Small Experiment Farm

The Pullman Tribune announce
that an interesting experiment in
small farming is to be conducted il
that section OF the Palouse country.
1t is planned to establish a model
ten-acre farm and make it profit
payer from the beginning. The work
is under the supervision of the indus
trial agent of the Spokane & Inland
Railway Company. The little farm
will be stocked with poultry and
planted to fruits and diversified
crops No irrigation is contemplated
in the plans for this detrimental
tract. The live stock wiz consist of
one horse, one cowand 100 hens. It
is estimated that the income for the
first year will be 5000.
Diversified agriculture has passed
the experimental stage in most sec
tons Of our country. 1t has merely
made a beginning in the wheat grow
ing district of Eastern Washing ton.
But the building of an electric rail-
road to connect the fields with the
city promises to change old agricul-
tural conditions. The transportation
company desires to get as many
landholders along its line as posi-
Bile. Every family has a cash valu-
alton to the railroad in the increased

IT,RLG3TE BIG
TRACT OF LAMB

When it is stated that the national
government is constructing irriga-
tion systems that when completed
will irrigate a total of 3,19S, 000
acres, one is impressed by the magni-
tude Of the figures, but to gain a
really adequate conception of what
tbs addition of these acres to the
productive agricultural area Of the
country means, it must be consid-
cred from the standpoint of produc-
ton and possible population.
Irrigated farms are, as rule,
small The ready command of
water not only insures against
drought, but it enables the farmer to
practice a more intensive form o.
agriculture and to secure a larger
return from his land. Because of
this fact a less number Of irrigated
acres is necessary to the support of
family and the creation of com
Portable bank account.
In the Sacramento valley, in Cali
fornia, where the next session of the
national irrigation congress will be
held, the average size of an irrigated
farm, as shown by the last census,
is about 90 acres. Adopting this as
a unit it is found that the area which
Uncle Sam proposes to irrigate will
subdivide into a total of 1876, 400
farms, enough to supply very con-
siderable number of farmers with
comfortable homes.

Dave After Berries.

David \. Gellatly, secretary of the
Wenatchee Commercial club, was
around town and the Vale Monday
looking for a crate of strawberfies
for exhibition purposes at the clull
room in Wenatchee. He interviewed
A. S. Burbank, president of the
Cashmere Commercial club, and
found what he was in search of. Our
club will ship him crate Of fruit
grown in the Vale of Cashmere, and
we venture TO say that it will be
an exhibit that will be hard to beat.
