Irrigation Project Has
a Very Large
Scope.
Ask Government Aid
to Reclaim Vast
Expanse.

A conference has been in progress in
Los Angeles that lasted several days,
the purpose of which was to find some
basis upon which the irrigation system
of the Imperial Valley may be taken
over by the United States Goyernment
and completed as a part of a compre-
hensive plan TO cover all lands on the
lower Colorado River, so says the Los
Angeles Herald, which makes also the
following statements relative to the
matter:
The plan will include possibly 500 00O acres in
the United States and 100000 acres in Lower
California and Mexico.
While the negotiations have not reached a
definite conclusion, il is understood that there
is good prospect that the water users and
a price which will include Mexican land over
which the irrigation canals have TO travel.
The price Of this will probably be somewhere
between 81 800. coo and 81, 500. coo.
1t is expected that when the water users
and the development company have reached an
agreement If that agreement reaches the ap-
proval of the Reclamation Bureau Of the In
terror Department, the Government Will ad-
vance the moIley for the purchase Of the plant
and for its completion out OF the reclamation
fund the amount to be paid back to the Gov
ernment in ten annual payments without in
terest.

the Lower Colorado. for the new system will
this country but IT will take rank with the
immense irrigation systems built by the Brit
ish Government the Nile and Ganges rivers.
and probably would remain for all time as
of the three greatest irrigation systems on
earth
There has been some fear expressed that the
Mexican Government might interpose obstacles
to the acquisition of the system by the people
through the Reclamation Bureau, but II now
looks as though this would not be the case
About the only lands in Mexico available fol
irrigation are those OF the California and Mex
leo Land and Cattle Company and the Cali,
fornia development Company both composed
of Los Angeles capitalists, and their interests
are naturally allied with a movement 10 secure
the completion OF the irrigation system on g
strong basis.
What is really the most complicated feature
OF the projected completion OF the system by
the Government is the fact that the 211. cot
acres which have been filed on have secured
water stock in mutual companies, based on tht
system OF the California Development Com
pany, and have paid a large sum OF money
| for water right on which the Government ha:

GREAT soNoMA COLONY.
Asti Illustrates What Can Be Accom-
pIished i'm California by Experts.

The Sonoma County Farmer has been
collecting some facts concerning the
Asti colony in Sonoma County. Briefly
told there is interest in the illustration
of what can be done in California
Some extracts from the Farmers story
follow:
In 1881 this was a sheep ranch Of 2OOO acres.
Block by block It's broad acres were planted 10
the choicest Italian vines. Seven hundred
acres have been added the south, where the
station Of Chianti has been established. There
are 2T00 acres in vines and 1900 are In tull
bearing. The yield is not fabulous. but there
are no finer vines or vintage even in Italy
The colony crushed over 5000 tons OF out
side grapes last year and has ample facilities
! for caring for the vintage OF 1904.
! About fifty tons Of cream OF tartar are made
! yearly and the residue from the pomace is
converted into valuable fertilizer for the
/ vines.
| destroyin. a prolific harbor for pests The
/ ashes carefully used about the vines.
Labor is too high priced to admit Of the
/ of machinery for MASKING trimmings and
/ turning them into direct fertilizer, as is done
| in Europe.
The sherry house contains 10000 gallons of
/ wine, which Will be cooked from sixty days up
! in a temperature Of 14O to $50 degrees, accord
/ inz to conditions. About $4,000 gallons of
brandy is made by the modern continuous still
/ process. This Is used for fortifying, something
/ like 100000 gallons OF sherry being made
! yearly.
After pastuerization choice wines are cooled
! down in the ice machine by the ammonia
! process to remove cloudness- Wine loses about
per cent in wood. hence four cement tanks
! with capacity of 10000 gallons each lined
with glass made to order in Italy, and con-
| structed by expert direct from Italy, is
| the innovation for this season. They cost
about 900 and will be used for storage OF
select wines prior to bottlng.
The Asti winery has a storage capacity Of
200 900 gallons: CIoverdae. Fulton and Sc
| bastopol, SOC, 900 each, a total Of $500 900
| gallons. chiefly used for the dry wines Of So
noma County.
The MADEIRA plant can store 100000 gal
Ions Lemoore and Kingsbury wineries each
900. or a total Of 5000 600 gallons, chiefly
sweet wines.
| At the San Francisco warehouse there is
| coonerage for 1000 coo gallons. making a
| grand total of u 5O00 0C0 gallons. and some
. 600. 600 gallons of cooperage viii shortly be
| added making in round numbers Is, coo, 600
gallons to meet the requirements.
President Rossi and family have just moved
into ''Villa Buen Retro. princey bungalow.
| which has been erected on the main road
commanding grand view of THE Finest
! Valley in the World with the great winery
in the foreground. Il contains sixteen sleep
ing anartments a magnificent reception room
finished in mahogany at cost Of $4,000 and
| other necessary rooms. 1t is lighted by many
windows and deep veranda skirts it three
sides Artistic grounds with spacious walks
and drives are being laid out.

has seen in America, and given it as
his opinion that under proper cultiva-
tion il will make a growth that will
fiji all requirements. The letter states
that a small piece of mating made
from the sample has been forwarded
for inspection and the writer offers to
cooperate in every way in an effort
TO demonstrate thoroughly the possi-
bilities of the plant.
The possibilities Of mating manu-
facture may be appreciated when it is
understood that 100000 yards of
mating are imported annually into
the United States. Very little is man
ufactured here and none from home
grown grass. The grass used in mat
ting manufacture in this country is
imported from Japan at a cost of $50
per ton.
The plant introduction garden lately
established by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture at Chico, in
Butte County, will probably play an
important part in the tests that will
be made of this and perhaps other
grasses for mating purposes P. H.
Dorsett, manager of the gardens, has
expressed a great interest in the mat
ter and will take it up direct with the
department, and it is altogether prob
able that a tract of suitable land may
be secured and experiments in culture
conducted under his supervision.
The possibility of introducing into
our tuIe lands a product that will sell
at $50 per ton or at any considerable
portion Of such figure is sufficiently
enticing TO warrant considerable ex-
/ penditure in investigation. General
! Green Is confident that success will
/ be attained.

PRACTICAL BENEFITS.

The great value of the garden, of
course, is in the benefit to agriculture
and horticulture This may be best
illustrated by calling attention to
benefits which have already accrued to
American farmers through plant in
PRODUCTION. For many years the de-
partment has maintained a staff of
'a--icultural explorers" who search
the earth for new plans that may
prove of value to the American
farmer.
They are constantly sending in new
seeds and new plants, some of which
prove Of value, while others, of course
prove of no value here. Those which
give promise of developing into valu-
able products are carefully propa-
gated and in many instances improved
or acclimated by selection and plant
breeding This work is not confined
TO finding new and strange plants, but
new varieties Of plants already grown
extensively here are constantly sought
and occasionally the search results in
developing varieties that are distinct
gain to the producers of this coun-
try.
Among the importations of this
