The Southern Pacific tympany has
issued a bulletin on "Well Irrigation
for Small Farms," which deals uluio.4
I entirely w ith Oregon. The following
is the introduction of the bulletin,
which may bo obtained by address
ing William Mr Murray of the com
pany in Portland.
j Western and southern Oregon at
the present time being in close eou
! nection with Portland, the chief re
I eciying and distributing mnrkbet
north of California, form the most
I important regions in Oregon for tho
j fostering and encouragement of in
j tensified and diversified fanning.
! Such can bo best achieved through
j the establishment of small farms sup
' plied with wells for the utilization
' upon the soil of the abundant water
I which has an ever ceaseless flow
i through the subsoil from the eiitch
1 incut area of the enclosing mountain
! ranges. During the four dry months
'of summer, the rainfull upon the rich
i valley lands is wholly inadequate to
supply the moisture necessary for
; raising the amount of annual pro
'. dnec which the land is capable of
yielding under careful tillage.
! Western Oregon the Willamette
' valley contains the largest urea of
rich laiul. outside of the combined
: San Joauin and Sacramento vaileys,
i on the entire Pacific coast and Rocky
! mountain states and territories of
I North America. The United States
I department of agriculture informs us
that the gross area of this valley
! amounts to 12.500 square miles, or
i 8.000,000 news. Of this area about
; 5000 square miles, or :i.200,000 acres.
' JO twit font. 1110 available for til
lage. Portions of this valley have
been under cultivation by pioneer set
tlers during the past GO years, and
Portland owes its present status
; mainly to the products from the field
and forest within this valley.
Southern Oregon contains the rich
lands of the Umpqim river within
Donglus county and those of the
Rogue river within Jackson and Jo
sephine counties. The lormer eon
tains an area of 2278 square miles, or
1.4.-8.000 acres, of which 200,0011
acres are suitable for small farms.
The latter contains 1883 square miles
or 1.205,000 acres, of which 15.000
acres can bo established in small

' 3,550,000 acres
Assuming the assessed valuation of
these lands at the present time to
average $11 per new. the gross ag
gregate value should be $30,000,000.
The future increase in value, due to
subdivision into small farms, with the
supply of water from wells on parts
of- the land for summer crops, con
sisting of hay, corn, vegetables, al
falfa and fruits, will surely amount
to $100,000,000.
With such farms, averagings 10
acres each, the above total area of.
valley lands would create 88,000 in
number, and n farming iopiiliilion of
250,000 outside of the towns. The
Willumette valley within n radius of
100 miles of Portland would absorb
00 per cent of this estimated small
farm area and population.
This paper does not concern the
orcsent large farms upon which only
one crop of grain or hay, dependent
upon the yearly rainfall, is raised
except to show the owners how much
more valuable their land would In
come if divided into small farms with
water (hereon and summer crops secured.
If thev did not care to sell Ihev
1 could find good renters. A very
i comfortable living can be relied on
j from the careful tillage of small
! farms supplied with water from wells
! al a small cost compared with (lie
nun-Vet and home values of (he pro
I dime- Willi manure from their live
stock and poultry, the farmers could
enrich the land far more tluiil is now
done on the largo farms. Tho busi-
nc.-s of the small farmer would bu
the supply of cream, eggs, poultry,
pork, beef, mutton, veal, hay, fruits
and vegetables to the I 'oil In nil and!
local markets. The grain, clover, al-'
fulfil, corn and silo products, roots
and milk would be consumed on the
farm. II the above mentioned prod
ucts find a ready cash demand in the
Portland market, but wheat, barlev
and oats, now the main products of
the large farms, being exports, are
subject to the everfliictiiatiug prices
of the I,iveriool and Chicago mar
kets. Old-fashioned farmers in the valley
have Hie erroneous idea that water
on tho land during the summer bakes
and injures the soil. This cnnnol
arise if proper tillage and careful
drainage be employed. riven the so
called "white lands" and hardpan
near the surface in (ho valley can be
cured of these defects by deep tillage
and a proper system of local drain
age, and the cultivation of deep-root
ed plants, such as vetches and yar
row. I have seen thousunds of acres
of similar land in India cured by like
treatment and rendered highly pro
dilutive IjV irrigation. Water in a
stagnant condition on the land is in
jurioiis during warm weather, but wa
ter in constant movement through
flow and seepage never injures land
or crop. I have seen . porous and
sanadv lands in the vicinity of large
cities and towns utilized and made
highly profitable by irrigating them
with the sewage flow, and such lauds
were not offensive and unlicalthfiil.
