T1IK Lr)rd; is; givinrv tlio Ifono H'wov valley a. iiiiifh
iicctU'ti; ub.jft'l li'SHon in the nccossity ol" irrigation.
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.
