Make Garden OF
Vast Dry Tracts

Several of the leading boosters for
the irrigation project from Talent
were up last Tuesday evening with
Superintendent Chinook OF the state
water department and met with a
large gathering OF those interested in
irrigation in the Ashland district.
While no definite plans were formu-
lated, profitable exchange of plans
and ideas was enjoyed and plans laid
for another meeting at future date.
At recent Talent meeting forty
landowners, representing 5000 acres,
voted in favor of adopting the dis
trict plan of irrigation. The Talent
men are decidedly in earnest and in
tend to get irrigation for their dis
trict regardless of what other sec
tions may do. Two projects are be-
ing investigated. that of bringing wa
ter from the Little Applegate through
Wagner gap and another to bring
water from Buck lake.
The Talent people would like to
bring the vast acreage across Bear
creek into the proposed district. A
great portion of this land across from
Ashland would grow almost anything
with water and would become a great
addition to the productive land
around the city. The Talent people
are willing to help, but Ashland must
get busy. 1t will be worth while.
