ECONOMIC REFORM STUDENTS
TO HAVE COOPERATIVE FARM

Dayton, Wash.-Dr. Marcel Pie
trzycki, promoter and student of eco
nomic reform, will establish the frs,
cooperative colony In this state at
Lubla farm, his estate near Starbuck,
early this fall. He recently returned
from Europe, where he had been to
study social and economic conditions.
He expects his plan to be followed
by the founding of other colonies
throughout this country. He said:
"I intend to locate Is families at
Duba this fall This number will be
increased later to 30 or more families.
None Of my land will be sold, but \
shall require the colonists to lease as
much of my farm as Is available in
common, paying for 1t from the crops
that are produced. I shall superin-
tend until the colonists have con-
vinced themselves of the merits Of
my system" Dr. Pietryzcki made an
unsuccessful attempt to establish a
colony three years ago. OF this he
said:
my former plan, which required
the homeseeker to buy the land, was
impracticable to the man of small
means, and it is such desire to ben
eft. With my present system man
Of small capital can acquire a COM
Portable home and a good income. The
colonists will work in common and
share the profits. I have found these
cooperative colonies very common in
Europe. They are advantageous In
many respects and disadvantageous
in none. Once the people Of this
country can be made to see the bene-
fits obtalnable through their own eff
forts such a system Of living will re-
place largely that Of the present"
Or. Pietryzcki is at work on a
pamphlet and other literature de-
scrptive Of the proposed colony. The
doctor is one Of the wealthiest land
owners in Columbia county and has
been active in developing this section
All his life he has been student Of
government reform and economic
conditions. His present plan Is a
broad one and viii entail the eXpendi-
ture Of several thousand dollars.

Especial Correspondence

Milton, May24.-W. A. Copeland
who came to this district from Spok-
ane some seven or eight months ago
and who for seven years prior TO his
coming here was an active memper
in the chamber of commerce at Spok-
ane told of plans he had laid out LOT
concrete irrigation bitches which Will
cover the entire twenty acre tract ne
purchased two miles and half north'
west of Milton last fall.
Mr.. Copeland has travelled a great
deal and understands irrigation in all
its phases. While in California he
studied the methods used in valley
in ;n. ,ower Iart # tie state, when
he has decided to put into operation
here. He claims there is water enough
in the Walla Walla valley TO supply
the entire valley with sufficient water
for irrigation purposes from the coun-
try right adjacent to Walla Walla
clear through to the Columbia river
should the people of his district adopt
the means of irrigation that is useo
in the highly irrigated projects ana
districts of southern California. He
claims that nine-tenths of the water
is being wasted and that water Is one
of the greatest blessings that the wal
In Walla valley now posses.
Mr.. Copeland's plan, that he will put
into operation, is to run concrete
bitches every so often through his
apple tract which he has recently set
out. He will then pipe the water
from those main bitches to the various
trees. He claims that the soil be-
tween the trees does not need the
water unless put to other uses but he
is a staunch believer in the cultiva-
ton of the soil between the trees The
pipes will be put under the soil at a
depth that will not interfere with the
cultivation of the land. There will
be absolutely no waste water but the
trees will be supplied with a suffi-
cient amount at any and all times,
making healthy growth possible and
assured.
Mr.. Copeland recently installed a
five horse power engine to supply hiS
three inch pipes with water from a
we'll which he dug to depth of forty
feet. This we'll will supply enough
water to irrigate his twenty acre tract
and he says that he is thinking of pur-
chasing another twenty acres and be-
lieves that he will have enough water
from this one we'll to irrigate the en-
tire place.
If Mr.. Copeland is right in this it
will prove a boon and blessing to this
valley. Others will take the same
means up hy there is no doubt and
instead Of using from one and one
half to two and one half inches of
water to the acre as is now being
done, a fraction of an inch will serve
the same purpose.
