SILVERTON. Irrigation and
its benefits in the Willamette val
ley were discussed at a fanners'
meeting of the Silverton chamber
of commerce by Arthur King, ex
tension soil specialist from; Oregon
State college, Wednesday night.
S. P. Rose, chamber of commerce
president, greeted the visitors at
the door and Glen Price! served
as chairman of the program be-:
fore a large audience.
In discussing irrigation, Mr.
King said that many people were
saying tnat summers here were
now more dry than they were
some years ago. According to
King, this Is a fallacy. He said he
had made a study of weather rec
ords for 80 years and the average
rainfall differed very little. The
wettest summer on record, he
reported, was in 1916 and the
, wettest June on record was just
a couple of years ago.
In the past ten years, King
said, irrigation in Oregon had
jumped from around 3000 acres
to 45,000. There is, he added, a
possibility of irrigating 800,000 or
a million acres here and even
tually this will be done.
Some dry farming will always
be done in Oregon, in King's
opinion, but the average crop
grown in this country will almost
double itself with proper irriga
.tion, he reported. He said that
butter fat r on irrigated pastures
could be produced at from 10
to, 14 cents a pound against 24
cents on dry farming. Ladino clo
ver pasture will last ten years
.t or longer if properly irrigated and
fertilized, while no crop growing
will bring better returns for the
water used than flax. One of the
largest benefits in irrigation in
perennial grasses will be the chok-
Jlng out of annual grasses and thus
'producing a better seed. Irrigation
for this should follow the harvest
of the perennial grass seed.
King stated farmers did not
start irrigating early enough in
the, spring.
"In early May." he exnlainpd.
