LaIMoure

LaMOure Chronicle: An amusing
scene was noted Monday morning. An
eminent divine was seen trudging
down Seventh street, pushing a wheel
barrow upon which sat his wife. The
first thought of n spectator was that
a lost wager was being settled in this
novel manner; but, taking everything
into account, this seemed improbable.
Continued speculation only served to
deepen the mystery of the proceeding.
Perhaps, however, nothing more SER
ious was intended than a fanciful in
depreciation of the familiar lines of
Mother Goose: ''The roads were so
rough. and the streets Wee so narrow,
he had to take her home in an old
wheelbarrow.''' ~ -

An Item In Forestry.

The following method Of measuring
the height of a standing tree is recon-
mended in a bulletin Of the department
Of agriculture for its simplicity: At
some distance from the tree, where
both top and base are readily visible,
place a pole from four to five feet long
(SF9 perpendicularly in the ground.
Put in the ground another and longer
pole (DE) at some distance from the
first one, so that the poles and tree are
situated in the same vertical plane.
Sight from the top of the smaller pole
the base and the top Of the tree and
note the points where your lines Of vi
sion intersect the longer pole. Meas

FLAX
Additions to the Acreage Last Year
Will be Large.

.ZEHGENE EsEHENE
There will be a large addition to the
fax acreage in the state next year
Flax was the most profitable crop
raised by the North Dakota former last
year. Up at Devils Lake Wagner
Bros. raised $500 bushels of flax last
summer ON about $50 acres of land.
The crop has been shipped to Duluth
and stored for a higher price than that
NOW prevailing. The flax is unusually
clean and of a fine quality, and for this
reason the Duluth commission men
oflered the owners Is cents a buslleI5
over the market price. But the
Messrs. Wagner believe they can get
~ a bushel for the crop for seed, and
will hold it until spring.
Another farmer. Henry Noltilnier,
thought he would experiment in fax
raising last year, and just as a starter
put in seventy acres. From this piece
of land he threshed hoo bushels,
which at the market price today repre-
sents $4,000. He is now thoroughly
convinced that faX-raising PAYS
Among the very large yields d flax In
the same vicinity last year was that of
Ever Enger. He raised $500 bushels
from 105 acres of leased lands two
miles north of town. Six years ago
Mr.. Enger was poor. Today he is one
of the many prosperous farmers of
Ramsey county. He paid recently
$4,000 for 40 acres and now controls
over BOO.

Studies Now In Progress For the
Clearing Up of Hard Problems.
The irrigation Investigations of the
department of agriculture are noticed
at length by Secretary Wilson in his
tracts are %subjoined:
Measurements of the actual volume
of water used in irrigation and the
time Of such use are being carried on
in Is states and territories. An ap-
proximate knowledge of the quantity
of water required to irrigate an acre
of land growing any given crop is
sooner or later a necessity in any irri-
gated district. Farmers, canal build
ers, water commissioners, state law
makers and congress all need this in
formation in the making of water con-
tracts, the planning of works and the
determination and protection of rights
in streams. Without it all these i'm
portant transactions are largely based
on conjecture. The mistakes to which
this gives rise are a serious obstacle
to the conservation of the water sup
ply and its orderly division.
1t is the purpose of this investigation
to begin the collection of this informa-
ton, but in order that it may have
general acceptance and value the facts
secured must embrace a wide range of
conditions and crops and be continued
through a series of years in order that
accidental variations Of seasons may
be eliminated. At the outset it is de-
sired to ascertain what is the common
practice Of irrigators.
One object Of the studies on the, duty
of water is to secure greater economy
in it's use, the reclamation Of an in
creased area and a larger yield Of crops
through it's more skillful application.
Something more is necessary than
measurement Of the quantity employ
ed. The factors which tend to pro-
duce a high or low duty must also be
studied. These include the amount Of
rainfall, records of temperature, rate
Of evaporation, character of soil, losses
in transportation in canals. the merits
Of different methods of distributing
water over the land and the influence
which is exerted by the character Of
private water right contracts for de-
livering water or Of state laws gov
erning titles thereto.
Before we a rightly estimate the
value Of reservoirs we must know not
only the amount of water required by
different crops, but the time when such
water is needed. The purpose of reser-
voirs is to bring fluctuations in stream
flow into harmony with the variations
In the demands of crops. A depend
ence on the natural flow of many west
ern rivers permits of only a small frac-
ton Of their natural discharge being
utilized, because the waters run to
waste before or after they are needed.
We must know when the water is
needed and how much is needed in diff
ferent months Of the year before we
can rightly estimate how much must
be stored in order to utilize the entire
supply. T.

''rhe sugar output of the islands this

Some of the large planters are talking
of bringing negroes from the United
States. Yes, agents have already been
sent to the South 90 get as many

The great trouble with the Japanese
is that since the labor laws have
changed they want more money than
they can earn. They are slow and are
only worth little more than half what
y good man is. II is not question of
wages with the planters; il is 10 ger
their work done in season az a reaSona-

Hawaii is becoming greatly overrun

the first step IN directing the sugar
