East, asked for by the North
western Fruit Exchange in behalf of
growers and shippers of the North
west, has brought to the surface an al
most universal plea. All of the rail
roads in the Northwest carrying fruit
were addressed in a memorial setting
forth the need for alleviation of mar
keting cost Of apples this year.
Business men generally and news
papers have added to the strong argu-
ments as given by the Exchange with
a comprehensive analysis of conditions
as they see them. Growers and ship
pers are endorsing the request on every
hand so that it may well be Said that
the request is unanimous.
It is the belief that the railroads
will decide to do everything in their
power to aid the grower in the face
of this wears conditions which are
represented by an immense crop over
the entire country and the closing of
dependable exports. The railroads are
vitally interested in the marketing Of
the crop 1t has been pointed out that
aid from this source will allow the
grower to place upon the market uu-
doubtedly much larger percentage of
his crop than he would otherwise do,
and it is possible to figure cut that
the railroads will be able to make
more money this year hauling apples
at a temporary reduced rate than they
could at their regular rates. This GER
tainly will be so in the long run if, as

Irrigation in Willamette Valley

merely by contact Of one soil particle
with another, and while its effect on
the soil is clearly seen, the water itself
is not visible. The hygrescoplc water
clings to the soil PARTICLES and is prac-
tically stationary with the soil. Of the
valley silt loans the maximum capillary
water content is about "a per cent, the
maximum amount proper for cultivation
is 27 per cent, the optimum water con-
tent best for cultivation and crop pro-
duction is about % per cent, the
drought point about IA per cent, and
the minimum moisture content is about
II per cent. Irrigation during seven
years test gave higher seasonal mois-
ture content, which was associated with
higher yields of nine standard William
ette Valley crops.
Interesting and Important.
Some of the incidental effects of irri-
cation as shown by these tests are not
only interesting but highly important
to the irrigation farmer as well. 1t
was shown among other things that
irrigation is associated with tempo
rary loss of moisture in the subsoils
due to reversed capillary movement.
The highest seasonal moisture con
tent in irrigated plants was obtained
in connection with early spring plow-
ing, manuring, crop rotations including
legumes, and frequent cultivation,
thereby maintaining crumb soil
mulch q to inches in depth over the
surface.
Irrigation likewise caused lowering
of the temperature to the extent of as
much as degrees of soils in cultivated
plats and as much as 10 degrees in
meadow plats.
Aside from these and other inciden
tai features irrigation is shown to have
accomplished its main purpose by pro
ducing an increase in the crop yields
During the seven years the average in
crease of all crops has been 65 per cent
1t altered the shape and size of the
plants and affected the seed products
causing better shaped ears and high
er termination of corn with lower
termination of beans.
Effect on Market.
Irrigation has likewise altered the
percentage of marketable products,
causing more beans in proportion to
plant, more beet in proportion to top,
but fewer potatoes in proportion to the
top produced. Irrigation has also
caused a slight change in the chemical
composition Of the products.
The effect of continued irrigation
upon the soil for several successive
years varies with the character of the
crops grown. The soils show slight
tendency to decrease in water capacity
and increase in volume weight with
irrigation where rank feeding crops
were grown, but to be improved in
these respects where soil building crops
were grown. Irrigation has caused
decided increase in organic content
where leguminous crops were grown
This comparison was made with soils
upon which legumes were grown with
out irrigation.
Profit Possible.

that many Of the railroads have re-
piled to their request in a way to indi-
cate that they themselves appreciate
the situation facing the industry this
year.

Especial to the Farm Magazine.)
r ROM experiments and observations
made by the Oregon Agricultural
College it appears that proper irri-
cation in the Willamette Valley will
provide a more favorable moisture con-
tent of the soil, and will aso aid in the
liberation of plant food and in its solu-
ton and conveyance to the plants.
Likewise it will increase the bacterial
activity of the soil and lead to a great
er root and top development sof the
plant. Furthermore, extra root develop
ment of the plant will tend to offset
any running together of the soil due to
irrigation.
Irrigation farming tends to remove
larger crops from the land and conse
quently larger amounts of fertilizer in
the way of refuse must be returned to
the land if its fertility is to be main
tained. 1t is more important to prac-
tice a careful rotation Of crops that
will permit the growing of clover or
some other soil building crop on the
land every few years, in irrigation
farming that in other methods. 1t is
also more necessary that irrigated
fields be plowed up deeply at frequent
intervals to maintain good state of
filth.
Crop Rotation.
Crop rotations in irrigation farm
ing should provide for the growing of
a good proportion of cultivated crops
each year, since cultivated crops re-
quire less water and use it later in the
season than do the meadow crops. A
rotation of soil building crops together
with the application Of manure main
tains the water holding capacity and
fertility Of soils, thereby lowering the
water cost of dry matter.
Larger amounts of manure can also
be used without making the soils too
open where irrigation is practiced. A
free working soil can be built up and
kept in higher state Of productivity
by tho use OF rotation including
legumes and the use of manure, in con-
nection with proper irrigation.
Irrigation farming finds its highest
development in connection with in
tensive cultural methods. 1t will become
of increasing Importance in Western
Oregon on all free working soils in
connection with intensive dairying, hop
production and truck farming.
Moisture Points.
Willamette Valley silt loan under
field conditions has several important
moisture points. 1t will bo recalled in
this connection that water in the soils
has three distinct aspects--free, capil-
larry and Microscopic. The free moisture
appears as water and moves chiefly by
gravity. The capillary water moves

STILL FLOODING THE RUINS.
Engines Guard Against Revival Of
Blaze at Gait Warehouses.

Three engine companies this morning

day night fire in the warehouses of Will

streets northwest, Chief Wagner deem
ing it advisable to continue flooding the
mass of hay and debris until the last
spark has disappeared.
Fourteen hundred tons Of hay were
stored in the building, as well as auanti-
ties Of flour and grain. Fire in the hay
is what necessitates the retention of the
several companies in the vicinity of the
ruins, as there is danger of the fire
breaking out at any time.

operations begun.
Fire Marshal Nicholson and Mr.. Gait
feel certain that spontaneous combustion
was not responsible for the fire. The
former thinks the fire was the work of
an incendiary, while the latter says it
may have resulted from carelessness. He
has no idea, he says, that any person
