The sixth nnnual fair under tho
auspices of tho West Side Agricul
tural Fair Association will bo held
next Saturday In tho Association hall
at Tumalo. Whether tho fair will
.e hotter than It has been for the last
five years, tho Tuinalo residents are
unwilling to say. They will leave
that part of It to tho visitors. Groom
ing of grains, grasses, fruiu and
vegetables for tho event Is now on,
and tho assembling Is well In hand.
The Tumalo farmers expect to up
bold the enviable reputation they
havo built up for several years by
tho fine exhibits and exceptional
feeds that lmvo mado tho Tumalo
project famous, and not alono In
Contral Oregon.
A fair, however, Is only a farming
in little, tho real show being found
ry a vlclt to tho farms themselves.
o If you want to seo a community
if 76 families, nil of whom are ap
parently contented, ull of whom arc
working, and hard, too, and who
nro making good, do what n repre
sentative of Tho Dulletln did last
Saturday. Toko a trip over the pro
pel somo tlmo In compnny with Fred
N. Wallace, project manager. leave
your Jltnoy by tho road side. hunt up
tho owner of a ranch and talk shop
ith him from tils standpoint. This,
you will find, Is tho best way to get
a line on tho personnel of the pro
led and tho quality of products the
farmers are producing.
Much KxpcrlinenUiig Done.
Tho Tumalo Irrigation Project Is
illl In Its Infunt stage of develop
ment. Thero was not ono among the
17 of tho 76 farmers on the project,
whom It was pjssiblo to seo Saturday,
who did not say that he had his
ranch well In hand. Almost every
farm Is an pxperlmont station. Some
aro experimenting In dairying. Oth
ers are experimenting with n wide
variety of vegetables, grains and
grasses. One was found with 76
head of sheep, and Is trying sheep
ralslng on nn Irrigated tract. Still
r.nother was using a large part of
tho products of his farm for fatten
ing hogs for the market. Not a few
are trying dry farming on an Indi
cation project. Thoro Is a spirit of
cooperation in this experimentation
work which Is not to be found in
vory community. If one farmer finds
that he is successful with a certain
Tarloty of grain, grass or vegetable
ho communicates the fact to one or
hi neighbors that he may also give
U a trial. In this way the Tumalo
farmers hope soon to arrive at con
clusions as to what crops aro most
cdapted to the conditions of the prd-
Dairying Is Popular.
If the present trend of develop
ment Ic carried to Its conclusion the
Tumalo Irrigation Project will be
como tho dairy center of central Or
egon. Every encouragement possl
ale Is given tho ranchers on the
email farms to stock up with a few
heed of cows. Tdany of tho ranchers
already have done this, and those
who are having success on a small
scale are doing their best to Increase
their herds with better breeds. One
or the greatest obstacles In the way
of r. more rapid aflvanca along this
line, according to Mr. Wallace, Is the
lack of funds vlih which to make
purchases of high grrde dairy stock.
As yet the annual surplus cash among
the Tumalo farmers Is not sufficient
to enable them to make such addi
tions, hut they see a ray of hope In
the recsntly enacted Rural Credits

of August Thero arc, "jowever, tnrny

13 acres of outs under the ditch
which will average 75 bushels to the
acre, and 14 acres In wheat which
will yield at least 30 bushels to the
acre- The Anderson brothers have
60 Acres la wheat the, wU cut fully
two tons to the cere, and 10 acres
which they will thresh that will yield
easily 30 bushels to the acre. On
100 acres they cut 165 tons of clover,
end 150 tons of alfalfa on 60 acres
under Irrigation. A. McAllister says
he has 35 acres In wheat that will
yield at lesit 40 bushels to the acre
and 50 acres In rye that will yield
between 15 and 20 bushels to the
acre.
John-son Has Dairy Ranch.
Hans A. Johnson has one of the
most favorably situated farms on the
'elect. His ranch Is located near
the south end of the project and Is
comparatively free from the late
spring and the early fall frosts. Mr.
and Mrs. Johnson took up their farm
10 years ago, starting out with one
cow and a dozen chickens. Today
they have SO ncres In their farm, a
largo part of which is under cultiva
tion, Mr. Johnson Is among the
farms who nro going Into the dairy
business, believing that It pays him
bettor to food his nltalfa and grain
on his farm than to sell It. He milks
eight cows, sells the cream to the
Co-operative Creamery nt Dend and
received monthly nn $80 cream
check. Mr. Johnson Intonds to bet
tor his herd with high-grade stock as
soon as he Is able. Mr. and Mrs.
Johnson do most of the work on their
farm themselves, employing n farm
hand only during the harvest season.
The Johnson home 1st modern
throughout.
Anilcixm's Crop llcniy.
'Fred and Ktnll Anderson, who, ac
cording to Mr. Wallace, started on
the project with practically no funds,
have built up one of tho finest
ranches on tho project. They have
under their control about 250 acres
of which 200 acres Is In crop this
year. Together with farming the
Anderson Urothers have a sawmill,
which has been operating steadily for
the last yeur under the management
of Fred Anderson, The Anderson
home Is modern, equipped with mud
em plumbing. They expect soon to
Install an electric light plant.
, Although 73 years old, J. W. Hen
derson puts in longer hours on his
133-acre farm than many farmers
many years younger. Up pt 3 o'clock
Saturday morning, Mr. Henderson
had most of his Irrigating done be
fore ho ate his breakfast. Uveal year
Mr. Henderson's potato crop brought
him enough to pay tho expenses of
his farm. The second crop of straw
berries was being picked Inst Satur
day on the Henderson ranch.
J. J, Cocn Is another of the Tuma
lo farmers who Is working toward
dairying as a leader for ills ranch.
At the present he has only two cows,
but next year he expects to Increase
his herd to seven nid cuter more ex
tensively Into tho dairy end of farm
ing. Mr. Coen reports that his first
cutting of nlfulfa this year was as
hoavy us two cuttings last year.
W. E. Sandel has stock ralslpg as
n side line on his ranch. During the
summer months ho runs n large
number of stock cattle In the Des
chutes Nutlonal Forest, and In the
winter he hikes them up for feeding
and fattening on his ranch. As fine
a crop of oats ns anyone would want
to see may be found on tho Sandel
ranch this year. Mr. Sandel believes
there Is high feeding value In alfalfa
grown on the Tuninlo project.
G. W. Snyder, who has 40 acres
under lrrlgutlon, will also entor more
extensively Into tho dairy feature. At
present he milks five cows, which he
says brings him from $S to 10 per
month apiece.
A. McAllister Is one of the few dry
farmers on the project, and he Is
also ono of the farnmrj who believes
that the dairy end on smnll Irrigated
tracts will pay. Mr, McAllister has
10 cows, which brlu? htm approxi
mately $100 monthly. Mr. McAllister

and rye, of which be hns approxi
mately 100 acres this year.

Ray learned that great results were
being obtained with rosin rye. so he
sent to tho Michigan Apr'?ulturnl
college and obtained two biikuels of
teed rye ns u sample. Tills vurloty
of rye Is primarily for fall sowing,
Mr. Ru did not sow his sample un
til spring, but he says that It will
yield betweon 15 and IS hiuhels, and
ought to yield 25 to 30 bushels per
acre If sown In the full. Samples
of this year's crop wero taken by Mr.
Ray to Hem! and examined liy A. J,
Kronen, of the Ilcnd Flour Mill Co.,
who passed upon It fnvorahl).

C. P. Decker belloves In diversified
farming. The Decker ranch is a ver
itable experiment farm. Mr. Hacker
hus 40 aerej In his ranch, of which
37 nre under Irrigation, over which
Is distributed a wide rango af prod
ucts. Mr. Decker has gone quite ex
tensively Into be culture. He now
has 34 colonies, of which 16 are new.
In garden truck Mr, Decker believes
thoroughly In experimenting. He
has several varieties of potatoes
which be Is trying out this year to
ascertain which variety Is the best
for his locality. A second crop of
strawberries Is now coming on the
Decker ranch and he expects to have
a creditable exhibit for the fair on
Saturday.
O, II. Norcott, of the Mountain
View ranch, has one of the finest al
falfa crops on the project this year.
The crop this yoar will go between
two and four tons per acre.
Peter Jenson Is a bachelor. He
came upon tbe project six years ago
when the south end of the project
was In the raw. He set to work to
clear his 40 acres of trees. He took
1,150 trees off the property before
it was ready for plowing and seeding.
Ho did this work ail alone. He also
built more than half a mile of flume.
Mr. Jensen believes that Irrigation
by flume is better than by ditches In
that tbe water can be more oventy
distributed.
J, W. llrown Is Intensive Former.
J. W, Drown Is another of tbe In
tensive farmers on the project. He
has 40 acres, of which be Irrigates

Since taking over tho Ploncor sys

icy, Mr. Hullldny says, to make Its
plans for five years' growth, which
has been the effort here, and now
that the surveys are complete the
only thing to delay work Is the diffi
culty of obtaining necessary material
from the east.
It Is hoped Hint within two montliH,
however, that everything will be as

STOCK MEN OPPOSE

(Fort Rock Times.)
A number of the local stockmen
are opposed to the plan of the For
est Service In designating Ranger
Hnrrlmnn's district ns a sheep re
serve which has been the plan.
There nre 280,000 acres In Mr. Har
rlmMii's district which is known as
the Fort Rock District nnd though It
Includes some extra good range, very
little of It Is being used at the pres
ent time because of the lack of
water. Certain sheepmen have off
ered to pay for the drilling or u well
If they are given a leuse on the ter
ritory. The stockmen residing adjacent
to this land oppose this plan ns It
naturally Is very harmful to their
range. Since the Forest Service
would rather see the local people
get first choice lu the matter. Sup
ervisor Hastings has suggested that
the stockmen organize, form an as
sociation, and If they care to pay for
the drilling of a well and pay tho
regular pasture feu, they will be
given preference.
Mr. Hastings has stated that ho
will be able to meet with tbe stock
men any time betweon the ICth and

matter more thoroughly with them.
