IT’S THE WATER
The recent break in the A canal re-emphasized
the imoprtance of water to this irrigated region.
Quickly the brief shortage began to show on lawns,
gardens and in fields of pasture and alfalfa. The
wonderful cooperation of all sources in the
restoration of the life line of the Umatilla project
prevented serious damages. But the way back to des
ert conditions was clearly outlined. One full season
without water would leave only trees as struggling
emblems of a third of a century of man’s effort to re
claim a waste that God forgot.
The lesson is to think more and guard well our val
uable storage reservoirs and many miles of canals.
We should cherish these resources of our welfare
and give more heed to the distribution of the life of
our existence at our gates and contribute our best
efforts toward better farming, leveling of land, more
perfect use of the water and a broader spirit of grat
itude to the thing that means everything to our ways
of life.
And speaking of water we must refer again to the
great Columbia at our doors—the second river in the
United States. Perhaps the Umatilla Ordnance De
pot would have been located somewhere else had it
not been for boats and barges at Umatilla and the
prospects of the Umatilla Rapids dam for transpor
tation, power and future developments almost im
possible to forecast. This water will float to our
homes the multitude of things our modern life re-
quires. Water supplies us with electricity. Water will
lift water to dry soils on the uplands. This water lift
ed in sightless vapor from the broad Pacific and de
posited as long as time shall last, on the mountain
tops as reservoirs for our needs, becomes a challenge
to our ingenuity and prophetic ability. The plans of
Providence are all well laid and the pioneering is all
done.
What is, what has been done, and what may be
done should be an inspiration to all observers. It is
no vexatious problem with doubtful solution. It re-
quires only duty and effort and good spirit to attain
a goal that is large and splendid.

Every farming operation costs so much per
acre and when you reduce that cost per acre, it
means more profit for you.
John Deere Tractors have been making more
profit for their owners for many years, through
their low-cost fuel burning ability, low up-keep
costs and their all round dependability.
Consider the accessibility, this alone means
dollars to you especially when you are on a job
where time means a profit or a loss to you.
Many repair jobs on a John Deere mean only
a few minutes lost, in comparison with similar
jobs on any other make of tractor.
For instance the clutch can be removed and
relined in 15 minutes, piston rings can be in
stalled in 2 hours, brakes removed and relined
in one hour, power shaft installed in 30 minutes
and many other repairs made in same short per
iods of time.
John Deere now has a smaller chopper and
feed mill, built just the same as our 114 rough-
age mill which has proved so popular. This new
mill is known as the 110 roughage mill, just the
mill for the smaller type tractors. We will en
deavor to have one of these mills in operation at
the fair. Be sure to stop and look it over.
