Better Water Systems
Aim Farm Campaign
A definite campaign in selected
Oregon counties to assist farmers in
obtaining better water supples for
the farm homes is announced by the
Oregon State college extension ser
vice. Everett Davis, extension special
ist in agricultural engineering, will
devote most of the summer months
to this project. Extensive work will
be carried on in Columbia and Was
co counties, with some follow-up
work in Jackson county and proba
bly in Josephine.
Recent reports of home betterment
committees in the county outlook
conferences indicated that the
strongest desire on the part of home
makers for improved facilities is for
running water in the houses.
Davis will conduct demonstratons
of successful rural home water sys
tems and will hold community meet
ings with county extension agents
for those interested in making such
improvements. He will also cooper
ate with local dealers in encouraging
displays of water system equipment.
"Water system improvement may
range all the way from installing a
pitcher pump in the kitchen, con
nected with a shallow well or cis
tern, to the development of com
munity gravity water systems to
bring water from mountain streams,"
says Davis.
Plans for such gravity systems are
being made at present in Columbia
county where he plans his first
campaign. Farmers living on diked
land ajong the Columbia river are
having dififculty with water sup
plies, and are planning to form wa
ter associations to pipe supplies from
the hills.
