It is all very fertile and pro-| ductive. Most of it produces well with- i out irrigation and all of it yields abun- ! dautly with irrigation. Cereals Wheat, rye, barley and oats do well here without irrigation, but of course make greater harvests if watered. Wheat here has been known to produce 65 bushels and oats 100 bushels to the acre, and the quality is unsurpassed. ■ Klamath county wheat took the prize in competition with the wheat fields of the world at the World’s Fair at New Orleans. Grasses All kinds of grasses do well here, and are pronounced by feed experts to be as nutritious as those grown anywhere I else in the world. Alfalfa takes the lead, being the principal crop of the : valley, and producing from four to eight ’ tons per acre annually. There are al- | ready about twenty thousand acres of alfalfa in the Klamath valley and easily pays ten per cent on $100 per acre.

PATTEE Manager While they are cheap and Zoroaster, the prophet of ancleut Iran, arose about the middle of the seventh century before Christ as a re former of the older creed of Persia, a primitive form of nature worship which had become debased through corruption and crass superstition. His rvrthplace Is believed to have been In die province of Azerbaijan, to the west | \ of the Caspian sea. a region abounding in volcanic mountains, hot springs, I naphtha wells and other igneous phe nomena. By Inheritance he was a mem I j tier of the eacerdotal tribe of the Magi erid by calling a forerunner of the w ise ' men from the east who worshiped ce:i furies later at the cradle In Bethlehem Inspired by ecstatic visions of heaven and warned by prophetic signs of the terrors of hell, he came to teach bls people the ethical meaning of the con filet between good and evil under the form of Ormazd and Ahriman as god and devil. Filled with the hope of nn eternal existence after the general resurrection of the dead, he sought to lead his followers to a more spiritual life and to teach them the moral sig niflcance of the motto of his faith, "Good thoughts. g<ssl words, gissl deeds," and to guide them also In prac tical ways, Inculcating the practice of agriculture, kindness to animals, es peclally the cow. habits of thrift atid Industry, together with those of bodily cleanliness and the observance of cor tain rites and ceremonies In their daily life.
