The following extract taken from
the Helena Independent strikes the
keynote of successfully conducting
an irrigated farm. People these days
are beginning, more and more, to con-
slider quality rather than quantity and
the man who owns a small farm is not
of necessity a small farmer We be-
lieve that this article hits the nail
squarely on the head:
AS the governments plans for re-
claiming the arid lands of the west
proceed, it will become quickly APP
parent that the true success and endu-
rance of the work depends upon the
public acceptatiOn of the wisdom of
small acreages and intensive cutiva-
ton.
The Tailsman, commenting upon
this feature of irrigation, says that
there is one rule which approaches the
dignity of an irresistible law in this
connection; rule so little understood,
so contrary to the traditions of the
past and all the tendencies of the
time, that it needs to be reinforced
with all possible emphasis and vigor.
The irrigated farm should be small
the best limit of size under ordinary
conditions being forty acres, the max
imum that should be allowed any
where being eighty. The feature of
the reclamation act which permits
holdings of 100 acres should be
changed. 1t was a concession original
ly to the ideas that have become fixed
by our public land policy in the past,
where quarter section of land was the
unit. 1t was also perhaps. consciously or
unconsciously,a concession to be desired
to accumulate more acres than can be
titled proftably which has injured ag.
riculture in this country immeasura
bly,.
Because of the size of the farms, in.
tensive cultivation is thing almost
unknown; and effort is shorn of hall
its reward because it is, scattered over
too wide surface. The large tract
that can be acquired under the law il

an advantage to those who cOntem-
plate the acquisition of vast holdings
for speculative purpose but not to the
real farmer. To him it is a constant
temptation to shiftlessness, standard
conducting to the worship of bigness
merely as bigness that is one of the
vices OF our system. 1t is the testimony
of experience, borne out by statistics,
that the small farm is imperative in
an irrigated country.
A whole family has been supported
in more than comfort from the pro-
ducts of single acre. Farms of five
acres are common. farms of forty are
beyond the ability of any farmer with
out considerable capital and a large
force of helpers to cultivate. Passing
the forty-acre stage we revert to the
old policy of indiscrimate largeness
that curses both him that gives and
him that takes. 1t is by no accident
that the states where irrigated farms
are largest in area, Nevada and WvO-
ming, in each of which the average is
over 100 acres per farm, show by far
the smallest average product value per
acre, IS. IS and 81. 20, respectively, the
lowest in the whole list.
We may announce as the law of di-
minishing return in irrigation that
the value of product per acre will de-
crease as the size of the farm increases
above a modest maximum. The >state
where irrigation has been most care
fully thought out and worked out
where it has brought greatest ant
most diffused prosperity, where the
number of unincnmbered farms is lar
gest, Utah. shows farm unit of 81
acres.
This should become a warning an(
a watchword to all friends of irriga
ton and their efforts should be d
rected now to the reduction of TIN

law, whose administration can NJ

The Eleventh Annual report of the
Montana Agricultural College Expert.
ment Station has just been received at
this Office and gives a comprehensive
idea of the work that is being done for
the agricultural and economic devel
opment of the state of Montana. The
Investigations that are being made are
thorough and practical The policy
of the station is to "deepen rather
than broaden their work and the
plan outlined is of such practical val
ne as to be of material aid to the
smallest ranchman. The report in
part says:
1t is not possible to exactly def )
the limits of the station work, ut
broadly speaking it will divide itself
into four groups-three of these large
ly creative or positive and one mega
tive in character.
The first will deal with the originat-
ing and testing of new varieties Of
plants and the study of improved me-
thods of growing them. This will be
the work of the Agronomist and the
Horticulturist, together with the CO.
operation of the Chemist This is
truly broad and important field yet
it is planned to keep it within limits
that will warrant efficiency in re y
suits.
| A second line, which in some re-
spects in an arid country is more i'm
portant than the first mentioned, is
the study of the best use of water
The efficient use of water and the
methods of management that will save
the largest amount for the plant and
reduce the waste to minimum. This
study will be carried on, on irrigated
land and on the dry bench lands and
calls for the cooperation of the Irri.
cation Engineer, the Agronomist and
the Horticulturist.
The third problem will be consid.
Grafton of the relation of land and
live stock. How to economically turr
the crops of the farm into products
that will sell readily and profitably
In this work all classes of live STOCK
will be studied and the relative effic
iency of each will be recorded. Tht

Washington, July 13.-When Secre-
tary Taft made his recent speech de-
claring that officers of the government
We're grossly underpaid he started a
ball rolling which, it is said, will re-
suit soon after the opening of the next
session of congress in a straightfor-
ward, manly effort to put the compen-
sation of the principal officers of the
government where it should be.
There has been talk of such a
has resulted in anything, largely owing
ing president to incur for himself the
charge of extravaganza.
Now that Secretary Taft has spoken
out 1t is said that other cabinet Of
president to induce him to insert a
paragraph in his annual message on
this subject. If he does so, it is more
than likely that congress will act and
thus put an end, to a certain extent, to
the condition which constantly causes
the government great embarrassment,
because it cannot secure the services
of the best class of men at the beg
carly rates of pay fixed for govern
ment work
No one expects that government pay
for the higher grades should be any
thing like as great as that given for
similar work by large corporations.
There is a great honor in securing a
governmental position of high rank
and that is to be taken as compensa-
ton in some degree for a deficiency in
salary.
What it is hoped can be done is to
fix a rate of pay which will enable
men with comparatively large in
comes. but with no private fortunes,
to accept government offices without
direct personal loss.
AS it is now, as every one under
stands, the salary of a cabinet officer
does not pay house rent in many cases
and does not begin to meet the actual
cost of living.
