There Is approximately 1.000.000 seres In the Willamette Valley water shed, and 3.000.000 acres in the floor of the valley, including adjacent low foothills. To say that I.OOO.OOO acres In this valley will be under irriga tion In the next twenty years is not an extravagant statement. The pro ject under construction contemplates the Irrigation of 20.000 acres In Mar lon County, and there are five other projects In contemplation which will be undertaken If the first attempt is successful. Knowing many of the men behind this first enterprise, and being acquainted with the lands, I hare no fear as to a successful out VALLEY HAS WATER. The Wills met te Valley Is better supplied with water for irrigation purposes than any other valley In Oregon, and there are practically no natural obstacles to overcome In the diversion of this water. Where stor age I" not required, land favorably situated should be Irrigated at a cost ranging from $15 to $25 per acre, or. It will not be necessary for the farmer to await the construction of a large project to supply water by grav ity flow, for It Is believed that an abundance of water can be had by sinking a bored well to sn under ground water stratum which has been tapped In places ranging from 100 to 159 below the surface. Thla water Is said to be under sufficient pressure to bring it within ten to twenty-five feet of the surface. Drainage In some districts should go band In hand with irrigation. The quick removal of excessive spring moisture would prevent waterlogging of the ground and Increase by sev ers! weeks the length of the growing season. In other districts the drain- due to irrigation. The Increase of yield in thia case was 240 per cent, less than one acre foot of water 11.42 acre inches) was applied to pro duce thia remarkable result at a total annual cost of $10.83 per acre. At an average price of $1 per ton for auch feed, the net protlt due to Irrigation would amount to $3? per acre, or 342 per cent on the money actually in vested to secure such increased yield. If this water had been applied by grav ity canal at a first cost of $25 per acre, the actual profit in this case would amount to 858 per cent of, the money invested, including 6 per cent on first cost, maintenance at $1 per acre, and distribution of water esti mated at $2.50 per acre. From three cuttings of irrigated clover 10.2 tons were secured, as com pared with 4 3 tona from two cuttings of unlrrigated clover, or a gain of 5.9 tons. This is an Increase of 133 per cent due to the application of 9.9 acre Inches of water at a total annual cost of $10 per acre. The clover waa weighed when partly cured. At $4 per ton-the net profit due to this In crease of yield would amount to $133.55 per acre, or 135 per .cent of the annual cost. By gravity canal the net profit due to irrigation could be In creased to $18.55 per acre, or 371 per cent of the annual coat. POTAT0E CROP IS DOUBLED. By applying 5.35 acre Inchea of wa ter to a potato crop, 140 bushels of potatoes were secured, aa compared with 60 bushels per sere from s simi larly situated unirrigated field. This gain of 84 bushels per acre, or 150 per cent, was secured at a total an nual cost for Irrigation of $5.56. At 50 centa per bushel, the net profit due to irrigation amounted to $36.46, or 656 per cent of the cost of producing auch results. Accepting the above figures as a correct Index as to what can be ac complished In the Willamette Valley through Irrigation, It Is easy to fig ure how the farmer could well afford to borrow, even at 10 pes cent In terest, all the money to Install an Ir rigation system. The increase in land values would more than offset such cost. As such Information accumu lates and with a few successful pro jects constructed. It Is easy to con ceive such a boom in Irrigated lands age through the porous gravelly sub- ' , the Willamette Valley that It. pop- " .7 r 1 . UUB V ulatlon will be Increased ten fold In e near future. It seems to me that the commercial organizations of the state could take up no line of promotion which would yield greater returns In Increased population than by promoting the Idea of irrigation in this beautiful valley It has no greater population per square mile than many dry farming communities of the arid region. Irrl gallon will therefore do aa much for us aa It will in such communities. With our low elevation, mild win ters, long, dry growing season, con venience of rail and water transpor tation and accessibility to the markets of the world, I predict a most rapid development for this valley through the adoption of this new method of agriculture. considered of but little value under ,he near future jiicwui cunuiuuns. 1 nese lanaa, when Irrigated, will become the most valuable. For many years grain growing has been the leading Industry of the val ley, all of which Is In private owner ship. The average farm Is '"probably 320 acres In extent, the tendency be ing to Increase, rather than decrease such area, because of the diminished yield due to constant cropping. Di versified farming has been urged of late as a remedy, but this Is possibly only on selected lands which are re tentive of moisture, or those which receive moisture through sublrrlga-, tlon. It is not contended that Irriga tion Is necessary for all crops, for deep-rooted plants, such as orchards, are not affected by the long, dry sum mer. But for truck garden, alfalfa, clover, small fruits snd vegetables, Ir rigation in reasonable quantities Is ab solutely necessary for the highest yield. DAIRYING TO BE LEADER. Dairying Is destined to become the leading Industry because of the mild, open winters. The most serious ob stacle, however, is the long, dry sum mer, when It Is necessary to carry the herd on dry feed, the same as during tne winter months In the Bast Hotel Arrivals.
