crops and bountiful yields. Much of
the tributary agricultural areas are
adapted to the growing of corn and
beans, crops that enable the farmer
to avoid the costly practice of summer
following. Corn is now prominent
crop, and hogs and cattle are fast
coming into favor. Last fall, at the
Lewiston Charleston fair, Clearwater
county carried off sweepstakes and the
$3.50 prize for the best county or dis
trict display. This shows the super
Tor class and the vast variety of pro-
ducts. The soil around Orofino is rich
as soil is ever found, producing SO
wonderfully in both quantity and
variety as to tax the credulity of
those who have not actually seen with
their own eyes. Corn, to heighth
of sixteen feet, has been grown near
the Northern Pacific depot in Orofino.
and pumpkins of amazing size grow
in unbelievable quantity. Grapes,
tomatoes, peppers, egg plants, sweet
potatoes, and many varieties of nuts,
grow and mature. No district can
excel the Orofino tomato for quality
and quantity, and our sweet corn is
unsurpassed.
In grasses not only Orofino, but all
of Clearwater county ranks high.
Clovers do especially we'll. The
Orchard grass is especially we'll
adapted, and grows rank and prolific.
Its early maturing nature makes it
one of the best, affording early feed
and exceptionally early hay. Rye
hay, four feet tall, was cut near Oro-
fino in 1914 in May. The matured
rye, over 8 feet tall, grew near Fra
ser, also in the valley at Orofino.
POULTRY
Orofno offers exceptional opportun-
tiles for poultry growing. The river
valleys and the bench farms are. par
ticularly free from wind, while the
winters are short and mild, affording
ideal conditions for all kinds Of poul-
try. The early springs enable the
grower to produce for the earliest
markets, insuring top prices, while
the price of eggs is always high.
Fresh eggs are now worth as cents
per dozen, and not available, while at
no time last summer did the price
drop below 25 cents per dozen. This
is true partly from the large tribu-
tary forests that are supplied from
Orofino and surrounding country, MAX
ing high-priced market at all times
certain.
ROOM FOR YOU.
There is room in Clearwater county
for you. The county is thinly settled.
The price of land is low. The oppor-
tunities are great. The county has a
great future. 1t is just in its infancy
1t has water power enough going to
waste to turn all the wheels in Idaho.
1t has timber not yet touched to sup
ply the world for years to come; lime
and cement material right in sight OF
Orofino to supply mammoth factories
for generations and cheap fruit lands
available to feed the world on lucious
. red apples of the highest quality and
the deepest color.
BIG RED APPLES
, Why pay fabulous prices for apple
lands? Why irrigate at heavy ex-
pense? Tributary to Orofino is avail
able thousands of acres of the best Of
apple lands. And experience has
: demonstrated that no district in tht
West can produce superior apple tt
the Orofino variety. In keeping quail
tiles the irrigated product is not tt
be compared, and no district, regard
; less of the price of its lands, or tn,
reputation it may have established
, can produce a superior article. TIL,
Orofino benches, the side hills, hav,
been broven to be the highest class
fruit lands, and yet it is the cheapes
land we have. The Franquette wal
, nut has also been proven to be par
ticularly well adapted to Orofino, an,
: has been produced in attitudes varyin,
; from the valley, at eleven hundre,
feet altitude, to 1900 feet, doing wei
F, at all the varying attitudes. Stuff
cient time has now elapsed since wal
nuts were first attempted to demon
strate beyond question that this is
0 practical and profitable crop at Orc
| fino.
