A witer in the English Brewing Trade Review also is quoted cs sayinjf that seven American workers arc equal to ten in England. There's no doubt about it. But we were under the impression, in Fnuwi- (luring- the war, that this was true repaid less of what they drank. IRRIGATION IvDUCATION The project of the En Grande Realtors' Board and the Chamber of Commerce to further an excursion of farmers itnd business men into the' -Yakima valley this fall, foi'Mhe purpose of studying irris'al ion results, is worthy of con sideration and support. Seeing other territory which is considered similar to the Grande Ronde valley and investi gating conditions that are either un or bad can certainly do no harm, and should do much good. Only by COllipiii!" son and profiting by the expei ienee of others can any bene ficial change be possible. There are many farmers throughout the- Grande Rondo valley who are opposed to any effort to secure irrigation here. They are satisfied to leave well enough alone and are fearful of the disastrous results that have attended some irrigation projects in various parts of the Northwest. There are others, probably equal in number who contend that conditions in this valley are ideal for an irrigation project and that there is no danger of failure. They point to the extremely low cost for which water can be put on every farm in the valley, to the natural advantages that are so often lacking, to the present highly cultivated and .highly settled condition that would aid the project's suc cess. They believe that their surplus land holdings can be sold at n profitable figure and their operations continued on a much better paying basis only if water can be put on their farms. Each side is sincere in its position and there is un doubtedly much merit in the arguments of each. That one is fundamentally right is true without ouestinn. but. nniv time and the actual experiment can prove which, to every one's satisfaction. Most farmers and townspeople, regard less of their present belief, are really open-minded on the subject and are willing to bo convinced by their opponents when sufficient evidence is presented. The proposed cara van to Yakima is therefore good common sense as it will permit investigation of several projects and what they are accomplishing. There is little doubt that the Grande Ronde valley will be irrigated adequately at some future time. There is little doubt about the ultimate building of the Columbia River Basin pmjeet. But when it will be most practical to start these widely differing projects is a debatable ques tion. No resident of the Grande Ronde villey wishes to experience the failure that has attended some irrigation districts, and yet none is anxious to hold up the proper and prosperous development of the county. Careful and thor ough study and gradual education based on proven suc cesses offers the only satisfactory solution for this local problem that has been under consideration now for two decades.
