IRRIGATION METHODS TO BE STUDIED AUGUST 7, 8 Dates of the fifth annual Wil lamette Valley Irrigation tour have been announced for Tues day and Wednesday, August 7 and 8, by Art King, extension specialist in soils and irrigation, who has already arranged a par tial itinerary. This year’s tour is planned to aid farmers in learn ing more of the “how” of irri gation than the “why,” as the rapid expansion in the use of sup plemental water in western Ore gon in the last few years is an indication that large numbers are convinced of it« desirability. The 1933 reports of western Oregon county agents show that preliminary irrigation surveys were made last year on 252 dif- derent farms involving close to 10,000 acres. More than 1200 acres had water applied for the first time last year. The tour this years will start near Hillsboro in Washington county and will include stops in a number of counties in northern and central Willamette valley. Growers are invited to take part in the entire tour, or visit only one point with the group if pos sible. The detailed itinerary will be announced later.
