care must be taken by planting late
blooming, hardy varieties of all these
fruits. because OF late frosts.
The evidence OF what small fruits
Will do Is found In the wealth of wild

grown to great advantage as soon as

The richness OF the soil and the
ease with which It Ia worked make
the klamath section vast potential

makes land in sections OF Southern

worth hundreds Of dollars per acre
will produce the same result here.
The klamath Basin Is already q
great native pasture-land, and when
are added alfalfa, clover, etc., It will
be an unexcelled dairy country. At
present cattle and sheep occupy the
fields. There are many Herefords
and some Shorthorns, Deyons and
