Bona fide farms, rather than experimental plots, were slee ted for the demonstrations be cause it was felt they would give a truer picture of the value of hot water irrigation in crop rotation and make possible the use of field - size irrigation systems in the demonstrations.

PERSONAL Call on Us For the demonstrations the sprinkling system is equipped with a frost alarm system that even gives a warning of the movement of cold air pockets into the area. The alarm is actuated when temperatures get down to 35 degrees. Each orchard has a standard wea ther bureau shelter with a wea ther bureau pattern maximum and minimum thermometer on a Townsend support and near each shelter is a Townsend support that holds an open bulb mini mum thermometer. The 170 acres of farm land used for the demonstration are located on the McKenzie River. This has made it possible to draw cold water from the river for a second smaller irrigation system that will also be used in the demonstration so a com parison can be made to the effect of cold and warm irri gation water on crop pro duction. The demonstration project is slated to run for three years with the estimated cost $1,- 000,000 and funds coming from the Eugene Water and Electric Board and the Federal Water Pollution Control Commission. Vitro Corporation of America, which has offices in Portland and at Richland, Washington, has the responsibility of manag ing the project, with Jack Han sell, who was at one time with the extension service, the man ager of the project.
