It. II. Compton, of Corvallls, who
Is Interested with HI. Harris In n
tract of land under the line of the
proposed high lino canal on tho east
side, has beon In tho city some days,
conferring with Mr. Harris as to what
thoy would do In tho matter of culti
vating their tract tho present year.
Mr. Harris will bo away from tHoTal
Icy the greater part of tho season.
Mr. Compton said teday:
"I came largely to Invdsdgate tho
cost of Irrigation and tho possibility
of being nbto to obtain it. I have
concluded that tho richness of tho
soil of this valley cannot bo made
fully available without tho aid of
more water than falls In tho form of
rain horo annually. Last year our
land didn't yield nn average of J 10
an acre. That doesn't pay. I rcaflic
that tho short ylold was tho effect
of drouth. I know, also, that the on
ly way to overcome that danger Is
by Irrigation. Hence, we havn con
cluded that If wo can obtain Irriga
tion wo will opernto tho tract. With
out It wo cannot afford to.
"On corn and barley we ought to
rcnllzo $3fi an acre, counting tho
value of tho straw and fodder. Thnl
can bo done, wo figure, with Irriga
tion. And that Isn't a fancy figure,
either. Wo like to bo contorvatlvo.
Ily comparison, wo find that Irriga
tion will yield uo $25 an acre more
than wo got without It. That settle
tlin queatlon as to whether or not It
pays to pay tho price of water for
that purpose In two years our addi
tional yields will pay tho full sum of
thn cost of n perpetual water right.
What wo obtain as a result of Irrlgn.
tlon after that Is velvet. Ill addition
to that, It will greatly onliauco thn
value of our land to mnko It produc
tive In that way.
"It Heeins to mo that that Ih tho
tho only way to figure out this Irri
gation Jmslness and Its beneficial effects."
