CRYSTAL, PICTURESQUE and FERTILE

Crystal is the picturesque part of
Power county. 1t is a settlement of
about $50 families, so well hidden
away in a recess of the mountains that
an invading army would never find
it. The center of the settlement is
about twenty miles from Pocatello and
80 miles, by the travelled route, from
American Falls. Entrance to the set
Element is through a narrow cash in
the mountains constructed especially
to permit R~attlesnake creek to find
a way out. The mouth of the canyon
is about a mile from the main travelled
road to Bannock valley but so well
concealed that a stranger would never
know there was any canyon there.
The road leading to the conyon starts
off in another direction, and to all
appearances seems to be a part of the
old road running down Bannock creek.
toward Pocatello or American Falls.
People who have known there was a
road leading up Rattlesnake creek
have been unable to find it. But once
the road is located there is no possible
chance to get off Of it until it opens
into a hilly valley with roads running
in all directions.
All roads in Crystal radiate from a
common center, like the spokes in
wheel. If one starts in the right di-
rection these roads all lead to the
store of John o. Johnson. If one
starts in the other direction he viii

mountain, with some homesteader liv'

pear to be a valley at all.
1t is a very fertile spot, with the
wash of ages carried down from the
mountains upon it, and lies at eleva-
tons ranging from 5000 to 5000 feet,
the highest farming land in the coun-
ty. Some of the demonstrators of the
county agent in Crystal live at an ele-
vation Of 5000 feet and they have dem
onstrated that things will grow there
in riotous abundance.
". c. Snyder, one of the pioneers of
that locality, raised 1864 bushels of
oats on 10h acres of irrigated land,
and 4172 bushels Of barley on so acres.
Ralph and Reese Whiting, also
pioneers, harvested 1892 bushels of
Turkey Red wheat from IS acres of
dry land.
Warren Price has been very success
full in growing dry land alfalfa get
ting two good cuttings last year and
a lot Of good pasture.
Like yields have been secured by
many others. Deep nov In winter
and summer showers combine to
make the Crystal section ideal for
dry land farming. The mountains by
which il is hemmed in afford a pro-
lection from wind. The mountains
provide excellent range for stock and
timber for all purposes.
Crystal has no rabbits and few pests
of any kind. 1t was settled later thar
most other parts of the county, due
probably, to its inaccessibility. Tit
settlement is connected by a fairl,
good road with the Bannock vale,
highway, five miles distant from the
center of the settlement. There is al
so a good road leading to Pocatello.

worth of property, in the way of good
buildings, public and financial lnstltu-
lions, stand in this state today as mon
uments to the industry.
But this is a day of evolution. Inc
great ranges are being subdued py
the pillow and being divided and sub
divided by the farmer to make homes
for our ever increasing population.
With this change the big flocks
pass and with few exceptions the hold
ing of sheep in the future will be COM
p%aratively small.
Sheep on the farm will be profitable
on either irrigated or dry farms. In
Australia, in sections where the an
nual precipitation is only eight inches,
the government requires sheep hus-
bandry as a condition to the cultiva-
ton of the land. The Australian
government retains control of the
4and in these sections and only per-
>4its use of it under certain codi-
tons. A three year rotation is adopt
ed. This rotation is summer fallow

and not only one crop. but two the
wool and lambs.
Besides, a nice mutton now and then
reduces the cost OF living and FUR
nishes pleasant and healthful change
from the regulation pork diet OF the
ordinary farm. During n year in
Chicago. the government meat inspec-
tor found but thirteen diseased cases
of sheep. while those of cattle and
hogs run into the thousands. Whiie
Idaho is practically free from all forms
of sheep diseases we do have to con-
tend with predatory animals that
cause a heavy annual loss in sheep
and their work is not confined to sheep
as they kill domestic fowls and game
birds.
At present Power county has but
few sheep TO her credit but there are
a number of small flocks, many OF
which were started within a year and
almost without exception they have
been more than satisfactory to the
owners. This year will see a marked
increase and it is very conservative
to say that living expenses Of the en-
tire population of the county can be
met by the keeping of sheep without
reducing the selling value OF its crops
one penny. In other words. sheep VII

c~ipitation that the dry farming Sec
tions of Australia have, the adoption
of similar methods would bring much
greater success here.
The present high prices of both NUT
ton and wool are stimulating the bust
ness so that more people, by half, own
sheep in the state than did so three
years ago. Still the total number OF
sheep has increased by a few thousand
only. When this adjustment is COM
pleted, we should have a substantial
increase, bringing Idaho from fifth to
possibly second place, as regards the
number of sheep.
With our nutritious grasses, pure
water, and exceptionally favorable eli
mate. we should not only maintain our
present reputation as the producers
of the best market lambs, but we
should so improve the quality that the
profits to the producer will be increas-
ed fifty per cent, but we will supply
a wool equal to that of New Zealand
and a meat superior to the famous
English mutton-chop.
Most of our farms are large, and,
with few exceptions, produce grass
and other forage that rs not now utllz-
ed that would support small punches

and thrive on weeds and other feed
that is neither palatable or suited to
either cattle or horses. Of all the

Sheep husbandry is one of the first
industries known to man and n
more universally practiced than any
other branch of the live stock bust
ness. There is no age from the be-
ginning of history to the present day
that sheep have not contributed to the
support of the human race. Today
there is no country too small or so
remote that it does not support at
least a few sheep.
This great United States has not n
~sheepless county.
The industry has waxed and wained
under the varying conditions that have
existed. Usually when there is gener-
al thrift this business is good and
where there is a depression it is poor,
but many times countries AVE been
reduced to restitution and have had to
turn to sheep for existence; and later
from their wonderful utility, has been
derived the revenue necessary to re-
plentish the treasury.
No domestic animal responds more
quickly to good care and feed and
none can subsist on less. In the wes-
tern United States, there are thou
sands of acres of land that have no
va0 e of consequence except for sheep
grazing, and thousands more are bene-
flied by the pasturing of sheep, espec-
tally the forest lands, as they eat out
the weeds and small brush, thus leav-
ing the moisture for useful timber.
Idaho is favored with a generous
water supply in the mountains and has
much land whose only surface value
is pasture. Thousands of dollars

of Crystal and the Pocatello CONNER

There are some splendid irrigated

ITO acres of alfalfa, and many of the
farms are partly irrigated. The
greater part of the settlement, how
ever, is dry farmed. A mail route,
with tri-weekly service from Pocatel-
10, runs through Crystal to Pauline

duct of the lands exclusive OF the
sheep. will be greater than it is today.
There is a great diversity Of opinion
among experienced and s~uccessfui
sheep owners as to the best breed.
This can be explained by referring to
the threadbare quotation of the Ken
tuckian who said that "all whiskey is
good but some is a powerful sight bet
ter"
While buyers cannot always find
what they want, or have the means TO
pay for their choice, a few points
should be kept in mind. In the selec-
ton OF a permanent herd, a good body,
deep chest, strong legs, well set, and
close even wool covering the entire
body should be kept in mind. Rams
should always be pure bred.
One very attractive feature of the
sheep business as a side line is the
inexpensive equipment required. A
| good fence is needed but this should
/ be provided regardless of the sheep.
This is a favorable time to embark
in the sheep business. The mountains,
desert and vast grain acreages tribu-
tary to American Falls offer induce
ments in the way of larger net profits
than is often found in the same area
Many will avail themselves OF the
chance and all should bear in mind
that prices will not remain at the pre-
sent high level. But the man who
stays through thick and thin will be
the one who makes a success of his
business and whose business makes a
success of him. If you go in the
sheep business and do your part, the
sheep will do the rest.
