I- 1 m I J J The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Thursday Blorning, August 29, 1929 - PAGE THREE v FAB AIDED BY IICATIO Polk County Growers Found Benefitted by Water In Dry Season DALLAS, Aujr. 28. Irrigation in relation to Increased agricul tural activities has not been deem ed a necessity In counties of the Willamette valley. Several farm ers In Polk county however have found that Irrigation projects aid materially In Increased profits. S. M. Ray of the Elklns district Is- perhaps the pioneer and most experienced of those Irrigating in the county. For several years he has beea Irrigating his garden and 13 acre! field of evergreen black berriesMr. Ray estimates that he has Increased his yield one ton per acre each year, as well as Improv ing the quality of his crop. Water for Irrigation Is taken from the Lucklamute with a four inch cen trifugal pump, is lifted nearly 20 feet at the rate of 400 gallons per minute. It takes about 64 days to Irrigate the 13 acres, a six inch tin pipe being used to carry the Crater, additional Joints being add ed until the water has reached the fartherest part of the field, when It is removed to another row, and bo on until the entire field has been gone over. Water is first run On about July 15, and again a month later. A few miles further up the Lucklamute, N. A. Nelson has also started to irrigate his farm. He uses a Fordson tractor with which to drive a four inch centrifugal pump, which has a lift of 15 feet and delivers from 400 to 600 gal lons" per minute. Mr. Nelson is developing his ir rigation project for the benefit of a planting of alfalfa of 3 acres, part of which was planted in late June, the balance a few days ago. The water will be used to germin ate and start the crop. Water Is carried to the fields by means of an open ditch and onto the fields by smaller ditches two feet apart, these are called "corrugations" by Mr. Nelson, and may not be used later In the season. If flood Irri gation Is used when the alfalfa ts firmly established. A larger acre age will be prepared for Irrigation this fall and next season. "W. O. Morrow and S. H. Robin son whose farms are along the La Creole (Rickreall) also use irri gation for alfalfa and root crops, and find it profitable to do so. Along the Willamette river irriga tion systems have been Installed by the E. C: Horst Co., and Mc Laughlin yards for Increased hop production, several hundred acres being irrigated by pumping. The closeness of land to such a stream as the Willamette river or other available water supply It is expected will cause the use of Irri gation to develop rapidly, within the next few years. A survey of the ground water of the Willam ette valley is - underway at the present time, and may show that the use of wells will be practica ble as a source of supply for irri gation! Water rights are a natural her itage and the advantage of secur ing them for development of irri gation in the near future should not be overlooked by those in close proximity to such a source. &PKB OF 1847 :- in nu i rn nrv III ID UnLLCU DC!

'S FARM INTERESTING Another farm of interest to pi oneers In the Salem dsitrict is that of Charles Purvine in Spring Valley. In early days this was known as the Clayborp Walk er farm and in 187 Mr. Walk er buift a beau tiful home on there. The house was on a knoll overlook ing . the valley and facing to ward the east. This house was burned in 1921 and the Mrs. Callin new home is on the same loca tion. This is one of the most beautiful and modern farm homes in the Salem district. A large spring on the hill west of the house provides water for the farm, runs the electric plant and irrigates 40 acres of land. That the spring is remarkable is proven by the fact that with all this drain It never lowers its wa ter level, even In the driest months of the summer. There are now 243 acres of land in the farm, 150 acres of this is " tillable land and devoted to hay, grain and fruit. In one or chard are 500 pear trees and ev ery variety of fruit is grown on the place. The lawn and gardens around the Purvine home are particu larly lovely and Mrs. Purvine is especially successful with flowers. Among the many kinds of blos soms to he found on the place are 40 different varieties of chry santhemums. Two black walnut trees and one chestnut tree form the southern border of the lawn. At this side is a lily pool, rock walled and with a playing fountain in the center. Here are gold fish, water lilies and water iris. Between the rocks that form the wall are Iris and various rock plants. Every thing seems to grow particularly well on the. farm, especially flow ers and trees. Mrs. Purvine is a great lover of flowers and each season of flower bloom finds the garden a mass of color. Guests are many at the Pur vine home ayd the beauty of the place and .the hospitality of its owners make it very4jopular with all who are so fortunate as to be ntertained there. o o Clear Lake Mrs. Milo Harnett.
