The John Day river rises in the
Blue mountains south and east of
Heppner and flows in a westerly di
rection for half its length and then
turns abruptly north and for seventy
miles or so flows through a canyon
fifteen hundred to two thousand feet
deep to the Columbia river. This
canyon is one of the deepest and most
rugged of any in the west, and the
fall of the river is slight, two condi
tions warranted to make diversion of
the water for irrigation a stupendous
problem.
The flow of the river varies- from
one half of to two times the mean
yearly flow, so that for the complete
use of the water large storage res
ervoirs will be required. The dis
charge is sufficient to irrigate three
hundred and fifty thousand acres, as
suming complete regulation of the
flow.
. The laud to be irrigated comprises
various small tracts west of Willow
creek, and the entire body of land
between Willow creek and the Uma
tilla river, and south of the Columbia
river not yet irrigated. The southern
limit is as yet undetermined, but will
be between .the elevations or .seven
and twelve hundred.
This land has been examined by
many engineers and soil experts from
time to time. Opinion was divided
regarding certain portions, but inas
much as the government has now suc
cessfully irrigated land in this vicin
ity of far leS3 desirable character
than any on this tract, there ia ample
evidence to support the statement
that barring certain scab land the
whole 1r desirable. It is general
ly smooth with natural drainage
channels and good soil, yet suffi
ciently rolling to make a far more
attractive project in many ways than
a flat or sloping plane. In fact bet
ter land does not exist in the north
west. The value of the location of this
land, and the character of the climate
almost semi-tropical, needs no com
ment, and the value of Irrigation is
too well established now to require
emphasis, but it is desirable to at
tempt to indicate the tremendous ef
fect and value that the Irrigation or
such a tract will mean.
It means the liberation of great
nutural forces almost beyond our
power to realize, and In some cases to
control. The stimulus to the local
communities Is the first and least Im
portant effect, yet that alone will
mean an activity In many lines of
business at present undreamed of,
and will effect Indirectly at least ev

j mean also an Intimate knowledge or
I heavy construction such as is randy
jseen anywhere, of great educational
value and stimulous, particularly to
j the younger generation.

Now is the time to start the vege
table garden, points out A. G. Bou
quet, professor of vegetable garden
ing at the Oregon Agricultural col
lege. "Early vegetables that can be lured
above ground will not b ehurt by fu
ture spring weather," says Professor
Bouquet. "Such vegetables as onion
sets, turnips, spinich, lettuce and rad
ishes will germinate easily under
present oenditions. Half a dozen earlv
crops can be planted in early March.
This is also hot bed time which calls
fo rthe sowing of such swds as cab
bage, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant.
"April 15 begins the second plant
ing season, which calls tor sowing;
carrots, onions, beets, chard, the sec
ond planting of lettuce, radishes and
peas, and new as-paragus and rhu
barb beds. It is the season for sow
ing celery in hotbeds and melons in
paper pots in a hotbed.
"The next seeding time is May 8 to
15, after frost. Beans, sweet corn,
pajsnips and salsify may be sown and
late cabbage, Kale, cauliflower, and
broccoli, may be seeded in the open
seed bed and later transplanted.
".May 20 to 2 5 is the fourth plant
ing season. The tomato plants may
be transplanted, another seeding of
lettuce made, and the seedings of pole
beans and the squash family be fin
ihiitd. "About June 10 the egg plants and
peppers shoudl be transplanted to thi
field, and possibly some early celery
plants. Another sowing of sweet corn
and late beets, and carrots for win
ter should also be made. Lettuce
should be sown at this time to give
a supply in late summer."
