"CENTRAL POINT, Ore., Nov. 2,
1911. I have been asked by a num
ber of pebplo as to what the desert
would grow, and I tako this method
of answering all such inquiries. I
had in cultivation this year about
seven acres. Three acres in corn
made about 100 bushels of good
corn. Two acres in oats made a
HtUo oyer two tons of hay, and about
one-half aero of potatoes sold $75
worth, and used out of them all
summer and have ten sacks for seed.
1 had two-flftbB of an acre of onions
from seed. I sold $77.35 of green
onlous and $48.37 worth of dry
onions, and have eight sacks left.
"I had. ten rows of sweet corn ten
rods' long. Sold $16.80 worth of
corn.
"Sold lettuce, $2.30. I have one
fourth acre of parsnips. I hao not
dug any yet, but I think I am safe
in saying they will bring me $30.
I sold adishes $11; early turnips.
$25.75,, and hova some late ones (I
think $25 worth). I had one-half
acre of carrpts, which sold for
$28 85, and fed four hogs all sum
mer, and I feel saro In saying I will
have $40 worth in the field.
"I planted one pound beet seed
and sold $17.25, Have about ten
sacks left In the field. I had a small
patch of peas and sold $22. I had
thrpej rows of ground cherries, sold
$3.00. I sowed one 5-cont package
of early cabbage and sold $8.15. I
had ten short rows of green beans,
sold f?.05. Three rows of huckle
berries sold $2.45, and have not sold
one-halt yet,
"I had thrco rows of tomatoes, 10
yards long; sold $27.GQ. I had a
sipall patch or melons; sold $32.30.
I had eight short rows of Hubbard
squash, bold $8.30, and have 200
loft, i sold $18 worth of chickons
and sold $3C,75 worth of oggs froim
24 lions. Sold $150 worth of tur
keys, fr,oin seven hen turkeys.
"fi.Wi I have- fed a fnmlly of
eight put of this, that has not been
cqunled In those figures, so you will
bop that I have- mado about $100 per
aero and I have almost ouo acre of
berles that wcro not Jn bearing this
season, If any doubts this In
tl(q least I will maka an affidavit to
tljo same. Very truly,
"E. KELLEY."
