LIQUOR
CHARGE
COOPS OUTLOOK
OF KLAMATH ARE
GOOD THIS YEAR
Farmers , on Reclamation
Projects Will Have Fine
Return Is Estimate
By virtue of a large demand for
their products and an exceptionally
good year for crops, water users on
tho Klamntb reclamation project
will experience a prosperous year.
Is tho opinion of tho local bureau
of reclamation and the county
agent's office.
Despite tho fact that the rainfall
ill Klamalh has been slight during
the late winter and spring, the
Link river dam has been the means
of storing of sufficient water in
Klamath lake to allow a regular
flow of water through the Irrica
tlon district during the entire
summer.
:fad there been no dam, tho snow
.. ii rs of e .rly spring would h .
nOr. bet. 3 saved for the emergency
ot a dry summer such as Klamath
is now experiencing.-
Present indications point to a
very gord alfalfa crop. Two cuts of
alfalfa tire assured and on many
Klamath basin ranches, three cuts
nro predicted. Tho market for al
falfa is particularly good owing to
the long )ierlod of dry weather In
California and good prices are as
sured farmers.
;r More Potato Acreage
Tj..G-cent laureate o po..
lato acreage over last year will also
m,ean many dollars In the pockets
of Klamath basin farmers, authori
ties point out. The demand ior
Klamath potatoes is' great and he
market price will undoubtedly guar
antee a comfortable profit to potato
producers. I ' ,
Ot tho three principal products,
grain has the poorest outlook. The
grain crop is far below normal on
irrigated land and on un irrigated
land is practically negligible.
Coupled with this fact are reports
ot n largo grain crop In Riissra
which, whon placed on the market
will lower the International market
price. '
Klnmnth will bo tha nearest
source of supply for California,
which will probably exhaust this
source before looking to other sec
tions. POSTAL TEST TO BE
