Timely Warning

>HE NOTE OF WARNING
. sounded by A. Mcpherson
at the irrigation demonstration
appears to us to be all together
timely. Mr.. MCPHERSON, VINO
has had years of practical lrrl-
CATION experience and has made
a close study of soils, says that
unless the present irrigation
methods on the lighter soils OF
the valley are corrected, the
farmers are going to face a very
serious drainage problem. A
trip over the valley farms at the
present time is sufficient even for
the inexperienced observer to
see that there is foundation for
Mr.. McPherson's belief. I
Mr.. Mcpherson says that the
Columbia district has one OF the
very best irrigation systems In
the country, but that the pres
emit methods are wasteful and II
continued will be ruinous to
many acres of the valleys most
fertile lands.
Already some of the valley
farmers are appealing to the
managers of the district to af-
ford them some relief from seep-
ages which are much more trou-
blesome this year than ever be
fore. According to Mr.. McPher-
son this relief can in a large
measure be obtained by aban-
doning the present corrugation
method of irrigation and adopt.
ing the flooding method. The
superiority of the latter method
he says has been amply demon
I strated on the Twin Falls, the
Mendoza and the Hermistor
projects and is now being sue
cessfully used on the Burbank
project. He claims that this
method obviates drainage, saves
water and conserves the fertility
of the soil.

Outlook Good

xE ARE GLAD to hear from
IJ Judge King, chief counsel
of the reclamation service, says
the Yakima Republic. There has
been too much pessimism around
here on the subject of federal
aid for our irrigation projects
and the judges few words OF
cheer are timely. He thinks
when the treaty and some of the
pressing unfinished business of
the war is disposed of congress
will get around to the subject of
retaining the Western arid
lands. He even goes so far as
to say that Senator Jones bill
appropriating $250,O00,OO0 for
irrigation has many friends at
the capital. For our own part,
we look for that bill to pass at
an early date. Congress may
not be willing to part with the
entire sum of money for which
it calls at once; but it seems to
us there is every reason to be-
lieve money will be set aside to
make a new beginning on this
