(From Wednesday's Dally.) Cattle valued at $7500 are esti mated to havo been saved In Do schutcs county alone during the pres ent year through vaccination lor blackleuc, according to It. A. Ward, county agent, who has had charge of the work hero. Since tho spring season, tho coun ty agent's office has distributed S700 doses of blackleg vacclno and has vaccinated over 750 cattlo for demon stration purposes. Annual range losses from blackleg run around 3 per cent., sometimes higher, but owners roport nono of the vaccin ated cattlo dying from tho disease. On a 140 valuation per head, this work has prevented tho loss of about $7500 worth or cattlo, which would bo 3 per cent, or the numbor vaccinated. Tho last vaccinating demonstration was held at Tumnlo last week, whero the Gerklng, McGuIre nnd Peterson cattlo wero treated. Animals Infect ed with blackleg at the time of vac cination will die, as tho vacclno la powerless to check tho disease after Infection. As tho spores or the disease will carry over in tho earth and grass roots ror years, It Is strongly recom mended by Mr. Ward that animals bo burned -whoro thoy die, and not dragged out ot tho field. Dragging tho carcass Is sure to spread tho dls cuso over tho range, while burlng It on tho spot -will assist In locnlllzlng and controlling this scourgo ot the cattlo Industry. ILL ORGANIZE FARM BUREAU l-'AIttiKRS OF COUNTY TO TAKE UP NEW PliAN WITH ABATE MENT OF THE INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC. (From Wednesday's Dally.) After tho Influenza epidemic Is safely past farmers ot tho county aro planning on forming tho De schutes County Farm Bureau, to take tho placo ot tho old agricultural council, which formerly served both counties, according to R. A. Ward, county agent. Tho now plan contem plates a moro practical and thorough organization than was posslblo undor the old system, and is tho plan now followed In practically all states hav ing county agents, except Orogou nnd Washington. Furraora In conferenco with tho ngeut bollovu that tho chango Is do slrable now that Deschutes county will havo tho services ot tho agent alone, Instead ot dividing tho work with Crook county, na wa8 dono last year. I tho Investigators announced, and are working undor such conditions as nro not a dotrlment to either tholr honlth or morals. Furthermore, thoy are satisfied with theso condi tions, and hotly protested tho pro posed uction ot tho state welfare commission. All ot theso workers, according to tho roport, stand ready to relinquish their positions In favor ot male help at any tlmo whon It Is known that such male help la ado quato to tako up tho work. Tho recommendation of tho com munity labor board that tho women bo pormltted to remain at tholr posts ot duty until tho present shortage ot labor is nettled with tho roturn ot tho majo population from mili tary life was forwarded to tho state wolfaro commission last night, so that it might bo at their disposition at the mooting to bo hold today. POST-WAR IRRIGATION DISCUSSED. KnfrJneer Recommend Central Or gon Irrigation Scheme for De velopment by Nntlonnl Reclamation Service. (8pcUI to T natlettn.) SALBM, Nov. 16. Tho immense Deschutes project In Central Oregon is one ot the projects that should be given tho earliest posslblo con sldcratlon as a post-b'cllum Irrigation development measure, nccordlng to a letter which has Just gono forward from horo to F. E. Woymouth, chief ot construction ot tho United States reclamation service. Tho recommen dation was mado by Stato Engineer Lewis alter Engineer Weymouth had requested tho stato engineer to give him Information as to tho principal projects In Oregon which should bo developed as atter-tho-war progress measures. State Engineer Lewis also cites tho Silver Lake project as another of considerable Importance to be taken Into consideration by the rec lamation sorvlco. In connection with tho Deschutes project Mr. Lawis also emphasizes tho deslrabllty of making further Investigations particularly In refer ence to tho Denham Falls project, as a part ot tho great Deschutes project. In his letter Mr. Lewis says: "I havo your Inquiry of tho 9th instant relative to Irrigation projects In this stato In which tho reclama tion service might bo Interested in connection with Its post-bellum pro gram. "Tho investigation that the state made In co-operation with tho U. S. reclamation servlco a fow years ago covered the stato pretty thoroughly and no Important Irrigation projects havo been brought to light slnco the completion of tho Investigation. "Our attention has been frequently called to what appears to bo an ex cellent project In tho Warm Springs Indian reservation in Wasco county. Somo investigation ot this project has been made by tho Indian service, though no steps havo been taken for its construction and whllo we havo no definite information in regard to It tho reports wo have Indicate that It Is an excellent project. I mention theso projects as being tho only ones which might be regarded as falling In the first class to which you refer In your letter, though doubtless somo ot tho projects investigated by tho state and the United States undor tho provisions of Chapter 86 could woll be placed In this class. "As you havo copies of tho co operative reports you will bo In terested only In tho present Btatu. of theso projects. I will therefore refer you to tho last blonnlal roport of this otflco, on pages 116-118 and 12C of which you will find a discus sion ot tho status of the;o projects at the tlmo ot tho Issuunco ot this report. Slnco thnt tlmo tho Med ford Irrigation district has been or ganized nnd has voted a bond Issuo ot 11,500,000. Tho organization ot tho Silver Lake district has been com pleted and tho bonds ot tho Warm Springs district have been disposed ot and construction work will hogln In tho vory near future. A district has also been organized in Harney vnlloy and one is In process ot or ganization on Sliver crook. Dvsctiutca Project. "Wo teol that tho Deschutes proj ect Is worthy ot consideration by tho reclamation sorvlco at thla time on account ot Its magnttudo and the fact that n large and oxponslvo reservoir must bo constructed to con serve a uumber ot moro or loss In dependent units, thus rendering It difficult to finance nnd construct any unit separate from the others. "A report iaa been made, by a board of consulting engineers, In which it was found that the Tumalo rosorvolr, constructed tor tho irriga tion of 20,000 ncron In the stato's Tumalo projoct, for tho comjtfuotlou of which tho etuto appropriated $450,000, -will probably uovr bold water, Tho projoct hau therefore boon limited to an area ot 8000 acres and tho romandor ot the land that was Included in this project may (Continued on Page 4,)
