newspaper work iu Southern California before most ot the present inhabitants were here. Later hc was agricultural editor of the San Francisco Chronicle, rcsigning that position to edit the Bakersfield Californian, thence going to his present berth in Alameda. His experience has thus given him wide acquaint- ancc, and since his visit to the Imperial lands last spring he has written much regarding this country. One of his most recent statements is as follows:
 The most wonderful reports come from the so-callcd Colorado desert as to the success which IS attending the cultivation of the soil by the aid of water of the Color ado river, recently diverted upon large tract and already referred to in these columns. In from sixty to ninety days from the time the blow was first put into the ground men have har- vested crops that have more than paid the entire cost of the land and water. We do not recollcct to have ever seen a parallel case in the history of irrigation III this country. Within ten years we expect to see thickly settled and exceptionally prosperous ser. les of communities for miles and miles across what has until this year been d barren and forbid ding wilderness since the founda' ton of the world"

NATIONAL IRRIGATION

Dr. Charles D. Walcott, direc- tor of the United States Geologi- cal Survey, was d guest at d ban quet given in Los Angeles m his honor, and is quoted in part as follows:
 "In the arid regions it is water and not Ia nd which measures production. The utilization of the waters that go to waste would be equivalent to adding ,o our territory the entire area of lands reclaimed. Their reclamation would be the acquisition of new territory by conquest from the desert, just a s much as Holland was wrested from the sea by building great government dikes.
 "Experience has shown the under taking to be too vast for private enter prise. nor can 1t be done by the states. Many interstate problems are involved, and the national government alone can accomplish this great work. It is but an enlargement of the present policy of our government under which we build levees and other river and harbor works.
 "The government should construct and maintain the reservoirs as ii does other public works. The stored waters should be turned into the stream in the dry season to take the same course and be subject to the same laws as though nature had put them there.
 "The purpose of such reservoirs would be to regulate and reinforce the flow of the streams, and the govern ment should go no farther in localities where the reservoirs are constructed for that purpose or where the streams flow through sections of the country which have been already settled.
 ."Where reservoirs or mainline ca nals are necessary 10 make water avail able for recla nation of specific area of unsettled government land, a diff ferent problem is presented, and th government must do more than mere ly regulate the stream. lt must brinI the water within reach of the settlers 80 that they can through co-oPerativ organization build the distributing systems and secure the investmen

 that in d new country people should ,c anxious tn make thorough test ni the productive character of the soil. and no >ct- ton has in ii> first days been better tested than has the soil oi the Colorado delta. The govern ment k itself taking d hand in the work bv sending to the set clement a representative "i the bureau of soils. to make chemical analyses oi soils selected from many portions of the land to bc irrigated.
 These examinations of the soil will be of great value III giving the Government all opportunity to study the question of soils by comparing the analyses made be- fore the land Is cultivated with the results to be obtained later by cultivation. and II Is possible that some little ald may bc given 10 the cultivators of the soil by informing them of the nature of the elements composing ii. But II Is an unfortunate fact that thus far the knowledge of chemistry of soils Is So vague that little can be foretold of the productive pow er of land simply from noting the constituents of the soil. unless ii should be discovered that there Is in the soil that which Is abso- lutely destructive to plant life. Tn general, the clements of the soil are such that the best results are obtained by proper balancing of the constituents, but there also enters into the problem of the value of the soil the structure of the earth and the action of water under the surface or it's ab- sence. There are these features which may be termed mechanical which may set at naught all the calcula tions of the soil chemist, and in q country which differs materially with the general run of agricultural districts the chem ist has an opportunity for study but he is absolutely without data on which to base calculations. His guess may be as valuable as that of another man, but after he and the others have made their guess, .he solution of the value of peculiar country lies m put ting the question direct to the

struction.
 Looking at it from all sides there iS no one question of greater impor- tancc to our people than forest prcser. vation, water conservation and the reclamation and settlement of the arid lands of the Yves, by those who will build homes upon them. Through out our history the success of the home.maker has been but another name for the upbuilding of the na- ton"
 There is great divergence of opinion regarding the natural limitations to private and public initiative in great industrial un- dertakiugs, and when applied to irrigation this difference of opin- ion is much like its application to other industrial affairs. There arc few people who have given the subject thought, however, who doubt that the Government should begin an active campaign of development of irrigation wa ter for the public domain, and in- cidentally for such private lands as may be embraced in large tracts mainly owned by the Gov erument. Unfortunately, the percentage of people who have given the subject thought IS small, though increasing, and still more unfortunate Is the lack of discrimination between private and public lands when the Gov crnment is called on to build great storage systems. There IS an immense work before the Government in the reclamation of it's own lands-a work which will involve the expenditure of billions of dollars, but which will in time be repaid by the tens ot billions, and that task cannot be too soon undertaken or too vigor- ously prosecuted. But when 1t is understood that this great work has been called to the attcn- ton of Congress repeatedly during the last half century and the first step is yet untaken; when 1t is understood that it will require a century at least to com plete the work when 1t is under taken, and that meanwhile people are looking anxiously about for cheap farming lands, it is no longer matter of theory whether the Government or private interests should take the initia- tive in development. The real question is whether 1t is better for private interests to develop the public lands by placing water upon them than to permit them to lie idle for decades, and pos

II seems to have almost passed the period when the question can be raised as to the value of the soil, and each success attained tends to dis count the value of the theoretica al prediction which may later be made by the bureau of soils, no matter how flatteriug that prediction may be to the Imperial lands.
 The permanency of production on these lands seems to be aSSur- ed. for in other lands where the soil has produced well at first and later been injured by alkali, there has been an encroachment of wa ter below which brought up the alkali.
