August (iuignard, former member nf
the directorate of the irrigation sys
tem, sent to Salem by the present
b-ianl, has returned with news that the
concern hai regained valuable power
and water rights on Hoed river. In
connection with their supply of water
for irrigating orchards, the directors
of the ditch company had tiled on
powtr, but. because of a widespread
opposition to such development, the
tiling had been allowed to lapse. Mr.
(iuicnard however, discovered that no
other individual or concern hail tiled on
the liver anil he at once renewed the
company's old rights.
' Jne point has been reached, save
Mr. Uuignard, "where considerable
improvement is necessary for a contin
uation of efficient service to the pa
tios of the Farmers' Company. At
I resent our bridge across Hood river is
ia such condition that it will be neces
sarv to renew it soon. A movement
ii on foot to eliminate the bridge, by
the construction of a dam at , our head
works and bringing our water down by
a ditch on the west side of the river.
A dam will gice us a f.r foot fall, and
we can develop 4.000 horse power. We
have tiled on 400 second feet of water
While there is no intention of present
electtical development on the part of
the board of the ditch company, 1 tint:
the sentiment strong for construction
of the dam, and utilization of the pow
er is sure to follow. Indeed, many c.t
us believe that in the near tuture our
sales of nower or revenue from lease
of the water flow will more than pay
all costs of operation of our irrigation
svstein. Orchards under the ditch in
such case w ill then have free irriga
tinn. None of those who were former
Iv so ptroiiylv opposed to an eventual
power development are now raising
any protest."

STRAWBERRY TOTALS
sufficiently large crop to insure hnan-
lal success. 1 his means manv blos-
oms maturing into large fruit. On the
ther hand, Unless great care is exer-
isetl in lertilization, especially with
nitrate there is danger from soft ber
ries of poor shipping quality. 1 unng
short season when extremely hot
weather prevails, berries thus giown
do not stand up well. However, there
are a few cases where at least one
application of such fertilizer will not
pay, and as already suggested the in-
ormation at hand appears to favor
applications after berry harvest. The
evidence supporting this is not final
however.
Another problem upon which the
tation is working is that regarding
the best time of topping and irrigat
ing. Some growers withhold topping
from two weeks to a month after the
end of berry harvest. Others top the
hints immediately and continue irri
gation. Several growers claim to have
necked up on this matter pretty close
ly and prefer the latter plan. In no
ase allow the plants to dry out.

HOOD RIVER NEEDS
A LANDING FIELD
I By Gordon O. I'.rown)
The strawberry harvesting season is
over and the grower must turn his at
tcntion once more to problems of fer
t lization. cultivation, topping, irriga
t.on, etc.
A good deal of data has already been
e illected regarding the use of enmmer
c al feritlizers for this crop as far as
s irir.g applicationsjare concerned. Lit
t e well established data is yet availa
' tie bearirg upon the subject of appli
cations after the strawberry harvest.
However, the information thus far col
I lected seems to support the idea that
; applications rut on after the berr? bar-

MeCroskev, representative of the Web-
foot Aircraft Co., here Saturday to ar
range for a landing for an airplane that
will be piloted from Salem to the
Italics next week, must remain content
for a while merely to see machines in
Might between other cities. Mr. Mc

available tracts in the vicinity of the

of an aeroplane.
Mr. Met roskey s tinding has etimu
lated the ( ommercial ( lub to action in

CONCRETE BRIDGE
TO BE PAVED SOON
Replying to a letter written by
Judge Blowers, who wrote to the State
Highway Commission asking that the
new concrete bridge over Hood river
there be paved, State Highway Ktigin
eer Herbert Nunn states that he has
notified contractors, and that the pav
ing will be laid as soon as practicable
Judge Blowers urged in his letter
that the bridge, the roadway of whic
is now exceedingly rough, be paved
before the heavy movement of apples
begins in September. The traffic over
the bridge for September, October and
November is heavier than at any other
season of the year.
Mrs. Bentley Advises W. R. C.
Mrs. L. M. Bentley, president of the

certificate entitles the member to
fare of one cent per mile for railroad
transportation. Mrs. Bentley, who
states that Oregon Post and Corps
headquarters will be estatdished at the
Hotel lieshler, Columbus, says the
state will send the biggest delegation
ever in attendance at a national en
campment. Mrs. Bentley advises all who wish to

With numerous residents offering the
loan of master paintings, the art ex
hibit, in charge of 1'. L. Manser, him
self an artist, will form an interesting
feature of the approaching county fair.
A number of local artists are planning
xlubits. Contests w ill be wuged by
tudents , f the high school and other
chools. A department will be con
tacted fur out of town artists, and dis-
lavs ot painted china and bric-a-brac
have been planned. A photographic
partment will also be arranged for
the display of portraiture and scenic
pictures, colored photographs, novel

a section available for school and high
scool students for either pencil or color
sketches.
The officers of the fair would like to
emphasize the fact that the very best
care wall be taken of everything en
trusted to them, anil special precau
tions will be taken to ensure the safe
eeping and return of all exhibits.

AFTER 29 YEARS
When Roscoe Smith, Master of a
freighter, in Cortland to load with a
cargo for F.urope, called on his brother.
Roy 1. Smith, and announced himself
as the local man's brother, Mr. Smith
says he thought he w as an Odd Fellow
and ottered to give him the grip.
"1 had not seen my briber in 2'J
years," says Mr. Smith, and you may
be sure that we had a great reunion,
talking over old das of Mississippi,
where vvc were born. Roscoe wan al
ways an adventurous rascal. When he
was about seven years old he captured
a neighbor's milch-goat and took it on
a trestle to show it a Mobile and Ohio
train. The goat had sense enough to
escape, but the train struck my brother
and it is a wonder that he ever lived
to captain cargo boats."
The visitor during the war period
was engaged in carrying supplies across
the Atlantic. On one occasion a tier
man U-boat tired a torpedo that barely
missed the boat. It passed between
his own ship and another of the sanm
convoy carrying a cargo of T. N. T.
"My brother told me that he would
have preferred having the torpedo hit
ting his own ship instead of the ammu
nition carrier," says Mr. Smith.
MANY ATTEND THE
GRANGE PICNIC
After twenty motor car loads of
Grangers and their friends) enjoyed a
basket dinner in Wondworth's grove,
near i'arkdale, last Wednesday, a most
timely program was presented.
Pomona's Worthy Matron, MrB. Wm.
Munroe, introduced the principal speak
er, A. G. Clark, of Portland. Those
present listened with close attention
while the speaker advocated "Buy at
Home," "Made in Oregon Goods," and
"Cooperation," and deplored the pat
ronizing of mail order houses. A lively
discussion followed, which, reduced to
simple terni!r means that the consumer
will buy where he can buy cheapest
and the producer w ill sell where he can
obtain best prices for his products.
The great question to be solved is :
Why the great difference between
prices received by producer and those
paid by consumer, and how can such
a condition be changed for the benefit
of both'.' Cooperation is the word.
Hood Kiver is Low
Hood river is unusually low for this
season of the year. Records of the
Pacific Power & Light Co. show the
lowest volume of water since the com
pany's plants were installed. The wa
ter also carries an unusualy heavy sed
iment, as the result of glacial disinte
gration. The low stage of the. stream has had
no effect on irrigation supply.
