lie TxE HERALD.

Ts TINE HERALp.
San Benito, March 1S.-In com
memoration of st. Patrick's Day
yesterday, the engineers of San
Benito were given a half holiday
by Chief Engineer Sam Robertson
who said: st. Patrick is the pa
tron saint of all hobo engineers. !"
Full advantage of the opportunity
was taken by the young men, who
procured wagons, lunches. ETC., and
together with a number of ladies
they departed for the Arroyo Color
ado for a picnic.
St. Patricks memory, as we all
know, is again brought before us
on that day by the display oil
Irish Green" and this the young
men had in abundance, the mules
and wagons being gaily decorated
A green pennant f1oated from the
engineers quarters all day.
At the arroyo open air games
were played by some, while others
fshed, the latter truly with the
patience of a Rip Van Wrinkle,
who, as Irving tells us, would sit
all day on wet rock with a rod as
long and heavy as Tartar's lance,
although he would not be encour-
aged by a single nibble." Swim
ming was enjoyed by a number of
the party.
St. Patrick would surely have
been pleased had he seen the way
that his day was reverenced.
The evening was an ideal moon
light one, and the party did not re-
turn until late hour.

For Improving Our Schools.

We are in receipt of a COM
munication this week from a
patron of our public school call
ing our attention to an improve
ment that could easily be made
and giving good reasons there
for. The improvement spoken
of is the addition of the eleventh
grade to the school for the COM
in term. eve might say the
18th grade could also be added. }
There are at present several
pupils of the local school who
have graduated from the tenth
grade and are ready to take up
higher work. In case the extra
grades are not added here these
students will be forced to go
elsewhere for schooling and per-
haps their parents will go with
them to be near them. This
means a loss to our town. Were
the change only for the benefit
of few it would not be policy
to make it, but with the large
number of children here who are
growing up and will be ready
each year for the niger grades
we can see no place where the
improvement would be a loss to
us.
The change might mean an in
crease in the salary of our prime
ipal or the employment of an
other, but in either case this
should not stand in the way as,
we understand, there is no short
age of funds in the school treas
ury.

Pumpkin Sugar In Iowa.

Sugar from pumpkins will be the
next source of wealth which will be
developed in Iowa, for the authorities
at the agricultural college declare high
grade sugar will be made from them
by a process even more simple than
that required to make 1t from beets,
Experiments have resulted in the pro.
duction of a species of pumpkin which
contains per cent of sugar, and 1t is
the prediction that in three years the
sugar element will be increased to II
per cent. This is equal to the quantity
of sugar found in the best variety of
sugar beet. Because pumpkins are cas-.
lily raised and a tonnage may be pro.
duced to the acre which will exceed
that of sugar beets the new sugar
pumpkin will open up a valuable field
for the Iowa farmers. The pumpkins
may be planted in the cornfelds, and
the same soil which will produce corn
may be made to produce a crop of
pumpkins at the same time.-American

ment we make in our school the
more prestige is given our town.
With good schools people will
come here to locate to take adj
vantage of them and many of
our farmers will move into town
during the winter in order to
take advantage of the schools.
1t is worth something also to
have our children here where we
can see after their welfare in
stead of sending them away to
school where they may be led in
to bad company.
We believe in building up our
schools to rank with the best in
the state and if our directors can
see their way clear to add any
higher grades next year we feel
sure they will have the hearty
support of all of the patrons of
the school.

IRRIGATION PRACTICE.
New Land Requires More Water
Than Cultivated Fields.


New Land Requires More Water
Than Cultivated Fields.
By SAMUEL FORTIER.
The subsoils Of western lands when
first brought under irrigation contain
little moisture The most striking char
acteristics of these formations are their
great depths and the close similarity
which exists between the surface and
subsurface layers. Apart from their
darker color, due to decayed vegetable
matter, there Is little to distinguish top
soils from bottom soils, and the roots
of plants extend to great depth through
the latter. On account of these pre-
vailing physical features large part
Of the water which is applied for the
first few seasons is absorbed. Cases
are common in which new land has alb
sorbed in one season a quantity of wa
ter which would have covered the sur
face to depth of six feet. To claim
that this large volume correctly repre-
sents the duty for such land is mis-
representation, because the open space
in the subsoil is gradually filled with
water and the ground water level in
time rises nearer the surface. 1t Is a
| fact, however, that new land requires
much more water per acre than old
cultivated fields, and crops are likely
/ to suffer If it is not supplied.
Good bitches and LateraIs.
/ Other conditions being similar, less
water will be used on farm which
has a good system of bitches and later
ais and well cultivated, even surface.
The beginner Is not always posted as
to the best way TO lay out and build
farm bitches, and he may not possess
sufficient means to properly prepare his
fields for irrigation. These defects in
variably prove quite costly in the end,
when measured in waste of water and
small yields. In an arid country thor
ough cultivation serves a double pur-
pose in that it increases the yield and
prevents the escape Of water into the
atmosphere. Grading or leveling the
surface Is even more important, since
1t is difficult to apply water to an I'M
even surface, the growth of the crop is
not uniform and the soil In the low
places is likely to be damaged by an
excess Of water.
Maturing Crops Under Irrigation.
The time necessary to mature plants
differs. Under favorable conditions a
crop of alfalfa can lie grown in less
than fifty days, a crop of barley In
something over a hundred days, while
it may require 100 days to ripen GER
tain varieties of fruit There Is not
only a difference in the period Of
growth, but In the number Of crops
| grown in one season.

Now that congress has failed
to repeal the timber and stone
act, Secretary Garfield of the in
terror department proposes to
put some restrictions on timber
and stone business. He has
discovered that $3.50 cents per
acre, the price at which nearly
all timber land has been purchas-
ed, is only the minimum price,
and he will hereafter require
purchasers to pay what the
land is worth. If he find land
to be worth 500 per acre he will
require that amount for it. This
is a good idea, but it would have
been much better if that dis
covery had been made before
the big corporations had gobbIed
up all the best timber at the
minimum price. Kooskia Mount

Are Taxes Here Too High?

We understand some of our
citizens are fighting the propos-
ed bond election and are using
the argument that the city taxes
will become entirely too high if
the bond is voted. We would
like to ask if it is the heavy tax
payers of the town who are do
ing the kicking, or only those
who perhaps pay cents in taxes
where others pay dollars yearly.
Again, have these dissatisfied
persons stopped to figure out
how much their taxes will be
increased each year if the bond
carries, or are they simply TAX
ing another's word that taxes
will be prohibitive. We feel
sure that those who take time to
investigate the matter will find
that the taxes arising from the
bond issue will be much lighter
than they suppose and really
nothing to be afraid of.
On the other hand, if our tax
es are becoming too heavy why
not stop paying them at all.
Why not tear up our sidewalks
and bridges, let our schools die
for want of support, throw over
the incorporation and go back to
the tough, disorderly condition
of seven years ago. How many
want to do it? At that time in
corporation was objected to be-
cause of the taxes it would in
cur, but how many citizens, we
ask, would be willing to go back
to the old state of affairs. We
venture to say, not one. And
yet, has the burden of taxation
been too heavy for any of us?
Rather, indeed, have we all not
prospered since then and sue
ceeded in building up one of the
best towns in this part of Idaho?
Why, then, should we be afraid
of a little extra tax. Does not
every improvement, whether
public or private, cost US some
thing either in money or labor?
We feel that our town cannot
take up too many improvements
of public nature. Every cent
we pay in taxes to support such
improvements is added to the
value of cur property so that we
are nothing loser in money and
are the gamer by having the
benefit of such public improve
ments.
If we hope to make a good
town here and keep our property
up to its full cash value we can
not afford to hesitate at a little
extra taxation when we have so
much at stake.
