Probably q Fake.

A few farmers in the vicinity of HUI
ron and many other parts of the state
have received circulars from what
purports to be entirely trustworthy
and responsible sources" urging them
to become members OF what is term
ed the Cripple Alliance" with head
quarters in Minneapolis. The object
of the organization is to induce farm
ers TO withhold their wheat from
market and thus force prices upward.
The business. according to the ci-cu-
lar. is conducted by agents-a general
| agent for each county and a sub agent
for townships and neighborhoods,
None car act as agents or become
members of the organization who do
not first take an oath binding them
to secrecy and obeying of such orders
and instructions as may be issued
by the executive committee. After
reciting the numerous benefits to be
! derived from membership, and NAM
| ing an agent for the district in which
the farmer resides to whom the circu-
lar is addressed, it says: mo one
can an agent till he takes h
oath. Call on the general agent and
assist HIM all you possibly can. Our
time is getting short. Not much work
has yet been done north of the 47th
parallel. Talk to all OF your acauain-
tances whom you can safely talk with
and urge them to borrow money to
pay machinery bills, Irvine bills, gro
Gerry bills. mortgages and everything
they owe. 1t will pay them in the
end. They can pay D per cent a month
and still come out ahead. Anything
OF Importance pertainingto the cause
that you may learn, we beg OF you to
communicate to US. But do not write
to headquarters. Tell it by word OF
mouth &c = general agent who will
attend to it. Yours for the cause"
Diligent inquiry fails to find any one
in the locality willing TO identity
themselves with tine organization. and
the Cripple Alliance" is not likely
to have a very strong following in
this state, the whole thing being re-
garded as d gigantic fake.

Experimental Irrigation.

State engineer of irrigation John a..
Baldwin has demonstrated that big
crops can be raised by irrigating from
artesian wells. With his partner,
Grant Frederick, who is states at
torney tor Hand County he has car
ried on operations seven miles from
Miller, experimenting with 80 acres of
ground, running the water direct from
the well in bitches over the land.
The crops raised have been sufficient
ly large to cause the state engineer
to become an enthusiast on the sub
ject. AS for Mr.. Frederick, he is also
taken up with the idea. They bought
the quarter last spring, it having q
town.hip well then running, and have
paid for the land and all other ex-
penses since incurred and have a
profit left from this years crop alone,
and that on the sod. Next year they
will adopt the reservoir plan, having
already constructed one that will al
ford water for irrigating 10 acres a
day.
Mr.. Baldwin thinks that, by irri-
CATION, this will become a great corn
as well as wheat belt. He is expert
men+ing with 10 acres of corn that
has every indication of a big yield.
The trouble with corn is a lack OF
rain in the fall or latter part OF the
summer. The artesian well supplies
this needed moisture at the right time.
They have figured out that, by stor-
imp the water during the year, 1000
acres a be irrigated from any good
we'll. As an experiment, a field two
miles from the well wac irrigated by a
ditch, the topography of the entire
country being such as to make it easy
to run the water from field to field.
A number OF new wells will probably
be put down in the county this fall
and winter.
