Devefopmerit of Agricultural Sections. Described by Settlers;
Two Writers Tell of Powell
Butte Progress and Prosperity
(Written by Clnrk Morse.)
Slxty-flvo bushels of oats to tho
noro for a 200-acre flold Is tho oxporl
rnco of Allen Wllcoxon on irrigated
land in tho Powell ilutto blstrlct
and this Is but ono of many such In
stances of what Is being dono on this
onc-tlmo desert.
This country, which lies 17 miles
northeast of lleml, extends In a grad
ual slope from tho foot of tho buttes
down on to 'what was onco termed
"tho lower desert." Ten years ago
the first settlers decided th oloose
enndv soil which would grow tho
heavy sagebrush would grow grain
They cleared off tho brush and Junl
rcr. many cutting the latter into cord
wood and hauling It to Prlnovllle for
exnenso money. It was discovered
gradually what could bo dono hero
and bo more and more settled. Then
camo tho ditch of Uie Deschutes Irri
gation & Power Co., now tho Central
Oregon Irrigation Company, aud the
desert begun to bloom.
Hog raining and dairying are now
among the loading Issues on tho ditch
land. This naturally leads to the
growing of grassos to which the soil
and climate are well adapted. George
Braxee. in the last tw,o years, has
seeded something over 65 acres. Last
year bo cut 45 acres of this. Tho
wholo 45 averaged ovor four tons to
tho aero and 74 acres went hotter
than five tons. To sell this hay at
an average prlco of $L50 n ton and
four tons to tho aero would net him
$1350, or $30 an acre. This y,ear he
has fenced off 20 acres for hog pas
ture in which ho has about 100 hogs,
and still he will have to cut some of it
once and perhaps twice. The rest of
the 65 acres will bo cut and used for
winter feed. Tho entire growth of
tho pig will thus be made on alfalfa,
grain being used onty at farrowing
time and to fatten them for the mar
ket. This spring Mr. Braxee sold a
number of hogs which he had raised
in this manner, at tne ago of seven
and eight months, that brought
him something over S apiece above
shipping expenses.
Last year 20 acres of grass was
seeded on tho McCaffery-WurxwIeler
place In June, One good cutting was
xnado the same year. This year it
has been divided, one-half being used
for hog pasture. This pasture was
fenced June 10. As it was quite far
advanced, six acres of it was cut.
making a ton and a half to the acre
at that time. It Is now running 2C
sows and 140 pigs and It Is expected
that this will run the sows until the
farrowing season in August and the
pigs until tho first of October, at
which time they will be eight months
old and will weigh from ISO to 175
pounds. A sow running on pasture
while carrying her pigs and properly
fed while suckling wllh on an aver
age litter of C pigs, wean them at
$1.66 each. Allowing 500 pounds of
grain, which Is a large allowance, to
fatton them out to 200 pounds, it
will run the cost to about 17.26. At
the present price of hogs, these
would bring $1C50, or a profit of
$9.05, or $126.70 an acre for the ton
acres of pabture.
So much for the hogs and grass,
and now Just a word as to cows. As
yet but few have taken advantage of
the excellent dairying opportunities.
Hay may be raised or purchased at a
medium price. As for tho dispone! of
cream, there Is a co-operative cream
ery at Redmond and two Independent
creameries, one at Iiend and one at
Prlneville. The demand of all these
for cream exceeds tho supply by far.
The lowest price paid for butter fat
eo far this year has boen 28 cents a
pound, while on the outside It has
gone as low as. 26 and 23 cents in
vomo places.
In feeding 11 tons of hay, Qeorgo
Trucsdale made a profit of $50.60.
And besides feeding his cows he fed
two horses, a bull and two yearlings.
A farmer having 40 acres of alfalfa
which will go four tons at the least
calculation. If properly cared for. can
feed Ills hay to cows and, according
to Mr. Truesdale'a ngures and his
ctock Is average make $700 a
year for his work over and above the
market price of his hay.
As stated above, Allen Wllcoxon
raised 65 bushels of oats on 200
acres. These oats sold for 50 cents
a bushel, or $32.50 an acre. Black
barley Is as yet an experiment on both
dry and irrigated lands. James
Or eon sowed some on nowly cleared
dry land and it made a little over 40
bushels to the aore. In other In
stances, on small plots of summer fal
lowed land. It has gone as high as 50
bushels. Experienced feeders claim
that it Is equal, if not auprlor, to corn
as a hog feed.
Two years ago A. W. Bayn planted
thrco acres of potatoes on dry land.
Last year he seeded it to bearded
barley and harvested 150 bushels
from tho three acres. At present
prices, ho got a little over $30 an
aero on $30 land.
Last yoar Tweot and Porry had in
between 300 and 400 acres of wheat
which averaged a little more than 30
bushelB to tho aero.
orn, as yet, Is an experiment al
though numerous farmers aro trying
It with from one to tea acres and so
far everything points to a very fair
crop.
That this Is a potato country bos
( Written by Mrs. A. 1). Morrill)
The Powoll Butte country, now ono
of tho garden spots of Central Ore-
gnu, has uudcrgono n marked chungo
In the past flvo years. Whcro a wagon
road extended live years ago nearly
tho wholo length of tho old river
bed, we now find every foot of It in
alfalfa, clover, timothy and grain.
A pleasant and homellko place
that has been built up during this
time Is that of C. L. Krost. Mr. and
Mrs. Frost and family came hero
four years ago from Sweet Home,
hunting a healthful location for Mrs.
Krost. Seeing her at work In her
benutlful garden shows what tho cli
mate haa accomplished. Mr. Frost
has 40 acres of ditch land, with 3,3
acres of alfalfa, 1 '4 acres of clover
and a half aero of thrifty garden.
Onions, radishes, lettuco, beets,
spinach, carrots, rutabaga, beans,
corn and other varieties of vegeta
bles are raised hero. Kvery Irrlgablo
aero on this place la In crop. Tho
ho 11 so has'seven largo rooms, besides
store and ao.mrator ropms and n
milk room with 10-Inch doublo walls
built with air Bpaca between.
Mr. Frost feeds tho hay raised to n
herd of dairy oowb, having IS head
and a few hogs In addition.
J. A. Warner camo here last fall
from Idaho and bought tho Pearl
Fulkorson farm. He has In crop 20
acres of alfalfa, 5 of clover, 8 of tim
othy and 5 of potatoes, with an acre
each of garden and orchnrd. Tho or
chard contains raspberries, goose
berries and currants. Mrs. Warner
has 125 young turkeys raised from
eight old ones, her turkey hens lny-
ing thrco lots of eggs apiece, and a
great flock of chickens of tho Ply-
been proved beyond a doubt. In Its I
10 or 12 years existence, agricultur
ally, a failure In potatoen has not
been known. Used as a summer fal
low It gives the gram farmer a re
turn from all his land every ylar In
fttpflil nf Al'nrv ntlinf viur T.nat vnn.
ihp rmn ... -nn.t ....r TnnV nf mnr.io keen several cows, 16 brood BOWS
ket discouraged many who had ven
tured heavily in this lino.
George Hobbs and Tom Langdon
put In 70 acres. They dug from 65
to 75 sacks to tho acre. Many of
these were fed to hogs, returning
about 35 cents a hundred. Tho rest
were a loss. This year they went
back with 60 acres and Hobbs has In
30 acres on dry land. With an al
most certain market at $20 and a
good chance for $30 a ton, this prac
tically insures $60 an aero or bettor.
It is on undtsputnble fact that a
man who plays the potato game In
dustriously for a period of ton years
will become independent. Many Pow
ell Butte people realize this to bo so
In counties where erojw are very
often a complete failure and are tak
ing a fruit country, but nearly every
thing Is unknown.
In a locality where nearly every
feed induclvo to pork production oan
be profitably raised, and tho largest
livestock market on the coast but 260
miles away, tho hog industry Is bound
to be a main factor. Among those to
realinj this are George and Lee
Hobbs, with about 150 early spring
pigs apiece to ratten out this fall.
George Brazee, Earl Sauifders and
Allen Wllcoxon all have In tho nelgh
Itorhood of a hundred hogs, besides
others with from 40 to 76. In four
years Mr. Golden has sold over $400
worth of hogs from an Investment of
$4 In one sow pig and has several
good sows left.
Powell Butte lays no claim to be
ing a fruit country, but neolry every
home has a small orchard started and
strawberries and other small fruits
yield In abundance. Alvln Itlgg has
a strawberry patch covering ono
flfth of an acre, two years old, from
which over 1000 boxes wero p!cke!
this year.
Back these things up with two rail
roads, a farmers' union warehouse,
creameries, an abundasco of all kinds
of building material close by, tho
best of public and high school facil
ities, numerous large power plants
within 20 miles, a choice climate,
wonderful scenery nnd a wideawake
and congenial lot of business men,
with world-renowned Western hospi
tality freely exhibited In the neigh
bors, and you have Powell Butte, the
Ideal farming region.

Tho work that la being done by the

Tho exceptional fertility of tho soil
produces sumo of tho finest hay aud
grain In the country. Nearly all
kinds of grain do well here, among
which mny b mentioned wheat, oats,
ryo and barley. Splendid crops of
liny, Including alfalfa, timothy, clover
nnd rye, aro grown extensively.
Spaugh & WImer and Frank

The dairy Industry has this year
received a great Impetus from the
founding of n cheese factory at taliN

farmera have made excellent profits
by tliua disposing of their dairy prod
