Even tho dullest ought to comprehend its neesesity, if for nothing else than crop insurance. In days of old, when the land had to sustain but a few thousand people and farms were large, with- abundant range foj; stock raising, it did not matter so much whether the land was watered, although even then. Waten was nec essary .for garden purposes. Today,-however, with ten times the former population tosujiport, and farms cut up into small tracts, irrigation is essential, pot only for tho oivhardist and gardener,. but for the farnier. . With the passing of the old loose methods of farming has come the necessitv of scientific farming. The soil must be made to produce regularly a .maximum output, and this ian omy ue (lone oy irrigation. Jt is difficult, except in the most favorable year, to .make a living off a small tract of land without irrigation, jj.t becomes an easy matter with water. ' Irrigation for the valley is a comparatively easy propo sition. .Abundant supply exists in never-failing streams. Both Hutte creeks, the Appjogate, the Hogue.and even,tlie. Klamath can be utilised. ," Water is already here for a poiv Hon of the valley, and it only requires the co-operation of the land-owners to secure it. The most practical scheme advanced for irrigation is thefereation ot an irrigation district. Those who oppose irrigation will then have a chance to sell then- properly to people who understand its benefits. Without water there will be no sale of any kind and property will be taken by mortgages. ' . An oivhardist without water may be able to mature a small crop in a dry year by eonstant'thinning, but, the out put will not pay expenses. The farmer may cut a third or a half crop of hay and grain, but the yield will be light and uncertain. He will make no money. Times are hard in the valley beeau.se in dry years tlie valley does not produce enough' to pay its living expenses, riven in favorable years the output Is not half what it could be and ought to be. No matter what general condi tions are, times will continue hard until the cause is re moved and the cure is irrigation. We might as well face conditions as thev are. The sooner we get down to Imsiness and eliminate the cause of our depression the sooner we will secure an abiding pros perity. No one can solve these troubles for the valley the people of the valley must solve them. river to commercial fixliin nml win pansed at tlio same election when iv people enacted J wo other meitKiirei, tho ono qrtpoPcd lo, the oilier icjiu llitinj; fiihiiiK on the C'uhmibin river.
