Hole-in- City Well Drilling Starts at Irrigon; Melon Crop Good IRRIGON Strasser Drilling Company of Portland moved its drill rig in and started work on Irrigon's Well No. 1. Start of this proiect is the result of over six vear's planning and effort on the part of local authorities, a'med at developing a munici pal water system for the city. Pete Johnson and Earl Baker operate the drill for Strasser. Award of contracts for the distribution system and pump ing facilities will be let as soon as a source of water supply is assured. The project, which is .ting financed in part by a Fed eral grant and loan through Farmers Home Administration, s tentatively scheduled to be completed and in service by March 1 of next year. Claims and counter claims on .ocale of best melons comes as regularly as the melon crop it self. Contenders elsewh ere would be hard pressed to con vince Irrigon growers that mel ons come any earlier or better than from local fields. A greater sense of accomp lishment is felt this year by ome due to the fact that, in .spite of threats of shortage of water and the possibility that they were planting in vain, ii7 ost fields have done excep tionally well and growers have been favored with a good mar ket. Although acreage of melons for the area is far below that of 15 or 20 years ago, the econ omy of the community is bols tered considerably through the melon season, which offers em ployment to the young people, both during hoeing and at har vest time, in addition to the crop revenue proper. Local melon stands, geared expressly to handle the crop as tourism demands, are elated at the season's results thus far. Highway change through the area several years ago elimin s ted many of the old establish ed stands and now only four remain; namely. Bischkes, Knightens, Schmunks and Hom ers. Fred Fredrickson, who is al so a local grower, operates a stand at the Umatilla-Morrow county line, formerly known as Jones Melon Stand.
