RECLAMATION
GIVES HOPE FOR
NEW FARMERS
Control of water through recla
mation offers the greatest oppor
tunity for increasing the number
of economic farm units in Oregon,
says L>r. W. L Powers, head of
the soils department at Oregon
State college, in an introduction to
the triannual report of the Oregon
Reclamation congress covering the
three annual conventions from
1038 to 1940, inclusive.
The present irrigated area in
Oregon recently has been estimat
ed at 1,500.000 acres. It appears
probable that this can ultimately
be increased by perhaps 500,000
acres, says Dr. Powers
About
152.000 acres are within 70 devel-
oped drainage or dyking districts
in the state and nearly a million
acres still are susceptible of im
provement by farm tiling or com
munity drains
latest census figures show that
the increase in the number of
farms in Oregon has been confined
largely to the irrigated areas. To
date 1500 new families have set
tled on the Vale-Owyhee project
land.
As to future reclamation devel
opment, Dr. Powers points out
the possibility of small feasible
projects in Douglas and Josephine
counties and the desirability of re
examining the John Day project
in the light of recent power de
velopments. Early completion of
the Deschutes project is needed,
he says, and there may be a com
bined flood control and reclama
tion approach to the Grand Ronde
project.
f 8 MARINE CORPS
DUE FOR EXPANSION
The US Marine corps probably
will be authorized very shortly to
recruit a larger number of men
than it was allowed to enlist all
during 1940. it was revealed by
Major James B. Hardie, recruiting
officer in charge of this district.
The names of a considerable
number of applicants who already
have been accepted have been
placed on a waiting list, pending
such time as they can actually be
enlisted.
The quota for February most
likely will exceed that for this
month, the major believes. Proba
bly by March the Marine corps
will be allowed to expand to such
a degree that new recruiting sta
tions will have to be established
in this district to take care of the
enlistments. Recommendations for
opening up new stations at Klam
ath Falls, Ore and Lewiston. Ida,
already have been made. At pres
ent the Portland district main
tains recruiting stations at Salem
and La Grande, Ore., Walla Walla,
Wash, and Boise, Ida., in addition
to headquarters at Portland.

The greatest field for drainage
and irrigation remaining in Ore-
gon, however, is in the Willam-
ette valley, he says. While there
are close to 750 000 acres of good
irrigable soil types in the valley,
various limitations make it im
probable that more than half a
million acres will be irrigated in
the next generation.
"Sound reclamation decreases
the unit cost of production and
increases quality of products, and
it renders the least area sufficient
for the support of a family and
thus contributes toward a peace
ful world," said Dr. Powers.

when you head south for

a tip: leave your carat home
and try the train. Relax and
take it easy while the engi
neer does the driving.
This way you’ll enjoy the
trip a lot more and you’ll
arrive rested and refreshed.
Low roundtrip fares are in
effect every day. Ask about
them today.
