George G. SedKwiek. Desohuies
county commissioner and owner of
an 80 acre tract of Irrigated land in
the northwest Redmond district, does
not claim to be one of the leading
agriculturists In Central Oregon, al
though he has been closely in touch
with this industry since coming here
from Marlins Ferry. Ohio. 10 years
ago.
Rut regardless of his assertion that
at present he is merely getting the
pioneer V. M. Ogg farm in shape,
and his suggestion that his interview
er go across the canyon to the Heels
Bros, dairy ranch for material for a
farm Wrltenp! it was found that Sedg
wick has made a study of certain
phases of agricultural work and farm
development which are well worthy
of mention.
Busied with his work as county
commissioner and with land Invest
ments In this connty and the Lone
Pine community of Crook county.
Sedgwick has little time to spend in
personally improving the Ogg farm,
now being worked for the first time
in several years. Cnable to give "his
own time to his newly acquired farm.
Sedgwick has secured the services of
J. N. Hughes, said by the county com
missioner to be one of the best, irri
gators in this section of Misv-stnte.
Hughes works from daylight until
dark, caring for the 52 acres of cul
tivated land on the 80 acre tract.
History Interesting
The history oi this farm, as re
called by Sedgwick, is interesting. At
one time the Ogg place was held as
an example in ell parts of the Red
mond community of what could be
done with a small sum of money and
a tract of raw land in Central Oregon.

vas aim owned by Kit ward White
in .1 An Doty previous to the transfer
la Sedgwick, pKI gave up the place
because of ill health.
Ho not put all your eggs ill one
basket - like many other farm ow n
ers in Posrhulos county. Sedgwick,
gives this advice to prospective Cen-;
tral Oregon land owners and to per-'
si-us who are new in the agricultural
"game." Practicing "what he preaches.
Sedgwick this year planted approxi
mately eight acres to potatoes. The'
remainder of bis acreage Is planted '
villi grain crops and alfalfa, the new'
aifalfa tracts being planted to a cover!
nop of oats. Realising that the'
proper utilisation of water is a major
factor in farm work in Central Ore
gon. Sedgwick secured the services
of YV. R. Lawson. supervisor of irri I
ration in the northwest Redmond
district, in laying out his ditches on
his potato land.
I'rges Careful 1'se
When speaking about irritation
Sedgwick mentioned that in his opln
Ion the time will come, and not In I
the distant future, when every gallon'
o:' water taken from the main ditches
and laterals must be accounted for
if the agricultural industry In the
Peschutes country is to give max-'
imum returns. Sedgwick, whose
work as county commissioner takes
him to all parts of the county, de-
plorea the system of irrigation whe 1 1
so much water goes to waste .in many
places flooding roads.
Sedgwick believes that the exten
sion of the railroad south from Bend
to Klamath Kails and Into California
; will he a great boon to Central Ore
gon, especially to the farmers, whose!
I produce will be shipped to the great!
California cities. The extension of
i the road will be of especial benefit to
; dairymen and potato growers. It Is
the belief of the friendly county com-
: missioner. who has won a great host
of friends through his conscientious
, york since his election to the county
office last fall. I.Ike many other peo
I pie who are Hi touch with agricul
tural development. Sedgwick believes
jthat dairying has a great future in
Ithis part of the state. Likewise, he
'sees a great future for the poultry
I Industry.
Dlatumlte Intereets
As Sedgwick willingly answered 1
bis interviewer's questions in his neat
fi.rni home a little over two miles
northwest of Redmond, he frequently
n ferred to his coming to Central I
I Oregon. Although Sedgwick cime
here primarily for the betterment of
bU health, his attention was first a
it'acted to this part of the state
'through correspondence with a
Ifrlerid. Delmar l-add Leaving the
I government service iu Ohio, in which
he was employed for over 1 years.
Sedgwick came to Redmond with the
intention of filing on a homestead.
He never carried out his plans of tak
ing up a homestead, but he acquired
land in several sections of the Des
chutes and Crooked river country.
: Previous to his coming to Redmond
and taking over the Ogg farm. Sedg

Sedgwick was In charge of the post-

When speaking About 'he ware
house iu Terrebonne, Sedgwick ex
pteaeod a wish that lie hail retitined
I. Is interests there. This was men
tinned in connection with the pro
posed extensive development of the
diatomite mines at Lower Bridge and
the construction of a seven mile spur
railroad from Terrebonne to the
mines. It Is the belief of Sedgwick
that the development of the mines
will be of untold value to Central
Oregon. Including Bend.
That Sedgwick is taking a keen
interest In bis work us county com
missioner. and is making a study of
the needs of the people of Doeebutei
county, was made manifest in the In
tel null interview. And while the
Count commissioner talked III his
DUlel way about his plans for the
further Improvement of his farm and
tl'.e work of tits county court, his In
terviewer recalled the words of a
neighbor, spoken that sunie after
noon: "We made no mistake in electing
Sedgwick- he is a hard worker, lie
i- a thinker and he Is a likable chap.'
