WORTHY
OF MENTION
WHY LIVE IN THE BEST
SECTION OF THE WEST

The wonderful Snake River Valley
with its three hundred days of sun
shine, on the aveage of about 2143
feet above sea level, and the average
rainfall i about nine inches for the
, entire year This means that hay
can be stacked in the field and that
alfalfa is always bright and green
and never spols in the stack. Our
summer climate will satisfy the most
precise tourist, as the thermometer
seldom reaches one hundred de-
grees, and the nights are usually
! cool. This is one of the best climates
/ in the world for livestock. The
rainfall is about ten inches for the
| entire season, with snow on the
ground only short time in the win
ter. The climate being dry, the
hay does not spoil in the stack. so
the sheep and cattle are fed out of
doors the entire year. AS a result
of our wonderful climate three crops
of alfalfa are raised during the year.
The fruits of the Valley are
peaches, pears, apricotts, nectarines,
cherries, apples, prunes, plums,
ounces, almonds and grapes. While
the smaller fruits are cantaloupes,
Strawberries, raspberries, dewberries. /
loganberries, blackberries, currants
and gooseberries.
In this section enough alfalfa is
raised to feed twenty-five thousand
cows the entire year. Five to seven
tons of alfalfa to the acre is our
field yield. Our pastures are gem
orally bluegrass. Bluegrass grows
as well here as in Kentucky. Snake
River Valley beats Iowa for corn. An
average yield of corn on irrigated
land is about seventy-five bushels
per acre and easily averages fifteen
tons of silage.

northern states not ready for the
markets and during this period
there IS always good demand for
carry potatoes. This Valley is one
OF the pest potato sections of the
united states; and while early no
tatoes average from seVenty-fiye to
one hundred sacks per acre, late Do
tatoes frequently go from two
hundred to two hundred and fifty
SACKS per acre. The famous Idaho
BAKED Potato is known over the en-
, tire United States. A cash prize
was once offered for the greatest
yield Oh potatoes within a radius of
five hundred miles. This prize was
won by man who lives about six
miles from Ontario, with a yield of
3T,4fb pounds of marketable pota-
toes or nearly nineteen tons per
acre.
Inc money production is unusually
profltaDie in this Valley on account
OF the ideal climate and the prevail
ence OF alfalfa, clover and fruit
blossoms. The bees thrive excep-
tionaliy well, increase rapidly. and
have long feeding season which
produces the. delicious, clear. white.
honey SO much sought after in east
ern ana foreign markets. Each col
ony VIII average about ninety
pounds OF honey annually, some
stands producing as high as one
hundred and fifty pounds.
In the lower part Of this valley
there are still more than three mil
lion acres OF government land. Most
of this is range land on which over
sixty thousand cattle and more than
three hundred thousand sheen Craze
during the summer. Besides these
there are twenty thousand horses
and mules on the farms and ranges
or the country. This great range
with its cheap feed during the sum-
mer makes this one of the very great
est livestock sections in the entire
United States. At the same time the
demand for feed for these cattle,
sheep and horses during the winter
insures the hay raisers of the valley
steady market for most of their
crop each year.
For poultry, our climate is ideal
Due to the absence of moisture
roup and many other chicken dis
eases caused by dampness and cold
do not exist.
In this section one need not be
afraid OF shortage of cars in which
to ship his livestock, fruits or vege.
tables, as this Valley has railroads
woven in every direction and reach.
every part of the Valley. Besides
this the main line of the Union Pa
cific system comes down through
the center Of this wonderful valley
We also have some of the bes
highways in the United States
Among the many different ones ar,

This Highway starts at Portland
