MONEY FOR IRRIGATION EXPERIMENTS

This leaves the irrigation farmer to
seek his money crop among such spe-
cial crops as fruits, vegetables, hops
and sugar beets. Some of these are
crops that require long time to
come into profitable bearing, while
others demand special markets or the
building of expensive factories. So
that 1t is claimed that the most seri-
Gus problems of irrigation farming
begin when the water is put on the
land.
The first project to be opened for
settlement and supplied with water
under the terms of the reclamation
act is in western Nevada, in Senator
Newland's own state. This is known
as the Truckee-Carson project, and
water will be furnished to the settlers
on this project this spring.
1t is hoped by Senator Newland that
his bill may result in securing the aid
of the department of agriculture in
conducting experiments on this pro-
ject and in bringing to the attention
of the settlers there the crops best
adapted for their conditions.
Through its various scientific bu-
reaus, the department of agriculture
has been investigating for several
years some of the more acute prob
lens that confront the irrigation far
mer. New crops have been intro
duced from foreign countries, i'm
proved varieties of native crops are
being secured by breeding, method!
have been found by which alkali ma.
be removed from the soil. and way
have been discovered of so applying
irrigation water that injury by alkal
can be reduced to a minimum.
These and many other questions o
the same nature have been the sub
ject of Investigations in the depart
ment of agriculture, and it is believed
that IL means can be provided b.
which the department can bring tn
results of its Investigations directl.
before the people, it will be OF tn
greatest benefit not only to the set
tiers on the government projects, bu
to all the irrigation farmers of tn
west.

LOW COST OF IRRIGATION RESERVOIRS

cost of 100000. The capacity of
the reservoir is 43,560, 100000 cubic
feet, or more than 10 times that of the
Croton. The cost of the dam per mill
lion cubic feet storage is therefore
only s92.95 as against $500 for the
New Croton, and s23s for the Wachu-
sett. Similar figures for the Shos-
hone dam, the highest in the world,
are: cubic yards of masonry, $4,000,
cost, s1.O00,000, capacity of reservoir,
20,000,00 cubic feet or a cost per
million cubic feet storage of s5035.
Nature Has Helped.
These extremely low costs have sell
dom been equalled in hte history of
reservoir construction, and are due
largely to the excellent natural facil-
tiles which are found in the rugged
western country. From this fact II
must not be inferred that western
structures are simply engineering
works. On the contrary, owing tc
their isolated location. their inaccessi-
bility by rail and often by wagon, and
the erratic and torrential character o.
the streams, they involve problems
which tax the skill and ingenuity o
their builders to the utmost.
It Is most fortunate that these res
ervoirs provide enormous storage a
relatively low cost, otherwise theil
construction would not be feasible, a
the irrigated land could not bear thu
expense of the costly structures Of tn
east with their limited storage ca
pacity.
The Croton dam, II it had been con
structed in Salt River valley in Ari
zona for irrigation, would only suppl
$4,000 acres, and irigators would hav
to pay $3.50 an acre for stored water
as against $40, the estimated cost fror
the Roosevelt dam.

HORSES ARE SCARCE.
Breeders Gazette Reviews the Situa-
ton With Alarm.


A recent number of the Breeders
Gazette. says of horse conditions in
the United States: Where is the great
crop Of colts that the prophets told
us would mature in 1906? When
horse breeding began to breathe again
in 1898 and to become general in
1899, expanded in 1900 and still more
largely followed in 1901, we were as
sured by many seers with owl-like
wisdom that by the year of grace
1906 there would be a plethoric over
supply of horses and that prices would
once more have fallen below the point
of profit.
Now here we are in that year,
prices are on the highest level, take
them all through. ever known, and
the shippers are hunting high and
low, wearing out shoe leather In great
| quantities and though seeking many
horses finding few. Obviously the
prophets have erred somewhere.
They are now without honor In any
country so far as the horse business is
concerned.
Not so long ago 1t was confidently
| stated by a certain species OF the
genus calamity howler that 1--WE had
gone through the period of scarcity
and not known it." Perhaps we did
travel along such a line, but, II we
did not know 1t, 1t could not hurt us
The actual fact is that whatever
may be said of the past, the present
horse market looks awful good to a
man up a tree. Thousands Of 4-year-
olds that are not yet hard horses,
in the language of the trade, and
therefore not fit to turn to work ir
the city streets, are being sold eacf
week in all the great marts; grea
many 3-year-olds are being marketed
and even 2-year-olds are passing
through the auction sales at all Of thu
leading centers of trade.

sHEEpMEN ARE VERY HOPEFUL
High Prices for Wool and Sheep, and
Loss Very Light.
Says the Boise Statesman:

Says the Boise Statesman:
j. w. Webster, the Fremont county
sheepman and farmer, is in the city
to attend an executive meeting of the
Idaho Woolgrowers' association,
which will be held this morning, and
also attend a meeting of the State
Livestock Sanitary board, of which he
is member.
Mr.. Webster states that the sheep
men in his county are feeling fine
over the condition of their flocks this
year and over the prices that are
ranging in the wool and livestock
markets. He says all the wool in
Fremont county, with the exception
of that of three or four sheepowners
has been sold. The price has ranged
from 81 cents to "a cents. The larger
portion sold for 22h cents. They are
just commencing to lamb in that Sec
tion, this being the usual time.
In March Mr. Webster lambed 1000
of his ewes in sheds and turned out
112h per cent. He recently pur-
chased $500 head Of breeding ewes
from two to four years old for $5.25
head and considers that he secured
a SNAP" The man who sold the
sheep is going out of the business and
was anxious to dispose of his flocks.
The wool on the sheep purchased is
contracted for % cents. There are
not many sheep being offered for sale
in that country, what few are for sale
being priced at $5.50@6.
Last winter was the hardest they
have had in Fremont for the last 10
years. 1t was expensive feeding but
at the same time it was good winter
to feed. Out of the 10000 head of
sheep that Mr.. Webster owns he says
he lost only about l per cent, which
is exceptionally light. Altogether Mr..
Webster estimates there are about
100000 head of sheep in Fremont
county.

THE ELSON ART EXHIBIT.
Fine Collection OF Famous Paintings
Coming Here May 2, 3 and 4.


The Elson Art exhibit, which comes
to this city on May 2, and 4, for the
benefit of the public schools, Is said
to be one of the very best on the road.
There are over 200 famous paint
ings in the collection, and the income
from the exhibit here will be devoted
to buying pictures for the public
schools. John Van Dyke, the promi-
nent American art critic, says of this
exhibit:
you must look at pictures studi-
ously earnestly, honestly 1t Will
take years before you can come to a
full appreciation of it. but when at
last you have you will be possessed of
one of the purest, loftiest and most
ennobling pleasures that the world
can offer you"
This collection has been made by
experts. Every artist who knows how
to draw at all has something to give
Of pleasure and pr fit, but the great
est even have the most and best to
give.
What constitutes an artist? He is
in the first place one who himself
knows how to see, and in the second
place one who has a gift for making
us see him.
One great object of picture study Is
that Of opening the eyes to the beauty
all around which an artists trained
eye perceives, while 1t is missed by
others. This is the essential service
Of all great men-to draw us up ir
some measure to their own level OF
insight enjoyment and inspiration.
These pictures are Of interest to all
both young and old, and they are ex
pected to attract and instruct large
numbers of people. Everyone shoult
come.

mined to go in on a larger scale, I'M
til row he has eight lighthouses about
300 feet long by so feet deep, all
steam-heated, with a force of about 10
men to manage them, all growing GU
cumbers.
Lettuce is raised in the houses from
October to March, the cucumber-vines
not being set out until about the mid
die of March. The vines are started
set out in the houses they are in most
cases two or three feet in length, with
buds just starting.
Heavy steel wire is stretched on
poles, and forms a support for the
growing vines that fairly fill the house
as, year after year, they produce sew
eral hundred barrels of cucumbers,
and that at a time when the prices
they command are big.
There is, however, a pathetic side
to the case; and that is, the loss of the
bees After the little fellows fly about
the house from blossom to blossom
they fail in most cases to find their
hives, and hundreds of them can be
seen bobbing against the glass roof OF
the house, trying to get outside.
It doesn't take much of this to put
them out of business, and SO we find
hundreds of dead bees on the floor
which could not get to their homes.
This being the case, Mr. Becker is
compelled to buy new hives each year
for his houses but as this is merely a
matter of few dollars output for a
return of many hundreds of dollars,
the item is looked upon as one of
necessary expense.
Thus year after year this shrewd old
German makes the bees help him pro-
duce early cucumbers which, without
their help, would be impossible 1t is,
therefore, very evident that all who
grow fruits and certain vegetables
should be sure that there are bees
enough in the neighborhood to insure
the proper fertilization of the bios.

important part in this respect. OF
course, the bee unconsciously does its
work of fertilizing blossoms, it's prime
object being to secure the nectar Sc
creted in the corolla; but as it buries
itself deep in the blossom it carries
on it's downy body the fertilizing pol
len, which is transmitted to the sta
mems.
Jean Ingelow noted the little fell
lows coated with pollen, and wrote:
oh, velvet bee! you're a dusty fellow;
You've powdered your legs with gold.
According to Gleanings in Bee Gull
ture no state, perhaps, produces more
apples and grapes than does New
York, and perhaps in no other state
is Bookkeeping carried on so extensive
ly. The connection between the two,
therefore, is manifest.

California where cherries were pro-
duced in enormous quantities, and in
cidentally bees were kept by some
who were not engaged in the produc-

ton of fruit. For some reason
quarrel arose between the bee-keep-
ers and the cherry growers, who
claimed the bees were singing the
fruit. with the result that the bees
were shipped away. In a few months
the cherry crop began to dwindle, and
almost fail; and when the growers
met together to consider the cause it
was found that with the sending
away of the bees, the crop had begun
to fail.
There happened to be one or two
wise heads in the convention, who
surmised the cause; and as an expert
ment the bees were brought back,
with the result that the crop went
back to it's former proportions, thus
showing the close relation between
bees and fruit.
What is true of blossoms is
also true Of many others, chief of
which is the cucumber. There are
two distinct kinds of blossoms upon
a cucumber vine-the male and fe-
male; and in order to get the fruit the
pollen must be carried from the male
to the female.
