KLICKITAT FARMERS BACK DALLESPORT
(For The Agri.)

     During the past week wheat farmers of Wasco, Sherman and Gilliam counties in Oregon and Klickitat county in Washington asked the local port commission to cooperate with them in efforts to provide elevators on the water-front so their crop may be loaded directly into the holds of ocean vessels docking at The Dalles.
     Cheap grower may also spell a brighter day for the farmer and particularly for those living within the immediate radius of The Dalles, where large tracts may be irrigated and their productiveness increased by electrically-operated pumping plants.
     All of these and many other problems which vitally affect the interests of Wasco (and Klickitat) county farmers during the next decade will be considered at the agricultural outlook conference to be held in The Dalles February 13 and 14. It is an event which no progressive and forward-looking farmer of the county will choose to miss.
