l274 acres aofzaats- =Reets= have been
raised on the ceded tract for the
first time the best season there were
30S acres in all, and a good yield
was harvested. Next year 1t is
thought that there will be at least
1000 acres of beets.
Those residing on the ceded tract
under this project have Sone of the
best and most liberal water rights
known in the country today and have
received the same for the small
amount of Sc per acre. The soil is
a yakima olam, a gray to brownish
friable loan from two to six feet
deep, underlain b gravelly loan,
or by water worn gravel from one
to four inches in diameter. In the
lighter phases of the type the soil
has somewhat ashy appearance and
feel, while the brownish and more
loamy areas are found where irri-
cation has been practiced for a num-
Der of years. The soil is loose and
easily titled, and bakes very little
on exposure after irrigation. The
value of the land is from SIS to
$500 per acre. The results on the
coded tract from farming stand
point have not been a success taking
the farming as unit 80 per cent
or more of the land on the coded
tract is farmed by renters. The
owners of 95 per cent of the land
are business men of Pocatello or sur
rounding country These renters
are in miserable circumstances finan-
cially and are after the crop rather
than anything pertaining to the up
keep of the place rented. Seldom
does the same renter appear on the
same land more than one season.
Little time is spent in putting the
land into shape and constructing new
bitches and cleaning out old ones,
in order that the crop might be prop
erly irrigated. In many and most
instances the individuals are farming
more than they can handle. Crop
rotation Is neglected and the up-keep
of the majority of the farms is mis-
cradle. The farmers have no idea of
the duty of water, some are using as
high as six acre feet of water per
season and running crop that other
wise would have been a tremendous
ly large one. The Improvements on
the coded tract in the way of addi-
tional roads, telephone service, new
homes, Sunday and public schools,
beet dump, and rural free delivery
route from Pocatello are worthy of
special mention.
On the reservation the Indians are
