BT A. E. WOOD.
PATETTB. Ida.. Julr !.-Bpc1al.)-I
have noted much on the press from many
sections of, tha United States regsrdlng
tha treat damage auatalned through Idaho
from the haavjr front! In the month of
April. Pleaea allow me to correct much of
thli. It la a fact we had heavy freeing
weather for ever! ntghta about the mid
dle of the month, and there waa a general
howl that every particle of fruit waa
mined. However, thla proved to be an er
ror and the facta are that southern Idaho
and particularly thla Payette Valley dis
trict haa an excellent fruit crop. Winter
applea, peara, prunes and apricots are good
and all we could ask: much thlntng of
fruit la necessary to save the treea from
breaking; to point of ruination.
No where In the world Is there better
fruit frown than In thia valley; no where
better flavored fruit and the . superiority
of else, color and flavor la unexcelled by
any other section.
It la the general rule for an orchard at
10 years of age to produce a car load 'or
more of' strictly fancy applea to the acre.
A car load contalna 030 boxea. . .
The farmera are now cutting, the first
crop of hay. It la good and will make from
two to five tone to the acre. Alfalfa will
be cut three times; also clover,' and timothy
twice. A field of alfalfa practically farmed
will make aeven to ten tone , to the acre a
year. A full grown horae or cow can be
kept In fine shape off the grasa from an
acre a year; thla you will note Is much
more than can be accomplished In any Of
the humid regions In Iowa or Illinois. It
rernil res from two to four acres to provide
fodder for a fully matured cow for a year.
Grata Crops Are Fine.
Our grain crops are fine, and particularly
the dry farming, owing to the unusually
heavy rains In May, which Is uncommon
In this arid country. Oar wheat usually
produces thirty to 'seventy bushels to the
vera; oats, forty to 13 to the acre; and
barley, forty to 100. All crops . are fine as
usual.
In fourteen years residence In this val
ley I have never seen a year that we did
not have good results provided man did his
part to. make good crops. - Only - once since
- this valley has been farmed haa there
been a failure In fruit and this was not a
whole failure, but so near to It that I would
not call It a crop. This speaks pretty loud
for a country, only one failure In fruit In
twenty-five- years.
There Is. a good proficient reason for the
grcst , success attained In the Fayette dis
trict and In another article later I will
give that reason.

Competition is Keen
to Get Settlers for .
. Inland Empire Lands
Stream of Emigration Again Swinging-
Back Toward States of
the Northwest. .
SPOKANE, Wash., July. l.-8pedet.
"Competition for desirable foreign settlers
never waa so keen aa It Is today, but
eventually, I believe, we shall be able to
locate many of the better clasaee of north
ern Europeans In the Northwestern and
Pacific states."
L. J. Brlcker of St. Paul, general Im
migration agent of the Northern Facinc
Railway company, said this In Spokane to
day: "For a long time the northwest had the
call on all the northern European Immi
grants, but lately the southwestern states
and territories and the Canadian northwest
have been getting the majority.
"In both those sections, however, desir
able land which can be homeeteaded la
now getting scores and deeded lands com
mand almost as high a price aa they do In
the Inland empire and throughout the Pa
cific slope country. Thla haa caused the
pendulum to start swinging back again,
and I believe that from now on we ahall
get a larger percentage of the most desir
able class of homescekera that we have of
late.
"The movement from the eastern and
mlddlewestern states should reaume with
full force Just as soon as the crop figures
of the northwest are available. I look to
the most successful and profitable harvest
in the history of the country."

ONTARIO, Ore., July .-8peclal.)
Keeping up with the development of the
arid sections of the great jiorthwest, the re
clamation of several thouand acrea of fine
ssge brush soil, will be 'brought under cul
tivation at and near Ontario, Ore., during
the coming aummer. One tract - of 10,000
acrea, all bench land, with excellent drain
age, la aasurred of Irrigation by means of
an Immense pumping station on the Snake
river.; Electric motors of 1,800 horse-power
will lift the water 101 feet, from where It
will be distributed by gravity ditches for J
a distance of thirteen miles. An estimate !
of the cost of construction placea It at (15
per acre, which' la extremely low. yet the
land that la to be watered Is equal to the
famous fruit land across the river from
Ontario on the Payette bench.
W. P. Davidson of St. Paul la behind
the proposition and the money to complete
the project Is aasured. Thla land la part of
the old Malheur and Owyhee government
project, which waa surveyed aeveral years
ago, but never carried , out. It la adapted
to apple and fruit culture and Is also Ideal
alfalfa land. For fruit growing It la the
most promising on sccount of the splendid
drainage and elevation above the valley
lands. , The major portion of the land, la
owned by several lame companies, while
Individuals own many smaller holdings.
Numerous other pumping plans have been
Installed the Inst season most of which
are electric, while a few have been oper
ated by gasoline engines. . Th unlimited
supply of water In the Snake river, together
with the hundred thousand acres of tillable
land near ' Ontario makes this point the
center of a future development that will
attract the attention of capital and after
wards the practical farmer who la looking
for a location where diversified farming
can be practiced. The Ontario Commercial
club Is now working on several propositions
that will awaken-Interest here.
ROCKY FORD, Colo., July S (Special.)
The Arkansaa valley of Colorado Is In
the midst of the harvest preparation period,
and at this time can best beveeo the ex
tent of extensive farming, and Ha applica
tion to the crops of th s section. Canta
loupes are well along In growth, and ex
perts of this - swtlon feel that the ' first
genuine Rocky Ford melons will be on
the market about the second week In
August, and from that time until the
miildle or last of September shipping will
be heavy. Last year approximately 1,500
cars of these melons were expressed from
the Rocky Ford district, and the amount
promises to be even larger thla year. Each
car represents about $500, which glvea
some Idea of the extent of tha melon In
dustry In thia section. . v
Tha augar Industry here la second to
atone, ' however, and the augar factories
for extracting augar from beets, located at
Pocky Ford, Las Animas, Holly and Bwlnk,
are being made ready for the fall cam
paigns. Tho local factory, one of those
operated by tha American Beet Sugar com
.pany, has something . like S.&O0 acrea of
beets being grown for It. and other fac
tories of, thin and other companies In the
valley are fairly well supplied with bee I
acreage, an Increase over last year.
Beet thinning la. In full, blast about the
valley, and something like $500,000 will be
distributed to field labor for handling
the beet crop of thla section. Alfalfa cut
ting of the first crop vies with beet thin
ning In field activity, and a good orop Is
being harvested. The second crop of al
falfa promisee to be a record breaker,
owing to the lata spring and water conditions.
ALBCQURQUE, N. M.. July S.-After
two years of excessive drouth Over prac
tically the whole of the dry farming region
of west Texas and New Mexico,, the New
Mexico bureau of immigration at ..Albu
querque, together with the dry farming ex
perta of the various railroads entering New
Mexico, have Just completed a dry farming
census made In order to determine ' the
exact atatus of the Industry.- Tb results
jof thla census, which . haa occupied aeveral
months,, are now eurprlslng figures. It is
shown that there are now under actual
cultivation and In crops In the New Mexico
dry farming districts a total of 718,000 acrea.
Practically thla entire acreage Is upon land
which five yeara aao. was considered Indif
ferent cattle range. The crops being pro
duced are varied, but consist chiefly of the
frijole. or native Mexican bean, which la
not only drouth reslstent, but a very profit
able crop; oats, rye, flax; sorghum cane,
mllo mass, kafflr corn, broom corn, cow
peaa, field peaa and,cotton.
Mack to Be - Developed.
The experts who made the dry farming
census are conservative men. thoroughly
familiar with rainfall and other conditions
In the new country. They estimate that in
addition to the area now under cultivation
there la a total of 17,300,000 acrea which may
be successfully cultivated by dry farming.
this area being scattered, over twenty-three
of the twenty-six counties and. varying
from 100,000 to 2,000,000 acrea to the county.
During the alx yeara beginning with 1905,
40,000 homesteada were taken up' In New
Mexico, chiefly Jn the dry farming section.
These covered a total area of S.000,000 acres.
During 1906, 1906 and 19u7 the rainfall over
the dry farming region waa, normal and
crops .were good. The homeateadera uaed
practically the same methods employed In
the rain belt; 1908 was a year of light rain
fall,, while 1909 and 1910 were years of ex
treme drouth. . During . these yeara the
homesteaders found that the rain belt
method would not' do and that they must
" iv give up meir ciaima ana seek a
livelihood In the towna. .The present aaa
aon haa opened with bountiful rainfall.
Los Molinos Ranch
Open to Colonists
Ten Thousand Acres of California
Land is Taken Up by Wealthy
Easterners.
SACRAMENTO, Cat., July J.-Specl'al.)
The purchase of the Los Moltnoa ranch
of 10.000 acrea of well Improved and well
watered land In Tehama county, California,
situated directly on the Southern Pacific
railroad, and with a steamboat landing on
the Sacramento river, by Frank Vanderllp,
president of the National City bank of New
York City, and some of his Wall street
associates and aeveral well known Pacific
roast capitalists, has caused a atlr among
people who have known the ranch for
years. It la known that the plan of the
new ownera la to cut up thia great ranch
and open It for colonisation In tracts of
from ten acres up and to make a model
colony on the great ranch. The fact that
the ranch la covered with live oak groves
makes It an Ideal place for the building of
bungalow .and for the keeping of dairy
cowa to be fed on alfalfa grown on the
ranch and of poultry and stock to be fed
on grains produced there. The fact that
oranges, lemons, apples, cherries, apricots
and 'all klnda of fruit grown in the state
are now produced oh the ranch Induced
the new ownera to take hold of this land
as suitable for their scheme of building an
Ideal colony where aame would bring
handsome Incomes to those living In same.

The dry farmera are flocking back to
their homesteada. The drouth haa taught
them the lesson of the aeml-arld west. This
year they are farming upon the moat ad
vanced prlnclplea of , the conservation of
soil moisture. During the two yeara of
extreme drouth the New Mexico officials,
the agricultural college and the railroad
experta have been busy organising farmers'
institutes, experiment societies and . in
teaching the homesteader how to. farm.
The results are apparent in the Improved
methods.
In many waya. the dry farming sections
of New . Mexico are undergoing the same
transition that occurred In western Kansas.
There la fortunately lacking in New Mexico
the boom in land values and the extensive
real estate operation which proved so dis
astrous to Kansas. The New' Mexican gov
ernment haa persistently discouraged
wholesale Immigration lato the dry farm
ing aiairicia and has urged prospective
homeaeekera to thoroughly underatand the
conditions and the methods of farming be
fore going In. The result of thla policy
baa been a steady, permanent development,
which haa established a number of thor
oughly' cultivated dry farming districts sur
rounding substantial growing towna
; The results of the present season of
normal rainfall and with improved eondl
tlona and proper methoda are being
watched with keen interest. . .
