It is by Prof. A. G .B. Bouquet, of the Oregon Agricultural College, who is editor of the Garden Department of the Homestead. Of course, the ar ticle was written before the abundant rains of this week. But it is timely nevertheless, and it will do a lot of rood in future years. We did not get our ''usual June rains" last year or the vear before, nor enough ot them the year before that. We do get them In most years. Brit we may not get them next year. The forehanded farmer and gardener in the Salem section is going to make sure ot his rrtm. not nearly every year, but verv year. He cannot do this with "not nrovidine himself with some kind of an irrigation system. This is worth its price, if regarded only in the light of insurance. All prudent owners of building Insure; all thrifty men Insure their lives; and ait such men will Insure their crops. Professor Bouquet, where he refers . to the ''grounds here," means the Agricultural college grounds. Following is bis article, which every man In the Willamette vaney ssnt some recourse to water for Irriga tion. . For myself I would not think M embarking in the growing of a var ied line of vegetables without in vesting some money in equipment for watering the soil. I am not consid ering some of the heavier types ot soil such as the bottoms ana tne beaverdam types which in themselves are capable of holding a great amount of moisture even If the wea ther Is abnormally dry. but have in mind the great area of sandy loam soils and the slit loams that stretch throughout all of the western part of the state. The one single factor that, stands between your crop and success is the amount of moisture that is in the soli. All the fertility that may be In it naturally and all that may be added through commercial fertilizer Is of little value if there Is a taea ot moisture to make that food avail able for the plant. Consequently the investment along this line Is made ith a certain element of risk if one cannot back It up with some so.t of watering. Vegetables are largely composea of water and respond greatly even to limited applications that may be made from time to time. Often one or two waterings during a period ot " . . -nt r. or two 1 suggestions,. ii nu. ""'"" ..,.. with some irrigation system:) it'... Oiia rf tho Prime Factors In Vegetable Gardening. " Thin nresent growing season, dry as it is. in accordance with the sea- anna of the oast few years, is demon strating again that it, is not easy to grow a big quantity ot vegetables of ih. nt nualitv on the ordinary loam Willamette valley without success. Vegetaable growers who have wa tering apparatus installed for their rrnn have them nractlcally Insured and these growers reap the benefit of the higher prices that prevail dur ing the dry seasons, in many cases paying for the cost of the outfit the first year. Yon can grow more vegetables on five acres with water than you very often can grow On 25 without water, and the quality of the watered crops will be very much better, than those unlrrigated. 1 would prefer to limit the scale ot operations with the wa ter rather than spread over the wider area without the use of the same. Irrigate That Farm Garden. In this section, at least, there Is every indication that the usual amount of moisture in the soil will be depleted much earlier than usual this year. There is one portion of the farm that will give good return for the irrigation ot the same and that is the vegetable area. On most farms there is a supply ot water in suffi cient amount so that a portion of it could be profitably used on some ot the more important vegetables such as cabbage, tomatoes, onions, lettuce, sweet corn, beans, and other truck that may be growing In a fenced-in piece ot ground near the water tower. All of these crops will give big returns for even one irrigation If it is done right and good cultiva tion Is kept up after the watering. An example of the value ot water on certain vegetables and smau fruits Is to be observed right at this time on the grounds here. Tomato plants that have been protected at night and which dnrlng the dry wea ther have had some water during the day and which have been hoed at least once are showing a nice green color, are standing 18 inches high and have a few small tomatoes on the vines already. These plants would not have taken a hold so ous vegetables, being confined In small furrows which have been pre viously made by a shovel plow or by a post turned on edge and drawn along side of the crop which It is wished to be watered. It Is usually necessary to make a furrow on one side of the vegetable only for this amount of water will permeate the ground for several inches from the furrow Itself. An Important thing to be cared for is to see that the water Is confined to the furrows In which It Is sup- nosed to travel. The slope of the ground should be such to give Just a slight fall tor the water. Any slopping over the sides ot the fur rows will cause a lot ot extra work later on In cultivating. If the garden area Is practically level the furrows can be made deep er at one end than at the other, tans nrovldlnc for the necessary fall in the row. There is a tendency when Irrlgat Inr by the furrow plan to turn the water out of one furrow or another before a sufficient amount has gone down to the bottom roots of the veg etable. It Is best to give the plants a thorough soaking while the water- Inr is being done. Hundreds of farm gardens in the western nart of the state woua ap preciate a little irrigation daring the Arr aeason. In many cases the wa ter supply Is ample to take care ot the needs of the vegetables. v nai i lacking is consideration by the farmer that the area Is worth the tim and energy necessary to do the job. and the best manner under the eirrn instances ol going auer iu Vegetables that particularly appre- OUR LANDS OUGHT TO GROW WHAT THEY i CAN GROW BEST, AND A DIVERSITY, TOO Kmjht Pearcy Snj jests That Our Fanners Should Protide Crops Whose Harrest Seise Follow One Another, and Thus SoWe Their Help Problems and Not Carry All Their Er in One Basket 7H0 CAN DESCRIBE THE SCENERY OF MARION COUNTY?

The re sults obtained repay many times over the labor and trouble in watering. Even if you have to carry water in the bucket for several vegetables In the garden the work will be amply repaid provided the soli has been reasonably well fertilized in the spring before planting. But better than that very often the water can be led to the rows ot one vegetable or another simply by laying off some (The author of the following arti cle, kindly written by Mr. Pearcy for this Salem Slogan edition ot The Statesman, devoted to Land.

They are experts in this line. with a thorough training developed by both theoretical study and prac tical application:) By Knight Pearcy To a very great extent the success of a farming venture In the Willam ette valley depends upon choosing the particular crops that are adapted to a given soil or to a given situation. This Is especially true la growiag fruits. During the great planting boom of ten years ago thousands ot acres ab solutely unsulted to such purposes. were planted to fruits la the north west. We have walnut orchards growing In locations where frost ruts them back regularly, apple orchards growing or attempting to grow on white lands where their roots are la the water all winter and cherries and prunes growing on soils too vfa to produce fruit of good size. We know ot one apple planting or over COO acres that I soffered for sale at 75 dollars per acre, the valae of the land less the cost of removing the trees. This planting Is on wet land that formerly raised fine crops ot hay but which during the past six or seven years has been withdrawn from production ot all kinds dae to the planting of the fruit trees there on. The Investors who financed the Diamine have lost everything that they put into it and the community has lost that amount ot pro-perrty that would have been contributed to It had thia tract been growing crops to which it waa adapted. Economic loss will result to the community as well as a direct finan cial loss to the lavestor when crops are planted on lands aad la locatloas not adapted to their best growth. Many new settlers are eomlag to the Willamette valley to Invest la farm and orchard properties. Their success or failure will depend largely Pa their selection ot the proper situa tions for growing their chosen crops. Success on their part will mean la creased prosperity tor this valley, hence It ts ot Interest to the com munity that they be given all aasle- poasihle la getting taace right. The Willamette valley will t successfully a wide range of prod acts. hops, berries, asts. fruits, grains, vegetables. However no sin gle farm in the valley will grow all tbee to perfection.
