ANNUAL DAIRY AND HOG SHOW
A red hot challenge from Board
man to Hermiston to stage a eome-
tition in the utilitarian art of calling
hogs has been received here. It came
from Sam Boardman, and his propo
sition is to have the contest staged
as a part of the Dairy and Hog Show,
if possible.
“When it comes to calling hogs,
some of our boys at Boadman admit
that they are without peers,” said
Mr. Boardman while in Hermiston
Monday. “We are not sure that
Hermiston can get up a team that
Will give us much practice, but we
are intending to get into the big
circuits with our team, and wewould
be glad to get a little practice on
some of the Hermiston callers.
“Of course the Hermiston team
would be at a disadvantage, because
we have been practicing down at
Boardman, but since it is merely
practice that we want, I guess the
Hermiston gang will have to be good
sports and take their medicine.”

Would be Too Costly,
He Says
Editor of The Herald:
Some of the readers of your paper
will be interested in the views of a
water user on class 6 land.
The government has cancelled the
construction charges against class 6
land and arranged that any holder of
water right shall have water for the
irrigation of his land but leaves the
rental terms to be made by the irri
gation district. It is provided, how
ever, that classes 1 2 and 3 lands
shall have a full service, and water
used on class 6 land shall be taken
only after the better class of soils
are fully provided for.
The sandier soils require 12 acre
feet of water to fully irrigate them.
Probably one half of this water goes
directly into the drainage system and
is instantly taken up to the West Ex
tension where it does duty as well or
better than if it had been retained
in the reservoir and supplied direct
to the West Extension.
We may expect that improvements
will be made in the use of water and
crops to be produced as the district
develops, but the labor of herding
12 acre feet of water— and be assur
ed corn, potatoes and alfalfa can
not be produced with less than 12-
acre feet— makes a perpetual and
considerable burden.
The careful
and economical application of water
to the land should be required of
water users on class 6 lands as well
as upon other classes of land.
I would not ask the construction
of reservoirs and a distributing sys
tem for these poorer soils, but since
they are constructed it seems best
that as full use of them as possible
should be encouraged.
Let them bear part of the cost of
operation. It would be best to make
an acre basis of maintenance charge,
rather than an acre foot charge, con
sidering that probably half of the
water is conserved from seepage for
further use. At any rate a charge
of over 25 cents per acre foot would
discourage the cfAss 6 water use!*
who are still on the project.
If alfalfa seed can be successfully
grown here* it will require only half
the water of ‘other crops, but the
water charge on an acre basis would
remain constant. In case such liberal
terms were made that it exhausted
the supply of water it should then be
given out proportionately to all who
can make careful use of it.
I would like to hear this matter
discussed by the settlers of the pro
ject.
