About 152,000 arces are

a million acres are still succeptible

Latest census figures show that
the increase in the number o f farms
in Oregon has been confined largely
to the irrigated areas. T o date 1500
new families have settled on the Vale-

Douglas and Josephine counties and

a combined flood control and recla

Ronde project.
The greatest field fo r drainage and
irrigation remaining in Oregon how
ever is in the Willamette valley he
says. While »mere are close to 750,,
000 acres o f good irrigable soil types
in the valley various limitations make
it improbable that more than half a
million acres will bei rrigated in the

“ Sound reclamation decreases the

Powers.
