Small Farmers Relate Experiences of
Past Year on Small Tracts of One

Comfort and Have Money In Bank
Through Irrigation.

BirufinK ft boii of inereiiHed crops, in
creased land values niiil Hie coming
of prosperity tripping along at the
heelH of irrigation, and now comes
' the "little-lander" and insists that to
him water is ns great u benefit as to
his bigger brethren.
Tuesday three of the "little-hinders"
who own small places on the Pa
cific highway north of Mcdford gave
their views on the use of water and
of the results made possible in berry
and garden culture by irrigation. All
three of these men are primarily in
terested in strawberry raising.
Faintly Mvcm Off Aero.
The first of these men has the least
land of any one acre, part of
wiiich is taken up by his bouse, barn
nnd other outbuildings. This man, J.
K. Stevenson, has been able to sup
port three people in comfort, pay for
his land and water right and bank a
little money each year from the re
turns from this acre of laud, although'
he bus found it necessary to hire
part of the work, such as hoeing,
done. In addition to raising berries,
garden truck and chickens enough to
feed the family of three, the hind in
mill produced irfillO worth of mar
ketable products.
Adjoining the holding of Sir. Stev
cuson is the two-acre berry ranch of
C. II. Howell, who from two-thirds of
an acre sold in li)l," 10,11111) cups of
strawberries of fancy ipialily, in ad
dition to a large :iiiiitily of canning
berries. The ltllti yield was almost
ns heavy, in spile of heavy frosts.
The price was high, so that the
monetary yield in ltllti was practic
ally the same as in llll.'i.
Mr. Howell has received consider
able publicity in the columns of var
ious mnga.iucs because of the re
niarkuble showing he bas:made on his
little ranch.
Strawberry Itutsing.
A iinrlcr of a mile up the bighwav
from the Howell place is the t'nur
acre tract of YV. 1''. Smith, another
ardent strawberry cullurist. Mr.
Smith has been a resilient of the val
ley for the past twenty-nine years,
and for some time was located at
Kagle l'oint, where he was well
known as a raiser of onions. Since
that time lie has decided to center
his efforts on strawberry raising.
During the past season, on a
strawberry patch of tliree-iiuarters
of an ncre, Mr. Smith raised -ion
crates of strawberries, which he sold
at $t.2" per crate. As fust ns pos
sible Mr. Smith is bringing bis land
under strawberries ami hopes within
n year to have the entire four acres
covered with the plants.
These three places use irrigation
all dining the summer season, ap
plying the water at l'i'citicnt inter
vals. Tin' hind is of hanlpnn lonim-
, tion, with sand ami gravel similar to
the bind on the desert.

ardent boosters for irrigation, may

What Thcso Farmers Think,
. J. H. Stevenson: ''A man is, plain
ly speaking, a fool to do without wa
ter on his hind. If he hasn't the
money to provide water, can't borrow
it, then he'll he better off to sell half
his laud and use the money to buy
water for tbo irrigation of the re
mainder." C. II. Howell "My experience with
water and my observation of land
without water bus taught me this:
You couldn't donate nic a ranch in
this valley, provided I bad to farm
it without, irrigation."
W. F. Sniilh "The small farmer
caricit hope to succeed ill this val
ley without irrigation. It is abso
lutely essential to the successful cul
ture of heivics, vegetables and beets."
The playing of Irvine Teicll, a 1:1-yenr-old
local boy, and the first ap
pearance of the Medfold boys' band
were two very interesting features of
the splendid concert given by the
Mcdford band at the Niitatorinm on
Tuesday evening. The results of
Ibiiidmastcr Rowland's conscientious
efforts were plainly visible in the
playing of both bauds.
The young baritone soloist, Irvine
Terell, who has been studying under
Mr. Howland for the past three
months, lias u promising future, the
lad being only 13 years old, and with
proper handling will make his mime
in the near future.
The Mcdford boys' band demon
strated the capabilities of fifteen
youngsters of the age of 11 to 14.
under the training of it competent
teacher. The playing of the young
bund took the audience by storm, the
boys being compelled to repeat their
selection.
The Mcdford band, now up to a
strength of nearly forty, was a keen
contrast to the bund of about twelve,
Mr. ltowland took charge of on his
arrival in Mcdford eight months ago.
During tile last lew months the band
has taken advantage of the winter
scuson to fill no its ranks, and Tues
day's concert showed the results of
many long, faithful rehearsals. Mcd
ford has never bail a band that could
compare willt the present organiza
tion, and it is doubtful if there is n
bnnd outside of Portland or San
Francisco that could provide the fin
ished program presented at this con
cert. Traveling professional bunds
that have stopped here have played
"II Trovaforo," very little better than
it was played by the Mcdford hand.
The band's performance in "Tan
ered," a standard overture by Ilos
sini, was wonderful, the soft and loud
passages were .well-observed. The
musicians were as one under the
mai'ie control of their capable- con
ductor. The descriptive patrol, "Dub
lin liny," and the light encores were
very popular, and repetitions were
demanded. Miss (ieraldine Thciss'
solo from "Martha" was listened to
with the greatest attention, the ar
tiste being the recipient of a flatter
ing encore. Mr. (leorge Andrews'
version of "Toreador," ft out "Car
men," was one of the ponihir solo
ist's best offerings. The contribution
of the (iiartet was the musical num
ber of the evening and many pleas
ing renin i ks were oassed on their
