first Of all, through the creation OF
public sentiment favorable to the
enterprise. There is no class nor con-
dition Of our people who are not
vitslly interested in this matter and
we could talk 1t on the street or in the
homes Of neighbors and friends. dis
cussion always means education and
when this has had full play, let there
be meeting OF the citizens called to
openly consider it. Let ideas become
concrete and in that way leverage
would be found for the movement.
Does any good business man or real
estate promoter doubt if a ditch of
proper size were constructed to inter

Of gravity-thence to be distributed
through the town and onto the great
areas below, north of the river, also a
similar ditch or one adequate to sup
ply the territory on the south side,
would enhance the value of real es-
tate from one-fourth to one-half the
present value. Should you think this
too great tax ON our resources to
make the enterprise all our own and If
that view were to prevail, it would be
within our reach still, for there are
great aggregations Of capital on every
hand awaiting profitable investment
and IL there proved: to be demand
for the water that would warrant the
outlay, private enterprise might take
it up. do not undertake to instruct
in this matter. but am confident, il
we will but discuss it, way will
appear. No man can fail to see
what such an enterprise, IL well car
ried out, would do for Grants Pass
and the surrounding country. 1t
would give to us all that my friend
suggested Of prosperity, derived from
largely increased settlement, better
roads, green fields where are now
arid wastes and posi- lities for
larger growth, on all lines.

II it is necessary to stack the hay in
the field 1t should be protected in some
way from the rain and snow. A good
method is suggested by Kimballs
Dairy Farmer, as follows: Take three
small wires and weave into them Stats
about eight inches wide and four feet
long. These are placed about two feet
apart. The length of the frame will
depend entirely upon the height of the
stack. 1t should be large enough to
cover the top Of the stack well and
keep the hay from being blown Off. If
you wish to improve on this tack tarred
selt roofing paper to the Stats. This
gives you a practically tight roof over
the stack.

Editor Courier

Editor Courier:
It was beautiful day in Septem'
ber, one of those days which in Ore
gon gives a sense Of the matohless
glory Of Autumn. that my friend
Harth made me his guest for drive
down the great valley of the Rogue
below Grants Pass. This gentleman
is we'll known business man OF the
town, man who has had no small
share in the development of its hest
life and progress for many years. He
both entertained and instructed me.
After leaving the town our course
was TO the right at many points close
skirting the foothills, while en-
circling us on every hand and back Of
the foothills lowered the greater, even
"the everlasting mountains. and the
wonderful Valley of the Rogue to the
left Of our way, In wide expanse and
seemingly interminable tn. was be-
fore us. Our way at many points lay
through the wood and the air seemed
athrill with bird song-the rabbit and
the squirrel disported themselves on
every hand while back in the denser
wood gazed that timid sentinel, the
deer.
Our itinerary embraced several of
the hopyards where we were court
eously received and found busy
workers for the God of harvest had
called his servants and there must be
diligence to secure his bounty, yet as
we passed by the village of tents, we
found laughter and song all about,
happy faces and willing hands.
The wide acreage of fruit in great
variety is better seen than described, as
is also the melons and other products of
the farm. As we talked by the way |
said to my friend, why is it, in
view of the possibilities here-con.
ditions of soil and climate, that good
roads are 40 slow in coming. We
surely muhl nhNt lHtct UT tiulkIu'
tion will not set this way, and that
is the crying need now. " "fes, "
he replied, 1--WE want better roads,
for they would prove great factor in
the growth we all desire but we must
have irrigation first. Put onto the
now arid lands all about us water, and
we can have IL in abundance from
yonder splendid river, and this whole
region will bloom as the rose,
people would pour in and this would
become Gods country; all for com.

ty of our town. and the adjacent lands,

enterprise and be made a paying in

my friend had struck the right chord
and that Grants Pass should get into
line for the realization of an enter.

its people, Lett irrigationrbe our

Machinery Now Does Much Work on

The success of the milking machine
completes the cycle of labor saving ap-
paratus Oh the dairy farm. One may
now plow the land with riding sulky
plow drawn by horses or traction
motor. rework IL with riding harrow,
put in the corn seed with riding
planter. do much of the cultivating
with a machine upon which he rides,
drawn by horses. and cut the silage

AMI ears into pieces. say. quarter OF
an inch long, which are conveyed up In
to the silo by an automatic carrier.
Hnying and siInge Apparatus.
Hay is likewise cut, harvested and
baled by machinery. Then for feeding
the silage is shOveled into a tank that
runs upon an overhead track In front
of the cows. and suitable feed is
deposited in front Of each COW. Hay is
brought from the bay to the COW
stable by an adaptation Of the horse
fork. The milking machine has done
away with the drudgery of that
operation. The machine is washed by
power, and milk cans and pals are
sterllized with steam jet after being
perfectly cleaned by the improved
washing powder in the water.
Handling Bedding and Manure.
The bedding used for cows is run
through power cutter so that it is fine
and absorbs all the urine. The cows
dropplngs and soaked bedding are
shoveled into tank or carrier that is
lowered to the floor while being filed,
then rises to its track above and runs d.
rect to the manure spreader, into which
the contents are automatically dumped.
Horses haul the spreader to the field,
and the manure is at once applied
