LONDON, August 1o-The state OF at
fairs In Macedonia was brought up in the
House OF Commons to-day, but Premier
Balfour declared he was unable to give
any satisfactory assurances regarding the
situation. The latest news reaching the
government, he says was far from re-
assuring.
Mr.. Balfour said everything possible
would be done to impress the Porte With
the necessity OF keeping its troops well
In hand, and every assistance would be
given to the Porte IN carrying out that
object. He believed that the Porte was
keenly alive to the present necessity OF
REFRESHING the excess committed by Turk
ish troops. IL not to the humanitarian ne
ccssity OF this uneasy task In the face OF
deliberate attempts to disturb public or
der. The policy OF the British govern
mcnt was to aid Austria and Russia IN
introducing the elementary principles OF
sound government. which, for the pres
ont. constituted the best means OF deal

per cent of irrigation water, the total
depth delivered to the land, including
rainfall, reached 81 inches.
One of the laterals of Bear River
Canal known as A15, supplies an area
of 20S acres, which is divided into
small farms ranging from 4 to 40
acres. The water was distributed over
these on the time basis, each farm re-
ceiving the entire flow of the lateral

it's acreage. The period of rotation
was seven days. This gave to each farm
once a week the use of stream from

fully determined by measuring flume
and water register, and the rainfall
measured by gauge and the evapora-
ton by a tank designed for the pur-
pose The average amount of water
applied to the whole area under the
lateral was % inches. If to this be
added the rainfall for the season,
which was inches, the total depth of
water received was 80 inches. Compar-
ing this with the depth of water used
by the entire area Of $1,000 acres it
will be seen that the depth used on the
small tract irrigated by this lateral
was 27 inches less than that shown to
have been used on the entire tract.
This indicates quite conclusively that
there was a great waste of water not
accounted for. 1t may be justly in
ferred from the measurements that the
duty of water in many cases may be
nearly doubled by the proper care of
bitches and judicious application of
water.
