In Good Fortune, a Bad Lesson.

The farmers of Lewiston valley
are just beginning the harvest of
the greatest crop in the history Of
the country. The promise of a
profitable season is very flattering.
A rich reward for the season of
care and toll is practically arrived.
In years past big harvests and re-
munerative prices have caused dis
asters to follow. The only safe
method for the farmer is conserva.
tive course. Because wheat grow
Ing brings big return one year it
does not follow that the result will
be perpetuated. The farmer is too
apt to be influenced to divest all of
his energies to the one branch of
his business by the big returns of
one year.
The Lewiston valley has more
examples of profitable farming
than any other community in the
northwest. There have been here
some examples of disaster. The
large number of successful farmers
have all been conservative students
of local conditions. They have
demonstrated the certainty of the
business when intelligently per.
sued. There is more profit in farm
ing in the Lewiston valley than in
other sections of the country, be-
cause good yield can be regularly
grown and harvested at smaller
cost than in any other section in
of the United States that is devoted
to wheat as general crop. This
uniform yield is the result, how
ever, of good farming and the obser-
vance of peculiar conditions of soil
and climate.
The disasters that have attended
the wheat farmers have, on the
other hand, been due generally to
the disregard of local conditions.
In some instances very large yields
and large profits have been gained
from haphazzard methods. The
same conditions are observable in
all branches of business. Often
reckless deals returns great profits;
but only conservative methods are
safe.
Stimulated by success the farmer
is often impelled to do poor work
and to SOW out of season, and then
invite disaster. The only safe
business method is the one that
produces regular crops, even under
unfavorable conditions.
The farmer who becomes excited
and neglects his holses, his cows,
his hogs, his chickens, his hay, his
fruit and his vegetables for exclu-
sive wheat culture is in danger of
loss. The farmer, as other bust
ness men, should avoid hazardous
investments, such as exclusive crops
planted as is necessary, perforce of
conditions, in badly titled grounds
and out OF season. The wise farmer
will not be diverted from his safe
method of crop diversion by the
excitement caused by one year of
extraordinary profits in wheat cul-
ture, even in the Lewiston valley.

Irrigation by the Government !.

There are millions Of acres of land
now worthless, which could be made of
great agricultural value il only the flood
waters which fall upon the land could
be stored and utilized for irrigating pur.
poses daring the dry seasons. 1t is not
easy for private enterprise to do this
work as large sums of money are needed
to build the impounding dams,
1t is entirely within the power OF
the government to do this work, and
money so invested is better used
than through the useless expenditures
of the river and harbor system, where
millions are used to dredge country
creeks and pull sDags from unnavigable
streams The flood waters of the
Missouri and its northwestern tribu.
taries II stored and used for irrigation
would create and fertilize enough
territory to make new state in what is
now practical desert. Large systems
Of irrigation are only possible on the
community or corporation plan and
none can q veil undertake and CO the
work as 'e government which owns
the land

Does He Own the Fish,

We are asked il farmer has not q
better right to the fish in the river
which runs through his farm, than the
man who lives down the river in some
town. This will have to be answered
from legal, and not from an ethical
standpoint. The law Of the country
holds that he has only an equal right to
the fish in the stream with his town
brother down the river. The law broad
ly recognizes the rights Of the general
public in all streams of running water
and meandered lakes. Though the fish
may be in the river, the bed Of which he
owns, he still does not own the water or
the fish in it, and is just as strictly
bound by the laws governing the season
of taking the fish, as though he lived
somewhere else. He has a common
right with all others living tributary to
the stream to the use of the water, and
must neither divert its flow nor injure
its quality to the detriment of his neigh
bors down stream. pond which is
formed by the spring overflow Of a river
and which at all other times, is entirely
isolated from the stream, is in the same
category as the flowing river, and
though such pond be full of fish left
there by the overflow, the owner of the
pond possesses no exclusive right to, or
ownership in such fish. If man should
sink flowing well and thereby create a
fish pond which he stocked up with fish,
he then becomes the absolute owner of
such pond, and all that it may contain,
and the public acquires no rights what
ever thereto. Owning such pond and it's
fish, he may further catch them and kill
them whenever he wants to, regardless
of close or open seasons. The right to
enter upon mans land in pursuit OF
fish in stream varies in different states.
In some states where one has stocked
the stream he can bar out the public,
but he cannot dam or obstruct the
stream so as to pre- sent the run Of such
fish to other portions of the stream not
controlled by him. Ia most states the
right to walk up a stream, or run boat
thereon and catch the fish therein, is
allowed, the common law of trespass not
applying.
