Institution That Puts the Money
in Circulation Here
DurinK t ho past two y»> in» that ! h*ve lH*en in business
in Redmond I have made it a point to buy cattle, sheep and
hogs from the local producers.
During this tinu* I have paid
out in the neighborhood of ( ¿ ‘>,000.
All this money has gone
into circulation in the immodiate vicinity of Redmond, and
this amount of money has been distributed among the differ
ent business places of Kednion I.
This is an object lesson.
It has been my policy all the wav through, since 1 have
been in business here, to boost for our own town and put the
money in circulation where it would do the most good.
(jetting back to the meat proposition, I desire to state
right here that the Redmond Meat Market will give the best
service and variety that the country will afford.
Thanking the people of Redmond and vicinity for their
IMttronage in the past and assuring them that we will attend
to their wants satisfactorily in the future ns in the past, we
invite their patronage.

Irrigation has its advantages and
its disadvantages. XX'ith water avail-
ble for application to the crops when
they need it and the application of
the proper amounts at the proper
time, farming becomes more of a
science and we have diminished the
number of elements beyond our con
trol by one. XX'ith available water
and the proper use of it. we may for
get the "dry" and the "wet’* seasons
of the humid sections of the country
and their attendant worries
XX’hen
we have discovered the crops best
adapted to our soil and climate, we
can, with the proper use of water,
and proper cultivation and handling
of the land, insure a maximum pro
duction.
Among the disadvantages of irri
gation is the evil effects of the mis
use of water. This misuse of water
may apply to methods or amounts
used on a particular erop. which
might decrease the production of
that particular crop. The more im
portant point in the misuse of water,
however, is the effect produced upon
the soil Itself, of course thus direct
ly affecting the crops growing or to
be grown upon that soil. The use of
too little water on the land has only
the effect of a "dry season” in the
humid section and does not material
ly affect the soil or its capacity for
growing vegetation, although the
production Of the crop at the tftue
upon the land may be noticeably cut
short.
It is tbe use of too much water
upon the land that does the great
and more permanent damage. The
character and extent of the harm to
be done depends not only upon the
soil itself, but also upon the sub-soil
and the strata below. In the sandy
soil with a deep, coarse sub-soil and
no impervious strata below, probably
the least harm is done through this
"waste" of water. On such land, the
available plant food will simply be
washed out. down and beyond the
reach of the plant roots. In the
shallow and heavier soils with an Im
pervious sub-sotl. probably the most
harm Is done. Here, the soil spaces
are filled with water, the plant roots
can get no air. the soil becomes sour
and parked and dries out very quick
ly as soon as the water is taken off
the surface. A soil of any mixture
or variation of the two types above
mentioned will be correspondingly
injuriously affected. Under ordinary
circumstances there are no good re
sults to be obtained by the use of
large quantities of water on any soil
The majority of our soils in this
section are at least comparatively
shallow. In our irrigated sections,
we can already find some surface al
kali and some sour soils There are
few of theee spots to be found at
present, but both are the result of
the use of too much wster on the
land and the number and size of such
spots will
increase on our lands
wherever and whenever we use too
much water lu irrigation, most esp«>-
