Tho richness of the soil and the case with which It Is worked make tho Klamath section a vast potential garden. 'Hero, with Irrigation, Inten sive cultivation will bo widely prac ticed. Tho careful cultivation that makes land In sections ot Southern California, tbo San Joaquin, Bacra- mento, Santa Clara, Pajaro, Arroyo Orandu and other California valleys worth hundreds ot dollars per acre wilt produce tho same result bore. Tho Klamath Oasln is already a great native pasturo-land, and wben aro added alfalfa, clover, etc., It wilt bo an unexcelled dairy country. At present cattle and sbeep occupy tbe fields. There are many Hereford and some Shorthorns, Oevons and Galloways. But with tho coming of ea;y transportation will come tbo day of the more profitable milch cow tho day of the Holsteln and Jersey. Tho Klamath Basin Is full of flno horses. Well adapted to hog raising, the pig bas been almost totally neglected In the Klamath region, yet with dis ease unknown and crops and climate naturally adapted to his needs, ba will later becomo ono ot tbe most Im portant of Its commercial factors.

Tho latter, thu most Impoititnt, has for Its prluclpnl wa ter utipply Upper Klamath Lake, thu largest uavlgablu body of fresh water lu the West. Tbo supply taken from It w 111 lessen thu alio of Lluk ltlver. Its outlet, but will not affoct the vol ume of uatui1 lu tho lake Itself. The topography of tho laud Is such that tiiu witter from tho Inko can bo dis tributed over a largo uioa by giavlty, Clear Lake, In California, Is tbe sourco.of tho uppor project. It will bocomo a reservoir, and Its outlot, Lost River, diverted Into tho Klamath Hlvor and auporsoded largoly ns a water carrier by an Irrigation canal. This oddest ot streams, "meandering with a maiy motion," attor Mowing aimlessly a hundred mllos, arrives within six miles ot Us uourco and flnnllv sinks in Tulo Lako. Tulo LnUe. it broad shoot of water, wIiojo great est depth Is about 30 foet, has no othor water supply and no outlet. With tho diversion ot Lost ltlver, It bad will be partlyreclalmed. Tbo Qovernawnt work, all told, will represent au expenditure ot 14. tOO.OOO, and this lvoitmont Is plao- urn lu u class by themselves lu rich uei. 'I ho noils aro fieu from gumbo and ndobu characteristics, ery easy to work, without stones, ami do not bake easily, lu a tow localities patch es of alkali may bo found, but these aru quite Infrequent and can be cared for by pioper drainage. Tho soil Is of uniformly gieat depth, and very rarely U theie hard-pan near the surface. Tho climate of the Klamath Basin Is delightful In late spring, summer and autumn and until midwinter. With Its sconlc and hunting and fish ing attractions, tho roglon Is becom ing a great summer rosort. Tbe weather is moderately warm in sum mer and not sovoroly cold in winter, t hero Is,llttlo zoro wcathor. Destruc tive storms aro unknown. Some win ters aro open without snow, but oc casionally thoro Is enough snow for sleighing. Spring plowing begins In the lattor part of February or early In March. ' March and April are rain iest months', and January Is the cold est. Very little rain falls In the sum mor, and orops may ba harvested without fear of a storm.. Tbe average number ot clear day wealthy farmers lu the Irrigated West than any other farm product, umy be grown to perfection. Two (and In favored sections "tree) crops are cut each year, and after the last harvest ibu vigorous growths permit ot pasturage for stock. Tho Klamath section will rival eastern Washington and Oregon In wheat productlou, both In quality and quantity. Land well cultivated and with plenty of water yields fifty bush els of wheat to tbe ace, 'while dry farming socuros from twelve to1 twen ty bushels.
