GROWING VARIOUS CROPS.
Big Bend Farmers Recovering From
Hard Times by Raising Seeds.

The farmers OF Eastern Washington are
beginning TO realize the benefits OF d.
vers3aed crops. TO raise which the low
price Of wheat drove them, and II. Willis
Carr. of the Land Mortgage Bank of
Northwestern America, who has just re-
turned from a trip through Douglas and
Lincoln counties, says Of conditions over
there:
Farmers are finding that fruit, stock
and diversified crops all can be raised TO
good advantage, and are now working out
of the single crop plan which they have
followed so long. The seed growers, who
have investigated this territory, say that
it cannot be excellend in any part of The
United States for the growing of seeds of
various kinds.
las an illustration of what can he done.
let me tell you of what saw on the farm
of J. W. B. Dahl, about fifteen miles
northeast OF Waterville- Mr.. Dahl is
operating farm of 500 acres. This year.
besides 200 or 300 acres of wheat and oats.
something over 100 acres was in peas.
about forty acres in beans and smaller
tracts in radish and lettuce, grown for
seed under contract with a Minneapolis
seed firm. On this place Is a thrifty
young orchard composed of various fruit
trees. besides large variety of berries
and small fruits and garden produce Mr..
Dahl has also raised this year expert
mental patches of millet, fax, vetch. al
falfa. rutabagas. turnips and several other
forage plants which are recommended by
the United States department of agricul-
ture. He finds that these yield WELL and
is satisfied that all of them can be raised
to good advantage.
Another seed firm is now arranging TO
have seeds of various kinds grown in this
district, so that the acreage will probably
be trebled the coming year, and the seed
business will, 10 great extent, supersede
grain raising, for a time at least.
The crops in eastern Douglas and west
ern Lincoln counties-in the districts sur
rounding Hartline and Almira-are light,
owing to damage done by late frosts, but
in the Big Bend country proper. the Wa
terville district, they are proving better
than was anticipated a mouth or so ago.
Wheat and oats as a general thing are
yielding well. The only poor crop in this
district is on land which was sown 10
grain on stubble without being plowed.
This was affected somewhat by the dry
season. There was raised this season
something over 900 acres of seed peas for
the Minneapolis seed firm. Some of these
have been threshed. and at the contract
prices will net the farmers from $40 to SIS
per acre over and above all expenses.
People who have never visited the Big
Bend country have no idea what crops
can be raised without irrigation and have
little idea that this country is going TO he

over which n spruce tree IA years old and
six feet in diameter had grown after the
cedar had fallen. The piece of wood was
as dry as if it had hung all winter over
the fireplace in an old New England
kitchen.
The recent discussion as to the fitness
of cedar blocks for use in street pave
ment also caused David kellogg TO rise
in defense of one of Washington staple
products. He says that cedar can be an
closed in water and mud for years and
remain dry. All one needs to do to get dry
wood for a fire in the wet forest is to cut
the bark from fallen cedar and get TO
the body of the tree. which will be found
as dry as a bone. Cedar trees have been
found buried many feet in swamps, with
other trees growing over them, and when
taken out they were dry enough to make
good kindling wood.
