Il YOU
KNOW!


After seven years of assay tests
of soils throughout the 48 states. the
federal government gave Skagit
County soil, in the State of Wash
ington, the highest rating.
The soil of the county is divided
broadly into thsee classes: an allu-
vial soil, forming most of the bot
tom lands, peat soil in the marsh
and tide lands; and clay loan in the
>uplands. All are very productive for
certain crops and soil suitable for
intensive cultivation of any particu-
lar crop can easily be selected.
Oats yield from 80 to $50 bushels
to the acre and run from 40 to AZ
pounds to the bushel. Barley yields
IS to IS bushels to the acre; timothy
hay three to five tons per acre. Po-
tatoes produce from 300 to 600
pounds per acre.
Skagit County has more record
dairy cows than any other county in
the state. The climate is mild and
equable, the mean winter tempera-
ture being about the same as North
Carolina, Northern Georgia and
Arkansas, but not subject to as great
fluctuations as in those other re-
gions. The county is so miles north
of Seattle, Is miles south of the in
ternational boundary, is "a miles in
width north and south and extends
from the eastern shore OF Puget
Sound to the summit of the Cascade
range, a distance of IS miles and
embraces a dozen inslands in the
Sound.
