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

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.
