Where tho water nupply U limited,

may bo grown to perfection. Two
(and In favored sections "ireo) crops
nro cut each year, and after tbe last
Inn vest t1") vigorous growths penult

Tho Klamath section will rival
onBtern Washington nnd Oregon In
wheat prodtictlou, both In quality and
quantity. Land well cultivated and
with plenty of wnter jlelds fifty bush
els of wheat to tbo acre, while dry
farming secures from twelve to twon
ty bushels. Tho avorago, under fav
orablo water conditions, should be
thlrty-flvo bushels to tbe aero.
Oats yield per aero, wltb dry (arm
ing, from twonty-flvo to thirty bush
els; on Irrlgatod land, sixty bushels;
and with exceptionally favorable con
ditions, nlmost a hundred. Darloy
yields, on dry land, twonty-Qvo bush-
ols per ncro, which Is always doubled
and often treblod on properly Irri
gated land. Rye also grows well, and
peculiarly enough Is often dry (armed
m.ahny or-roughage crop (or stock.
Applo raising will prove a profit
nhlo occupation In tho uplands. Peart,
Plums, prunes and cherries do well,
whllo In fnvorud locations moat ex
cellent peaches mny ho raised; but
cure must bo tttken by planting lato
bloomlng, hardy varieties of all these
fruits, bocnuso of lato frosts.
Tbo ovldenco of what small fruits
will do is found in tho wealth ot wild
berries. All tho berries may be
grown to great advnntngo as soon as
a mnrkct becomes available.
The richness of tho soil and tbe
orio with which it la worked mako
tho Klamath section a vast potential
garden, lluru, with Irrigation, Inten
sive cultivation will ho widely prac
ticed. Tho careful cultivation that
makis land In nectlons ot Southern
California, tbo San Joaquin, Sacra
mento, Santa Clara, Pajaro, Arroyo
Ornndo and other California valloys
worth hundreds ot dollars per aero
will prodticu tho same result here.
Tho Klamath ilasln Is already a
great native pasture-land, and when
are added alfalfa, clover, etc., It ""111
bo an unexcelled dairy country. At
present cattlo and sheep occupy tho
Holds. There aru many Ilerefords
and somo Shorthorns, Dovons and
Gallowajs. Uut with tho coming of
easy transportation will romo the day
of tho moro profitable milch cow
tho day of tho Holstcln and Jersey.
Thu Klamath Ilasln is full ot flno
horses.
Well adapted to hog raising, tho
pig has been almost totally neglected
In tbe Klamath region, yet with dis
ease unknown and crops and climate
naturally adapted to his needs, be
will later become one of tho most Im
portant of Its commercial factors.
Poultry raising awaits but transpor
tation to mako It of Inrge propor

with a local demand far In excess of
the supply.
