they are productive and require a
small expenditure, in comparison with
many other sections, to make them
capable of producing heavy crops.
Markets are near at hand; each coun-
ty is busily engaged in building the
finest highways in the land; timber
for making lumber can be had readily,
as we'll as fuel. Where the natural
rainfall is insufficient the land is be-
ing furrowed by numerous irrigation
bitches. Schools and churches are to
be found in every community. Crop
failures are unknown and good price
for all classes of produce may be had
throughout the year. Such being the
conditions, need one wonder that the
northwest is making a remarkable
growth?

New IRRIGATION Law Needed.

New Irrigation Law Needed.
At Walla Walla recently the Wash
ingtOn and Oregon irrigation commits
sions held joint meeting to consider
matters of paramount interest to the
irrigation industry in both states. AS
a result of the meeting the Washing
ton commission will suggest to the
next legislature the passage of sys-
TEN of laws governing the control and
distribution of water in irrigation dis
tricts of the state. The meeting
brought out some very interesting dis
cussion involving the legal questions
that will be encountered in the pass
age of such law. Engineer Ross, of
Idaho, who is in charge of the irriga-
ton work in progress there, was pres
ent, and explained the workings of
the new Idaho law, which he recon-
mended for passage in Washington
and Oregon. That law, he said, had
been tested in the courts and it's con-
stitutionality established. 1t deter
mines the quantity of water one is
entitled to use, and other valuable
points. The Washington commission
is lending it's best efforts to the work
of making it possible to irrigate
large area of land in the Palouse Sec
tion. The fact that the o. r. & N. Co.
has relaid it's railroad up the Wash
tucna coulee prevents the state from
carrying out the plans as it wants to,
in conjunction with the federal gov
ernment's work. If the railway COM
pany can be convinced that it is to
it's interest, as well as to the interest
of all concerned, to allow the use of
the coulee for storage reservoir, 2O0,-
900 acres of good land in the Snake
river country can be opened up. The
government is working on a plan to
redeem land in the Big Bend country,
but it is a big enterprise, one that
involves years of hard work and an
enormous expenditure of money. Men
are also working in Okanogan county,
and it is possible that some good may
be accomplished there.
If the state were permitted to enter
into contracts with corporations to
water the eastern part of Yakima coun-
ty, the state could dispose of a suffi-
cient amount of land to store all of
the surplus water that is needed to
supply that territory with sufficient
water to irrigate about all of the irri-
gable land that can be reached by
bitches. OF the 100000 acres of arid
act of congress we have selected $4,000
acres, which is situated in the eastern
part of Yakima county. 1t is all good
land, and when reclaimed will add
just that much more to the resources
of the state.
By the above it will be readily seen
that the irrigation commission has a
large amount of important work to
carry out, and could do still more. But
at almost every turn the commission
is hampered by the lack of proper
legislation on the subject. 1t is to be
hoped the next legislature will pass
a law or a set of laws that will fully
cover every phase involved, thus en-
abling the state to acquire an elabo-
rate and permanent system of irri-
cation.

not anxious to sell their wheat and
other produce that can be kept
while. While some people may ques-
ton their wisdom in refusing offers OF
good figures for what they have to sell,
no one can fail to rejoice with them
over the fact that they have money in
the bank and are not forced to sell.
Having money in the bank and wheat
that is wanted by the millers, they feel
safe in doing little specializing
themselves on a market that is climb
ing from day to day. If a waiting
policy brings them a few cents more
bushel for their grain everyone will
be glad, and if the market goes down
the feeling of regret will be lessened
by the thought that the price is still
good
The Portland Oregonian singles out
the Willamette valley farmer who, as
rule, is long on business judgment
as indicated by his adoption of diversi-
fed farming in the last few years.
Wheat is no longer the sole depend
ence of the sturdy agriculturists who
till the farms that were first brought
under cultivation many years ago.
Experience taught the need of rota-
ton of crops in order to maintain fer
tility, and as they have abandoned in
some degree the raising of wheat they
have taken up dairying, fruit growing,
stock raising, etc., thus providing
more than one source OF income and
rendering themselves less subject to
losses occasioned by poor crops or low
prices. The paper goes on to show
how we'll posted on the markets and
other subjects affecting them are the
Willamette valley farmers. The Wal
do Hill farmers at Rock Point few
days ago beat the grain buyers neatly
and made money thereby. They had
pooled their wheat and offered it all
to the highest bidder The first open
ing of bids showed the best offer to
be three cents a bushel below the
Portland quotation, and all bids were
rejected, the buyers being notified that
bids would be received again three
days later. At the appointed time the
bids were opened and the pool sold at
the highest figure, sou cents, or prac-
tically the Portland quotation on that
day.
The farmers were able to exact this
price from the millers because Of two
things: Diversified farming has made
the supply of wheat in the valley less
than the demand from the mills, and
by pooling their crop the farmers COM
PEELED the millers to pay the price or
import their grain. Only few years
ago these Waldo Hill farmers were
getting 10 cents bushel less for
their grain than was paid in Portland.
Now, by concerted action, they compel
the mills to pay almost as much as
the same wheat would bring after be-
ing sacked, stored and shipped to
Portland

A Little About Ourselves.

The Ranch today greets its thous-
ands of readers with larger paper
than usual-more than the number OF
pages of the regular edition. The cur
rent number is devoted largely to spe-
cial matter contributed by some of the
leading men and women in their re-
spective lines. Their articles are full
of good sound common sense, and The
Ranch commends them to the careful
attention of it's readers. The adver-
tisements, too, should have careful
reading-every one of them. They all
represent business men and business
houses of the highest standing in their
respective communities, and those
who have dealings with any OF them
are assured of honest treatment.
Some of the advertisers in this special
fair number do not intend to appear
again in The Ranch for the present, so
it behooves every one who gets copy
of the paper to preserve that copy. 1t
will be valuable in the future for refer
ence, both in regard to its many spe-
cial articles and for the large number
of patrons who are liberal users of
space herein.
To the many fair visitors who will
receive a copy of The Ranch for the
first time the publishers wish to state
the regular features of the paper have
been largely curtailed, owing to lack
of room. The Ranch devotes much
space in each issue to horticulture,
field work, dairying, poultry, livestock
and the household, besides having a
column in which are treated legal
questions of interest to it's readers,
opd q oO1l1mp in which readers detail
their own experiences is also main
tanned. Each department is edited by
men and women who are themselves
experienced in the various lines. The
matter in The Ranch is adapted to az
ricultural conditions in the great
northwest, which alone is sufficient
reason why The Ranch should be in
the home of every one in the north
west at all interested in agriculture.
The subscription price is only half
dollar for twenty-four numbers, but
the paper is worth many times that to
each reader.

der the circumstances this may be all
right, but we do not approve of max
ing too great a reduction in the num-
Der of COWS. The time will soon
come when the farmers will wish thai
they had not sold them. The danger
now is that too little thought will be
given to the matter of culling out the
poorest mixers and disposing OF them,
keeping the best under any circum-
stances. Those who fail to use prop
er discrimination in the matter now
will be sorry later on.

Prosperous and Attractive Country.

Prosperous and Attractive Country.
Every citizen of the great north
west, who looks at the question from
the right point of view, admits that
the country is in most prosperous
condition today, and we are entering
a season that will be most busy one
in all lines. The year 1904 has been
a good one for the farmer, the horti-
culturist, the stock raiser, the dairy
man and all producers in general. The
yields and the prices for products
have been good, on the whole, though
in some cases better prices could have
been wished for as in the case OF but
ter. The farmer of the northwest has
money laid by and his farm, as gen.
eral thing, is free from heavy incum-
ORANGES. Our rural people have
worked hard in years gone by, hewing
homes out of the forest or wrestling
them from the sage brush lands, and
they are entitled to all the prosperity
that has been visited upon them.
Many of them have laid the founda-
ton for a good competency in the
near future, by starting right in the
beginning and adhering to rigid econ
omy and avoiding debts to the fullest
extent possible. The soil in our Sec
ton of the country is most productive
and climatic conditions are such that
disturbing elements are not visited up
on our land. These things have at
tracted and are still attracting num-
bers of people from the east-people
who want to grow up among surround
ings and in country more congenial
to them than they found them in their
old homes back east, not to mention
the greater opportunities we possess
for making money and acquiring prop
erty. AS result the northwest is
rapidly filling up with sturdy and
desirable class of land tillers and bid
ding fair to become the greatest and
most productive section of the coun-
try.
Thus does the development of the
northwest proceed. Lands here are
to be had at very reasonable figures;
