An old fable relates that at the AMI
NAL crcation the horse was dissatif-
al with his form, claiming that being
dostiaal for the service 81 man,, i'm
portant Improvement could be made
IN his construction. A naturul saddle
would Be appropriate; tho legs should
be longer; a swan hike neck would be
an oruamontaticn. Upon those sug-
geations he was humorod with now

suit was q camel. AS the horse per-
coiyei this homeiy animal he fled
trembling with fear; and 10 this day
hc can not look upon camel without
a shiyar running through his veins,

The horse desired q saddle and there
arose the cmnels hump. Whether
now women desire asaddle I shall not

If to-day the spirit Of Greek ol

SENATOR PLUMB oNmRroATIoN

SENAAOAG ELUMb ON AAtAtAOAAAON'
Senator Plumb is blue over the out
look for irrigation in western Kansas.
because mostof the rivers run through
Colorado and Colorado can use all
the water before itgots to Kansas.
So the engineers have said when
the plan Of irrigation included only
lateral bitches or canals. There is not
il Colorado never digs another canal
to absorb the supply, enough water
in tho rivers to guarantee extensive
irrigation, hut there is enough water
wasted in the spring to give Colorado
a fair suppIynnd fill a groat many
reservoirs in Kansas.
The water originating in Kansas
during thc spring would, Il confined
in well constructed reservoirs, irrig0tc
most of the country which needs an
artificial water supply.
The investigation Of irrigation
methods is really in its infancy.
While the process, in simple forms, is
as old as agriculture, the study Of
means for close and economical con-
troll Of limited water has never been
pushed far. To pursue the study is
the main business Of the senate com
mittee, including Senator Plumb. The
area which has plenty Of running
water through the summer months is
comparatively small, and il the com
mittee and the government engineers
cannot get beyond the lateral canal
system it will hardly have paid ex-
penses. From New Mexico toDakoto
the great interior dry basin is scantily
supplied with big rivers. To bring
many million acres under the beneh.
cient inhuenceof irrigation the system
OF storage reservoirs must be perfect
ed. Some members Of the committee
certainly understand the necessity
for they have been using the govern
ments privilege to set apart acres ol
public land in suitable localities fol
reservoirs. 1t is the reservoir system
the committee will study when Kan
sas is reached.-Kansas CITY Times.
