AN IMPORTANT WORK,

The Department Of Commerce
and Labor at Washington, d. c.,
is about TO publish an important
work on irrigation throughout
the western states. AS Eastern
Oregon will have an important
place in this publication the in
quiry in Harvey county should
be aided in every possible way.
II. w. Grunsky, n special agent
of the bureau, now in Canyon
City, writes us that he will in
the next few days visit Burns in
the interests of this work but as
he will be unable to visit every
irrigator he urges all persons who
have even n few acres of watered
ground to send a brief description
of their plant to A. p. Stover,
state agent at Medford, Oregon.
Less than so per cent Of those
whose addresses are known have
responded from Harvey county
to questions sent by mail. Unles
the second notice mailed a few
days ago from Medford brings
better results this county will
come off with a poor showing as
compared with other districts.
Some individuals, because they
find one question that does not
apply to their case lay the blank
aside. This is a mistake. They
should do the best they can with
the remaining question and mail
promptly.
The principal facts wanted are;
Mileage of ditch, acre under
water, date of first use, and loca-
ton by section, township and
range. Like all information given
for census purposes this is Of
course confidential.
The volume to be published will
not only distribute interesting
information hitherto unobtain-
able but serve to advertise the
different sections. 1t is worthy
the attention of all interested
parties. Replies not mailed in
the next week or so will be Of no
value to the department. .
