LECTURE ON RECLAMATION
BY STATISTICIAN BLANCHARD
Work Of the Government in Developing Arid Lands OF
the West Discussed Before the National
Geographic Society.

Important projects of reclamation that
have been put forth by the Government
were described and pictured in an inter
esting manner before the National Geo
graphic Society at National Rifles Arm
DRY last night by c. J. Blanchard. sta
tistician of the reclamation service Mr..
Blanchards talk was under the subject
millions for Moisture"
The speaker said that the Govern
ment at the present time is engaged on
twenty-five important projects in the
arid West. TO make productive 3,lSS.0O
acres of lard. The cost Of this work
will approximate S6OOOO,OOO, making the
land thus reclaimed cost the Govern
ment SIS an acre-which is above the
average price for which rich, undevel-
oped land In many desirable sections Of
the West can be purchased outright at
the present time. Still. Mr.. blanchard
insisted. it was a propect well worth
while. and that amount of new tillable
territory would be we'll worth the sum
expended to the Government alone.
The lecturer pointed out that this vast
stretch of arid territory, in and on the
edges of the Great American Desert,
comprised an area equal to the total
acreage in crops in the four States or

shire, and Florida. The diversified crops.
enormous yields from irrigated lands,
and the excellent prices for all farm
products in the West warrant the as
sumption that this land will return an
nually an income larger than the farm
ers receive in the four States named.
said he. 1T is apparent that this area.
when reclaimed and put under Guilt
walton, each year will increase the value
Of the farm products Of that section
by the amount of it's original cost

$4,000 families on farms and villages and
towns. thus making room for our rap
idly growing population.
THE policy of our national reclama-
ton is broadly paternal." the speaker
continued. But il is so cOmmonsense
and businessliiIe that l wonder it was
not adopted long ago. Although strik-
ing examples have been afforded by the
work done in this line by other nations,
the United States. the most progressive
land on the globe, was tardy in seeing
the advantage Of H. The work OF recla-
nation service is scarcely five years old
at the present time, yet a wonderful
amount of good has been accomplished.
Already we have broken down the bar
riers which the great desert has so long
inteTposed to Western progress and de-
velopment, and the nations waste
places. which apparently were over
looked by God, are being placed under
subjugatiOn.'

Better Report From Fruit Districts.

A few days ago canvass was
made of the Kennewick valley to
ascertain the damage sustained from
the frost by the strawberry and
fruit crops. It was at first feared that
the loss would be serious, but upon
careful examination 1t was found that
the early strawberries were injured, but
that there would be a large number Of
blossoms that had not fully opened that
would yield berries and many Of the
earliest blossoms that had a little pro-
lection by the leaves are safe. 1t Is
thought by many the valley would yield
60 per cent crop of berries. Some
of the peaches were nipped, but there
yet remains many on the trees The
apricots were sufficiently advanced so
the damage was not great. The grape
crop is entirely safe.

AS an example of the Seattle market
on May 8, the following special market
letter, sent out by A. H. Horton & Co.,
under that date, is reproduced:
Special Market Letter.
The egg market is still week and we
do not know what this week will do
Our storage houses are all filled. But
we still want good fresh ranch eggs
and will pay 20 1-2c f. o. b. Seattle
loss off, for Washington ranch, and
10 1-2c for Oregon ranch.
Veal and poultry are still in big de-
mand and bringing good prices for all
you can ship us. We will pay you f.
o. b. Seattle Seattle weights:
Veal-Choice fat rs to 100, 100
IL lie; medium, 70 to 125, sos 1-2c;
heavy fat, 1875 to 200, COS lie; heavy
thin, 5@7c; light thin, 5@7c.
Poultry-Good hens, Is 1-2@16c; good
young ROSTERS, 1O@16c; old roosters,
1Oc; broilers, $4@5.5O per doz.
Ship us all the veal and poultry you
can-you can not overstock us. If you
commission (our commission is 10 per
cent on the price sold att, we quote you
the selling market as follows:
Butter-Local creamery, 24c; ranch,
16@18c.
Eggs-Local ranch, 22@23c; Oregon
ranch, 20@21c; small, dirties and checks
16@18c.
Veal-Choice fat, rs to 100, HOBO;
medium, 70 to 125, 900 1-2c; heavy

Poultry-Good hens, 17@1Sc; young
roosters, 12@1Sc; old ROSTERS, HOBO;
broilers, $500 per d0z.
It would seem as though this were
the time to reap the golden harvest for
all such people that have either veal
or poultry or eggs for shipment.

Age has no effect whatever on the
laying or paying quality Of geese. The
rule is that geese increase in prolificacy
with years They lay as many eggs
twenty years old as they did when only
two and three years old and the fertility
of same is better. OF course, a proper
keeping and feeding must have been
practised at all times. Fat geese are
non-producers. A solid grain ration is
detrimental to good results A grass
run and liberty and little oats st night
during the winter season is best.

SEATTLE MARKETS IN THE LEAD.

The condition of the Seattle poultry
market at the present time is such as
to make the rancher, who is we'll stocked
with eggs and poultry which are ready
for the market, feel as though he were
the owner of a small gold mine. A.
H Horton, secretary of the Seattle
Dairy Produce Exchange stated to The
Ranch on May that it would be an i'm
possibility for probably the next thirty
days to overload the Seattle market
with either poultry or eggs, and the
prices are continuing strong. Veal is
also commanding top notch prices and,
as Mr. Horton said: II sold veal this
morning for II cents per pound, which
would not have brought over cents
on the markets of the east Veal is
very scarce article and the local meat
markets are clamoring for every ship
ment that comes in. Veal is bringing
as high as IL 1-2 cents per pound in
the Seattle market, and quotations Of
May in the Portland papers show
the prices ranging from IL cents to
s cents, making a variance in favor of
Seattle of as high as cents"
There seems to be a misunderstand-
ing, or rather lack Of information,
on the part Of Oregon farmers Of the
new ruling of the agricultural depart
ment. The majority of the farmers
seem to think that they are not per-
mitted under this ruling to ship their
dressed veal or poultry to another state
without it's first being inspected by
government inspector This is in
correct. The law was originally in
tended to cover only the big packing
houses of the country, and farmers of
one state may ship to another by fill
ing out a certificate, a copy of which
is printed in this article. Butchers Of
one state can ship to another by filling
out certificate, which will be fur
nished by the department Of agriculture
at Washington upon application. This
should do away with what has seemed
to be a considerable barrier as against
the farmers of one state shipping to
the markets Of another. This form is
supplied for publication by A. Fl. Hor-
ton & Co., and will be sent by them to
any shippers desiring same:
