work continues throughout the year.
Though the summer is warm and

] In winter the mercury seldom goes

Malheur county claims to have the
best soil in the west for raising of
sugar beets. Farmers raise from 20
to 80 tons an acre and get a net profit
OF from $40 to $50 per acre. The
sugar beet factory at Nampa, Idaho.
offered prizes OF $3.50 and 500 for
the best 10-acre field raised in the
Snake river valley. and A. ]. Quack-
enbush of Ontario. received first prize
and John Ray of Nyssa, second prize.
Both these fields produced over 20
tons per acre and netted the owners
SIS per acre profit. This industry has
become a very profitable one, it being
demonstrated that a few acres proper
ly cultivated is sufficient to support
a family. The sugar beet factory is
located at Nampa, Idaho. 40 miles
from Ontario Ore, and they pay $3.50
per ton loaded on the cars here. They
have built beet dumps at all conven-
lent places along the railway. which
makes it convenient for the farmers.
necessitating hauling their beets but
a short distance. Beet land rents for
$50 per acre.
This is a good dairying country,
because hay is grown so cheaply, and
butter fat sells from 25 to 81 cents

Malheur county has the largest
fruit crop this year that has ever been
experienced in that section OF the
state. Trees are being broken In
many Instances with the weight OF
the apples, pears and peaches not
withstanding the fact that nearly all
orchards were thinned fully SO per
cent This bountiful crop is not con-
fined to fruit alone; in fact, all farm
and garden products seem to be com
peting with each other in an endeav-
or TO see which can be the most pro-
life.
William Morfitt, who lives two
miles southwest OF Ontario, from his
S-year-old peach orchard picked and
sold an average OF 200 pounds Of
peaches to the tree.
Alfalfa will yield seven TO 10 tons
per acre. 10000 tons of which has
been contracted for by one purchaser
at $3.50 per ton in the stack. Alfal-
fa seed is proving to be a paying
crop. as some Of the farmers say they
will clear at least SIS per acre from
this source. Sugar beets look partic-
ularly good this year, promising to
equal the highly satisfactory yield Of
80 tons per acre two years ago.
Low Land Values.
While many orchards are yielding
$1,000 per acre and alfalfa as high as
sSS to $40 per acre, land values are
exceedingly low as compared with
other more extensively advertised dis
tricts Of the state, as good irrigated
orchard land can yet be had at from
800 to $3.50 per acre, including water
rights These prices will, however,
experience a substantial increase over
the prevailing prices at the present
time, owing to the recent organiza-
ton Of commercial clubs which will
bring the wonderful resources Of their
county to the attention OF the gen.
eral public.
Malheur county is in the extreme
corner Of the state, bor-
dering on Idaho and Nevada, and |
contains some 97S4 square miles.
Fruit raising that has been particu-
lsrly successful there has been with |
apples, apricots, raspberries, black
perries. strawberries, peaches. pears, !
plums, prunes, nectarines, grapes and |

Canning and Drying Fruit.

There is a fruit cannery at Arcadia
which does a good business, and there
are several fruit drying and evapo-
rating plants. The mild climate is
good for agriculture, and the honey
secreted by the alfalfa plants is ex-
cellent Almost every ranch has its
bee hives, where from so to 12O
pounds are gathered by each colony
yearly.
The towns of the county are On
tario, Nyssa, Arcadia, Vale, Jordan
Valley, Westfall and Malheur. The
first four are situated on the Oregon
Short Line railway; Vale is the coun-
ty seat. Each Of these towns has its
special value to the section in which
it is located; all have good schools
and enjoy financial health. The vol
ume Of business pouring through On
tario's channels of trade aggregates
more than s2,OOO,OOO annually.
Poultry raising has met with sue
cess in this county. Chickens sell
readily at high prices and the cholera
element is unknown. What is said
TO be the largest plant in the world
for the propagation of the luscious
