HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER; OREGON, THURSDAY, AUG. 12, 1937 PAGE SEVEN Bulletin Summaries Water Knowledge A brief summary statement of present information concerning ground water supplies in five Ore gon regions, together with an out line of additional work needed or contemplated has just been issued in the form of Oregon Experiment sta tion circular No. 124, entitled, "The Ground Water Problem in Oregon." With more demand for irrigation water both east and west of the Cas cades, and with the increasing pop ulation needing more domestic wa ter supplies, many inquiries have been received regarding the avail ability of water from wells. Until a shortage of funds compell ed a halting of the work in 1932, the Oregon Experiment station has co operated with the United States geo logical survey in systematic surveys of ground water supplies in three leading areas. Two of these areas, the Harney basin and The Dalles region, have been covered by final reports, while the Willamette valley region has been covered by a pre liminary summary of findings. The Willamette valley is described in the new circular as being essen tially a ground water reservoir, the bottom and sides of which are formed from sedimentary and vol canic rocks such as compose the en closing mountains. Irrigation from wells can be developed in small units adapted to individual farms- although well irrigation ordinarily proves more costly than gravity systems where the latter may be de veloped. In the southern part of the valley pumping from wells seems best adapted to irrigation at outlying lo calities or during the preliminary stages of developing a gravity sys tem, and possibly assisting drainage of depressions in cultivated land by lowering the water table, according to the circular. Similar brief discussions are con tained for The Dalles region, the Harney basin, Milton-Freewater dis trict and the Butter creek basin. A proposed six year program for fur ther investigations, recommended by the state planning board, is append ed to the circular. Experimental Station Facts and Figures Comparative tests made by feed' ing cows alfalfa hay with and with' out grain on the Hermiston branch experiment station indicate that it is profitable to feed grain to cows that are capable of producing a good vol ume of milk. Feed costs per pound of fat were about the same with both groups, but the cows fed grain pro duced consistently higher. Fears that a straight ration of alfalfa hay might be a cause of poor breeding efficient cy were not borne out by the test, however, as there appeared to be no difference in this respect between the two groups. The ability of trashy fallow to pre vent water erosion, even under ex ceptional conditions, was demon' strated this summer in an area in Umatilla county where a near cloud burst struck. A field with trashy fallow held the downpour with no perceptible erosion, while a neigh' boring field which had been summer fallowed the old way was washed out to plow depth. In five years of testing on the Pendleton branch ex periment station there has been only one year in which the yield on disked trashy fallow was significantly low er than on the old clean cultivated type.
