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.
