Umatilla Project to Bolster National Irrigation Case
Washington reports that Umatilla county Oregon will be the centerpiece of a reclamation service display at the National Irrigation Congress in Albuquerque. Chief statistician C J Blanchard notes Hermiston’s clear growth and development since irrigation began, praising social and church benefits for homemakers and planning lantern slides for an illustrated lecture. Photographers Lubkin and White captured strong images of the project, which officials regard as the best example among 26 national projects to prove the value of federal irrigation over Carey act schemes.
