Til OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, FRIDAY EVENING. DECEMBER 3, IDII i I OREGOIl'S APPLE FI10ME MB I' Novices Do Not Apply -Com-! morr Sense to Irrigation Methods, Says F.H. Newell, Reclamation Director. . There is danger that Oregon will loss l a hard earned reputation for fine fruit unless irrigation Is conducted on a more , commctn sense basis, declares Director '". Y. H. Newell or the reclamation servic i in hia report - on his recent Journey through the wesi which ,ha Just been made public. ' "In Oregon," reads Director Newell's. report; "there has been an excess of enthusiasm on the subject of horticul 1 turel production, particularly of apples, because of the notable success of some of the enterprises particularly those, in Hood River. As a result thousands of . acres of orchards have been set out in . all parte of the state and under all con ' ditions of soil, climate and drainage. No returns can be expected from some of ' these nevf orchards for a number of years and the question arises as to how .- the men planting them can make a llv , lng up to the time that the orchards .. come into bearing. In some cases crops are raised between the rows of young . trees by intercultlvation and consider able returns realized from potatoes and , other vegetables. (tany Possible Blunders. si "There are certain dangers to the or chard connected with this intercultiva- tlon, as the soil may be robbed in part i of the fertility needed by the trees.' f Clean cultivation on the other-hand, proceeds Director Newell, may burn out .vn Humus. 'Forage crops frequently do well. The unskilled settler under prea- ent conditions Is apt to make any. one f of a series of serious blunders. Added ' to this is the fact that horticultural ex i perts do not expect one out of ten trees planted to be commercially valuable. - The director of the reclamation serv , Ice advises serious and scientific study of soil conditions. Turning his attcn tlon direct .... to Irrigated orchards he ;;vsays: - "Much of the land on projects in Ore ,. ,gon is being set out in orchards and It Is found that one of the most immedi ate sources of danger to these orchards is the application of too much water, producing large, highly colored fruit, ' but of poor texture, unfitted for ship ment. ' Samples of such fruit, which has ' been rejected in eastern markets Indigestion Gas and Misery VANISH A 50c Box of MI-O-NA Stom ach Tablets Will Keep Your Stomach Feeling Fine All the Time Relief in Five Minutes. and sent back for examination, reveal, the fact that the fruit has been de stroyed by excessive irrigation. In fact, there is danger that Oregon will lose its hard earned reputation unless greater care, is exercised in applying water; to the orchards. The lacge purchasers of fruit are now insisting upon the rule that the owner must not pack the fruit, but that the picking, selecting and pack lng shall be done by outside experts. The condition is such that it Is alleged 20 per cent of the fruits-crop has .been lost from physiological defects." ; That it is high risk to engage first in orcharding is further stated by Director Newell. lie also says that settlers try to "raise 'delicate crops which they have had no previous experience with. . ' - , i Tb Wiser Way. . , ' "It will be better," be says, "'on these new irrigation -projects If the settlers could, be induced, to try the sago, rela tively sure crops ' and I especially the raising of forage which -can be fed to the cattle, sheep and hogs on the farm, bringing Up the fertility as some of tnese soils pust be made valuable by long sustained work. The water holding capacity? of many of these must also be Increased at the ame time that humus and nitrogen: are supplied," further m his report Director Newell insists' that he'V man knowing; least about it' is apt to make horticulture a raa, and he says that man would pros per more if he raised the forage crops which are "marketed Inside the hide of a steer or hog, or In the milk pall or butter fat." In other words the highest economy is reached by consuming the forage on the farm and selling it in the most concentrated form. Director Newell says in general com ment on series of : conferences which he held With irrigation managers that the greatest needs are: "How to find the name and address of the man who really desires a small' farm,; H6w to sift out of the thousands of names thus obtained those persons who are presumably "competent to make a success. How to gain the confidence of the latter and to make valuable sug gestions to them. How to test the vari ous agencies or individuals who are of fering opportunities to determine whether the lands offered are suitable for small farms and homes How to get the in formation concerning these lands to the persons who are seeking them. .How to eliminate the agencies that are known or suspected to be untrustworthy,'? Further conferences liave been held determine ways of putting irrigation projects on a common sense, productive oasis where the ordinary man can suc ceed, so that irrigation securities will not go -begging as at present due to lack of confidence. - Probably your . stomach is upset and .needs attention; that's about all that alls most people.
