Mai J W. Powell, the director of the
L. S. Geological Survey, contributes an
article to the March Century on The irri
gable lands of the arid region, from which
we quote THE Snake or Shoshone river
heads in the great forest clad mountains of
Wyoming and runs across the line into
Idaho, then passes quite across the territory
until it becomes the boundary line between
Idaho and Oregon. Passing the northeast
ern corner of the last mentioned state, it
enters the state of Washington, aud runs
westward for a long reach until 1t debouches
into the Columbia. The Shoshone river is
one of great volume, second only to the
Colorado. Reservoir sites along its course
in Wyoming and Idaho nave already been
revealed by the surveys, and it is shown
that in the upper region water can he stored
to an amount of more than 1000, 600 acre
feet. This will irrigate at the first usage at
least J, 600, 900 acres of land and if they
be properly selected so that the waters can
be collected again and again after serving
the land, the area redeemed will be more
than 1000, 600 acres. There are many
other tributaries below that have not vet
been examined, and it is safe to say that
the waters of the Shoshone with its tribu-
taries may ultimately serve from 8, 600, 600
to III, OOO, 900 acres. In its utilization three
classes of problems are involved. If the
waters are taken out in small canals near
to the river, and the lowlands served first,
and prior rights and interests established
on such lands, then but small part of the
stream can be used, and the greater part
will run away to the Pacific ocean ; and
subsequently the region of irrigation can
be enlarged only 10y buying out vested wa
ter rights scattered along the course of the
river. But if at the very beginning the
water can be taken out high up the river
and carried in great canals to either side
and there distributed to the higher lands
and used over and over again on its return
a complete utilization can be secured and
the cost of the construction of the system
of irrigation by reservoirs and canals will
he greatly reduced per acre. To irrigate
1000, 600 acres of land near to the river by
short canals taken out along its course here
and there, will cost more than half as much
as the construction of hydraulic works that
will serve from g, OO0. 900 to :, 600, 600 while
the scattered minor works will be forever
subject to destruction by the floods, and the
agriculture secured will be of less value
per acre, because the best lands will not be
served, and only imperfect drainage will
be secured ~

The good old time theory Of equinoctia
storms is not believed by Weather Prophet
General Greedy The popular belief in the
occurrence Of storms on March ~ and on
September 81 rests largely, it appears, on
the assumption that they ought to occur
at such dates The 2lst of March mark,
the exchange Of the long nights and short
days of the winter for the short nights and
long days of the summer, while the 2lst of
September marks the time when the long
days and short nights OF the summer are
exchanged for the short days and long
nights of the winter. 1t seems but rea
sonable to the amateur meteorologist that
at the time of these changes there should
be a disloCation of the weather arrange
ments of the one season, so to speak, and
the substitution of other entirely different
arrangements, the movement being attend
ed with manifestations of violence pro
portloned to the greatness of the difference
between summer and winter Such may
be said to be the popular view To Gen
eral Greedy the equlnoxes present them
selves in an entirely different aspect The

liable hay grown The second crop can b,
cut for seed and produces from one to foui
bushels to the acre.
The mammoth or pea vine clover differs
from the common red only by being later,
growing coarser stalks, and generally Yields
but one crop during the season. Both va.
rieties Of the red clover have long tap
roots that run down deep into the subsoil
generally until they reach water by this
means they are not so easily affected by
drouths and can generally be relied on for
producing good crops. The red clovers are
biennials and produce only two seasons In
some cases they seem to live longer. but
that comes from reseeding from fallen
seeds
Many farmers Of the North South East
and West are anxiously looking for some
thing that will restore their exhausted
fields. Barnyard manure is good as far as
it goes as is pasturing. But many of our
best farmers have come TO the conclusion
that clover is the crop and the only crop
that will do it with profit With a clover
sod plowed under for another crop good re
suits always follow. The stalks, leaves
stubble and roots are full of mineral and
vegetable fertilizers and furnish large
amount of humus for absorbing and retain
ing the fertilizing gases from the atmos
phere and the mineral fertility of the soil
as well as moisture from the dews and
rains No plant furnishes humus that per
forms this Office as perfectly as clover, and
its long tap roots as they decay leave holes
or pipes that act as breathing tubes from
the moisture below to the growing plants
above The time will soon come when as
an agricultural production for restoring the
fertility Of our wornout soils, and as an
ever present paying crop during its cult

agricuturists will be that clover is king.

CLOVER Is KING.
1, na. Di.,anesd Cotton and Corn.

IL AaH DhstanCed Cotton and Corn.
Cotton was acknowledged king of all the
agricultural productions up to about the
year 1860. During the war the prices of
wool ruled so high that wool was admitted
to be king of farm products. From the
year 1870 to 1880 wheat was crowned king
and thousands of acres of rich prairie soils
were broken up and sown to wheat From
1880 to 1890 corn seemed TO be the most
profitable farm crop to raise and was
crowned king by the western farmers.
The rich soils of the western prairies pro
duced large and profitable crops of corn
with but little expense for cultivation and
placing on the market, but the price of
corn now rules so low, with so many other
things working against its profitable pro
duction that it must soon yield up its crown
The time will soon come when the crown
will have to be placed on the head of clio
yer. 1t is easily raised, the seed costs but
little, it costs hut little to prepare the
ground for its reception. There is as much
certainty of securing good stand as with
any other crop if sown early enough in the
season. 1t makes the finest and best pas

There are four kinds of clover that can
be grown with profit anywhere in the
United States, The first is white. which
is valuable for pasturage for all kinds of
stock and for beds in some seasons it pro

While the great mass of farmers com.
plain that their business is depressed and
Improbable, it is true in this as in every.
thing else, that there is always room at the
top. Some farmers are making money
even in these times They do il either by
growing crops or stock differing from those
of other farmers, or by growing the same
kinds more cheaply. Their ways are not
secret 1t is open to any farmer anywhere
to emulate them. Many farmers complain
of lack of money to do what they wish
This means in this country that too much
of their capital is locked up in unproduc
tive or at least Improbable lands This is
doubtless true of a majority of farmers
both at the East ana West. 1t is hard work
to manage large farm without letting
some part of it either lie idle or decrease in
fertility. Either way means loss. Many
of the farmers who have struggled along

prosperous and successful had they attempt
