thq same
ago stock as tho ono in March, and ho
cannot say they aro not old enough.
Now overybody ought to- bo assessed on
a certain day and questioned as follows:
"What was your property on tho first of
