PRICES OF IRRIGATED LAND.
State of Iowa Sells 1868 Acres nj
Sl2,3S Per Acre.

Approximately two-thirds of the
states lands under the Grandview
canal were sold yesterday at the auc-
tion sale at the state house, the aver
age price received being $12.3S per
acre, says the Boise Statesman.
The land was appraised at SO and
$15 per acre, and about three-fourths
of that sold was disposed Of at the
appraised valuation. Eight tracts out
of 80 sold brought a premium above
the appraised value, ranging from 90
cents to IS per acre.
The total sales of the day amount
ed to 1854 acres, which aggregated
SIS, ,7OO.SC as the total amount to the
state. There were 536.71 acres sold
at an appraised valuation Of $40 per
acre, 411.59 acres that were appraised
at and brought SIS per acre, and the
balance brought various prices.
One tract Of 1880 acres, close to
the town of Grandview, was bid In
by j. b. Hawley Of Boise, at 500 per
acre. Another tract of 40 acres was
purchased by Mr.. Hawley for SIT. 1t
lies In the same section.
About 30 or 40 bidders were pres

Quoted by Register Mcconnell, of the
state land department. Seventeen of
them secured one or more tracts OF

purchase was made by Jess B. Haw-

The Burns Times-Herald reviews
AN important matter to all home-
seekers, as follows:
Several leading attorneys of Burns,
claiming to have the interests of Har-
ney valley at heart, have inaugurated
a movement to get settlers to locate
on land now segregated, under the
Carey act, for the Harvey Valley I'M
provement company. The tract con-
tains $4,000 acres of what is consid-
cred some of the best agricultural
land in the valley.
Under present conditions, settlers
have not shown any great willingness
to locate on the land. The supporters
of the new movement do not attribute
blame to the Harvey Valley Improve
ment company. That corporation,
they say, has received no contract
from state or federal government en-
titling it to go ahead with reclama-
ton work. But the attorneys behind
the movement say they can have the
land restored to entry If a sufficient
number of settlers will go on the
land and commence farming it. Such
action would entail, it is claimed, but
little expense to the settler, and the
implication is that the settler would
be entitled to "sQuatters" rights If
the land were again officially thrown
open to entry.
The development of Harney valley
in recent years has proven to the sat
isfaction of settlers here that there is
but little desert land in the valley,
and that, therefore, there is some
doubt as to whether the Carey act
was intended to apply to such land
as is found here. Abundant crops of
grain of the highest quality were pro-
duced last year on so-called "dry"
sagebrush land.
On account of the difficulties in
the way of the Harney Valley I'm
provement company. it is claimed, it
will be several years before this land
can be reclaimed, If the proposed
method OF settling it fails 1t is the
supposed design Of the Harney VAL
ley Improvement Company to get
water for its improvement from Sill
vies river. II it attempts to do so it
will have to fight settlers living along
that waterway, and also the Pacific
Livestock company, II they maintain
their attitude toward such an enter
prise. The Pacific people own thous-
ands of acres of the best hay land in
the valley. An action in the courts
would probably require years to set
tie.
Many people are here looking for
land, and from indications this will
be the banner year for immigration
in Harvey valley.

potassium sulphide in two or three
gallons of water.
For leaf spot, use three pounds of
copper sulphate (bfue vitrioD, three
pounds OF lime (unslaked) and so
gallons of water. Dissolve the copper
in hot or cold water. Use a wooden
or earthen vessel. Stake the lime in
a tub, adding water cautiously and
only in sufficient amount to insure
thorough shaking.
After thoroughly shaking more
water can be added and stirred in
until 1t has the consistency of thick
cream. When both are cold, pour
the lime into the diluted copper solu-
tion of required strength, straining 1t
through a fine-mesh sieve or gunny
cloth, and thoroughly mix. 1t is then
ready for use. Care should be taken
that the lime is OF good quality and
we'll burned and has not been air
saked.
Chewing and biting insects can be
destroyed by a spray composed of
four ounces of arsenate OF soda and
IL ounces of acetate of lead. Dissolve
in water in separate buckets, pour to-
gether, and you have sufficient arse
nate of lead for so gallons of water.
Then pour the arsenate into the water
and stir well. This is also a splendid
spray for the destructive Goblin moth.
For scale use a spray consisting of
15 pounds of unslaked lime. is
pounds of flour of sulphur, and so
gallons of water. Slake lime in
enough water to do it thoroughly and
add the sulphur. Boil for half an
hour at least, adding water If neces-

In regard to what was done near
Loveland, in northern Colorado. A

now there are six factories within

farmers raised 100000 tons of beets."
