Great Seed Farms of C. c. Morse g. Co

Great Seed Farms of c. C. Morse & Co.
One of the most important indus
tries of the famous Santa Clara valley
in California is that of growing gar
den and flower seeds. 1t is at once a
picturesque and fascinating business
and, owing to the reputation and high
quality of the seed produced, the in
dustry has grown to immense proper
lions and the seed grown here is
shipped to all parts of the world.
The largest seed growers are G. G.
Morse & Co., whose headquarters are
in San Francisco but whose farms are
near Gilroy and Newark, in the fertile
valleys, fifty miles south of San Fran
cisco. Here they personally operate
1000 acres in a great variety of gar
den and flower seeds, and their farms
at blossom time in May and June are
a dazzling sight.
Besides the farms they operate
themselves, they contract hundreds of
acres of peas and beans and other

tons trying to carry on extensive in
rigation work in the same district
there would be friction and a great
lessening of the efficiency of the ef-
forts of both. In fact, it was the
decision of Secretary Hitchcock, OF
the department of the interior, that
the government should not attempt to
do anything at all in the Yakima val
ley if it could not have absolute con-
troll. 1t was at this juncture that the
state of Washington interposed an OBJ
lection to the government assuming
full control. The state contended that
it was entitled to the selection OF
lands under the Carey arid land act,
and accordingly sent in list OF 3D.
5S4 acres of land in the Yakima valley,
which the state government wanted.
The state was in favor Of keeping the
government from securing the rights
and property of the Washington Irri-
cation Co., preferring to see the cor
poration act under the authority of the
state and be a party to the reclama-
ton of the states lands.
The secretary of the interior could
not look at the matter in the same
light. He was of the opinion that
the best interests of all concerned
would be subserved by having the
government secure absolute control OF
the lands. He laid down an ultimatum
that his department would either have
full control in the valley or keep out
altogether. In the latter case many
small holders of lands under the
Washington Irrigation Co.'s bitches
would be at the mercy of the corpora
ton and almost without redress should
they fail to secure sufficient water,
for any reason. When the states ap-
plication for lands under the Carey
act reached the secretary he gave 1t
a careful consideration, finally coming
to the conclusion that the application
should be rejected. In giving his
reasons for rejecting the states ap-
plication, he calls attention to the
fact the best interests of the whole
people will be looked after better
than if the federal government and
the state both were trying to do re-
clamation work in the valley. The de-
cision of the secretary to reject the
states application is final, there be-
ing no appeal open to the state.
AS indicated by Secretary Hitch
cock, the governments reclamation
service proposes, if given full oppor-
tunity in this valley, to reclaim, by
impounding the flood waters in GER
tain natural basins, much larger
area than would be possible by the
state under it's proposed scheme. The
governments engineers report that
this project is feasible, that sufficient
funds are available for it's accomplish
ment, and the reclamation service
gives assurance that the work will be
undertaken at an early date. This dis
poses of the matter that has been
hanging fire for SO long time, and the
people of the Yakima valley are to be
congratulated that they will soon be
able to carry on their irrigation work
under the auspices of the federal gov
eminent.

Government to Water Yakima Lands.
After a controversy lasting several
months between the state of Wash
ington and the department of the in
terror the way seems to have been
cleared for the federal government
to go ahead and purchase the lands
and works of the Washington Irriga-
ton Co., operating extensively in the
Yakima valley. This controversy was
started when the federal government
sent it's agents into the valley to in
vestigate as to the feasibility of sue
cessfully irrigating a large area of
land there. At about this time prop
osltion was submitted to the govern
ment by the Washington Irrigation
Co. for the latter to dispose of all it's
rights and holdings in the valley, so

Cork Solos,.

Nothing new under the sun. 1t Is
now an established fact that the Ro.
mans in classical times wore cork
soles in their shoes to protect their
feet from water, especially in winter.
AS high heels were not then intro
duced, the Roman ladies who wished
to appear taller than they were fash
toned by nature. put plenty of cork
under them. 1T remains to be demon
strated that the French women OF the
seventeenth century were short OF
stature, and to their desire to appear
tall must be credited the invention of
high heels. Once let Il stumpy little
bit of femininity get to wearing
French heels and feel much more than
her inches, and she will never depart
from them.-New York Press.
