Irrigation Studies Stir Minnesota and Inland Empire Debate
The St Paul Pioneer Press argues irrigation is not a western patent and highlights how soil quality in the inland west drives productivity beyond irrigation alone. It urges Mississippi valley farmers to consider irrigating locally rather than moving west, noting no patent on irrigation methods and praising western soil. The piece also covers Umatilla project funding terms, Oregon reclamation authority, Portland’s river supply concerns for transcontinental railroads, and a new Antlers hotel register with listed local firms.
