SAYSlRRIGATION IS A NECESSITY J. P. Hansen Says Since 1887 Only Two or Three Years When There Has Been Sufficient Moisture to Mature Fruit Crops Orchard Made Profitable by Use of Water. "Since I cume to the vnllov In 1SST lliero have linen lint two or lb roe 5'onrn when tuero linn been auffkicuf moisture resulting from rainfall tu properly mature lite fruit crops. The odds are too grout and nature having failed, it Is up to I he orchardlft to supply tho doriclcncy with irrlmi tion.". . , . . The foregoing Is a statement, made Thursday afternoon hy J. J. Hansen who with liin Ron ownst and operntts an orchard south of M-1!'onf. There nro '.'.t acres in tho orchard, 20 lj"in jj: in hearing. The contrast Uttu-ottn oichardlUR with and without Irrigation- was strnuKly illustrated by Jlr. llansn In a conyiui'lson of the yield from his orchard In tho year 1915 without li tigation and the present your with Ir rigation. Wlmt iVutor Jil. In 1913 1271 boxes of fruit were shipped, 150 boxes were of averane size, fruit and the remainder was tin doralzcd, 400 boxes beliiK bo small ns to necessitate their being shipped as Jumbles. This year from the .mmo acreage, after 750 boxes woro blown off by tho high wind of last summer, 3837 boxes were shipped, all except 10 boxos be ing fancy and extra fancy grades. A large proportion of I ha fruit was sold as extra fancy half boves. IteturnB have boon rccelvod on 1700 boxes, the Producers' Fruit company paying Mr. Hansen and son 13800 for this ship ment. Returns from the remainder of the. shipments, Mr. Hansen bo- HevoH, will bring tho total net returns, above SUO00. lUilwocn 11 to Row. Ilotween rows of troos Mr. Hansen this year sot out a small patch of Block carrots. Thursday afternoon four rows, earh 400 feet long wcro dim. tho result being slightly over a tou of carrots. Tho ground dug was approximately 1-10 or an acre. Sam ples of those carrots are on display In tho window of the Iloguo Ttivor Valioy Canal company. Soveral times before, Mr. Hansen has tried to raise carrots without irrigation, and the return, on small plots of ground hus boen at the rate of considerably un der a ton to the acre. Mr. Hanson's soil Is light and water was applied heavily twice during Ihe season. To save the fruit buds In Ike 1915 season, Mr. Hansen and bin sou haul ed water rrom near crock with two tank wagons for 2(1 days, spreading tho water In small circles under the troes. Tho cost of hauling tills water was about $300. To bring li-rlgallon to the orchard cost $1110. Yet at the cost of $3110 the water hauling was !rofltHble, was absolutely necessary to save tho buds. When Mr. Hansen had finished his spell with the tank wagon several of his neighbors bor rowed lliem and followed suit In sav ing their fruit crop for the coining season. Water luvnltuiMr. "Irrigation cost us ?'jn an ;k re,' slated Mr. Hansen, "but jou couldn't buy our r if-li t today. If we could not! replace It, for ?ieo per nn-n. Irriga tion is indispensable to liie liosuo rUer valley orchurdh-t. Without it an orchard cannot be. operated at a prollt. We are assured of a plentiful j supply of walcr under the present ditch yet we are In favor of the dis trict plan, even though It will cost us more money. H will be worth the additional sum. If the entire dis trict comes under Irrigation and Is more prosperous, we fitunnt fail to lie more prosperous, also. The crea tion of the proposed irrical ion dis trict will be or the benefit of the ninny, tile storekeeper, the banker, tile laborer, us well as the farmer and orchardist.

Lyon is recom- niendliiK to Director Manniui; that 'experimental work be inaugurated immediately, taking up problems of treatment of Oregon ores. This news will be welcomed generally because of the many rebellious ores In both liastern and Western Oregon, tho KUtisfactory solution of .which will give additional impetus lo Oregon's rapidly increasing mineral produc tion. ' it iias been arranged that tile Ore gon bureau will select the problems to be solved, while tho federal bu reau with their laboratories and staff will co-operate and assist iu deter mining the process of extraction, which will be the best for our ores. The above arrangement accords witli the statement, which came from Washington, D. C, a few days ago to the effect Hint Seattle, Wash., will be tho site of the Northwest Mining Experiment Station, and that the sub stations will be established iu Oregon and Idaho. from accenting work voluntarily only because it was offered by Hermans.
