Plateau Lands Rich in Wheat
Producing Qualities.
LARGE TRACTS EARNED
In Past Few Years Farmers Have
Been Spreading out by Buy
ing More Land--In-
Creased Acreage.

In speaking Of Morrow county and de
scribing the resources in general, anG
especially when different sections art
mentioned, the GAzETTE's New Yea
number would not be complete without
something to say of the most favored
agricultural district known as the Eight
Mile country. The name Eight Mile
originated from creek which flows into
Willow creek, eight miles from the Co.
lumbia river, and from this fact the creek
was named Eight Mile. In later years
the whole country drained by Eight Mile
creek was given the name of Eight Mile.
The Intention of this srticle is to deal
with what is known as upper Eight Mile,
which comprises that portion OF country
lying between Rhea creek on the East
and Dry Fork on the West, this territory
embracing about $50 square miles of fine
farming lands.
Farming operations were commenced
in this fertile district IN the early 8O's.
and among the pioneers Of husbsndry
can be mentioned J. II. Jones, A. B.
Stanton, Bruce Haines. A. s. Hsines and
others.
This district of plateau lands is a
great wheat country and is farmed ex-
tensively. The soil is very rich in wheat
producing qualities and consequently
the farmers are prosperous and well to
do.
Early farming was carried on with
considerable difficulty. With the first
crops, for lack of cultivation, the yields
were light, and the inroads OF squirrels
and rabbits cut deeply into the farmers
profit.
With cultivation the land has been
greatly improved, aud with the advent OF
civilization, the squirrels and rabbits
have about disappeared. Today the
farmers are growing big crops with no,
great amount OF labor compared with
other wheat growing countries. Most
OF the land is summer fallowed however,
rs many as three crops are harvested
with one blowing.

acreage in wheat. Eighteen bushels
would probably be about the average
yield on summer followed land. the grain
yielding all the way from IL to 25 bush
els per scre.
While this does not look big on paper,
like reports from other wheat districts,
whore from 40 10 80 bushels TO the acre
are reported, com mparison Of conditions
will show that the Morrow county farmers
have es great profit, after expenses are
paid, rs any place 10 the country. Farm
ing land is cheap and the lar d. are easj-
ly farmed. A farmer with one hired man
Can easily farm 500 acres. The farm era
in this district, as rule. use three bot
tom gang plows drawn by eight horees
and one outfit can pillow from six to nine
acres per day. One man can plow 500
acres IN season.
J. w. Beckett farms from $50 to $50
acres. w. r. Robson cul!ivates about
tbs same amount as Mr.. Beckett, and
among other large farmers are Luther
Huston, John and Charley Huston. G. E.
Jones, Peter Brenner, J. s. Young, D. S
Barlow and others.
In the past few years. farmers have
been spreading out by buying more land
and increasing their acreage.
Most Of the best farming lands are in
in the upper Eight Mile
country. 10 the past two years land
values have increased from 25 to so per
cent. Good improved farms are now
worth about $40 per acre. Land recent
ly sold, brought $1,000 to $500 per quar-
Ter.
Being asked as 10 the advantages
claimed for the Eight Mile country, a
pr ointment resident OF that district said
II believe that the man with small
means and who is willing to work, can
get start easier, aud can come as near
making money here ss any place in the
United States. The same amount of
energy expended here as is required in
;he East and other places, will briug
success to any man."
For many years the lack Of water has
,ss been q great handicap in the Egh.
Mile country, but this difficulty is now
being eliminated by the sinking of wells
These wells are being drilled by pro-
esional driller, aud plenty OF water is
ound at depth OF from 80 to IT'S feet.
Cne expense OF drilling these wells is
lot great.
