' Ono of tho best projects for both ir rigation and drainage Is the Spring field project on tho peninsula between tho McKcnzle and Willamette rivers, which contains about 20,000 acres. During tho best growing months, Juno, July and August, the rainfall In the Willamette valley is less than In Colorado, eastern Oregon, and some parts of Mexico.
