es of nlknll may ho found, but these
nro quite Infrequent and can bo cured
for by proper drainage. The soil Is
of uniformly groat depth, and very
rarely Is there hnrd-pan near the
Burfaco.
Tho climate of the Klamath Daslu
Is delightful In lato spring, sumnior

Where tho water supply Is limited,
sagebrush manllcH the valleys with
gruy. In tho marshlands are many
species of rushes, sodges and tules.
Tho flora of thu basin Is far above
tho average in variety, for hero meet
notthurii and southern plants, oddly

wild Llmmi, cboko-cherrtca, buckle
berries, wild gooseberries, wild cur

There aru many speclos of nutrltlvo

Tho lower hills surrounding the
basin aru covered with range grasics,
and scattered parks of Juniper, moun
tain mahogany and other arid land
shrubs. Tho higher lands aro cov
ered with regal forests of red fir,
sugar and yellow pine, and cedar.
In abundance may be grown the
cereals (excopt corn), alfalfa, var

wealthy farmers In the Irrigated
West thau any other farm product,
may bo growu to perfection. Two
(and In favored sections three) crops
nro cut each year, and after the last
harvest tho vigorous growths permit
ot pasturago for stock.
The Klamath section will rival
pastern Washington and Oregon In
wheat production, both In quality and
quantity. Land well cultivated and
with plenty of water yields fifty bush
ols of wheat to the acre, while dry
farming secure from twelve to twen
ty bushels. Tho average, under fav-
orablo water conditions, should be
thirty-five, busbel to the acre.
Oats yield per acre, with dry farm
ing, from twenty-five; to thirty bush-
ols; on Irrigated land, sixty bnshels;
and with exceptionally favorable con
ditions, almost a hundred. Barley
ylolds, on dry land, twonty-fivb bush
ols per acre,, which la always doublod
and ofton trebled on properly Irri
gated land. Rye also grows well, pd
peoullarly enough Is often dry farmed
as n hay or roughage crop for stock.
Applo raising will prove a profit
rble occupation In tho uplands. Pears,
plums, prunes and cherries do sjrell.

Tho evidence of what small fruits
will do Is found In tho wealth of wild
berries, All tho berries may be
grown to great advantage as soon as
a market becomes available.
Tho richness of tho soil and the
oaso with which It Is worked make
tho Klamath section a vast potential
gardon. Here, with Irrigation, Inten

makes land In sections of Southern
California, tho Han Joaquin, Sacra

worth hundreds of dollars per acre
will produco tho samo result here.
