'Scribbler" Letter
Springdale Ranch, Wash.

March rs, 1906.
I manage to have a good time every
where, and am making the best Of it here
also. The weather is beautiful and the
spring work is coming to close. There is
some anxiety as to the condition of the grain
seeded before the recent cold SPELL
One thing that an inhabitant of Norway
Lake misses here is the churches. People
out here have something else to do than to
dot the country with church steep1es. One
can drive over the country from morning till
night without seeing church. The people
are satisfied with the churches at the sta
lions along the railroads.
will in this article briefly mention only
three farmers. A Mr.. Mayer, three miles
northwest of here, is putting in 1 800 acres.
He has a fine farm, we'll equipped with
houses, machinery and horses. J. w. Ing1es,
four miles east of here, is accompanied
wherever he goes by ten dogs of ten different
fu1l-blood breeds, some Of which cost him
$50. After viewing the situation for a while
I said, ut would not be wise for this m an to
enter into Jerico doorway Lake,, and it may
be that when this country gets civilized he
will have to spend lots of his time going
around to the neighbors to bury dogs"
After sizing him UP I took him for profess
sional trapper and hunter, and formed the
opinion that he would not be competent to
run 4O-acre farm. But found to my sur
prise that he has 800 acres to put in. The
third man will mention is Luther P. Tur-

ner, near Harrington. The section of the
Big Bend country known as the Harrington
wheat belt has been aptly termed THE Cali
fornia farming district of w ashington." In
no other part Of the west perhaps with
the exception Of the Sacramento and the
San Joaquin valleys'in California, is farming
done on such an immense scale. Few fairly
realize the magnitude of the farming opera
tions of the Harrington wheat belt, so
recently has the region been transformed
from the vast stock range stretching as far
as the eye could see, and considered by the
majority of those who saw it as fit for moth
ing else, into one of the richest wheat-grow-
ing setions of the world. And with this
transformation has come almost uncon-
sciously the California method of farming
that is, doing everything on large scale
and wherever possible making the horses
and mules do as much of the work as posi-
b1e In fact, the rule is to make one man
manage as many horses and mules as he
possibly can, and farm hand who cannot
drive eight to fourteen head Of stock in one
team might as well not apply for work, for
if he is taken on he will find to his sorrow
that he cannot fill the bill and must step
aside for some one who can. Perhaps on no
farm in this section is the work done on a
more extensive scale and so much land sue
cessful1y cultivated as by Mr.. Turner, the
wheat king Of the Harrington wheat belt.
Mr.. Turner, who now pays more taxes than
any other m ian in Lincoln county, came here
few years ago poor man. He began
farming on small scale, and as fast as he
accumulated a few hundred dollars he
invested it in land, until today he is one Of
the largest individualland owners in eastern
Washington, having g, 800 acres in wheat,

practically all in one body lying within a
few miles of Harrington and valued at the
present prices at $263, 800. Add to this the
value of the stock and implements necessary
to farm such tract of land, and which in
this instance are the best that money can
buy, and Mr.. Turner is easily worth $685.
600, exclusive of town property bank stock
and other assets which he has accumulated
while engaged in farming. Spring work is
now in full blast at Turner's place. and the
magnitude would prove a revelation to the
farmers of the central and eastern states
About 200 head of work horses are required
to plow the ground and put in the crop
The plows used are those known as the
Bonanza gang, each having four ten-inch
plows and drawn by eight or ten horses
Thus forty inches Of ground are turned over
at each round with the p1ow, and as several
dozen of these strung out in a line an
ordinary farm is put in condition for seeding
each day. In this section the farmers use
what is known as the summer fallow system
that is, they let one half of the land rest
each year and farm the other half. The land
thus left idle is plowed and thoroly cult
waited and thus put in condition for a crop
the next year. Following up this system
Mr.. Turner has about 1900 acres Of wheat
each year, which at an average crop of 80
bushels to the acre (and his crop last year ran
considerably better than that gives him
about 80 900 bushels of wheat to m arket each
year. The prevailing price being about 65
cents per bushel brings in round numbers
about $5s,5oo for his crop. Besides the
equipment above mentioned Mr.. Turner has
dozen or more headers for harvesting his
crop and big steam threshing outfit He
has during the past few days bought two
big new combined harvesters and states,that
he will give them a fair trial this season.
These machines do the cutting and thresh-
ing at the same time, and are run by 80
horses. Common wagon boxes and COM
mon two bushel sacks are not known here.
Regular dray racks 6 feet long and gunny
sacks sewed up and delivered with the grain
are used. Farmers are apparently all doing
well, but nothing is done in eastern style:
