states that the plants here and at
Riverside and the Duck Pond shear
ed something like 10000 head of
sheep this season and that the work
is complete excepting about 5000
head at the Duck Pond, The sheep
averaged about s pounds of wool per
head which makes a total of weight
of about 1,55O,0OO pounds of wools
valued at an average of 25 cents per
pound make $S6O,OOO. About co.
600 head were clipped at the Jun

ducing fair crops.
The average for both old and new
land under the Warmsprings project
will not exceed $23 per acre, OF which
the new land will bear two-thirds. We
will need some assistance from Port

SO much for the farming interests
as TO irrigation.
There are two drainage districts in
the process OF organization-the Ny.
ssa- a-Arcadia and the Ontario. There
will be reclamation OF some 5000
acres not now producing and an In.
crease in the production OF 1000
acres, while prevention from future
attacks OF rising water tables will
result for the remaining 5000 acres
That which will eventually add ia

Eastern Oregon is development OF the
nitrate and potassium fields OF the

The American Nitrate company, oi

ALFALFA SECTIONS
BEST FOR CHEESE

The sections OF this country in
which alfalfa is produced as one OF
the larger crops, cheese factories can
be maintained without detriment 10
the growing crops OF calves and pigs
from lack OF the skinned milk, ac-
cording TO the department OF agricul-
ture.
Experiments by the New Mexico
experiment station have demonstrat-
ed that where alfalfa pasture is avail
able and corn Is worth so cents per
bushel, hundredweight of skinned
milk is worth only IA cents, as COM
pared to 30 cents where there is no
alfalfa. II is probable that with
pigs on alfalfa pasture they could give
almost as great gains as would skim
med milk.
The prices which a cheese factory
is able TO pay for butterfat, in COM
petition with other markets, can
readily be estimated IL the price OF
cheese is known, MIX makes 2.7
pounds OF cheese for each pound OF
butterfat The cost of manufacture
Is about two cents pound in fac
tories of the ordinary size. Cheese
at 13 cents per pound would allow
the payment of 29.7 cents a pound
for butterfat; at IA cents for cheese
32.4 cents for butterfat; at 10 cents
for cheese, 35.l cents for butterfati
and at l6 cents for cheese, 37.S cents
would be paid for butterfat. During
the past summer great quantities OF
! cheese were sold in the Rocky noun
/ tain states at price higher than II
cents per pound, while probably none
brought less than 1 3 cents per pound
In the flush of the season a chees'
factory can be operated economical!
on $500 pounds of milk, or the pro
duct of about 200 cows. This mill
should be produced within four milei
of the factory, as longer haul is no
economical and increases the danger
of bad milk and poor cheese. A ohees'
factory TO handle 5000 pounds o
milk can be built for about $3.50
including equipment.
AS so little of the country is natur
ally suited to the manufacture o
cheese, and as the possibilities Of in
creasing its consumption are so great
the department believes that, as I
rule, consideration should be giveI
20 establishing factories where tn
conditions are favorable TO the de
velopment of this industry.

NYSSA LANDS TO
Be IRRIGATED
(From the Journal)

Before next years crop is planted
Il seems certain that at least 1000
acres of fertile land will be added to
Nyssa's tributary territory and II is
probable that the total acreage of the
new lands will reach 1900 acres.
II. T. Pratt, the we'll known owy-
hee farmer and lard owner, was In
town Tuesday and brought word that
the drylanders In his vicinity had be-
come tired OF waiting for water
through government or other outside
sources and had contracted with the
Electric Investment company for
power to. operate private pumping
plants. a meeting was held at Mr.
Pratts place last week, which was
attended by ]. +. orr. district mana
ger OF the Electric Investment Co..
aud Interested farmers. Mr.. orr, for
the company. expressed Willingness
TO aid the land owners In every way
possible, even to extending the pow
er line TO H. r. Pratt's and John
Wards holdings, and to y. +. Pratt's
place across the owyhee river. The
majority OF the settlers will take wat
or directly from the Owyhee river
and a few will use the owyhec ditch
as a source OF supply. The various
lifts range all the way from five feet
at the II. Walters place to AZ feet
at q. o. Glascock's. The estimated
cost OF irrigatlng the lands is some
thing less than $500 per acre.
Mr.. Pratt Is confident that a total
OF 1900 acres OF new land will be
reclaimed next season. The bring
ing cf this large acreage under Guilt
yaton will not only be a boon to
settlers. hut the entire community
will feel the beneficial effects. Nyssa
