INSPECTOR GRIFFIN
CATCHES SIX CHINKS

immigration Inspector Griffin
captured six Cinnamon in box
car on extra north bound freight
No. 1852 at this place Tuesday
and removed them to the jail to
await trial and deportation.
The car consisted of ore, ship
ped from Los Angeles and billed
to Brighton, Pa. The S. P. Los
Angeles seals had not been
broken, but the bottom clasps
had been removed from the door
and the Cinnamon slipped in,ap-
parently at Ell Paso, for they had
not eaten any of the supplies
which they carried with them.
1t would have been impossible,
the inspector says, for the China
men to have been put into the
car without the knowledge of
trainmen, unless the car was set
out in the yards at El Paso and
left there over night, for it
would have taken considerable
time to remove the fastenings
holding the door, put the China
men and rearrange things.
/ The Cinnamon had no certifi-
Gates and will have hearing
| here before the United States
commissioner and be deported.
i This is the second big capture
of Orientals within the past two
months, the other party having
been captured here while being
smuggled through in the same
, manner. Although the officials
have been more watchful than
ever before it is possible that
: other Cinnamon have been slip
: ped through in the same manner
and have never been discovered.
: The inspectors are on the
watch for white men who are
supposed to have given the ce-
lestials assistance, and if caught
: will be severely punished.

Last year my furrows were
made with the turning pillow,
four in each seventeen and a
half foot space between the trees
running east and west. After
irrigating the ridges were
thrown back as nearly level as
possible, with a light orchard
disc harrow, the land was imme-
diately narrowed north and
south with an Acme harrow and
cotton planted north and south,
three rows in each space.
Sweeps were used on tongue
less walking cultivator to culti-
vate the cotton and double
shovels in the tree rows. The
trees were also hoed. For sub
sequent irrigations furrows were
run between the cotton rows and
between cotton and trees with a
turnover with adjustable wings.
The ground was cultivated back
level after the irrigation. Ev-
erything was cultivated five
times, and after the fall rain in
1905 the double shovels were
sent down to the tree rows to
retain that moisture. There
we're three irrigations, the last
in August.

be necessary to harrow more
than once afterwards before
spring. Follow as nearly as
practicable the methods out
lined in Campbell's Soil Culture
"a book which should be read
by every irrigation farmer. The
soil packer has not been found
necessary in our locality. When
ever the surface begins to crust
or to run closely together, use
your harrow. If you have never
tried this method you will be
greatly surprised at the moist
condition of your soil in the
spring and to find how close to
the surface this moisture will
remain.
By preserving in this way the
moisture from fifteen inches of
snow and some rain, being the
equivalent of 4.31 inches of rain
in November and December,
1906, l was able during Jan. and
Feb, 1907, to plant sixty acres
of peaches without irrigation
upon land that had had no irri-
CATION or cultivation for two
years and to carry the trees
through safely until water could
be obtained in April, when cot
ton was planted between the
rows.
After fall blowing and pre-
serving winter moisture the land
should be irrigated in burrows if
possible and slowly enough to
insure that the moisture meets
at the tree roots and penetrates
five feet deep before the water
is cut off, or shortly after. II
your soil is never allowed to dry
out below your loosely cultfvat-
ed surface mulch before irrigat-
ing, and if irrigated in burrows
it will not require much water
to insure uniform moisture for a
good many feet in depth and il
will take the moisture far more
rapidly and there will be enough
dry surface dirt to absorb mois'
ture and allow you to begin cul'
tivation much sooner. This will
reduce less by evaporation and
give you greater and more last
ing benefit the same amount o1
water at each irrigation. Never
allow your ground to become
hard and dry before irrigating
if you can avoid it. Certainly
never allow it to become SO aftel

ing. Better not irrigate at al
than let the soil break after
wards.

CULTIVATION
AND IRRIGATION

The best use of water for irri-
CATION in arid regions in the last
analysis in community ques-
tion because upon it depends alb
solutely the final limits of their
agricultural and economic de-
velopment. Each locality must
work out the problem for itself,
for it varies so greatly with the
character of the soil and sub
soil, depth, the underground wa
ter, amount of surface slope,
climatic conditions including at
mospheric moisture, (aside from
rain, } dry winds, quantity and
season of annual rainfall, and
the kinds of crops raised, that
no hard and fast rules can be
laid down, which will apply to
all localities, or even in two sue
cessive seasons to the same To-
cality.
To be benefited by the exper-
fence of other it is, therefore,
necessary to know all the con-
ditions under which that expert
ence has been gained. The
writer's farming under irriga-
tion, covering fifteen years, has
been done in Eddy county, New
Mexico, altitude 3121, under a
system of open bitches, chiefly
upon sandy loan land, some
pure sand and some adobe, most
of it with slight fall and an
average depth of ten to twelve
feet to rock and water. He ha:
had unusual opportunity to
watch the operations of Others
under the largest irrigation sys-
tenn in the territory, now the
Carlsbad Project, United States
Reclamation Service.
He has learned that the proper
use of water for irrigation be-
gins with the conservation o.
the rainfall and under conditions
like his own which are common
to the greater portion of this
territory, this calls for fall plow

products tested. The Agricult-
ural Department at Washington
issues many very good bulletins
on farm products, methods OF
farming, best methods of tending
stock, etc. etc., which contain
many good suggestions and which
can be had by any one interested
in them, by asking for them.
The state experimental station
also issues many valuable bullet

those who procure them.
BY writing to Congressman
Pollard, or to either of our SEN
ators at Washington any bulletin
published by the government can
be had free of charge. Those

SECRETARY TAFT.

Public sentiment is rapidly
forming concerning the republi-
can candidates for the nomination
for president. With the excep-
tion of few counties where La
toilette has a conSiderab BILE follow
ing, it now looks as if William
II. Taft will receive nearly nine
tenths Of the vote of the state,
in the caucuses where ballots are
furnished for the expression of
presidential preferences. The
greeting given the secretary at
Kansas City, Monday evening,
by the fifteen thousand people
gathered there is evidence of his
great popularity.
Probably, with the exception
of the president himself, no other
American citizen has showed
such great executive ability as
the secretary. In the Panama
canal matter, in the Philippine
Island problem, and in many
other trying positions, he ha:
displayed a genius for the man
agement of public affairs which
commends him to all fairmindet
men. 1t is now too early to pre-
dict with certainty whom th
party will nominate for president
but with Taft as the republican
candidate, the public will have a
their command, a man to who's
, executive ability, not a democra

comparison. His public record
