PAGE TWENTY The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Friday; Morning, July 14, 1939 Polk Farmers See Irrigation Practical ' Applications on Actual Use on Farms . Viewed on Tour DALLAS A series ol lrrtgar tlon meetings on various Polk county farms Tuesday and Wed nesday attracted good attend ance among farmers considering It is the beginning of grain har vest season. W. C. Leth, county agent and Arthur S. King, OSC irrigation specialist, led the meetings. The meetings began on the Paul Freeman farm. Here a new Irrigation project has been developed -which uses a centrifu gal pump with a 10 horse power motor pumping water from the Yamhill river which borders the farm. -.. Approximately 10,00' feet of concrete pipe are used to raise the water to a high point from which between 100 and ISO acres can . be irrigated - by ths flood method. At the T. J. Werth farm, a high pressure sprinkler system has - been In operation for two years. The Yamhill river Is the source of water and a five horse pvwer ucvuw , uiuiui is uscu. Potatoes, alfalfa, ladino clover ni other rrnn are heinc- Irri gated to advantage. . ?- This .Installation represents a special feature In that all elec tricity used comes through the minimum rate because it is used in connection with the regular house and farm installation. A portable pump and motor set-up Is an Interesting part of this project. The Mike Branch farm south of Tedee on the Lucklamute river, Irrigates red clover from which be is planning to take a seed crop. . ; . Trailer Carries Plant J The power plant on this farm is a new automobile engine mounted on a sp e c i a 1 t-ailer ! making a very ' compact power pumping unit which is used on seYeral different fa.rmn Tin ft 35 high pressure sprinklers can be operated at once and it is used in irrigating about 100 acres of potatoes along with other crops. At Helmick park a stop of special , interest to . small fruit growers ; was the Toy Miller farm at which botlt high and low pressure sprinklers were ob served in operation. The low pressure sprinklers - are about the latest development in irri gation, being used this season for the first time. This sprinkler does not re volve as do other sprinklers. It also operates on less than halt the amount of pressure. Mr. Miller's berry plantings of Boysenberrles, blackberries and others, : as well as some truck crops, make one of the most at tractive plantings in small fruit farming to be found In the Wil lamette valley. Lifts Water -OO Feet The last farm visited was that of Nelson Anderson south of Buena Vista, and according to information available, this is the project employinc the high est lift of any in Polk county.' - Water is delivered at a point approximately 230 feet above the level of the Willamette river by means of an automobile en gine, which burns stove oil, and a large centrifugal pump. A new seeding of Ladino clo ver now being pastured for the first time is the first use made of the irrigation water by An derson of the 100 or more acres that he eventually plans to in clude, f . , Many problems were brought out at these meetings and those who attended learned that irri gation is now practical where it was sot five years ago. Many who attended were of the opinion that irrigation In stallations costing as much as 50 or more per acre can be very profitable. j "Wrong Way" But Right Girl .v ,, , v , , J X-v "- ' : :-.

Bulletin Tells of Sudan Grass Crop Whenever Oregon has had winter and spring growing con ditions so that normal forage crops are seriously damaged, there is an increase in the plant ing of sudan grass, which is planted late and hence can be used for an emergency crop. Of lcte years, however, the use of sudan grass and the related millets and sorghums has at tained somewhat more than an emergency status. While these crops are yet of relatively minor importance, enough interest has been shown in them so that the agricultural experiment station at Oregon State college has just issued station bulletin No. 361 entitled "Sudan Grass, Millets and Sor ghums in Oregon." In this bulle tin H. A. Schoth and H. H. Rampton, federal agronomists stationed at the college, sum marize a considerable amount of information which has been ob tained through growing these crops experimentally in various parts of the state. The authors estimate that in 1936 approxi mately 2000 acres of sudan grass were grown in Oregon, which amount was doubled in 193? Some increase in production is warranted, they believe, particu larly for late summer pasture.
