The rlinidoka Project in Idaho.

The secretary of the interior has set
aside, Professionally, $2,600,000 for the
construction by the engineers of the
reclamation service of the Minidoka
project in Idaho.
This project provides for the recla-
nation of about 10000 acres of pub
lie land on both sides of Snake river
in southern Idaho. Water will be TAX
en- from the river about six miles be-
low Minidoka station, at point where
it has cut through the lava ridge,
which is an extension of the great lava
fields that approach the river from
the north between American Falls and
Minidoka.
The most important feature of con-
struction in connection with the Mini
doka project is the dam on Snake
river. The conditions here are very
favorable for such a work. The top
of thel ava ridge is about AZ feet above
the river at low water, the formation
of the lava ridge is about At feet above

a considerable portion of the time.
Finally the business of the farmer
requires a steady and regular income
in order that he may provide for neces-
sary tools, seeds and implements, and
also that he may pay wages when due.
A steady and regular income allows
him to do business on cash basis and
thus to take advantage of opportuni-
ties in buying. He can by this means
do business on a smaller capital than
would be required in the credit sys-
tenn. The rules which lead to the
adoption of the system of rotation I'M
der present conditions are general and
not fixed. To grow such crops as pay
the greatest returns per acre should
be the aim, and rotations should be
so modified that the less profitable
crops should contribute as much as
possible to the development of the
more profitable. Whether a crop is
profitable or not will depend upon the
character of the soil, climate, availa-
bility of farm labor, location and mar
ketS.

From $4,000 to $4,000 acres can be re-
claimed at reasonable cost by pump
ing. The area to be benefited by this
project is all government land. Home
stead entries within a radius of one
and a half miles from the center of
each townsite are to be limited to 40
acres and those on all other lands un'
der this project to 80 acres. The
soil is a deep, sandy loan, free from
alkali, which is now producing
thrifty growth of sage brush. The
lands are tributary to the Oregon
Short Line railroad.

rotation including some one or the
legumes lessons the necessity of sup
plying nitrogen to the soil.
The problem of efficient labor on the
farm is also made more simple by the
adoption of system of crop rotation.
The farmer is enabled thereby to keep
labor employed throughout the entire
year. thus avoiding the necessity for
short term service. Such a provision
also allows the farmer to keep his
animals employed throughout the year
instead of allowing them to stand idle

the river from this point to American
Falls flows in a narrow canyon or val
ley from 40 to $50 feet below the bench
lands. 1t is proposed to erect diver
sion dam SO feet high and $50 feet long
on top. which will back the water up
the river for a distance Of 35 miles.
A canal to carry water to the north
side lands, with q carrying capacity OF
1000 cubic feet second will be taken
out at the dam. The south side canal,
about Is miles in length, will irrigate
5000 acres by gravity, and will conduct
water to the pumping stations for ele-
walton to the higher lands on that side
of the river. 1t will have capacity
of about 500 cubic feet per second.
Considerable power will be developed
for lifting the water to bench lands
above the line of gravity bitches.
The contract for the dam, spillway
and upper part of canal was awarded,
in August, 1904, to the Bates & Rogers
Construction company of Chicago The
plans call for the construction of a
core wall across the river. The other
materials which were to be placed in
the dam, such as loose rock, gravel
and earth, will be used for coffer-dam-
ming during the construction of this
wall. The construction plant is now
in full operation, and the entertainments
constituting the first section of the
coffer-dam will soon be ready for the
construction of the core wall. The
contract provides for the completion
of the dam and spillway by November
II. 1905.
The construction of the dam will
provide splendid facilities for the de-
velopment of power. The minimum
discharge of the river at this point
which will be available for this pur-
pose is 2,10O second-feet. This can
easily be increased to 5000 feet by
storage on the headwaters OF the
stream. This water can be passed
through walls under head of about
80 feet, which will provide for the
development of more than 1900
horsepower.
1t is proposed to use the greater
part of this power for pumping water
onto the lands situated above the grav-

other crops When these two
classes are in a rotation the
soil is given an opportunity to
rest. Again when the farm is produc-
ing but one crop a year, the soil is
left bare at certain seasons, while the
growth of variety of crops permits
of continuous covering and a con-
slant use. Practically speaking, there
is no soil which is not improved by
cropping. In the language of Jethro
Tull, "Tillage is Manure"
The continuous growth of one crop
renders it more liable to insect attack
and to the development of diseases
called rot and blight. It is a we'll
known fact that crops lose vigor by
being grown year after year, and are
therefore less able to withstand insect
ravages. A change is also valuable
