llend Bulletin: Rapid progress la
being made with the construction of
the North Canal dam. a mile below
town. With the railroad spur com­
pleted. heavy machinery is being In­
stalled. among which Is a big stone
crusher which has been set up this
week, and will supply material for
the concrete.
The completion of the dam will
create a lake some «0 feet deep In
places, which will reach nearly to the
foot of the rapids below the Bend
Company's dam. making a quiet
stretch of water more than half a
mile long. While trout fishermen
will be sorry to see the fine fishing
rimes vanish, those who wish to use
canoes and boats will have a splen­
did play ground provided for them.
H. D. Scudder, Agronomist of the
Oregon Agricultural College and Ex­
periment Station, has sent out the
following "open letter” to farmers,
for publication In the newspapers of
the county:
The two demonstration farms re­
cently located In Crook county are
rapidly being put into operation, the
early seeding being practically com­
pleted. A great many varieties of
seed of many different crops have
been secured from all parts of the
I'nited States. What special mach­
inery and scientific equipment Is re­
quired. is now in transit to these
farms.
Soon the late seeding will begin,
guide boards put up explaining the
work being carried on in each field,
and as the crops appear above the
ground these two farms will come
into full operation.
The work on these two demon­
stration farms, however, is really on­
ly a minor part of the program to be
carried out by the representatives of
the Oregon Agricultural College in
their endeavor to assist the farm­
ers and new settlers of Crook coun­
ty. The college authorities wish
and are determined If it is In any
way possible, to reach every farmer
in the county immediately.
This
step is the establishment of co-oper­
ative fields in each Important sec­
tion of the county.
These fields
may be only front one-half an acre
to five acres in size, but if establish­
ed In each of the Important farming
communities of the county they will
be the local center for the advisory
and Instructional work of the college
experts.
To get this co-operative
work started at once It is desired
that every farmer who Is anxious to
see some demonstratlou work In his
neighborhood started and take care
of it under the instruction of the
college authorities, make this known
at once by letter or In person to the
superintendents of the demonstra­
tion farms.
Those located In the dry farming
sections should address themselves
to the superintendent of the college
dry land demonstration farm at Me-
tolius, and those farmers located In
the irrigated section should address
themselves to Superintendent Pow­
ers of the college Irrigation demon­
stration farm at Redmond.
Ki*h in Flume
When the Swalley flume was shut
off last week a considerable number
of trout were found in it. much to
the satisfaction of the crews. While
many of the fish were caught, hun­
dreds passed down the ditch before
It was dry. ultimately dying In the
irrigated
fields.
Although
fish
screens, required by law, were main­
tained at the intake of the flume, it
is evident, say the engineers, that
they either were Improperly design­
ed or had breaks.
The dam crew now Includes 120
men. This number will soon be In­
creased to 170.
