THE FIELD
Conserving the Moisture.

The conservation of moisture by Gull
tivation is based on well-established
principles. During a rainstorm or an
irrigation the water received by the
soil naturally moves downward. AS
soon as the supply from above ceases
and the free water settles away the
movement of the moisture in the soil
sets in the opposite direction, NOV
ing upward as we'll as downward AS
the moisture reaches the surface it
passes off as vapor. Only by prevent
ing the water reaching the surface
can this evaporation be checked. The
capillary action by which the water
reaches the point where it evaporates
can move only in closely packed soil
through innumerable, minute, irregu-
lar tubes. Breaking up these tubes
checks this upward movement. Light
cultivation not only breaks up the
capillary tubes of the surface but
forms a mulch that prevents rapid
evaporation. The moisture will then
rise to the mulch but cannot pass be-
yond it by capillary action and
evaporation thus proceeds much more
slowly than if the moisture were per-
mitted to follow the capillary tubes
to the surface.

Drainage of Sub-Irrieated Land.

The matter of draining too wet
lands, whether they be naturally too
wet or have been soaked by the seep
age of irrigation waters, is claiming
the attention of land owners in the
Yakima valley, where irrigation is
practiced largely The North Yakima
Herald says that, as a result of neces-
sarily continued irrigation in the val
legs of the county, much very valuable
land has become sub-irrigated to such
an extent that it's utility proved i'm
practicable. The question of how TO
reclaim lands of this kind for long
time proved to be a hard and almost

The Yakima county commissioners
have raised the assessment of the

that the company made a vigorous
protest. This company is the largest

rights in the valley.

The potato crop in Columbia county
this year will not be as large as has
been the case. The vines appear
strong and healthy, but there are very
few potatoes in the hill. The quality,
however, is of the best, and many car
loads from that section will find a
ready market outside.

Last Thursday there was held in
Walla Walla a meeting of the people
interested in irrigation matters in
Franklin county near Pasco. The If
rigation commissioners of Washington
and Oregon were to meet in joint
session to consider matters that would
affect both states, and the Pasco pro-
ject was feature in the meeting.
What action was taken has not been
announced at this writing. DR.. N.
G. Blalock was a moving spirit in
the meeting. He was the first man
who advocated irrigation in the Walla
Walla section, and he it was who plan
ned and built the Palouse ditch in the
vicinity of Washtucna. This ditch
was never completed for lack of funds,
and is there yet, mute evidence
of the great faith DR.. Blalock had in
the ultimate success of irrigation in
this section.

And Discusses the
/ Matter of Reduction
of Public Debt
Claims the Debt Was Only
S25,516 in July 1890
After Providing Run
niEg Expenses

Mr.. Editor--Dear Sir: I have seen
statements published, from the tone
of which l can draw no other CON
illusion than that such statements
have been published to further the
political interests of certain persons
In this county, to the effect that Ma
ron county was in debt $4,000 on
July 6, 1900, and that the same has
been paid off and at the same time
the expenses Of the county reduced,
and such statements being so far at
variance with the facts | hope you
viii pardon me for Offering a few
corrections. and in doing so l speak
in the light of four years experience
in keeping the records of Marion
county.
First let us examine the records of
Expenditures for the last seven years
and see what we find:
Year ending April 1, 1898. SIC, ,S64.16
Year ending April 1. 1899. G5.S14.44
Year ending April 1. 1900. 52,04776
Year ending April 1, 1901. 5O,579O2
Year ending April /, 1902. 56,470.22
Year ending April i, 1903. 59.710 22
Year ending April l, 1904. 66,652.4O
In explanation let it be noted that
s9695.31 in 1902 and s9164.44 in 1903
was raised under the special 11s mill
road tax and are not included in the
above table of expenditures.
From the above table 1t will be
readily seen that the year from April
/, 1900 to April 1, 1901 is less than any
other year and that the expenditures
have steadily increased year by year
since.
Now let us consider the matter OF the
Indebtedness, or alleged Indebtedness
of $4,000 on July 6, 1900.
The exact amount of outstanding
warrants on July 6, 1900, as shown by
the register of warrants in the county
treasurer's office, was $7S,S1767, but
let It be remembered that under the
law prior to 1901 the greater part of
the taxes we're collected in Septem-
Der and October and that the state
taxes were pair prior to July 6, 1900.
From an examination Of the ledger
account Of taxes found in the county
clerks office II will be found that
prior to July 6 of that year there
was levied, but collected after that
date, on the tax rolls of 1895. 1896, |
1897, 1898 and 1899 the handsome lit
tie sum Of $7S.9SO.97 applicable to
the payment of county warrants; and |

day the showing would have been |
