" Also News, Comedy and Musical Act Z7 the trip ended in Clackamas O Attendance y e s t e r d a y was nearly equal to that of the day before, making this tour the larg est in the nine years these have been conducted by the extension service of Oregon State college. A new feature introduced yesterday was a sound truck furnished by the Portland. General Electric company which enable speakers to reach all of those in the crowd with ease. Well irrigation where ground water is abundant as contrasted with that where supplies are lim ited was seen by visitors during the three stops in this county. Beth types of wells are being used successfully, though different sys tems of applying the water are used. Ground Water Limited At the cottage farm of the state hospital a successful 40-acre la dino clover pasture has been es tablished through the use of a well that yields only 150 gallons aminute. A sprinkler system handles this amount economically, pointed out Art King, extension soils specialist in charge of the tour. . Gound water supplies in that area are likely to be limited, geologists pointed out. From Chemawa north, on the other hand, ground water sup plies are abundant and large ca pacity wells are operating. Much interest was shown in the use of the water from the Oregon Agri cu 1 1 u r a 1 Research Foundation well near Gervais which is now! furnishing water for the Stanley Duda farm. This well yields more than 900 gallons a minute. Cars lined the highway for nearly a half mile when a stop was made at the Robert Harper farm a half mile this side of Ger vais, where he is watering pas ture, orchard and general crops with pumped well water. In Clackamas county stops were made at the Staehley Bros, dairy farm and at the L. L. Parmenter place where water was pumped from streams to Irrigate pasture and truck crops. Exceptional Interest in irriga tion has developed this year be cause or the extremely dry sum mer, reports Harry Riches, county agent, who says many farmers are definitely planning installations of farm systems to have ready for next year.
