than with the owners of the land in- 

 dividually. 



Three thousand acres of raw land in the 

 west end of Umatilla county, Oregon, 

 will be brought under irrigation and 

 cultivation next season according to 

 County Watermaster L. A. Rieneman. 

 The land consists of 1,000 acres un- 

 der the Furnish project, 1,000 acres 

 under the Western Land and Irriga- 

 tion project, 500 acres under the Uma- 

 tilla project and 500 acres under the ' 

 West End extension. 



Land owners in the Pine Grove dis-> 

 trict, seven miles east of Klamath 

 Falls, met recently and discussed the 

 organization of an irrigation district 

 and the construction of a high-line 

 ditch from which to water their lands 

 with water pumped from the main 

 canal of the Klamath project. It is 

 proposed to pump the water from the 

 main Government canal by electricity. 

 An irrigation district will be formed, 

 since the Government recently let it 

 be known that it would rather con- 

 tract with an irrigation district com- 

 prising the lands of a certain section

Pumps and windmills are rapidly 

 transforming Llano Estacado, the 

 Staked Plains of Western Texas, 

 into a vast irrigated farm. The vast 

 water basin which underlies the plains 

 was only discovered four years ago, 

 but the development since then has 

 been tremendous, covering nearly 

 1,000,000 acres. 



One concern purchased 60,000 acres 

 of land in the Plainyiew territory two 

 years ago, and it is its purpose to pro- 

 vide water for the irrigation of all of 

 it by the centrifugal pumping method. 

 It has already punctured the earth 

 with fifty-four large wells and placed 

 a pumping plant upon each hole. The 

 plans of the company call for the 

 drilling of 346 more wells and the in- 

 stallation of that many additional 

 pumps and engines.
