Service refer inquiries to the Secretary 

 of the Klamath Water Users' Associa- 

 tion, Klamath Falls, Oregon. 



The growing season, owing to the 

 high altitude and consequent frost, is 

 compartively short, but the soil is 

 very fertile and the grasses, grains, 

 vegetables and hardier fruits are suc- 

 cessfully grown. Great areas of moun- 

 tain and hill country stretch away in 

 every direction, affording excellent 

 outrange, and even under present con- 



fir forests tributary to Upper Klamath 

 Lake range from ten to fifteen billion

 math county sells each year to the Uni- 

 ted States Army horses which bring 

 from $125 to $150 each. Beets grown 

 experimentally show a high percentage 

 of sugar. Tests show the tule soil to

 potatoes and fodder for dairy animals. 

 The timber resources of the Kla- 

 math region are enormous. The esti-

 ford. 



The Klamath country is one of vast 

 undeveloped resources of immense 

 possibilities. With the construction of 

 the government irrigation system and 

 the building of railroads to carry the 

 products to market, both achievements 

 of the immediate future, golden oppor- 

 tunities for the farmer, the stockman, 

 the manufacturer and the business 

 man will present themselves.
