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.

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

corruption and crass superstition. His

and warned by prophetic signs of the
terrors of hell, he came to teach bls
people the ethical meaning of the con

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

"Good thoughts. g<ssl words, gissl
