A SUCCbSSFUL PARMHR'S OPINION In conversation with a ruosper 0 is l .11 mer this week The Bulletin v as impressed by a statement he rude relative to the best method ot r: king a success of agriculture in ti;s upper Deschutes valley. This rtner has made money at his bust - !-. an c!d Irrigator, end knows v hereof he speaks. He deplore lite too evident inclination of many m w comers to turn their whole at-t- ntion to grain raising, aud states that those who do that exclusively will certainly make a failute of ranching financially. The foundation of successful Urmmg, as this gentleman believes, -- the cow. the hog, aud the hen. Hvery farm should have a goodly number of tbeie wealth producing animals and fowls. Then, instead ti raising so much grain, put in -r crul acres to root crops, such as c rrots, rutabagas, turnips, etc. T.'tse yield abundantly here and re excellent food for both cows j .1 hogs threat milk and fat pro i ci.r. T!n rancher has produced . ::t tons of carrots to the acre this '-.tonm,', ground aud has re- .-.d 511 per ton for them or $88 p : acre. Deluding the small cost v ceding cure aud harvest aad v u have a nice profit left. With a supply of root crops, 'the uj tti-r of feed for stock, is largely j tiled. The man with a few milch . s, then 'hould make motley. .iter iu B ml will average close i'j cent-, a p. mud the year around Am one who has ew been to the i.urv buhincss will tali you that tie re is a iutulsome profit in that 1-rn.c- And then there are the bens. J.'s at present are so scarce here tLat the housewives go begging r tbeu at 40 cents a doaen. A K"0dly number of laying hens 011 every ranch would thus be a great wealth producer and would help materially iu making the rancher -.uccessful. They would help him to pay his debts and build up a . 'intertable home for old age. Tlie hen i3 one of the very greatest wealth producers in American agri culture, contributing annually about $300,000,000 to the agricul tural output. There should be more hens iu the upper Deschutes valley. At present good pork is consid ered almost a delicacy in Uend it is so scarce. There is no danger that the market will be overstocked. Raise loot crops, then fatten hogs on those crops, with the help of at little gram. There should be more pens with grunting porkers in them. Diversified farming is the farm ing that pays. That should be the kiud practiced in the Upper Des chutes valley. Theory is said to be the pathfind er of discover', but it takes exper ience to pilot it ou the way. Problems That Confront The Irrigator. Flooding: in RcctmiKtitnr Checks. I'looditie in rectruitnilar checks has been largely superseded by the use of contour checks, except iu orchard, vineyard, and garden work. Unless the land is very nearly on a level, much earth ha.s to be shifted iu making the rectan gular inclosures, and the levees are of irregular heights, while levees on contour lines are practically uniform. There is, consequently, vreater difficulty iu passing machin ery over theiu. ifor orchard nnd vineyard, where the rectnugulnr arrangement of the trees and vines continually interferes with contour work, rectangular checks are wide ly used where the character, of the soil calls lor floodiug. They may be large, inclosing quite an area of vine or trees, or they may lie very asiuau, even out 10 teei square. I'liis. of course, depends upon the grade of the laud. for the growth ot garden truck, also, the rectangular arrangement accords with the rows iu which such products are (trowu. Iu such cases the laying off is temporary, as when the crops are gathered, or at the end of the season's succession of crops, the levees are plowed down, and then the whole field thoroughly plowed and harrowed and the levee system restored, sometimes by backing furrows each way and flu- itmnz witn rinr.o tools or ry using a ridger. etc. Iu small gardens it may be thought better to retain the levee system and work the bottoms of the checks with fork or spade, accord ing to the usual methods of hand power gardening. Iu field work on level land the checks may be so large that teams are used inside the levees, and iu that case the irriga tion arrangements are permanent. f Whether, however, the levees be temporary or permanent, the water is applied about the same way de scribed last week for the contour check system. Iu the most satisfactory work in rectangular checks the check bot toms are approximately leveled by scraping the hummocks into the low places, using surplus dirt for the levees. Crading or leveling very desirable aud the initial cost is returned many times over iu the ease and satisfaction with which the water is evenly distributed in side the check. This is often done by running small furrows between the plants in the check bottoms so that the water is led this way aud that until all the plants are equally supplied. The Daprasced lied. The depressed bed, largely used in the growing of vegetables and small fiuits, is reully a form of rec tangular checking. In this ease, however, the levees are widened so that they are not merely boundaries to confiue the spread of the water to the inclosed areas, but they are also made to carry water to these areas by small raised ditches which are mad upon their tops. It is best for light, sandy loam, which has slight reter.tiveuess and there fore loses moisture rapidly both by FAPMS, TIMBER LANDS and Town Property BOUGHT and SOLD.

Shallow rooting plants like straw berries, which would peri.sh b the methods ot irrigation employed for them on more retentive soil, aud which will lie described presently, make very sati factory growth and have along fruiting season if grown iu a depressed bed, especially if they Hre mulched well wilh rotten stiaw or coare manure and the water al lowed to distribute itself under this cover by admission Irotu the raised ditch at several points at the same time The ditch at the surface level is much lcs satisfactory iu such work; consequently it is run along the top of the levee. This arrauge meut is particularity adapted to very light soils, as stated, aud espe cially in the hotter twits of the arid region, where w-uer has to lie applied once or twice a week to shallow rooting plants and where the shading of the ground by a mulch lowers its teuqierature and protects the roots Irout hat, which would be apt to destroy them iu spite of the frequent use of water alone. Thi recourse take the place ot mulching and sprinkling and is vastly better for a hot, arid locality. The sprinkled water flies off from the mulch with great rapidity und much water is ued with little benetit to the plant, while the filling of the depressed bed from the ditch and spreading the water through and under the mulch is very economical of water and of most direct advantage to the plant. For the hot, dry season of the year, in places wbete there is no danger 01. supersaturating the soil, the depressed bed is available for all kinds of vegetables aud small fruits and flowers, and the use of this system is really the secret of success in growing them iu some regions. It is quite widely employed also by market gardeners and others, even where heat is not excessive, but where a light, sandy soil jtre dotninates A prominent example of this is iu the sand hills south of Sau Francisco, where the vegetable growers, who are largely natives of the Mediteiraneau countries. have translormed large areas of hillsides into terraces and on these have arranged depressed beds, chiefly of quite small areas, and are growing large quantities of garden truck. The water is raised by windmills aud pumps from wells in the low places and deliv ered into small flumes which run from the windmill towers to the opposite hillsides, supported by very light, high trestles. The water is then, after supplying the highest terrace, conveyed most in geniously by troughs or small ditches from terrace to terrace until ull the beds have been filled. The terraces are so narrow and the beds on them so small and irregular iu shape that depressing them and fill ing them from time to time seems about the only available way to make use of such little corners of leachy soil. The system calls for an immense amount of hard hand work, but the Mediterranean im migrant seems born to it. Farm ers' Bulletin No. 138. Timber Claims and Homesteads located, sur veyed and estimated.
