In reply to a letter from f, G..
Young of Eugene, who is to address
the Rivers and Harbors congress,
which convenes in Washington, ID. c.,
December 4-6, on "The Valley OF the
Columbia" Colonel Allen Miller of
Boise, has compiled the following
from the statistics in the office of
the bureau of immigration and sta
tlstics, and his knowledge Of condi-
tlons in the state:
There are under irrigation in the
Snake River valley including all Its
tributaries, 2,400,50O acres Of land;
and the canals affording water to
these lands have under them about
$4,000 acres uncultivated. outside
of which are about 100000 acres
susceptible of irrigation II water
could be procured.
In the northern part of the state of
Idaho there are three counties d.
rectly tributary to the Snake river,
viz: Idaho, Nez Perce and Latah,
which have already in cultivation
100000 acres. These counties will
have a wheat surplus this year Of T.
100000 bushels, besides other grains
and will market at least $4,000 head
of cattle and 100000 head of swine
These counties have sufficient pre-
cipitation to produce crops without
irrigation.
In addition to the above quantities
of land, l estimate that there are
In the southern part of the state
tributary to the Snake river, between
two and three million acres Of fertile
land which will produce one good
crop of grain by the process of dry
farming. 1 note that the above fig
ures do not contain all the irrigated
and irrigable lands of the state, as
the watersheds OF the Bear river are
not included.
There are in the state at the pres
ent time eight companies who are
constructing irrigation works which
will put under water $4,000 acres.
The highest figure to which in
tense culture has raised the price oi
land is $500 per acre-this is fol
fruit-bearlng orchard. This price Is
however, exceptlonal-$500 an acre
would be a fair average for this
class OF land. Sugar beet lands sci
from $3.50 to 5000 per acre. Values
in the future are too remote to have
any statistical value.
As to the limit of navigation Of the
Snake river, I would say that Sho-
shone falls would be the head Of nav
igation and to reach even this point
would require expensive locks.

enormous WEALTH Of AMERICAN FARMS

I commercial expectations are that the
crop will be found to be the third
one in size ever raised, and percep-
tibly larger than the average crop Of
the previous five years. Though
its farm value is probably little be-
low that of last years crop, in 9TH
er respects it will be the most valu-
able cotton crop ever raised in this
country, and per cent above the av-
erage farm value of the crops of the
previous five years.
Outside of the British East Indies,
the production of cotton in the Brit
ish colonies, possessions, and protec-
torates was 1853 bales of 500 pounds
gross weight in 1904 and 10,O16 bales
in 1905. In the French colonies, ex-
cept French India and Indo-China,
400 bales were produced in 1904; in
the German colonies, 1900 bales in
1905.
Wheat Crop.
The wheat crop of 1907 Is 625,576,-
900 bushels, per cent less than the
average quantity for the five pre-
ceding years. But the value is about
$500, 900, 900, of 1-2 per cent more
than the average, although the crops
of 1901, 1902 and 1905 had each a
slightly higher value than that of
this year.
Sugar Molasses and Sirup.
The farm value of sugar beets, su-
gar beets, sugar cane, sorghum cane
and molasses and sirup made on the
farm is $64,0OO,OOO. Sugar made in
sugar mills (ncluding raw cane su-
gar) amounts to $4,000 short tons,
3 worth $73.000,000. other products
OF the sngar mills bring the value
up to $95,000,000; three-fourths of
this is farm value
Other Crops.
The oat crop-741,5 ,521 900 bushels
is 19 per cent below the five-year
average, but the value is 26 per cent
above the average, or 100000, 900.
2,427OO0 bushels
are 2 per cent above the average; the
value is $19O,OOO.OOO, or 26 per cent
above the average.
Barley also is 2 per cent above the
average in quantity, while the value
is extraordinary, about So per cent
above the average. The quantity Is
147,192,000 bushels, the value $115,-
900, 900.
Tobacco declined to 645,213,0 900
pounds, IL per cent below the aver
age in quantity, with a value of $67,-
100000, or Y per cent above the
average. The crop is smaller than
for many years.
The flaxseed crop is rs, O,OO0
bushels, worth $26,O00,000; the
quantity is per cent below and the
value per cent above the five-year
average.
Rye produced 3S1,566,OOO bushels,
with a valne of $4,000, 900; a guam
tity 4 per cent above the average and
value 20 per cent above.
Rice produced a record crop Of
963, $40, 900 pounds Of rough rice, or
98 per cent above the average for the
three preceding years. The farm
value is $19,5OO,00O. gain Of S6 per
cent over the average. The country
now exports more rice than it i'm
ports, owing to better varieties which
the department has helped the grow
er to secure from the orient.
Buckwheat produced 1921 900
bushels, worth 100000 900; a guam
tity ~ per cent below, and a value
IL per cent above the first year av-
erage.
Hops produced 4S.330,OOO pounds,

The eleventh annual report of the
secretary of agriculture opens with
the statement that the farm produc-
ton for 1907 is we'll up to the aver
age in quantity, while its value IS
much above that of any preceding
year. The farmer will this year have
more money to spend and more to
invest than he ever had before out OF
his years work.
Durum wheat was introduced into
this county in the years 1S99-19O2
by the department at first cost or
$4,000. This years crop is worth
$40 OO0O,OO0-more than twice the
annual cost of the entire department.;
5000. 900 acres are now used much
of il land formerly valueless, the
home of the prairie dog and the cac-
tus."
Beet Sugar.
The beet sugar industry has grown
very rapidly during the past 10 years.
In 1892 the beet sugar factories
turned out 13,46O short tons of re-
fined sugar; in 1897, five years later,
45.246 tons: in 1902, at the end Of
another five-year period, 21S,4O5
tons; and in 1907 the estimated pro-
duct reached 100000 tons. SO prof
table has the growing of sugar beets
proven that in many western states
sugar beet lands are rapidly increas-
ing in value.
Alfalfa.
Alfalfa is a wonderful plant for
producing wealth. 1t not only yields
several cuttings Of most nutritious
hay during a season. but actually en-
riches the ground on which it grows
by taking nitrogen from the air. The
department and the state experiment
stations have done much to promote
the extension of alfalfa growing.
While production is yet confined
mainly to the great west this forage
plant is yearly gaining a more sub
stantial foothold in the central and
southern states. The total crop Of
alfalfa hay in 1907 is estimated to be
worth OO,OO0.OOO.
Irrigation.
Irrigation Is yet confined al
most entirely to the arid or semi
arid regions Of the west and the rice
lands of the gulf coast, but in time
It will doubtless be practlced largely
in the more humid regions of the
country as it is in similar regions of
the old world. The irrigated area
now under cultivation in this coun-
try is 100000 acres. and the crops
grown on this area in 1907 we're worth
not less than $175, 100000. Next
year. If present prices are maintain
ed. the products Of irrigation farming
should be worth s250,000,00
Corn Crop.
Speaking Of the chief crop, the
secretary says that corn ranks first
in importance. Besides its large use
as a human food, as a livestock feed.
"the starch of corn becomes the fat
Of the nog and the finish Of the
steer" thus becoming great factor
in the production of meats and meat
products for export. While not as
large as that Of 1906, the value of
the corn crop Of 1908 is greater and
is 26 per cent above the average val
ue Of the crops OF the preceding five
years He adds that eight such
crops as that Of 1907 would pay for
duplicating every mile Of steam rail-
road in the United States, with ter
minals, rolling stock and all proper
ty,
