To Go After Tuna

shore sometimes to encounter the
tuna, but when you once get
there he fishing is unbeatable."
Milton A. Poland. Portland
publisher who works for Cnptain
Stanley Allyn on the Trade
winds" off Drpoe Bay. Just for
fun, says: "Although Allyn does
n't tako his boat out for tuna,
there ate three or four larger
boats that make the trip out about
18 miles and take fishln Das
engers along. These trips require
lour ana eigm hours and the
tuna fishermen usually get well
rewarded for making the trio.'
Now another question Is, can
a boat out of Astoria make S5
miles "or more." catoh tuna and
return in one day. A boat must
be ablo to tavel about 20 m. p. h.
to make sui-h a trip and it ap
pears doubtful If there ore more
than two boats out of Astoria
cspable to making that speed. In
which case the prii-e would nat
urally be kept hlnh enough to
eliminate the "general run of
sportsmen."
As a rportsman, this writer She was born April 21, 1873, in
would be only loo happy to learn I Nortnnsvllle. N. Y. She was a
that tuns fishing is practical. But 'member of the Fairmount Presby
as a sports writer. I could harHlv I - -.:
ur cjpcctea to pumirire the sport.
After all one cannot expect, even
a fisherman, to travel some 200
miles from the Willamette Valley
to Astoria and find a one-day
trip for tuna is not possible.

the Berg farm by a four-Inch cen
trifual pump and a ten-horsepower
electric motor. Operation
cost for pumping was estimated at
$1 per day. Initial cost for the
complete pump setup, which was
purchased second-hand, was $250,
Mr. Berg told inquiring farmers.
Last crop from the S0-acre al
falfa field was 125 tons on the
first cutting and over 75 tons on
the second. Mr. Berg said that be
fore he started irrigating, second
cutting did not yield enough to
pay for the labor Involved.
Pasture Sprinkled
Sprinklers in the clover pasture
are of the type now being widely
used, slip-joint sections of per
forated pipe, 3 inches in diameter,
covering an area 30 feet wide and
540 feet long with three inches of
precipitation in an hour-and-a
half setting. Fourteen pounds of
pressure is developed to equally
distribute the water over that
area. The resultant clover field Is
lush and green to every boundary.
P. E. Needham, Leaburg farm
er on tour, showed avid interest
in the Berg brothers Irrigation
setup, planning a sprinkler sys
tem for his 40-acre clover field.
Underground main lines for his
system have already been laid,
e said.
The Berg clover field of 12
acres can' be completely covered
with three inches of water in
three days, it was said, but is
usually gone over about once a
week.
Visitors from other parts of the
county seen on the tour were H.
C. Williamson, from Cottage
Grove; Mr. and Mrs. Clyde
Wright, who operate a large farm
3 miles south of Creswell; Grover
Walker and Joe Walker from Fall
Creek; and E. H Peterson from
Junction City.
Party is "Split
Laugh moment at the Berg farm
was when the tour crowd was
split Into two groups by sprinkler
lines. Guide Fletcher called from
his side of the 30-foot curtain of
water to assemble the tourists for

man. actually dashed through
th. sorinkler line in resDOnd to
his call
Arthur King, extension soil
specialist from Oregon State col-
lege addressed the crowd on
maintenance and operation of ir
rigation systems, advised irriga
tion of Ladino clover fields once
a week starting in May and
spreading of 200-300 pounds of
super phosphate fertilizer per acre
each year.
Second stop of the. irrigation
tour caravan, which Mr. Fletcher
estimated to be the largest ever
assembled for a field crop tour,
was at the farm of F. B. Simmons,
whose 48 ocres of alfalfa, red
clover and Ladino clover are ir
rigated from the Springfield land
and water system ditch by strip
border flooding.
No romping or pipe lines are
necessary for this type of Irriga
tion, which can only be used
where there Is a fairly large and
dependable water supply, it was
explained by Mr. Fletcher. The
water is guided In flood ditches
to small gates, placed one to a
strip, which control the Irriga
tion. Strip Method Easy
Cheapest and easiest of all sys
tems to operate, the strip border
method of Irrigation necessitates a
great amount of labor In prepara
tion of ground. Fields are levelled
and divided by ridges into strips j
about 30 feet wide and running ,
any length desired. Water flooded
into a strip from one of the gates
covers the ground evenly and
quickly if the preparatory:
levelling has been properly done. I
One large field on the Simmons
farm, 10 acres in area and di
vided into approximately 15
strips, can be completely flooded
In 5 hours, Mr. Simmons said. The
water flows Into all strips at once,
reaching every inch of the field.

Some of the Simmons farm not
yet levelled for strip-border irri
gation is being supplied water by
the older method ol iiooaing irom
higher points. Although better
than no irrigation at all, the sys
tem does not distribute water
evenly over high and low points
alike, Mr. Simmons said. He plans
to have the more efficient system
in operation on some of this land
by next year.
One of the largest sprinKier a-
rigated farms in Lane county was
visited on the last stop of the two-
day tour, the 120-acre Thistle
down farm being operated by
Fred Brougher. It Is located on
the Pacific highway six miles
north of Eugene.
Three pumping plants, 1800 feet
of underground iron pipe and
1400 feet of lateral pipe equipped
with Buckner revolving sprinklers
comprises the equipment used to
water this large farm, me pumps,
two of which are powered by
electricity and one by gasoline
engine, draw water from 12-inch
drilled wells, each 40 feet deep.
Water level is only ten feet below
ground level here and the supply
is virtually inexhaustible.
In addition to many acres of
rolling pasture land seeded with
Ladino clover and rye grass, the
sprinklers are being used to water
other field crops and some can
nery crops. The sprinklers, set 60
feet apart In stagger formation,
are left on 8 hours at a time.
Slip-Joint lateral pipe setups
1000 feet long are moved three
times a day. Mr. Brougher said,
giving pasture lands a thorough
watering every three weeks. Fifteen-horsepower
motors and 3
inch centrifugal pumps are used
to develop pressure of 60 pounds
and pump water at the rate of
325 gallons per minute. Water
equal to a three-inch rainfall is
obtained from one sprinkler setup
in an 8-hour period.
Grazing on the Thistledown
captures are 94 head of cattle. Mr.
Brougher said his irrigation op
eration cost for 70 acres of pas
ture is $130 per month, or slightly
less than $2 per acre per month.
Initial investment in Irrigation
equipment was not estimated.
Others who followed the irrl
Eation tour were C. B. 'Greenough,
nericultural engineer with the
Mountain States power company;
Henry L. Page, Fall Creek; Earl
Clark, O. N. Peterson, Junction
City; A. G. Johnson, Junction

Ash Bailey, lower Fern Ridge; C.

OPPOSE MEASURE
Oppisition to the initiative meas
ure on the November ' ballot to
curb picketing by labor unions
was voiced Saturday by the

American, distinctly anti-labor and
deliberately designed to nullify
recent labor legislation."
A program of women's demo
cratic activities in the next three
weeks was outlined, including:
A tea August 31 at the home
of Mrs. Creed Brattain for discus
sion of campaign issues.
Picnic September 11 at Junc

faculty.
