TESTIMONY At WASHINGTON

trine Of Riparian Rights.

Use Of Water for Irrigation az Opposed
to the Old Common Law Doc.
trine Of Riparian Rights.
Washington. Feb. 26.-Hearings in
the case Of Kansas versus Colorado
were commenced yesterday.
Attorney General Miller, Judge Hayt
and c. c. Dawson were present on be-
half of Colorado. s. H. Ashbaugh rep
resented Kansas, and A. c. Campbell
represented the government.
| The following witnesses testified:
Delegate Rodey, Representative Bell OF
California and Jones of Washington,
and George H. Maxwell of the National
Irrigation association.
Delegate Rodey testified In effect
that there had been reclaimed by irri-
CATION In New Mexico about 100000
acres. and that about 100000 acres
could be added by impounding and US
ing flood and other waters which now
go to waste. That this land, II re-
claimed would support several mil
lions of population, and that II the
contention Of Kansas was sustained.
large parts Of the already irrigated
area would be rendered arid and unin.
habltable, and there would be pract-
cally no future development In New
Mexico along agricultural or hOrticul-
tural lines.
Representative Jones stated that
while it was true that the supreme
court of his state had decided that the
doctrine of riparian rights prevailed
there. yet that such doctrine was not
enforced in the arid sections OF the
state. and II enforced the result would
be that lands which are now irrigated
would be greatly damaged, II not de-
stroyed, and that several hundred
thousand acres of land In the arid sec
ton. which are capable of irrigation
would forever remain unproductive and
uninhabitablc, and that under such
doctrine the reclamation act could not
be enforced in his state. Further. that
the Legislature Of Washington was now
considering bill which would in eff
feet make the reclamation act oper-
ative.
Representative Bell stated. among
other things. that from l2O0O,OoO to
5000. 600 acres could be added to the
irrigated area in California, thus IN
creasing its wealth many millions OF
dollars and adding to its population
many millions, but that no future de-
velopment could be made If the doc
trine Of riparian rights. as contended
for by Kansas, was sustained and ap-
piled in his state.
Mr.. Maxwell stated that under the
reclamation act and under the doctrine
of appropriation OF water OF streams
for beneficial uses, about 150.0O0OO0
acres OF lands now arid and unproduct-
i've in the arid region. could be made
productive and profitable. and placed
In high state OF cultivation. but that
no future development could be had In
the arid regions. nor could the policy
OF the government as seen In the re-
clamation act be enforced, II the con.
tention OF Kansas was sustained.

This year may be taken as marking
the semicentennial of agricultural edu-
cation in this country. Fifty years ago
the state of Michigan took steps to
establish an agricultural college, which
was the first institution of the kind in

now it is planned to celebrate in a
fitting way the anniversary of its
opening.

gently over the button until the skin
becomes slightly raw and smarts lit

which will soon disappear, and, If the
work is properly done, will leave the
calf without horns. One application is
usually enough but in ease the horns
start again the application can be re-
peated. Care should he taken that
none of the caustic potash runs down
over the hair to injure the eyes aud

Large dealers who have taken time
to study the butter situation with
some care express themselves sur
prlsed at the scarcity of butter. They
find that the western receiving centers
which used to send large amounts to
the east have now scarcely enough
butter for their own use. Both Chicago
and New York have unusually small
receipts for the time of the year. The
compiler of the Elgin dairy report is
inclined to think that the trouble Is
not interpretation, but is owing to
the increase in demand. In other
words, the use of butter has more
than caught up with the production
and now exceeds the ability of dairy
farmers to produce fine butter.-Ameri-
