Government Control Of Water.

SAN BgRsARDtSo, CAL, Oct. 10.
In the issue OF the MINER. OF the l4th
inst, / read that at session Of the Elec-
trical Engineers Of America held in
Rochester N. Y, that one Of the subjects
under consideration was the diversion oi
the water from the grand canon Of the
Colorado. and IL was thought that capital
could be induced TO take hold OF the
scheme.
IL would be gran1 thing for Arizona
II the waters Of the Colorado could be
utilized so as to redeem the arid lands
which are now barren waste, but with
water conli be made the most productive
and he ,lthful section OF all the west. But
why sgi.ste the present administrations 3
pet method Of capitslistic control
bonded slavery which Is disgrace to q
free country, making the rich richer and
the poor poorer. You know, Mr.. Editor,
that New York capital cannot go into any
grand scheme 10 this country without
being largely impregnated with English
gold and these combined forces have
already got rs, as nation, almost throt-
tied, and should they take hold OF this
enterprise they would first corner all the
available lands, and 1t would be almost
impossible for poor man TO ever get
home in what would then be- the Italy OF
America. Even II they did not secure
the lands they would tax the people TO
such an extent tor water, that they would
he little more, II anything. than slaves.
The water OF the Grand Canon can and
should be diverted in the interest Of the
people, and this can be done by congress
sppropristing enough money to purchase
implements OF construction and subsis-
tence for the workers. II can and will be
done II the people have chance, without
paying dollar for labor, by giving either
80 or 160 acres To each farmer, with water
enough TO make the soil productive; then
II the people are too poor to build, pur-
chase teams, etc., they couid sell enough
o 1t OF the eighty acres TO make the neces-
sary purchases and have enough land
left to make comfortable homes. This
would give work and chance to thou.
sands of eager men to earn homes for
and family, which they can
never hope to do by any other means.
II this proposition is carried out, Ari.
zons, with fertile lands, ABUNDANT water
supply and great mineral resources, in
stead Of land Of bondage, will be the
home Of the happiest and most prosper
Gus people in the nation.

ly rest on the laurels he won as a record
breaker in 1917, when his son was born, but
the particular record he is trying to smash
now is that of his own father, who lived to
be l03 years old, and as he is now 90 and
hale and hearty it looks as if he were in a
fair way to do it.
He recently Travelled alone from Port HUI
ron to his sons home at Menlo Park, y. j.,
and five years ago when in France walked
the entire distance between Paris and Yer
%sailles. He thinks nothing of walking 1O
miles today and gets angry if any one offers
to assist him in any way and will not have
it that he is old at all. In his younger
days he was IA great athlete, and when he
was 60 years old he outjumped every man
in the Twenty-second Michigan regiment.
He tried to sustain his reputation as q
jumper when he was rs by springing from
a train that did not stop at Menlo Park
and was quite crestfallen because he got q
little scratched.
The old gentleman is 6 feet 9 inches in
height, trimming over with good humor

MAJOR j. G.. ANGBORN looking for things
that needed improvement or reform, and
when he finds them he talks right out in
meeting" whether it be to the national
commissioners, the board of directors, the
fair officials or to individual or associated
exhibitors. He has been antagonized and
sat upon a number of times by the Off
Gals, but never acknowledges defeat. He
is very enthusiastic about the success of the
fair, and his efforts to promote it have been
most energetic. He is the manager of the
big Baltimore and Ohio exhibit.
The major is general agent of the Balti-
more and Ohio road and handles most of
their special trains on which distinguished
parties are carried. He has taken Presi-
dent Cleveland on many fishing trips and
took the president and Mrs. Cleveland to
Deer Park on their wedding tour. His first
service as a railroad man was with the San
la Fe in 1876, up to which date he was a
journalist ard practically at the head OF
the Kansas City Times.
Major Pangborn's title is purely honor
airy. He says he never was a major and
never expects to be. But he saw five hard
years of service in the Federal army during
the war, at first undA Mcclellan in the
Army of the Potomac, and then under
Banks in the Army of the Gulf. He enlist
ed before he was IS and was mustered out
in Texas Il year after the fighting was over.

H GRASSES.

The Best Time to Sow-Two widely Dis
tributed and Valuable Pasture Grasses.
Timothy, red top, orchard grass, June
grass and indeed most other of the
grasses throw their seed in the fall, and
If the grass is allowed to stand it will
SOW its seeds in July and August, and
the seed will come up that fall and re-
new the grass in many cases by this self
seeding. If we ought to SOW at the same
time that nature sows, it would there
fore appear that fall is tie season. But
fall is not always the best time, every
thing considered, for each individual
farmer. 1t may be that we have no land
ready at that time. 1t may be the best
way for us to SOW the ground after other
crops have been taken off, and we must
adapt ourselves to such circumstances as
best we can. The objection to lowing in
the spring is that there is a strong
growth of the annual weeds which come
~ the same time as the grass. Pigweed,
NORWOOD, redroot and many others are
a great deal stronger as ANNALS than the
grass seed which has been sowed. The
grass holds back, and it is sender at first.
Another objection to sowing grass in the
spring to many is that August or fall is
the natural time for grass to start. 1t
makes a growth in the fall that is slight
ly woody, which makes the grass better
able to stand the winter. If the seed is
sown in the spring, there is no tendency
to produce that woody growth, but the
tendency is to run up and head out.

BASIC STAG.
Compared with other Sources 81 Phos-
phorfc Acid.

Compared with other SOurce5 81 PhOs-
phoric Acid.
1t may be well to explain once more
what basic Stag is, since considerable is
being said about it. Basic Stag, other
wise known as "odorless phosphate"
"iron phosphate" ETC., is a product of
steelmaking. All iron ores contain more
or less phosphorus. 1t ten IS to make
iron or steel brittle and is therefore OBJ
jectionable, and one great problem of the
iron maker is to remove it. The besse-
mer process of steelmaking is used chief
ly on ores low in phosphorus, but about
10 years ago a new process was invented
that upset all former methods. A guam
tity of lime is dropped into the molten
ron This instantly mites with the
phosphorus and is held in the form of
phosphate of lime while the liquid iron
runs off. The lime and phosphorus, with
the sand and other impurities in the ore,
form the basic Stag. 1t cools in the form
of huge clumps. and must be ground to
a fine powder before it is used as a fer
tilizer.
In this country opinions vary as to
the real value of basic Stag. Some in
sist that it is inferior to finely ground
South Carolina rock, while others con-
slider it but little inferior to a reverted
phosphate. 1t has not yet come into a
very extended use in America. The
price is high as compared with other
sources of phosphoric acid, and our ex-
pertinent stations have not given it the
careful tests that it deserves, says The
Rural New Yorker, from the columns of
which the following is CLEANED; In
France basic Stag is valued as a cheap
source of phosphoric acid, the good
grades averaging 16 to Is per cent of it.
1t is especially valuable for meadows es-
tablished in low, damp lands, owing to
the 80 or 40 per cent of lime contained
in it. Finely ground, it is scattered over
the meadows before winter at the rate
of 600 pounds per acre, with III addition
of 200 pounds of kainit, or, preferably,
100 pounds of muriate of potash. In
case of deficiency of nitrogen in the soil
200 pounds of nitrate of soda OF of sui
phate of ammonia should be added in
the spring. Basic Stag is principally
used on meadows. However, some
farmers employ it on grain crops such
as wheat, barley, ETC., and 1t is almost
always used in combination with pot
ash.
Basic Stag is highly regarded by Ger
man farmers. The consumption today
is about 300, 900 ton "a year in Germany,
and the price OF an average $40 per ton,
Analysing 10 per cent of phosphoric acid,
which means that two pounds of phos-
phoric acid in the Stag can be bought for
the price of one pound in superphos-
phites. German farmers value Stag out
side of the low price at which it fur
nishes phosphoric acid, OF account of its
faculty not to be consumed too rapidly,
not to be washed beyond the reach of the
roots in one season, but, on the contrary,
to yield a most p%erceptible source of
plant food for two and three years run
ming, which makes its application inval-
liable in seeding down meadows, perma-
nent pastures, clover and %luzern, and for
enriching the subsoil in the planting of
orchards.
