Up TO this time, wAnuric" has not

What ~ said OF drainage in West
ern Oregon applies with considerable
force to irrigation. As Is well known,
such areas as those along the east
side OF the Willamette Valley as far
south as Eugene, an important part
OF the Mckenzie Valley and much Of
the Rogue River and Umpqua valleys
suffer from deficiency in moisture,
and could be made more productive
by moderate amount of irrigation
which In these cases can be applied at
minimum OF expense. Like the
drainage areas the lands are all set
tied. many we'll improved. and now
being worth from $40 to $50 or more
per acre. would be ideal security for
the capital necessary to reclaim them.
The reclamation problem in Cen
tral Oregon and most OF Eastern Ore
gon Is relative more important than
west OF the Cascades. Over there we
are not blessed with the large areas OF
land which are naturally productive.
We must sink or swim by reclamation
Of some sort almost everywhere.
DRY land farming alone and the
measure OF reclamation by irrigation
and drainage now existing will not
warrant any considerable additional
settlement. because It will not war
rant the additional transportation ia
cilitles necessary to make the country
economically or comfortably habit
able.
What this means to the state OF
Oregon and to our country may be
appreciated from the fact that In five
counties Of Central Oregon alone.
with which am now chiefly con-
cerned. there are roughly 100000
acres OF tillable land. an area as large
ms Massachusetts, and New Jersey
OF which only little over
10 per cent Is cultivated.
"At least half of the land returned
az cultivated Is natural hay land.
