(Continued from page 2.) perity is not dependent alone upon the vicissitudes of a market for the more perishable truck crops. The future of a country with such great natural advantages depends solely upon, the class of men settling upon the lands. From my knowl edge of the class of men settling in thla Inland Empire, the future of the country is as safe In their hands as in the bands of any other class In America, lien not afraid of hard work, men eager to farm with their brains as well as with their hands Is the class needed. ; Experimental Farms. Arrangements are being made by the reclamation service for an exper iment farm to be established In each project of Importance, where tests of crops, actual demonstrations of the possibilities of soil and climate -can be seen by each settler. The United States government does more today for Its farmers In supplying them with the results of scientific Inves tigation In the field of agriculture, than any other country In the world, and the more use is made of this In formation by the farmers the more successful will they be. The phase of the Irrigation ques tion which has been prominently be fore the people recently Is that of winter irrigation. The uncertainty of water storage on the Umatilla river seems to have caused the people to look to winter irrigation, or more properly flood irrigation, for a solu tlon of the question. It is well known Ahat after seasons of heavy rainfall crops can be grown without Irrigation, and the Impression is widespread that ane or two irrigations during winter will be almost as profitable as. peren nial irrigation, and In consequence, the chief engineer of the reclamation service, Mr. F. H. Newell, has been repeatedly urged by the people to take up the question of winter irrigation. It is the policy of the reclamation service to give the people the best form of Irrigation -ather than the easiest and cheapest, consequently a -careful study must be made of the two methods before a solution is reached. If the flood irrigation of lands proves more profitable, con sidering the expenditure, that system will undoubtedly be recommended. On the other hand, If It proves that perennial irrigation Is most desirable, this method will be presented to the people. In order to definitely decide the relative value of land farmed by flood Irrigation and that farmed un der perennial irrigation, It Is hoped that certain Investigations or experi ments will be carried on during the summer upon the lands In question. Farms under the two methods of Ir rigation will be selected and their products studied throughout the sea son. Unsurpassed Climate. The climate of the Umatilla lands is unsurpassed for crop growing. The northern position of this country gives long days, more sunshine a longer crop growing period than In southern latitudes. The increase In length of growing season by virtue of the increased length of sunlight over the latitude of Southern California, amounts to 14 days during the sum' mer months. That Is, plants grow ing here between April and October have what is equivalent to, 14 days more sunlight than those around Los Angeles, and 14 days crop growth amounts to a great deal, particularly where alfalfa Is being grown. This fact accounts for the rapid growth of crops around this country. I believe the Umatilla country will surprise many people. Where now there Is but a waste of sand and sage brush, and where rabbits, coyotes, lizards and horned toads are the prin cipal inhabitants, I expect some day to see beautiful homes and what to me is the most beautiful sight in the wot Id, a progressive and prosperous agriculture." CUNNINGHAM WOOL STOLEN. Four or Five Sacks Taken From Pilot ' Rock Ranch.
