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.
