KLAMATH 'U For itn development and prot- UREATEST pcrlly tho Klamath BanLn must have NEED people, and the right kind of people at that. Ita groat need U intelli gent, practical fanners, who understand tho meaning of intensified and diversified farming; men who will buy land, not for speculative purposes, but with the idea of clearing off the sagebrush and mailing per manent and comfortable homes. Such men arc bound to succeed. Thcro is room for thousands of thorn. Developing .Sugar beets have been grown ex- Various ieriiiieutnlly throughout the Klam- Industries nth Valley. The percentage of sugar is high, iih will be noted from the following inuilvHis made hy theaUnitod States I)c paitment of Agriculture from beets grown near wigar in beets, per cent,, 21.7; sugar in juice, per eent..

Through, nut the world the reclaimed innr.slilaiid.s are the best Hinted for tlm highest development of dairy inter ciita. There is no quchtinu that this will become a sugar beet producing section mid that a number or facto ries will he built ami operated with the development of the industry. All kinds of fruit adapted to the temperate zone thrive here tipples, peaches, pears, cherries, prunes, plums, apricots ami nectarines do well, and small fruits hear abundantly and of excellent iinlity. There are a great many hinall orchards throughout the basin that prove the adaptability of tlm region to the profitable production of fruit. V.. L. Smith, former president of tho Oregon State Hoard of Horticulture, gives it as his opinion that (ho foothill lauds are .specially adapted to apple gtowing. Cultivation of tho potato has passed beyond the experimental stage, the sandy loam of the uplands producing them in great abundance. Klamath County wheat, grown without irrigation, took the premium nt tho New Orleans Exposition. Tho most important forage crop is alfalfa, tho soil being peculiarly adapted to its growth. Excess All landowners being required Holdings Must in sell their excess holdings, there Be Bold is n large area ot good land for sale nt reasonable figures, prices rang ing from about $15 to $115 for uuimproved, and $i!0 to $50 per aero tor improved land. Land adjacent to the principal towns comuinuds hiuber prices. The purchaser pays for tho water right at n cost of about $18 per aero to ho paid for in ten equal annual in stallmeuts without interest. This amounts to less tbnn tho ordinary annual rental paid privato ditch rompanies. Some of the irrigators of Klamath Vol ley (and they nro tho most prosperous farmers) have already paid out to such companies for water $60 per ncro and rwn no water. All of these companies havo been purchased hy tho Government and included in tho system. No pnblio lands will bo open for aettlement for several years. Olimato Tho upland soil is mainly a rich saudy and loam of great uniformity and composed Soil largoly of disintegrated and eroded lava with on admixture of volcauuT ash and dlutomitccoua earth, tho latter material of plant ori gin, formed in tho bottom of tho ancient sea which covered tho greater part of the Great Uasin, and of which Klamath Vnlley is n northwesterly extension. Such soil, characteristic of many of tho richest agri cultural sections of the world, iuoluding much of Italy and tho great plains of India, is extremely fer tile, and of lasting productiveness. Tho lake and tide lands nro niado up of a volcanie soil containing inuoh organic matter, a vegetable accumulation of ages, and is of a peatty nature. Tho olimato is oxtroincly healthful und not severe. There is rarely any Winter weather heforo tho hitter part of December, and but little eero weather during tho entiro Winter. Tlio nunual precipitation is about fifteen inches, with little rain during the Summer months. r S BUY According to Season .Groceries, the same as wearing apparel, should be bought according to seasons.
