UMAIILLA'S RICHVALLEY A crop census of the Umatilla Pro ject In Oregon has just been com piled by the Reclamation Service. The report is exceedingly gratifying in that it furnishes abundant evi dence of substantial progress on the part of the settlers. Owing to the numerous natural obstacles in the way of light sandy and blowing soils, rough topography and lack of exper ience on the part of many farmers. the settlers have had many iliilicul ties to overcome. During the first few years progress was slow and many were discouraged. The latest report of farm conditions on the pro ject is encouraging as evidencing a better undemanding of the require ments, with results which prove the actual merit of tills section as a pro ducer of valuable crops. Summariz ing the report the following statistics are of special interest. In 1915 the total area irrigated was 5,306 acres, of which 1,060 acres were in young orchards, and 416 acres in new alfalfa. Approxi mately 3,603 acres produced crops valued at $104,653, or an average gross return of $2904 per acre. The total area irrigated increased 104 acres, while the increase in value of all crops was $35,725. During the year the largest acre age cropped was In alfalfa, which produced $76,767 from 2,396 acres, or $30.78 per acre. The average gross returns per acre from other im portant crops were as follows: On ions, $141; potatoes, $65.57; garden $95.59; melons, $55.07; small fruits, $50.12; clover seed, $43.75; clover hay, $27. 5s; Indian corn, $31.81; sorghum, $32.12; wheat, $23.11; miscellaneous, $37.49. The Umatilla Project now contains 306 Irrigated farmB, On these the equipment is valued at $52,677. An inventory of live stock shows the fol lowing: On December 31, 683 hor ses valued at $58,834, 42 mules, $4, 745; 765 dairy cattle, $44,217; 253 beef cattle, $7",041; 113 sheep, $580; 1,862 hogs, $13,202; 11,608 fowls, $6,876; bees, hives, 773, valued at $3,077. Total value all stock, $138,' 522, or $1,959 per farm.
