FLYING SQUADRON HERE.
Medford Irrigation Boosters Visit
Ashland Saturday.

One portion of the Medford irriga-
tion flying squadron was in Ashland
Saturday afternoon. They were here
in the interests of the high line ditch
and assert that water from Fish lake
can be put onto Bear creek lands up
to the 2,000-foot level. Their work
they state is in no conflict with the
proposed scheme to irrigate 5000
acres from Keene creek, but will
supplement that.
Mr.. Conner, who was with the
party, stated that an English COM
pany which has become interested in
the matter has offered to finance the
canal, providing the necessary acre
age can be signed up on such terms
that it will not be necessary to pay
any portion of the $50 per acre in
the first three to five years, and the
total payments will be spread over
twenty years at per cent. The
maintenance fee will be $3.50 pei
acre, payable annually.
Those in this city Saturday were
w. ]. Mundy, D. R. Wood and G. w
Conner of Medford, and T. H. Jack
son "of Jackson county"
They stated that the water from
Fish lake, Four Mile lake and the
connecting watershed was sufficient
to irrigate $4,000 acres, but thai
they only intended to irrigate 55,
900, and would start work if 10000
acres is signed up at once They alst
state that they have practically
signed up the Waite lands on Beal
creek opposite Ashland.

and alfalfa with 15 inches. The
truck gardener will need his Is
inches and small fruits may be placed
in the same class.
NOW let us turn our attention
to one of the most important factors
in our future prosperity--the pear
and apple. The pear being a compar-
atively early fruit in its maturity
will reach perfection, in ordinary
soil, with a water supply of 10
inches, while apples, after reaching
the full bearing stage, will demand
no less than Is inches.
Proper distribution of our aver
age rainfall cannot be expected, con-
sequently our deficiency is greater
than our mean of 5.64 inches would
indicate. The fact is self-evident
that in order to have a full yield we
must make up this deficiency, rang
ing from to 10 inches, from some
artificial source, and the only feas-
ible means of obtaining this is
through the medium of general
system of irrigation.
Some have advanced the argu-
ment that certain soils do not re-
quire more water, being naturally
supplied by sub-irrigation. This
area is so limited we may pass il
without further notice. Where is
your garden spot that does not de-
mand an almost daily supply? The
feeding roots of the pear and apple
trees rarely extend below IL inches
and your sub-irrigation would have
to run shallow indeed to be benefi.
cial
Another trite phrase is that il
sticky you can make mud balls al
any season of the year. l would an
swer yes, and at the same time youl
trees have stopped growing, youl
fruit is small of size and immature
through lack of moisture. Having
used water on various kinds of stick,
know this to be true.
"Does it pay to irrigate? On,
acre irrigated is worth three withou
it. This will be verified by the divi
, dends of tho future.

Moore furnishing the answers.

Because the democrats continu-

Did it revise the tariff down

1T did, and equalized many du-
ties"
If the people enjoyed wonderful
progress under the Payne law why
did they complaint"
'They listened to ambitious poll

journals with axes to grind, maga-,
zine essayists who found it more
profitable to write fiction than to
work, theoretical college professors,
non-producers and few sincere re-
formers who were misinformed and
misled"
