VISION SAVED PORTLAND I Henry Collins, a former president of the Pendle ton Round-up, who underwent sur gery here last weekend will retain the vision of one eye. Sprinkler Irrigation Costs Low for Plants at Capacity Many of the sprinkler irrigation systems now in use in the Wil lamette valley are being operated far below capacity and In nearly every case it's costing the farmer money. That's the conclusion reached by an Oregon State college experi ment station economist in a study of operating costs of sprinkler sys tems In the Willamette valley, M. H. Becker, OSC assistant ag rlcutural economist, gathered In formation on 111 farms using Forest Fires Hit By Smokejumpers ALTURAS Twentieth-Century Fox Technicolor film "Red Skies of Montana" which comes to Klamath Falls Feb. 10 depicts the horrors of rampaging forest fires, and arduous activity of the new smokejumper program. According to Modoc Forest head quarters, nine fires were handled In the Klamath National Forest last season entirely by Jumpers. sprinkler Irrigation. He found that costs in 1050 averaged about $2 for applying an acre inch of woler. They ranged from less than $1 to nearly ill an acre men. The OSC economist reported that lowest costs were found when sprinkler systems were operated as near as possible to capacity during the critical Irrigation per iod. Becker said it was costing $3,11 an acre inch to Irrigate on farms where sprinkler systems were be ing used at only 23 per cent of their capacity. Irrigator! using their ayatema at 81 per ceni of capacity were getting by (or only 11.03 an acre Inch. Of the HI lystems covered by the 080 survey, 43 were reported aa having excess capacity too big for the acreage to be covered. Foi. ly-five systems had the recom mended capacity but only 14 of those were properly designed to give even distribution of water at the lowest total cost. Then there were 17 systems that were judged too small to give adequate cover, age to the acreage to be Irrigated. It all adds up to the fact that many Willamette valley sprinkler systems need a change In design for more efficient operation. Deck er explained. Such changes will nav off In lower Irrigation costs. molasses, etc..

University of Califor nia College of Agriculture, found this new synthetic Insecticide will prevent mile ro-lnlestatlons lor about a month alter treatment. Heavy mite Infestations lower egg production and weaken birds. II left unchecked, mites can even tually sap the Hie out of a bird. The main problem of treating the birds Is getting the material next lo the skin. The tiny niltes live their lives In the fcaUicrs and suck blood from Uie birds. So far Individual hand treatment gives best results. Pinches of the chemical, harmless to chickens and man, arc put under llic feathers on various parts of the bird. Furman Is now trying to work nut a dusting method which will be faster and still as effective as Individual hand treatment.
