If His Land Suffers from Drouth or Lacks Water for Irrigating Wheo Small Stream Is Near, by Says Robert Washburn. ' "It is the farmer's own fault, if, in these days of scientific discovery, he does not reap all the returns he should from bis land, be it located wherever or however it may, in or without the rain belt, bo Iocs as thcro is a email stream with a Blight fall nearby." Such was the remark the other day of Mr. Robert Waehburn, a man of wide experience in agriculture, horticulture and individual irrigation .enterprises throughout the great Pacific Nortkweet, being at present an extensive owner and 'operator of Rogue river land. "Devastation to crops as a result of droughts and barrenness of land from lack of water are two evils that can easily be overcome," continued Mr. Washburn, "if the flow of a little stream is only utilized by any one of the modern mechanical devices now be ing mede for just such work and al ready accomplishing for many the de sired results. The simplest and most inexpensive of these devices for elevat ing the water of a stream to a higher level is, perhaps the hydraulic ram. It is a self-pumping engine that is rap idly fulfilling the need of the farmer and small irrigationist for a sure scheme of getting out of their land all those bountiful returns yielded where water is plentiful."
