Tho work of County Agent Thom
as during tho past year has been
productive of such satisfactory re
sults, that Tho Herald has mado a
survey of it and tho result of tho
Investigation reveals tho following
facts:
Work has been carried on with
out any organized assistance back
of It. Much more could havo been
accomplished had thero been an or
ganization such as Is contemplated
in tho County Farm Bureau.
Tho major part of tho work has
been put on threo projects, namely,
squirrel eradication, grasshopper
eradication and Introducing sulphur
for alfalfa.
Results of squirrel eradication
campaign: Tho county court adopt
ed tho now state law providing for
means for eradicating the squirrols
nnd other rodent pests on non-resident
land, etc. Approved formula
tor mixing squirrel poison was fur
nished and sufficient strychnine dis
tributed for mixing 5,700 quarts of
poisoned grain, nearly halt of which
was mixed and distributed through
tiro county agent's office. Thero was
sufficient for nearly 400,000 baits,
and, estimating that half as many
squirrels wcro killed as baits, would
mean tho destruction of at least
200,000 squirrels In tho county. A
vory consorvattvo estimate of the
damage one squirrel will do In a
season has been placed by a number
of investigators at 75 cents. Much
gonoral Intorcst has been aroused
in the matter and many people are
looking forward towards a much
more comprehensive campaign an
other year.
Grasshoppor campaign. More
than 30,000 pounds of poisoned
bran and sawdust were used in fight
ing grasshoppors ,tho work being
carried on In six difforent communi
ties. Tho total estimnto mado by
I tho people of tho various communi
ties of tho ucreago of crops pro
tected In theso districts is 11,000
acres. Considering that had the
campaign against tho grasshoppors
not boon enrried on they would havo
idono 'damage amounting to at least
$5.00 an aero on this acreage,, this
means a saving to tho county of
JGIi.OOO. Tho total cost of tho ma
terial ' used was approximately
?1,000.
Ilosults of tho sulphur campaign.
Through publicity given to tho re
sults being obtained by tho fow who
applied sulphur last year.a pool or
der amounting to 1SS.100 pounds
has boon ordered. This is sufficient
for a llttlo ovor 1800 acres of al
falfa. TJio avorago Increase observ-
I ed on somo six fields where sul
phur had boon applied was tnree
quartor,tons por acre for the
soason. On this basis it means that
tho 1800 acres which will havo tho
sulphur applied this coming year
should produce ovor 3000 tons of
' Virtr nlmvn wlinfr fniilr1 lin nvnontoil
without tho sulphur. This 3000
tons of hay at $1C per ton would
mean tho' adding of ?4fi,000 to the
crop returns of Klamath county an
othor year. In addition to this, tho
exporimonts show that tho Increase
duo'to tho uso of sulphur will con
tinuo for two or threo years longer.

L. Hollltlny for 00,000 New
On nor will extend Irrigation Sys
tem to Larger Alfalfa Acreage
Ono of tho largest deals in farm
ing property on tho west side of
Klamath river that has been con
summated In years was closed today
when the H. H. Van Valkenburg
ranch, consisting of 1,400 acres, was
purchased by C. L. Holllday, the
consideration being approximately
$60,000. Over 500 acres of this
tract is under a private irrigation
system, 300 being already in alfalfa.
Most of the land lying abovo tho
present irrigatioii system is suscop
tiblo of reclamation.
This property Is well known In
this section, as being one of the fine
st ranch properties in the county.
It Ib, located four miles from this
city,- and extends from the foothills
own to the water's edg'o of the
Klamath river. The soil is deep, ex
tremely rich, free from alkali and
exceptionally well drained. One of
tho best private Irrigation systems
in. tho county has Just been com
pleted, the water being pumped onto
the land by a centrifugal electric
pump, the power 'for which Is fur
nished by the Kerns brothers' pow
er plant.
Tho now owner came to this coun
ty nine years ago. At that time he
secured a lease on the well-known
Ralston ranch in Langell valley.
Four years ago he erected a modern
cheese factory and since that time
has been manufacturing a quality
of cheese that has helped materi
ally to spread tho fame of Klamath
county cheese beyond the bounda
ries of tho county. This ranch was
rocently purchased by Ivan Kllgoro,
and It boicame necessary for Mr,.
Holllday to find other property. Ho
had long 'been contemplating a
change and with that end In view
ho carried on a quiet investigation
which led him to make Mr. Van
Valkenburg an,qffer for his prop
erty, resulting In tho sale which was
finished today.--
Mr. Holllday Is going lo move all
If his equipment arid dairy stock!
consisting of ono hundred head ot
splendid dairy cattle, to his new lo
cation at an early date. He will
continue to confine his labors to the
manufacture of n high grade quality
of cheese.
Next year, he Is going to increaso
his alfalfa acreage to Include all
ot tho land under the present Irri
gation system. Later he will Install
additional pumping capacity and put
tho Vator on the higher land, his
Intention being to hrlng as much of
the 1400 acres under intensive cul
tivation as possible.
This transaction does not include
tho 300 acres that Mr. Van Valken
burg owns farther south on tho
Keno road.
