: FARM STORAGE POND Gunster Arends, left, Cloverdalo
farmer, stands on the dike-edge of the 22,000,000 gallon water
storage pond on his farm. Ted Thorson, Mid-State Soil Conserve,
tion district technician holds the microphone as Arends explains
to a group of teachers on a conservation tour how the pond was
built and how it serves him in raising alfalfa, wheat and oats on
part of his 240 acre farm.
Doesn't It Beat the Dutch
How Arends Watered Crop?
Special to The Bulletin i
REDMOND Sometime next
school session 72 teachers who are j
telling their classes why water is
vital on a farm, will recall a day
"in Central Oregon. It was a day
recently when they stood in the
dusty basin of Gunster Arends' ,
huge dried-up irrigation pond and4
learned that intelligence can pro- j
duce moisture.
Jt . The teachers went to Arends j
farm and pond in the Plainview
district during a field study of re- I
source management. The trip also
included stops at'the Lazy-Z ranch ;
near Sisters; the Lake Creek fish !
i screen; the Brooks - Scanlon tree ,
farm; Sisters school forest, and
recreational areas in the Deschutes
National forest. ' Fish hatcheries
and a timber sale location were
in the Jtmerary.
Along the Sisters-Bond highway,
the teachers crossed the dike-shore
of Arends" nond and gathered in
(he bowl while .the Dutch - born
farmer explained that his 240
acres carried only flood - water
rights.
Meltir" snow from the Cascades
supplied sufficient water in
Squaw Creek for the demand, he
said. So Mter prior water rghts
along the creek were granted, the
pema'nin? lands and farmers got
only the surplus or flood - waters
when otors had finished Irrig
ting. At the neak of summer there
was no surplus.
Pntrh TraMmy I't
Arenas came from North Da
kota 10 years ago. His ancestry
was Dutch and he had learned
dike-building; so he set to work
with small equipment to Tub out
a water storage pond. Then the
Mid-State Soil Conservation dis
trict helned him design a large
nond and rented equipment to build
it.
The pond has 20 000.000 gs'Ion
(30 acre feet) capacity when full.
V storage waters were trwd unt'l
July 1 to irrigate Acends' alfalfa,
wheat and oats. Then there was
no more excess water in the area
to fill (Ha pond. It will fill a?ain
in the hll, he said, when other
farmers have stopped irreaMng.
In the meantime, the crops are
thriving on what sub-?-.'! initiation
they have stored, and any rain
that oorr"i! alnrrr Were harvest.

They learned about soils, water,
timber, fish, game and other re
sources peculiar to those slopes.
Accompanying them besides Dr.

its lounder, Robert A. Hudson.
It was back in Wtlf wuen liend
was a 3-y cur-old village that young
Huusoa started a w..oi-'.ale busi
ness in Portland at the age oi 20.
. His warehouse branch .n Bend
was launched in 1929. In 1939 Hud
son buiit his big warehouse and
office at its present address.
At the time this building was
completed there was a grand
opening attended by the owner.
Hudson said in an interview print
ed in The Bend Bulletin on July 31,
1939, that the money he made as
a salesman in Central Oregon en
abled him to begin his wholesale
business. He is now celebrating its
50th anniversary.
The firm's headquarters is in
Portland. Hudson and his partner,
Fred P Gram, began it in a small
store in 1907.
Hudson's first orders came from
PrlnevUle and Bend. The business
grew rapidly and moved several
times to larger quarters then Hud
son built his own bunding in 1930
a large structure with docking
space on the Willamette rivr.
In 1939 when the Bend branch
building was opened, Einar Selfors, j
present manager, was assistant j
manager. Several years ngo ho be-1
came manager! succeeding Ralph j
Adams. t
Selfors is a graduate of Bend
high school and gained fame there !
as a tennis player when he was
on the championship doubles team
of Central Oregon.

City Families
Life Advised
Thn decision to buy a suburban
nonie und acreage js frequently
accompanied by , liie problem of
how to finance the venture. Sound
financing may mean the differ
ence between a favorable and un
favorable experience.
The decision as to how nuch
you can sufely pay for a home
and acreage is dependent on past
savings, income expectations, and
the proportion of this income the
family is willing to give up for
housing.
A ru!e-of-thumb is that one
should not pay more than l'a to
2M times his annual normal spend
able incony; for a home. To ex
ceed these amounts means that
most families do not have suifi
cieni current income for food,
clothing, education, recreation,
transportation, and medical and
dental care.
Few families today have suffi
cient savings to pay cash for the
ieal estate, and to purcliuse (he
equipment or livestock needed.
Wise use of credit, coupled with
family savings, is a sound route
to home ownership.
One-Third Cash Advisable
Experience' indicates that a down
payment of 25 to 30 per cent is
necessary .to establish reasonable
security and safety. For example,
if the asking price of a 'piece of
property is $15,000, you should
have close to $5,000 in cash that
you can use as down payment if
the financing is to be reasonably
safe.
Sales contracts often are used
when the family does not have
enough money, to make a substan
tial down payment, then monthly

or annual payments will usually

The number of years over which
a loan is to be repaid determines
the size of the payments and also
the total amount of interest. The
tendency is to accept a quick re
payment of interest. This is good
if income is adequate to provide
living expenses and meet all farm
operating and developing costs. A
safer and more reasonable repay
ment program is at least a 20
year term, with provisions In the

or extra payments on principal at
any anniversary date. This per
