For hay it has no equal. The al

almost as valuable for feeding pur-

atmosphere is so dry and rarefied
that the heat does not become OPP
pressive and sunstroke and heat
prostrations are unknown. The
precipitation as measured at the gov
eminent weather station al Boise
for the year 1908 was 149 inches.
Rarely does it rain in summer nor
is rain desirable. as, under irrigation,
water is supplied to the soil under
perfect control, and crops are gar
nered without fear of damage by
rain.
The high, dry, cool air of Southern
Idaho is unfavorable to the produc-
ton and development of germ dis
eases. Physicians recommend this
climate for those suffering from
pulmonary diseases. Chronic catarrah
of the nose, throat and bronchial
tubes are favorably Influenced at
once.
The average mean temperature OF
the southern part of Idaho is So de-
grees. There is an average Of 900
days of sunshine per year. The eli
matte conditions are ideal to people
who enjoy the four seasons tempered
by sunny skies and gentle breezes
from the mountain tops
Taken altogether, it is very diff
hcult to find a more genial climate
than that of Idaho. Asthmatic suf-
ferers here find ready relief and cure.
1t is doubtful if a case of tubercular

Every common product of the

states Of the Union. The elements
of Nature are all favorable to fruit

most favorable condition for fruit
growing. Apples, pears, peaches.
plums, prunes, apricots, nectarines,
cherries and grapes all thrive and
yield most bountifully. Berries Of
all kinds grow with great vigor and
produce most extravagant crops.

pure and cold, is obtained at a depth
of from twenty to thirty feet. The
source of supply is the melting snow
of the mountain which edge the al
ley.
The superb climate of Southern
Idaho is one of its chief attractions.
The varying altitude that obtains
throughout the state provides almost
any temperature that can be desired.
The atmosphere in all parts of the
state is generally dry and highly
rarefied. In the higher attitudes
of the mountain regions the winters
are long and the snowfall heavy,
reaching ten to fifteen feet on the
level. On the plains of the Snake
river valley the temperature is very
mild and the snowfall is very light;
sleighing is unknown.

development of the water supply
here, many fruit growers have turn
ed their attention to this section,
and one of the largest orchards in
all Idaho is being set out. C. f.
Wheeler and associates. Of Wen
atchee. Wash. have purchased 1000
acres of land at Mountain Home,
all of which will be devoted to winter
apples. Mr. Wheeler comes from
great fruit-growing section. where
there are orchards valued at $4,000
per acre, on land that ten years ago
cost but s100 per acre.
w. G.. HOWE. an attorney of
Mountain Home, and horticulturist
of the first rank, has a lot one and
one-fourth acres in extent. on which
is located his residence and barn, the
balance of the ground being in fruk
of various kinds. The sales from
this little fruit garden sometimes
amount to as much as $500 a year.
and viii average $500 per annum.
Recently George p. Hall, the vet
eran fruit grower Of Mountain
Home. sold his fruit ranch, contain
ing fifteen acres Of peaches and five
acres of other fruits, for the sum of
$25.O00. Mr.. Hall had what was
called the finest peach orchard in
the west and marketed annually 10,-
600 boxes of peaches. From one
cherry tree on this ranch, Mr. Hall
has frequently sold $40 worth of
fruit. The Bling and Royal Ann

valley are said to be the finest in

The Snake river, which winds its
way through Idaho distance of
more than 100 miles, carried an i'm
mense body of water, sufficient, in
fact. according to the state engineer,
to cover all the available lands in
the great Snake river basin to
depth of 76 inches during the irri-
cation season. For richness of soil,
water supply and ease of irrigation,
productivity and mildness of climate,
this valley is not surpassed by any
other in the United States. In this
valley are nearly 1000 miles of main
canals, costing 100000, capable
of supplying water to 3,266,386 acres
of land, of which only 1,500,915 are
under cultivation.
The particular part of this valley
to which we wish to call the atten-
ton of the reader of this article
is that magnificent stretch of irrig-
able land which begins about ten
miles east of Mountain Home and ex-
tends westward from this city about
twenty miles This strip of land lies
north of the Snake and has a width
of from ten to fifteen miles. sloping
gently from the foothills to the river
and is traversed throughout its en-
tire length by the main line of the
Oregon Short Line, which is part
of the Union Pacific system.
The soil is largely of volcanic
origin and is of the same quality and
character to an average depth of
from three to eight feet This soil
is matchless in fertility and is easy
of cultivation and especially adapted
for irrigation. Covered with a
growth of sage brush, it is indeed a
desert, but with the application of
water the brown desert is turned into
a green garden.
Irrigation is a subject of the great
est interest, in these times, to all the
people of our country, and parti-
cularly to the people Of the western
states. 1t is the art of producing
crops by watering the earth artifi-
cially. in regions where there is not
sufficient rainfall for the production
of bountiful crops, and is an art
which was evidently in use in ages
previous to those of which we have
any authentic history
There is nothing mysterious or
intricate about raising crops by the
method of irrigation. The ancient
Egyptians practiced it, and Hero
dotus. the oldest historian, who
visited that country and saw the won
derful crops produced on irrigated
lands. tells us that he was afraid to
tell the truth about their excellence
and great abundance, lest the people
would think he was lying.
About all the beginner has to
learn is the quantity of water to be
applied to his growing crops Too
much is as injurious as too little, and
the beginner is more likely to get
too much than too little, though he
soon learns by experience and OBJ
servation to adjust the moisture in
proportion to the needs of his crops.
The irrigating farmer has the pro-
ductiveness of his land as much
under control as the engineer has
hie engine Pv milling lever he
lets on steam or water. as the case
may be, and by the same lever shuts
it on when he has enough. There
is no mystery. no secret about it; il
is simply applying Natures methods

orchardist turns water through the
