THE EXACT SITUATION.
The situation will be better un
derslood when it is stated that when
the Board came together, the osten-
sible, special business before it was
to try the issue raised at the last
meeting between Pres. Turner and
Prof. Ogden Nothing else was in
sight, and it was generally believed
that the determination of that case
would occupy.the entire session.
But the first move on the checker
board disposed Of that case. 1t was
retired to the back ground. After
providing for the tlial, and after
dispositions had been taken and IA
number Of witnesses had gathered in
person, and the battle was about to
begin, the Board suddenly resolved
not to go into the investigation, but
to take the bit in its teeth, declare
all the chairs. vacant, and begin a
reorganization from the ground up.
THE OUTS AND THE ms.
1t was easy to get everybody out
but the interesting feature of the
proceeding was to get somebody or

We should like to know if any
one in this State has tried rails
ing alfalfa under irrigation. We
know of it's trial many times
without irrigation, and always
unsucoessfully. Yet it is so val

successfully cultivated in the irri-
gated portions of the West and of
California, that it ought to be

Canaigre a new Industry.
From the Irrigator.

From the Irrigator.
During the past ten years
new industry has been slowly
growing up in the arid States
of the West and Southwest.
While Florida need not be CLASH
fed among the arid States, there
are many reasons to believe that
canaigre would be we'll adapted to
our climate and soil, It's wild
growth, SO far as observed, is con-
fined to the loose, sandy soils, and
it has to be irrigated to become a
profitable crop.
The plant is native of northern
Mexico and is of the same species
as the wild rhubarb. It's CONNER
cial value lies in the tannic acid it
contains, of which the roots yield
20 to 80 per cent. In the wild
state in New Mexico, Arizona and
adjoining States, the production is
not more than three to eight tons
per acre once in two years. But
under cultivation and with proper
irrigation it is said to yield at the
rate of twenty tons annually. AL
ready in the vicinity of Eddy in the
Pecos Valley of New Mexico, it
has become great success, and
farmers can sell at $40 a ton in the
green state all they can produce.
While there is a good market for
the dried roots of canaigre, it is
much better to establish extract
factories at points convenient to
the producers. This saves the
heavy cost of shipping the waste
portions and creates new indus
try at home. One of the largest
of the new irrigation works in Arl-
IONA is now organized and under
way for the development Of the
canaigre industry. Two or three
millions of capital are interested,
the Colorado River will be utilized,
farms laid out, factories erected
and the whole managed on the
large scale so characteristic Of the
New West.
This is all very promising for the
regions where these enterprises are
going on. But we wish to inquire
if the plant is known by any OF our
readers to have been tried here in
Florida? 1t is of course impossi-
bic to prediSt, before careful trial,
how it would thrive here, but we
believe the chances are greatly in
favor of succeeding with it and ad-
ding new industry adapted to our
conditions, and one which can be
taken hold of on a small scale by
those who have only good wind
mill for irrigation, or on a larger
scale by those who can command a
larger supply of water. On the
moist lands of the fat-woods, it
might thrive without artificial irri-
cation.

the only reaL difficulty, is incident
to it's "getting a start. When
that has been attained, alfalfa is
the most tenacious of all forage
plants, enduring more harsh treat
ment, more dry weather, heat and
cold than any others.
Soils underlaid by clay or
hardpan are unsuitable, because
alfalfa roots penetrate very deep in
search of moisture. This habit of
growth induces the belief that it
will be found peculiarly adapted to
this portion of the South if during
the first few weeks after sowing
the seed the conditions can be
made favorable to its existence
If this can be accomplished the af
ter growth is exceedingly rapid. 1t
often makes a growth Of thirty to
forty-hve inches a month, and in
some localities cutting is made
every month during the summer.
On low land, where the roots
have access to moisture continual
ly, it needs little or no after irriga-
ton, and on upland, fifteen or
twenty feet above water-bearing
sands, it will need irrigation only
until we'll established and the roots
have had time to penetrate deeply.
1t may then be considered per
manent possession, better than
most gold mines.
AS a lawn grass, SO greatly
needed in Florida, alfalfa may be-
come extremely valuable. Under
this head the Irrigation Age has
the following
When we look upon the common
grass lawns, requiring constant
sprinkling to keep the surface
roots moist and maintain the beau
tiful green appearance, we are
tempted to suggest alfalfa as a
most suitable lawn grass. This is
as easily started as any other grass,
and we'll set will not require more
than two or three periods of water
ing during the year. Sprinkling
is not necessary, as surface lrrlga-
ton is not what the alfalfa roots re-
quire. The water can simply be
flooded over the surface and al
lowed to soak to the roots. If a
hose is used it can be left in the
same place for half day. The |
roots run so deep that any under |
moisture obtainable will be taken
up and make sufficient water for
the lawn after once started.
A lawn mower can be used on al
falfa as we'll as other grass. With |
close and constant pruning for
season, the plants will stool out
and make a good sod. For color
the alfalfa lawn far excells any
other grass, as there are no fringed
yellow edges or sickly spots where
too much or too little water is
used. 1t is of quick growth, and
will require frequent cutting, but
that is healthful exercise, and the
beauty and less care in watering
will amply repay any one for extra
work in pruning.
The color will remain during the
winter season and in some parts of
the country the plant will continue

posed of two residents from Salt Lake
county, two from Utah county and these
Jour select a fifth, the fifth member at
present being a resident OF Willard
county. The canal companies have
placed dams in the Jordan river by agree
ment with the property owners, that the
water of Utah lake shall not be raised
above certain line, called s'the COM

mjssioners to see that the water of the
lake is maintained as near this line as
possible, to open the gates of the dams
when 1t raises above it, and to close them
when it falls below.
The representatives of the canal COM
panies contend that If any damages have
been sustained by reason of the dams not
being opened, it has been the fault of the
commissioners, and furthermore deny
that the commission has any jurisdiction
in the matter of determining or awarding
damages. This important question of
jurisdiction will be settled by the pro-
ceedings that have just been Instituted.
The matter will come up before the
commissioners at Provo today. The canal

Various Subjects Pertaining TO the In
dustry Discussed.
The convention of the Utah Beekeepers
association adjourned yesterday, after
three interesting sessions had been held.
Considerable routine business was dis
posed of and the balance of the time was
devoted to the discussion of important
topics.
G. W. Nuckle of Provo, gave some
valuable pointers concerning hives, Sec
tions and shipping crates, while j. G.
Simmons of Ogden, doomed home manu-
facture, and stated that cans used for
marketing honey could be made as
cheaply here as the cost of importing.
The questions OF wintering and Yentila-
ton were then taken up, and the reports
showed that Salt Lake county keepers
lost about 70 per cent of the bees this win
ter. Utah county was the most fortunate,
the loss there averaging about IL per cent,
while the loss for the rest of the territory
was about 20 per cent, showing the past
winter to have been the hardest the
apiarists have ever known here.
The number of colonies reported from
each county were: Salt Lake, 5000;
Davis, 1900; Utah, 5000; Jnab, 1, 900;
Weber, $500. TIE Others were not re-
ported.
1t was suggested that the bee inspec-
tors be more thorough in future in look
ing after foul brood.
The question as to the best method of
destroying yellow pockets and moths was
discussed at some length, and the general
opinion was that the best means was to
hang light over tub of water. placed
near the hives at night.
c. D. Brodbeck of Chicago, introduced

James Hawkins of BENJAMIN, exhibited

and the convention passed a resolution

Important Questions to Be Determined by
Proceedings before the Commissioner.

scented in the conflict between The owners

the four big canals, for 1896 damages,
alleged 10 have been sustained in the
spring CT 1891, by reason of the defend
ants keeping the dams closed at seasons
when they should have been open, thereby
causing the water to back up and overflow
the adjacent lands.

case is small, if the plaintiff wins the case.
