The corn that won first prize at
Walla Walla during the recent Corn
Show, was grown on $3.50 acre land
and the ear of corn that won first
prize was grown on $500 acre land.
The Morrow county exhibit that was
exhibited by W. D. Newton and took
the second prize over everything
from Oregon, Washington and Idaho,
was grown on s15 land. This shows
the great opportunities in this coun-
ty for a much larger return can be
made on the amount of money in
vested. Mr.. Newton states that he
has $1,000 acres that he is selling
at $3.50 to SIS per acre which is
the same land as that which the prize
winning corn was grown on. Be-
side this practically all of the land
is within the artesian we'll belt.
In writing of the Newton exhi-
bit in the Sunday Oregonian, Add
son Bennett says, that simple an
nouncement means wonders to those
who know about the general farming
conditions in that county; but 1t
means a lot more when it Is stated
TIT Mr.. Newlon's farm is in prac-
tically the center of that great stretch
o. sage brush land extending some
10 miles south from the Columbia
river, land that used to be consider
ed worth not over six bits an acre,
the price at which most of it was for
merly sold.
"Mr. Newton is comparatively a
newcomer in Morrow county, or in
Oregon for that matter. He was
prosperous business man in Seattle
until some two years ago. He IN
some way became imbued with the
idea that artesian water could be
found on the great fiat lying between
Irrigon and Heppner and began drill
ling to see if he could verify his be-
lief. He found the water all right
but he went through about as much
grief as one man can stand and also
about $4,000 in getting two flowing
wells completed.
water was struck in the first we'll
at a depth of 246 feet in October,
1916 the second one was finished to
a depth of 342 feet early this month.
The first we'll flows at a rate of 270
gallons a minute and the latter at a
rate of 500 gallons minute. The
water is flowing eight feet above the
surface of the ground, so for irrigat-
ing it can be carried all over almost
any of the quarter sections in that le-
vel country.
Il am not going to dwell over
much on what thed iscovery Of ar
tesian water means to that section
If the reader is not conversant with
conditions in that vicinity he weuld

told that it means the revolution of

farming conditions in Morrow Coun-
ty. ir. Newton says there is no
doubt that the artes1an area embrac-
es some 10000 acres, using his farm
as center. A we'll can be put down
for about $1,000, now that they know
how, and there is lot of land for
sale in this artesian belt at from $40
to $12.50 an acre.
Adding the cost Of the we'll and
what laterals would be needed for
flooding the land quarter section
would cost ready for farming by ir-
rigation less than $40 an acre. But
leaving out the irrigating and suppos-
ing that the water was used only for
domestic and stock purposes Mr..
Newton has proven this year that all
sorts of vegetables and farm crops
can be grown there as we'll as il any
of the dry-farming belts of the West.
