As Example of

A letter received by L. e. Cline.
federal agriculturist, following in
quiry as to lands and farms in this
valley, was so filled with questions
tnat he has taken a day off to an
swer them. Each question was in
relation to possibilities and actual
tiles in this section. They ranged
from flowers to fruits, from the vino
to vegetables, and the new investor.
who assures Mr.. Cline that he is
coming with his family, wants to be
able to improve a property.
There Is one property on the pro-
1ect that answers every question pro-
pounded and that is at the Morgan
farm few miles this side of Lahon-
tan dam. Fifteen years ago this
ranch was started and today it is
one of the finest specimens of diver
sification that can be found on the
project.
At the present time this property
is In full bearing. The second crop of
alfalfa is being cut and is one of the
best in this valley Close TO 800 tons
Of alfalfa will be In the stack before
the season closes. On the lower ranch
there is at present one of the finest
stands of wheat that has been grown
IN this section. 1t Is spring wheat.
Dickland, and for average height.
large and we'll filled heads, it cannot
be surpassed in any section of the
state. Tom KeDdrick, the local miller.
stated that it was one of the finest
fields he has inspected In a number
of years.
The question of fruits Is answered
on this property. Peaches have borne
to point where they have broken
down the trees, and the early crop
has been harvester and market at a
fair profit to the owners. The later
varieties are fast ripening and will
be on the local market within the
next few weeks at the utmost. Apri-
cots ripen and are marketed from the
trees on this place while nectrines
will be ready for market at the close
of the season.
Apples of a dozen varieties are
weighting down the trees. Crab
apples are being marketed from over
bearing trees and the plum crop is
as fine as can be found in any of the
famous orchards in California.
Raspberries and strawberries
flourish on this property and have
been part or the market products.
Asparagus was supplied the local
a RI of u ~f
is one of the profitable products.
Grapes hang In clusters such as
are advertised in the California boost
articles and they can be found in
several varieties.
This ranch is but one on which
such a variety can be grown In this
valley, and has become show place
by those who know of its resources
and its fine setting In the trees along
the river.
Mr.. Cline has used the products
from this property on many occasions
to illustrate the possibilities of this
section, and while the property has
been under cultivation but a few
years it will continue to improve
under the plans OF the MorganS.
Dairying is to become one of the
factors and with the poultry and
other features that are found on the
ranch it is possibly as up to date in
every particular as any place on the
entire project.
Unfortunately this farm is not sit.
uated on the direct highway as II
sets to one side and is passed up by
many who would be interested in
farm possibilities on the Newlands
project There is enough advertising
matter to be found on this one place
TO fill the average bulletin and 1t
need not be exaggerated. To those
who are asking questions as to what
can be done this one property will
answer every one of them.
