Acre-Wheat Seeded on Stubble
Ground, the Stubble Acting as a
Protection for the Ground by Catch
ing and Holding the Snowfall.

c. L. Smith, editor of the Inland
Farmer of Spokane, and well known
lecturer on farm subjects, gives the
following valuable statistics on clear
ing new land and beginning a farm in
sagebrush districts of Washington:
During the last week of March we
spent several days in the Glade dis
trict in Yakima and Klickitat coun-
ties, south OF Mabton, under the es-
cort of j. B. Early, who has a home
stead of 100 acres, which he is bring
ing under cultivation. Mr.. Early has
a fine section of sagebrush land, we'll
adapted for successful wheat growing.
Twenty acres of this was plowed last
fall and will be planted to corn this
spring. The balance will be brought
under cultivation as rapidly as posi-
BILE.
We found various methods being
practiced for clearing the sage brush
and bringing the land under cultiva-
ton. One method that seemed quite
simple. inexpensive and satisfactory
was to fence so as to keep the stock
off for year or more and then burn
over during the dry season. In some
instances the ground had been en-
tirely cleared by the fire, in others
some scattering sage brush was still
left.
Some claimed that a better way
was to put on enough horses to break
the land to a good depth, turning un-
der the green sage brush as far as
possible. 1t is claimed that the de-
caying leaves, bark and branches very
naturally improves the condition OF
the land.
The land is usually left one yeal
after plowing before any attempt IL
made at cultivation; then 1t is plowed
again and narrowed and the remain
ing sage brush raked into windrow:
and burned. We saw some fields tha
had been treated this way at tota

YAKIMA INDIAN LEASES.
Renters Can Secure Lands for 10
Years on This Reservation.


Information from Congressman
Jones of Washington, says that the
secretary of the interior will allow
whites to lease Yakima Indian res
ervation lands on the following
terms:
THAT all leases contain a provision
forlevying land for cultivation on
about 40 of each SO-acre tract; for an
alfalfa crop In rotation with a sugar
beet crop; for a reservation Of 10
acres in each allotment to be culti-
waited by the allottees; for the EN-
ployment of Indians in the beet fields
and in the factory wherever pracu-
cable; for the erection on each allot-
ment of certain permanent improve
ments to the value Of $500, the i'm
provements to be located at such
point on the reserved portion as will
be contiguous and most convenient to
the remainder of the allotment, the
same to be left in good condition at
the end Of the lease and to become
the property of the allottee.
mo other permanent improve
ments whatsoever that is in the ma
ture of factories or other buildings
for conducting the sugar beet indus
try are to be permitted on the allot-
ments. An annual rental of 81 per
acre is asked, with further provision
that the rental may be readjusted in
| five years if the secretary sees fit to
do So although the leases may run
10 years"

Bridge Nearly Finished.

]. e. Hayes, who was up from
Burley yesterday, says trains will be
running across the bridge at Minido-
ka on or before May 10. Trains would
be crossing sooner had it not been
for having to wait for few castings
for the bridge work.
The work this side of the river is
nearly done, and track laying will be
most vigorously pushed. The distance
of AZ miles should be covered in at
least so days. which should bring
the read in here on or before June Is.
Graders are working inside the city
limits; although the grading is not
quite finished to that point. The
grading of the entire line should be
finished in about two weeks.-Twin
