The agriculture of all the vast region west of the Kooky Mountains is still in its Infancy. Seme of tlte great territories are not yet producing breadettiffs enough for home consumption. That was true of Oregon a few years ago. IsTow there is u largo lleut of wheat-ladeii ships sailing from her principal port every year. Utah Territory, with the exception of a little spot about Snlt Lake, niatlo no show of agricultural products. Now the best potatoes found west of the Mississippi Itiver are found in Ptah, and sent over to California in large quantities for consumption. Fruit-culture has been pushed beyond tho Sierra. The great apple-orchards will be far up the mountains on either slope. The culture of the grape and the wine interest will probably be west of the Sierra, although it is j'ust possible that we have not yet found the beat soils for tho production of wine grapes. Ihe maximum of lumber production has already been reached in the States east of the Mississippi. The eastern timler belt has been explored, and most of the lauds reduced to private possession.
