Irrigation Makes Ford Engines Power ‘Elephant Trains’ Good Returns All water available for irrigation will be utilized for that purpose within the next few years in the opinion of Arthur King, extension specialist in irrigation work at the State College, who appeared at two irrigation meetings in Coos county on February 17 and 18. AD of those practicing irrigation now or plan ning to do so in the near future were urged to obtain water rights from the state engineer giving authority to use water for this purpose. In commenting on the value of ir rigation on his farm, E. L. Clausen, of Broadbent, who was the first to in stall overhead irrigation, stated that he was entirely satisfied with results. He started first with second-hand equipment adapted to flooding land, but found those to require too much labor and changed to the overhead system. Since he has been irrigating, it requires only one-half as much land to grow root crops for his dairy herd. Irrigation on his farm is used mainly on pasture land seeded to La- dlno clover and English rye grass. Irrigation has paid good returns on the investment and labor involved on his farm according to statements made by M. M. Schmidt, of Norway, who has been using the overhead system for the past two years. The value of the increased production of butterfat which can be attributed to irrigation during this period of time has paid the initial cost of installing the equipment on this farm, he stated. W. E. Cross, of Coquille, emphasiz ed among other advantages the value of irrigation in starting fall seeded crops early. Other farmers who are supplying artificial rain through irri gation and who spoke at the meetings include Ed Gillespie, of Bandon; Tom Detlef sen, of CoquiUe, O. H.. Aasen, of Arago, and T. P. Hanly, of River ton. The winter irrigation meetings were arranged through the county agricultural agent’s office to provide an opportunity for farm operators lnteresed in irrigation to discuss the problems involved with specialists in irrigation, other farmers who are now irrigating and with representatives of power and equipment companies. During the past two or three years, several installations have been made after it was too late to obtain best results from irrigation during the current year, it was stated. day afternoon to visit Mrs. J.
