Oregon Experiment Station through

"Soil Ia the basis of all agriculture
and its continued fertility Is fundo-
mental to permanent prosperity"
says Professor Powers. "Next.to the
soil, water furnishes the supply OF
white coal that gives value te arid
lands.
"Dry farming IL made practicable
only through the saving of moisture.
The necessity OF irrigation In western
Oregon can be obviatcd only by care
full storage of spring rain. Under
irriagtion. Il is fundamental TO util-
fxe all natural precipitation as far as
possible. a gain OF three bushels OF
grain per acre was obtained at the
Moro branch station by early plowing
and similar benefit by clean culti-
vafion.
.'Introduction OF the strip method
OF irrigation. the determination OF
size and length of run saved much
time. water and money. Introduc-
fion of improved crops such as alsike
and timothy has doubled the yield
and improved the quality OF hay with
about half the water required for the
Wild grasses Some GO00 acres have
been converted from Wild grass 10
clover and timothy meadows.
"a saving of so per cent OF the
water now used would about double
the irrigated areas In sections where
cultivated areas are limited by the
available water for irrigation"
Best methods OF thing white lands
I'm western oregon have already been
ascertnined. An experimental drain
arr r-Ftsm has been installed at the
Astoria branch station aud data has
been obtained on reclamation Of tide
and overflow lands.
Drainage and Improvement OF irri-
gated. water logged and alkali lands
are also being studied. The 3,000.-
OoO acres OF wet lands In Oregon are
said by Professor Powers TO offer
promise OF increasing production.
Agricultural and soil surveys have
been made on most OF the irrigation
and drainage projects to determine
the extent. properties and adaptable
tiles OF different soils. Altogether
2h million acres have been reported
on M feasible.
General soil surveys have been
made by the station on reclamation
project OF 2h million acres. SIX
areas have been soil surveyed by the
federal bureau OF soils. Detailed
survey by the government and col
lege has been completed for ave
counties.
These surveys show the character
of soil on each farm. The maps are
OF great value to prospective settlers
and farmers In the management OF
their soils.
