According to a Kritisli economist the ratio between the
productiveness of the worker in dry America and in becr
' drinking Britain is as that' between $3750 and ?ir00. 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.
