IRRIGATION IRRIGATION is the science of giving a plant jiust as much moisture as it needs, and just exactly when it needs it. IRRIGATION has added more wealth to the country in the last ten years than any three of the largest resources combined. Thousands of acres of worthless land hae been reclaimed and some of this land has sold for the highest prices ever paid for horticultural or agricultural land. IRRIGATION will reclaim "the desert," (MOO acres will be developed into a vast orchard district. "The desert" when irrigated will prove to bo the best orchard laud in the 1 vogue Itiver Valley. IRRIGATION will make the Rogue River Valley famous for its berries. The largest yields in the next few years will come from uho desert." IRRIGATION will add thousands of acres to the producing area of the Roguo KMver Valley, and in these new districts there will be no crop failure, for irriga tion is a guarantee of bountiful yields, and is real crop insurance for the rower.

Jt will do the same in tho Ivoguc River Valley. IRRIGATION will double the population of Bedford and tho Koguo River Valle in the next few years. New homes will bo established. Orchards will be planted on lands that have never been productive. "Tho desert" will be redeemed and a thousand families will be added through this development.
