S. FOX, Secretary PRINEVILLE, OREGON a A big project is that just launched by the Deschutes Rim rock Power company, which plans tho expenditure of $9,000, 000 in developing electric energy mi the Lower Deschutes and op erating pumping plants with it Lo lift water onto the semi-arid lands lying near the Columbia river. This concern,, capitalized or $1,000,000. has interested English capitalists in the plan and British money will be avail able within 90 days to start the work. It is expected to be irri gating 15,000 acres within 18 months and more land will prob ably be added later. This is thought to bo the big gest investment of foreign cap ital ever made in the Pacific Northwest, exclusive of the trans continental railroads. It is also the greatest individual power project in the Pacific Northwest. But it is nevertheless essentially an irrigation scheme, which can be carried out only by pumping water from one river on to thirsty lands through the power furnish ed by the swiftly flowing waters of another stream. The com pany just formed will harness the Deschutes near its mouth and the project contemplates the development of a maximum of 140,000 horse power. POULTRY EXPERIMENTS BY COLLEGE PROFESSOR Believes That Birds Pastured on Stub bio Fields Will Add to Profits of Poultry Raisers Believing that Oregon farmers can add materially to their poul try profits by keeping the birds pastured a while on the waste grain of the stubble fields, Prof. James Dryden of the Oregon Agricultural College has inaugu rated an interesting experiment near Moro. In a colony of ten white can vas tents he has housed 500 white Plymouth Rocks, and will keep them there six weeks, keeping accurate record of the weights and gains made. Movable fences are used, and the tents are on frames at the bottom, on run ners, so that they can be moved readily as fast as the chickens clean up the waste grain on one part of the field and need new foraging ground. "The point is to determine how much poultry flesh we can make from the waste grain on a given area with a given number of birds in any certain space of time, at the least expense," said Prof. Dryden, discussing the experi ment. "In going through the Portland markets I was struck with the poor quality of the the chickens sent in there by the farmers of the state. They were so largely bone, with very little meat on them. I believe that they could be kept a little longer to good advantage financially, if the farmers would put them out on the stubble fields, where there are always quantities of waste grain to bo picked up. I am sure there could be added a pound or two apiece to the weight of each bird in good solid flesh, bringing a much better price, and that with almost no financial outlay. We are feeding nothing but a lit tle animal food beef scrap from the slaughter houses and this would not be necessary it' there were grasshoppers and other bugs in the fields."
