Three Possible Irrigation Plans Open on Project IT GENE winters Morrow County Extension Afoot The Willow Creek project is! new nearing the stage where project irrigated lands need to be delineated. To facilitate this and provide a means of ex-1 changing information, an orga nization of Dartlciratlnz land owners is needed. Oregon statutes provide for three types of districts which are often considered for spon soring irrigation tcoiects.
