Defeated The Nets
Chickasha Wins a Brilliant VIC

for Roy Loughmiller, the Qklaho-

his mercy throughout the nine

oily secured three measly singles
and two bagger off his puzzling
delivery, while The visitors pound

this instance a lucky numbef.
The only score secured by the
Nets was that Of cy Young in the
I third inning. He secured second
! base ON a two bagger, was advanc-
to third by Sullenger and scored on
a single by Flahcrty.
In the first inning Of the visitors
Kearnes was given pass, Bennet1
secured first on Benefits out a
second and went to second on Hou
ser's single. Both secured a bass
on a passed ball by Warner and can
tered over the plate on Grant
two-bagger.
Good twirling by the pitcher
and some fine field work by boil
teams held the score down to L

CEASE YOUR
WRANGLING
And Get Down to Business
Says "A Water User"

ED, TRIBUNE-If you would
study hnman nature, attend a meet
ing of the Directors of the P. I.
Dist. These thoughts came to me
while attending the last meeting of
the board. I have often wondered
why the farmers were not more unit
ed than they are. When I see a
gathering offarmers and hear their
vastly different subject--no two of
them having the same view-on the
same subject. Now I can see the
cause. We farmers do not give
enough time and study to business
propositions. We should meet oft
ener as neighbors and discuss bust.
ness matters of vital importance to
us, and have mass meetings for ex-
change of opinions On business
vital to farm interests. We would
certainly be better enabled to meet,
say, the great Pioneer District
Board, and express our wants and
fears so they could, at least, be un-
derstood by the casual bystander.
The trouble is right here. There is

be done before the ground froze. It
Is evident to those who will take
the trouble to go and look at that
portion of the canal that, unless
some hitherto unused means be en-
ployed at once, IL will be late in the.
spring before water can be turned
in. Then there will be month or
more before the water can be got
ten through to the lower end in a
serviceable head. BY that time
the fields will be thoroughly dry,
the water in the river will begin
to fail, and we shall again have no
crops.
Cannot some pressure be used to
have the contractors complete that
work. What are contracts and conds-
men for if nobody can be held
responsible2 Do the farmers know
the condition of things, and the
prospect which contronts them for
another season? IL
Is it true, as has been asserted,
that the funds ofthe District are ex-
hausted? IF SO, surely some means
can be employed at once to furnish
water for the coming season. But,
now is the time to discover and ap-
ply remedy; not when the water
should already be ON the fields. A
tax of ten dollors an acre when we
have had water is easier paid than
ten cents when we have been
without water. 49,.
We are all intensely interested in
new railroads and trolly lines, in
good wagon roads, and il plans for
securing government aid in the
construction of reservoirs and new
canals, but the one thing which
surpasses all else in immediate i'm
portance is the completion of the
Phyllis Canal along the hillside.
If that work is not done at once we
shall all be in a sorry plight for an
other year. Give us what facts you
can, and then let us see if some
thing cannot be done.

STATEMENT AND RECAPITULATON

The treasurer's report indicates that $422eI Z
OF construction fund warrants which have been {
issued had not been presented for payment at the
time he made his report. 3
His report also indicates an outstanding Cen
erai Fund warrant Indebtedness of $164o76 in !
excess of the warrants issued during the year =
1903. This occurs in consequence of delinquent
taxes, the property being struck off to the Dis :
trict and also the fact that lands owned by the 8
State were assessed but the State Board holds :
that it has no authority to pay taxes which &C {
crued prior to the present year. AS a result OF &
these conditions, the estimated funds in 1901 and
1902, fell somewhat short of the actual funds :
raised. However, these amounts not lost to {
the District but will be paid gradually by re-
demption of tax sale certificates and payment of !
back taxes on State land as it falls into the
hands of private owners. This liquidation is
now in process. :

financial condition of the District Jan. 81, 1904:

no united effort, no two want the
same thing at the same time. They
feel there is something wrong and
want it righted, but each wants it
in his own way. They begin to
criticise those in charge and con-
den1n them unheard. Not only
for what they have done, but also
for what they are going to do. Not
coming before their officers at their
meeting in a businesslike and
friendly way, and asking them for
an explanation. The trouble is
this, IA" visits Caldwell. there
learns that the ditch is not being
constructed according to specifca-
tions; the directors by some error
i'll estimates have spent all the dis
trict's funds, are unable to finish it
this year; there is a $1,000 shortage.
"B," to whom it is told, not to be
outdone by "a" makes the short
age $4,000. So it goes. A story
loses nothing by being told often.
Now, fellow farmers, let as reas-
on together. Instead of reporting
the shortcomings of the directors
let Us get at facts and in business
way go before the board and see if
affairs are as reported. Give them
a chance to explain affairs. Do
you ever stop to think of the mag
nitude of this undertaking? This
is the first district to form in the
State. No precedent to go by.
Do you consider what the compile
tion Of this undertaking means to
US farmers? Our directors are hu-
man and are liable to err. know

water. How easy to throw the
fault on the directors and their en-
ployes. I have done my share of
kicking, but it has not helped mat
ters. From now on let us stop this
fault finding and one and all, by all
means in our power, unite to aid
and encourage our officers in their
endeavors to complete this great en-
terprise, not report what "a" or
"B' may report. Investigate in a:
business way, and give those in
charge chance to explain affairs.
I think by pursuing this course we
will all feel better and the officers
will feel they have the backing Of
the farmers and patrons of the dis
trict. Yours,

Something Must Be Done.

Editor of The TRIBUNE
It seems unwise to fix blame un-
til one knows who deserves it. In
the matter of the Phyllis Canal,
many of the users of water are un-
certain. 1t was understood by some
OF us last fall when the water was
turned out early that the work es-
pecially that on the hillside would

the system than was anticipated by
the Board Of Directors.
Broom Con-.

1
When you stop to consider from
an aggriculturists standpoint the
recognized merits of broom corn as
poor mans crop, it is surprising
that the growing of this most profit
able crop has been SO sadly neglect
ed. It has never been my exper-
fence TO be located in country be-
fore, where the conditions are as
adaptable to this crop in our fertile
valley. With our abundance Of
sunshine and dry summers I con-
slider the conditions ideal for the
cultivation and harvesting of broom
corn to perfection. 1t is crop
which will thrive under neglect to
a surprising degree adapting itself
to surrounding conditions as though
created here.
AS 10 its cultivation it requires
very little, and seems to enjoy being
undisturbed as you will understand
when tell you, that for every fiber
of broom corn contained in the tassel
there is corresponding root. The
top root furnishing the substance
| for the center stem in the tassel.
|
Now should the plant be undisturb.
ed in its growth by cultivation or
wind storms the center stem would
not exist as it is by that very reason
that it does exist. AS in cultivation
broom corn, you disturb the sur
face roots and retard the growth
TO a certain extent, while the top
root which is protected by its posi-
ton sill continues to supply sap to
it's corresponding member. Thus
the center stem is formed in the
tassel. In irrigation broom corn it
requires about the same amount of
moisture as potatoes, and when the
tassel emerges from the root the
water should be turned off. AL
lowing it to mature slowly as a
forced growth at this period would
cause more or less crooked corn.
In harvesting the standard varieties
the only tool needed is a common
pocket knife. The dwarf kinds
can easily be pulled by hand and
thrown on the ground between
rows to cure. Thus saving the ex-
pense of immence sheds necessary
in the east for curing broom corn.
After it is thoroughly dry thresh
off the seed, and you have an article
of commerce unrivaled, by any crop
that grows, upon an equal area
with less work time and trouble
usually bestowed upon the average
crop. The ordinary yield of broom
corn is 1-3 ton per acre and its pre-
sent value as per K. G, quotations
from dealers range from $1oo, for
damaged to $21o, for choice green
corn, per ton. With prospect OF
it going much higher, in fact do
not look for any notable decrease
until the shortage which exists al
the present time shall be supplied,
The available supply has far several
years been unequal to the demands
upon it thus reducing the reserve
surplus to a minium broom corn,
belongs to the sorg um family and
like its parent is great drought
resister. Its value depends: first
upon its streightness of fiber, and
by its length fineness and color, 3rd
: BY its fullness of top and absence
of center stems. Broom corn tc
be ideal should be straight fine f.
t Der full top, choice green color
stemless and selfworking. 1t is
