practically no ' potatoes were

were approximately 1400,000.
In 1923 total acreage planted to

Poultry tiitln KIcuMllly
Poultry and hogs are both

Turkeys have Increased ovor 100
per cent In Iho post year In the
southern part of tho county.
where conditions for production
are Ideal. Hogs are Increasing
somewhat, due to abundance of
feed and good sanitary condi
tions. Alfalfa Is the main hay crop,
with an annual production of
around (0,000 tons. Acreage
does not srary a great deal from
yoar lo year, there being about
18,000 acrea In thla crop at pres
ent. This crop is the basis of
winter feeding and also works In
the rotation system with grain
and potatoes. Thousands of tons
of wild 'hay are put up through
out the Irrigated valleys for
winter feeding of stock cattle.
Truck Gardening Nuccess.
Truck crops are grown through

for their annual shopping tour.
Ashland was then the metropolis
of southern Oregon. A four or
six horse team, drawing a' freight

the precession, winding down the

sections, across the Klamatn
basin, and on. over the Green
Springs mountains 'to 'the' Clty 6t
Ashland. After the wagon, ria-
ing in what for that day was
i.,T..rv would come the women
and children of the family In
a hack or. In cases of rare
opulence, a surrey. At Ashland,
the freight wagona would be load
ed with provisions for the main
tenance of a ranch for a year.
And the women and children
would have the time of their
lives, buying such finery and
knick-knacks as the city of Ash
land could furnish.
Pay as Beef Sold
Ashland merchants carried
the stockmen of Lake and Klam
ath counties on their books for
a year at a time. A man paid his
bills, and his buckaroos, once
a year when the beef was sold.
For this shopping trip. a
month was taken as a rule, al
though the trip could bo made,
by rushing matters. In 18 days.
The winters of 1878-80 and
1889-90 will' live long in the
memories of Klamath stockmen.
Old timers still talk of their
severity, the depth of the snow,
the extreme cold. In both years,
the holdings of Klamath stock
men were ln some cases entirely
wiped out. and hardly a man es
caped losing halt his herd. In
March of 1890. the Shook broth
ers gave halt of their remain
ing herd to Albert Walker. Jim
Taylor, and other Bly ranchers.
They could not feed them en
ough to keep them alive. There
was snow on the ground to a
depth of from slx to eight
feet. And ln March, the ther
mometer was below sero. The
Carr herd was practically wiped
out From the Steele swamp and
101 ranch, Carr was then run
ning from 6000 to 7000 cattle.
In the spring, all but 200 or 300
had died of atarvatlon and cold.
The winter had been so unusual
ly severe that every bit of hay
which the county could master
was not sufficient to keep the
stock from starving to death.
Jackson Influential Red Skin
In the nineties. Henry Jack
son was the most Influential In
dian on the reservation. Ho ran
as high as 2000 head of cuttle,
and was looked noon by tho In
dians aa their guiding light, their
"major domo." The lesser In
dians depended upon htm for
work, advice, help, both finan-
clal and otherwise. Jatkson later
! lost most of his fortune.
Charlie Horton was one of the
most Influential cattlemen ln this
country In the period between
1895 and 1906. Horton, besides
operating his ranches In this sec
tion, made regular trips through
Lake, Malheur .and Harney coun
ties In the spring, buying beet
to be marketed In the fall. These
cattle would be trailed ss tar as

would be held ln pasture until

Finally declaring1 dividends on a wealth of natural
resources which for years had needed only intelligent '
exploitation, Klamath Falls, during the past five years
has, as a consequence, experienced a rapid and substan

Bills Adverse to
Agriculture Now
Before Congress
CORVALLIS, May 10. Four
bills which If they become laws'
would seriously affect northwest
farmers are In danger of passage
by congress, warns Professor G.
R. Hyslop, chief In farm crops
here, who has sent protests to
the Oregon congressional delega
tion. These bills or amendments
would repeal the present grain
standards act now opposed by
Minnesota Interests, would place
all grain inspection ln the hands
of the federal government, and
would throttle preparation of
crop statistics and forecasts now
developed to a high degree. Re
garding the latter. Prof. Hyslop
points out that large dealers
maintain their own Information
service and that It the govern
ment market Information was not
available the farmers, country
dealers and terminal elevators
would be left without authentic
market information and would
be at the mercy of the large
operators.

Then, after a second long
drive, they would be loaded on
the cars at Montague.
Farmer Days Greater
Stockmen differ greatly ln their
estimates of the number of cattle
and sheep shipped from here now
ss compared to shipped ln the
early days. Moat of the old
timers believe that the number
was vastly greater then. How
ever, It Is pointed out by those
ln close touch with the Indus
try now, the entire output of
Lake and Harney counties came
through here before the railroad
came to Lakevlew. Where there
was one shipper tor 1500 cat
tle In those days, there are now
15 with 100, or even 100 with
15. Then, too, dairying was
unheard of ln those days. Ranch
era with thousands of head of
cattle bought wagonloads of can
ned milk. They disliked "dairy
ing." aa they called the milking
of a cow for home consumption.
It Is- believed by those who
hare seen the old times, and are
still ln close touch with the sit
uation, that there are perhaps not
more actual cattle shipped now
than ln the old days yet prior
to 1895, sheep were unknown.
Butter, cheese, even cream and
milk la now shipped out. The
total value Is vastly Increased,
It la believed.

hundreds of thousands of dol

ath real estate value. It was
found, were not ephemeral. Thla
rising city of southern Oregon
waa not a "boom" town, over
played, over publicised and over
talked. There was to be no ter
rible recession of business tide
leaving the Investor high and dry
on the shoals of business reality.
For several years. skeptics .
could hardly refrain from believ
ing that Klamath Falls and tbe
Klamath country were due tot s
severe setback a real business
undertow such aa Spokane and
other rapidly built citlea ot the
west have experienced. They t
waited and waited but to dsta
there haa been no aign ot "bad
times" In Klamath Falls. Dur-
Ing the years 192. and 1911
a low lumber market hit the Pac."
Ific northwest bard; but statis
tics bank clearings, building .
permits and the - like showed '
that Klamath Falls survived thla '
transitory lull better than any -
city of Its size in tbe northwest.
Skeptics Convinced
So. as year follows year, these '
skeptlca are becoming convinced
that perhaps these "rad times"
are a bugahoo like the old fal
lacy of business being hit during
a presidential year. They look
back over the last five years and -
see where $5,463 waa expended
each working day on new build-
Ings; they find out that the gi
gantic sum ot 8, 293,83 wss
expended during that period;
they learn that Klamath FalU .
has 23 miles ot paring, most of
which was laid during the past
five years and they are not too
blind to see that thla city Is
rapidly assuming prominence S
the new railroad center of the
west.
So It Is that confidence the
life of business haa been In

City Willingly
Meets Price of
Rapid Expansion
Before paving, before city-bean-tiful
campaigns, before building
In fact, before everything,
comes sewage facilities. It wss
this realisation that Impelled the
voters ot Klamath Falls to en
dorse a 1300,000 bond Issue to
finance the construction of trnnk
line sewage and disposal system
this spring. At a special elec
tion, the measure carried by a
substantial majority.
Klamath Falls cltlsens sudden
ly came to a realisation that there
was a price to be paid for pro
gress; that unless this price waa
paid progress would (top dead
In Its tracks. They found that In
step with development, new sew
ers, paved streets, and other mu
nicipal projects must be under
taken. It was this conception ot mu
nicipal development that waa re
flected at the polls at the sewer
bond Issue election. Cltlsens
were brought face to face with
an age-old problem:
"Do you want to pay the price)
of development?"
They do and the city' future
Is assured.
