Excerpt from Farm Practice With Forage Crops in Western Oregon and Western Washington
Western Washington is largely covered with a dense growth of evergreen timber and underbrush. The prairie land is limited and much of it is gravelly and of little agricultural value. Most of the agricultural land was formerly timbered, and it has shown itself eminently adapted to the production of forage crops and various kinds of fruit. Clover has been one of the leading crops for years, and little of the land has been subjected to the exclusive production of cereal crops. As might be expected, therefore, most of the farm land of western Washington is still in a very productive condition.
