the public domain in Arizona. c these reserves two, viz: the Sa
 Francisco and the Black Mesa in
 clude portions of the highest an, Imost valuable watersheds in Ariz
 They are In part. Ed. the feed
 CTS to the most important tributa- fries of the Salt River, the most val
 aable stream in Arizona. The os
 tensible purpose in segregatin.
 these reserves was to protect the
 watershed of the Salt River. The
 timber consideration was only sec,
 ondary.
 The question at controversy is as to whether these reserves should
 be thrown open to be grazed with out restriction and as to whether ii
 IS advisable to graze sheep on them at all. This is purely an econem7
 ic question and should be decided on it's merits.
 In a sense there are three crops
 which can be harvested from these
 reserves, viz. timber, grazing and water. Each of these has a mar. ket value and taking one year with another can be represented by a definite sum. It stands 10 reason that tic crop from any of these forest reserves which brings to the people of the territory the greatest annual income without lessening or destroying the possibility of continuing this income from year to year, is the crop which should be protected. and so far as the nth CTS interfere with it they should be eliminated. If it can be shown that the returns from grazing, talk ing one year with another, are greater than the returns from in creased agricultural operations, re- sulting from q larger or more con stant water supply arising from the non-pastured watershed. grazing should not be prohibited or restric- ted. But if the reverse be true rigid restriction should be placed on every animal that grazes on the watersheds of Arizona supplying the streams from which water is drawn for irrigation.
 The Division of Forestry of the United States Department of Agri- culture will during the present year. make a careful investigation of sheep grazing on all the fores' reserves in the United States. Thi. investigation is now in progress il the forest reserves of Arizona. A. this question Is of such vast inn portance to the people of Arizona it is imperative that the truth b, ascertained. In order that every facility be given the Government officials who are now Investigating our forest reserves it is requested that all persons interested commit nicate with the Experiment Station giving specific illustrations iron their own experience bearing upO. whichever side of the controvers, hey may support. IL is the inter- ion nf the Station to place this ill the hands of the pel- sons making the investigation.

TIMELY HINTS FOR FARMERS. NO. l8 Grazing versus irrigation.
By the Botanist.

At the present time there is very
 much agitation in Arizona as to
 the disastaOus effect of grazing,
 more particularly sheep grazing,
 in lessening and rendering less constant the flow of water from the mountain regions to the irrigated valleys.
 It is a we'll known fact that the agricultural interests of Ariznna depend entirely on the amount of water available for irrigation and further, that all this available Wal Ter flows from the wooded moun- tain regions to the valleys below where it IS taken from the streams thru canals and ditches to the va rious farms.
 The development of irrigation in Arizona has. raised the value of thousands of acres of land from practically nothing to maximum value of one hundred dollars or more per acre. It has made pos Sible the building of villages and cities in regions which without ir- rigation would be uninyiting and urinhabitable.
 Thru irrigation, agriculture in Arizona has prospered until today it is the greatest and most endur- ing industry in the Territory and gives employment directly and in- directly to more people than all other industries combined. We can hardly assent to the opinion expressed in the sentence preced ing, tho we admit the industry to he greater than generally suppos- ed. Editor. When we consider the great value Of available water to Arizona agriculture we can read fly see the necessity of giving the closest attention to it's conservation and of guarding against every con dition that can be overcome by man that lessens or renders more irregular its flow.
 It is universally recognized that soil covers, forest, chaparral and all other vegetable growth as well as the litter and humus from this growth, are the great cOnservatOrs of moisture. All growth tends 10 bind the scanty soil to the rocks and to hold back the rains and the melting snows until they sink into the earth to appear later as peren- nial springs and give constant flow to the rivers from which practical ly all water is drawn for irrigation purposes.
 The agriculturists of the territo- ry contend that grazing. more par ticulnrly sheep grazing, on the wa tersheds of the irrigable streams has gradually lessened the flow of the streams and rendered them more irregular. They contend that during the past several years the run-nff has in some instances decreased mnre than 30 per cent in face of the fact that precipitation records show no appreciable dimi- mutton in rain fall. It is noted fact that the records of precipita- ton on the watersheds of Arizona are anything but complete and ex- act. Ed,
 During this period sheep grazing has extended over large portions of all the watersheds from which our longer streams are fed and the i smaller growth is each year becom- ing less aud less.

Cong g-ess Cannot Refuse.

The situation in Congress is such that if a united demand is made by the West for irrigation appropriations it cannot be refused.
 There is no question of this fact. The trouble has been i'll the past that the West has not been thoru- ly united upon this proposition.
 The West holds the power in Congress if it will stand unitedly and exercise it.
 And if Western newspapers-the city papers, the country papers, the dailies and the weeklies-will print arguments and demands tEat Congress shall consider this great question of irrigation as nation al question, no: pint one article on the subject, but keep continual ly driving at the idea that the qnes- ton is the one most vital thing to entire West tho one question, which if acknowledged by Congress will change millions of acres of waste and barren places into smiling fer tility and wealth then it won't take Western Senators and Congress- men long to see that this is ques- ton upon which they must unite to man, and with a united west ern delegation the battle is won. This is the power which the west ern press possesses.

titions were all the rage then and
the students wasted lots of gray
matter in getting them up in the
right form. A petition was got
ten up praying the B. E. to retain
popular professor. He went.
Another asked to have an unpop-
ular professor removed. He
stayed. One petition was circu-

other good qualities. The idea of
a professor being anything but

part of the business was that the

infinite pains, prepared an elabor-
ate petition begging the B. 3. for
