The result OF the analysis OF
some of our Harney Valley soil is
very gratifying as it shows that
practically every acre will produce
profitable crops. While it may
not all be adaped Tin its wild state)
to the growing Of cereals, that
portion can be utilized most pro-
fitable in the growing Of sugar
beets and other root crops which
are equally as important as the
cereals. The Harney Country is
certainly blessed with such advan-
tages and having a soil particular.
ly capable Of retaining moisture.
1t should also be remembered that
the samples tested were taken
from the vicinity Of the lakes
where the wash is more ooneen-
trated than any other portion Of
the valley. Samples Of soil from
the upper part of the valley or
nearer the foct hills would show
to a much better advantage,
