JUNIPER FLATS NOW
GREAT ORCHARD LANDS

The Dalles, Ore.-Juniper Flat, a
great level plateau south of here,
which, contains something over 100
square miles, has never produced
anything but wheat. Now it is spring
ing up in orchards, berry patches and
diversified farms. This change, which
has converted a near-desert to veri.
table, garden, is all due to the opera
tions Of the Wapinita Irrigation Co.,
which began work here six months
ago. Water was brought from the
high hills to the east of the plateau
and works have now been completed
to the point where every farm on the
Bat can be supplied with abundant
water. Juniper Flat is bounded
roughly. The principal towns in
Juniper Flat are Wapinita, Maupin,
Tygh Valley and Wamic. The ter
ritory is tributary to The Dalles and
is conencted with this city by rail-
road and stage lines.

WOULD INCREASE
VALUE OF ALFALFA CROP
Two Million Dollars Would be Added
to Value on One Hundred Thou.
sand Acres.

o. A. C. Experiment Station, Cor
wallis, July 21.-That sulfur will
make at least a ton an acre increase
in yield on 100000 acres Of alfalfa
lands in arid and semi-arid sections
of the state, is indicated by fertilizer
trials in most of the important alfal-
ia growing sections of southern and
eastern Oregon.
"The value of this increase at $40
ton would amount to $2,000,000,"
says w. L. Powers, chief in soils.
"As yet farmers have used sulfur on
only about one-sixth of the area and
Its use can be proftably extended.
"Sulfur Is best applied to alfalfa
land in the fall and narrowed in as
1t takes some time for 1t to become
effective. An application Of 100
pounds an acre is sufficient to meet
crop requirements for four or five
years. The material can be applied by
hand or with land plaster spreader.
Where sulfur costs $40 ton the ini-
tial cost of the material for one acre
would be $1,00,
Recent quotations have been re-
ceived on sulfur from different
sources ranging 90 to % per cent
purity to cost s27 to $40 ton deliv-
cred in 40 ton car lots to Oregon
points. On account Of slow freight
movements and prospective increase
in rates, alfalfa growers in sections
where sulfur is known to help, are ur-
ged to order material needed now and
to pool their orders with cooperative
agents of county farm bureaus.

GASOLINE TAKES A FIVE
CENT JUMP IN PRICE
Inability of California to Supply Lo-
cal Demand and Consequent Impor-
tation OF Gas from Utah and Wy
oming Cause for Increase.

Gasoline Is up five cents. This
WAS the word received by local agent,
George w. Milholland of the Stan
dard Oil company last Friday morn
ing. And kerosene went gas one bet
ter, being quoted at six cent In
crease. The following telegram was
received by Mr.. Milholland from the
Portland Office:
effective Immediately. Advance
your market prices all grades kero-
sene, all deliveries six and one-half,
price gasoline all deliveries five cents
per gallon. In announcing increase
In prices make the following state
ment to the press The Portland field
for gasoline and kerosene is normal
ly supplied from California, but the
acute shortage in Califonia has made
1t impossible to supply from that
point. Our stations in Portland field
east of the Cascades are now being
supplied with gasoline and kerosene
purchased by this company from re-
fineries in Wyoming and Utah. and
the new prices in effect are based on
the higher cost of products. Our sup
pliers now assure US that they will
supply sufficient gasoline and kero-
sene to meet the full demand con-
tingent, OF course, facilities and ade-
quate supply of tank cars
In an article entitled "Conserva-
tion and Curtailment" in the July
issue Of the Standard Oil California;
Bulletin, the gasoline situation is
touched upon in part. "As the whole
Pacific Coast is aware, the motorists
for some weeks this year have been
unable to obtain all the gasoline de-
sired. The system Of curtailment Of
gasoline for non-commercial use, in
. effect at all points. without discrimin-
alton. was brought about by the
pressing demand of public duty.
Early this year the company be-
gan to warn the public of the pre-
carious situation concerning petrol
cum products. As the year grew old
er, what had previously been foreseen
came true--there was not enough
gasoline to meet all the requirements
Of the industry and agriculture and
all OF the desires of motorists. Re-
ports of a dangerous situation came
down from the farms. The planting
season was on and there was insult
cient gasoline distributed to keep the
tractors and irrigation pumps going.
Farm operators came to San Francis
CO and told of idle factors and crops
burning up because of lack OF water.
Conservation was a necessity
The method had to be determined,
There was only one course--to con-
serve gasoline by curtailing the least
essential consumption Of the product.
What constituted the least essential
was clear-joy-riding. Hence, sales
to non-commercial cars were curtail-
cd and the gasoline thus saved de-
voted strictly to essential use.
Thus far success has been attain
ed. There has been no appreciable
interference with either industry or
agriculture. Had cutailments not
been put into effect, there would not
have been enough gasoline for these
essential things, and the situation
would have been economically very
serious, affecting everyone on the Pa
cifc coast, even including the motor
ist who has been curtalled."
