State plans to enlarge fish hatchery on McKenzie river
State Game Warden Finley and Master Warden RK Clanton toured the Poujade hatchery in Eugene and outlined plans to expand and improve Oregon’s principal trout hatchery on the McKenzie river. Hatchery work includes 600 feet of 4 000 foot flume and new pools and ponds for spawning and stock. The Redmond Crook county area reports unusually fine conditions with potential bumper crops due to winter moisture and planned irrigation improvements. Farmers anticipate large yields of wheat and potatoes, with dairying expanding as creamery operations begin and the North Canal opens more land for cultivation.
