CHIEF NEWELL
PAYS 4 OLSIT

Mr.. F. H. Newell, Chief Enei-
neer of the United States Recla-
nation Service, accompanied by
Mr.. LII. Taylor, supervising Ell
gineer for Nevada, were in Fal-
lon last Monday evening, hav-
ing inspected the progress of the
great irrigation work i'll the
lower Carson Valley The Sun
day before they, together with
Mr. Morris Bien, head Of the le-
al department, drove along the
Truckee canal and found every
thing i'll a most satisfactory con
dition.
Mr.. Newell, as chief hvdrog-
rapher, of the United States Geo
logical Survey, was principal
factor iii having matters SO well
III hand, that the work of the
Reclamation service could begin
almost as soon as the Reclama-
ton act was signed. The val
liable and, indee necessary i'll
torma ton relative to the capac-
itv and varying flow of streams,
was available from the data his
bureau has been collecting for a
number of years. That the pres
ent work in Nevada. so impor-.
tant to the upbuilding of The
State, was commenced SO soon
is largely due to Mr.. TAYLOR,
who, i'll anticipation of the pass
age OF the Reclamation law,
had outlined q general plan of
the present Truckee- Carson
scheme, and the project was
practically ready for authorize
ton by the time money was
available for beginning the work.
Traditions as to the govrnmentS
slowness i'll opera ting have been
upset by this immense project,
as also has another falce tradi-
ton as to the cost Of govern.
ment work. One cannot realize
how much has been accomplish
ed OH the Truckee- Carson system
without a personal visit to the
works--this within two aud one
half years after the passage of
the act and at a minimum Of
cost, considering the quality of
the work, that would compare
most favorable with any impor-
tant work done by private cor
pora ton, and it should be borne
in mind that this is an absolutely
new departure for the govern
mcnt and that the service had
to solve engineering. legal and
other difficulties Of which Law
men can have no appreciable

gress held at EI Paso Texas.

REGARDING
WATER RIGHTS

The Secretary of the Interior
has decided that certificates of
water rights, under government
irrigation systems, must be is
sued by the local land offices,
to which applications must be
made. Blank application torms
are being prepared and will soon

son City.
There are certain requirem
of the law aud dep al
regulations to which private
laud owners must conform in
order to quality as a holder of a
water right. Under the law one
person can buy water for only
100 acres of land. La other pro
jects now under cOHStruc tiou
existing water rights have been
assigned TO the government
without consideration, but un-
der the Truckee- -Carsou sVstem
the present water rights are
more valuable and the govern
mcnt gives TO those who wish

gated III exchange for the exist
ing water right The owner can

more land than his irrigated
land plus 100 acres amounts to,
he must, before hls applica is
approved, give assurances, IN
such torn as will he acceptahle
10 the Department, that he will
sell has surplus land at a reason
able price to persous quallhcd so

crs, who can each purchase
water for 100 acres in addition
10 the irrigated area. The rec
ords must show the loud TO he
held in the name of the water
right applicant by deed, bond or
contract.
The question has been often
asked whether a man, VITO owns

of his land to his wife aud chill
dren of legal age so that they
may qualify as water-right
holders, The Secretary of the
Interior holds that this is legal

nation Service will assist all
who desire to get their affairs III

cided 10 not press its offices
upon anyone.
Owners OF private lauds who
do not desire to conform to the
rules governing the distrIbctioH

system will, of course, retain
their present water rights, and

id foundation or on the sand. Let us face the
facts squarely, and see If we have not made some
mistakes, during the past. Are we each year
steadily advancing, in finances, in home comforts
and surroundings, in inclination and ability, to
educate our children, and do good to our fellow
man? IF we cannot answer these question in the
affirmative, it behooves us to seriously consider the
pitching of our crops for the present year.
Perhaps we have been planting too largely of
our money crop, cotton, tobacco, or whatever that
crop may be. May be we are in debt, and have
been trying to get square with the world by risk
ing everything on our money crop, intending to
change as soon as we are out of debt.
Let US seriously consider if it would not be
wise to arrange our Indebtedness so that we could
make smaller but surer payments, and get our
farming on a safer basis. We all know the risk
of the one-crop system. A large proportion of the
cotton and tobacco farmers are exhausting their
lands by a succession of these crops. There are
lots of fields in my county that have been planted
continuously in cotton for ten, twenty, and some
even for forty years. Now we all know that this
is not good farming. So then let us plan pitching
of our crops this year, not only to provide an
abundant supply of provisions, but to arrange
to establish a system of rotation that will perma-
nentlly build up our lands.
The recent high price of cotton makes it spe-
cially tempting to plant largely of this crop the
present season, but we should consider the ex-
pensiveness of the crop, and the uncertainty of
the price, and the feeling of independence and
satisfaction that comes from well filled barns and
cribs. | have just built a large barn in order to
be able to raise more grain and hay.
My neighbors will not increase their cotton crop
this year, but will increase their hay crop. The
wheat and out crops have improved in appear
ance recently. VIII close with three cheers for

Also if the drouth holds on for two or three weeks,
the liquid food is dried up and the plant stands
there starving, while you wish and pray for rain.
Now if you had put your land, or plant stomach,
in a good mechanical condition., so it could hold
liquid plant food under either of the above condi-
tions, you would have had no occasion to complain
or feel any uneasiness. Your crop would have
been a good one.
Deep blowing, eight or ten inches, and plenty of
humus will never fail to give you a paying crop.

Fertilizer Home Mixing.
Editors Progressive Farmer:

Ferunzer-Home Mixing.
Editors Progressive Farmer:
With the information coming from Experiment
Stations in regard to mixing chemicals for fertil-
izer-giving different formulas for different crops,
the farmer should be greatly encouraged, and
should intelligently use this information to his
benefit. However, if we are to be benefited, there
are many things that we should carefully study.
First and foremost, we must have a high grade Of
chemicals-pure and unauthorized. And where
to buy them is a matter of deep concern. Our ex-
perience in this matter will probably do some one
good.
For several years we bought chemicals from
guano companies, which would invariably be re-
sacked. We have repeatedly asked for the chem
icals to be sent in original bags, potash containing
224 pounds bearing a lead seal and nitrate of soda
containing 3O5 pounds, the one mined at Stass-
furt, Germany, the other in the rainless regions
of South America. We soon found we were not
getting the genuine goods. The guano companies
discourage home mixing, as it is a clear loss of
about $3.50 per ton to them. A good sand sieve
is a great benefit in the process of mixing chemi-
Gals. One time going through a sieve will mix it
more tina nthree times going over with a shovel or
hoe.
For potatoes and some other vegetables we use
Ine 1O1OW1nS formula: Nitrate soda lOO pounds,
which gives about 1 per cent to a ton of amonia;
600 pounds cotton-seed meal, which adds 212 per
cent more of amonia; 800 pounds muriate potash.
which will add 712 per cent potash; and 1000
pounds, IA per cent acid phosphate, which give Z
per cent phosphorus. This makes a ton of high
grade guano, worth on the market 1920 per ton,
and made at a cost of $3.50. Near the seaboard
would not cost quite so much.
We see this is a neat saving to begin with, but
simply knowing how to mix and distribute fertil-
izer does not bring success to the farmer. We are
using every means possible in our reach to inn
prove our land. Flowing deep and subsoiling,
making and buying all the manure we can, sowing
peas for summer and rye for winter improvements;
shallow and frequent cultivation during the grow
ing season will greatly increase the fertility of our
soil and increase the crops materially.
The most we ever realiged from land was when
it was worked II times before any seed was
planted.
We grew a lot of fine second-crop potatoes last
fall, with very little rain. Our potatoes were cul-
tivated shallow and often. These will be offered
for sale soon, and will bring $1.25 to $3.50 per
bushel. Work done at the right time pays wonder
fully we'll. W. L. KIVETT.

Test ALI Kinds of Seeds.

We have from time to time urged our readers
without knowing how much of it will grow. No
matter how we'll the seed corn has been kept, no
matter how favorable the circumstances may be
under which it is planted. no man should ever
think of planting or sowing any kind of seed with
out first ascertaining the per cent of it that will
grow as far as possible under ordinary farm con
ditions. It is so easily done that there is no ex-
cuse for a man who has a short crop because he
failed to test his seed.
Take a common cigar box, place in the bottom
of it a piece of common newspaper thoroughly
wet, count your seeds and put them in, fold a wet
paper over them, close the lid of the box, tie a
string around it, and set it on the mantle or be-
hind the kitchen stove, or anywhere that it will
secure sixty degrees of heat. If it gets a little
lower than that at night it makes the conditions
more like those of the field. On the fourth day
count your seeds and see how many have two
sprouts, one for the top, the other for the root;
then count again on the sixth and seventh days.
and you will not be long in ascertaining the value
of your corn for seed.
Apply this same principle to every other kind
of seed you grow-clover, timothy, blue grass,
oats, wheat, rye, barley-and then you may know
the kind of seed you have and what allowance to
make for defects in germination.-Wallace's
