Boston Lawyer Annoyed Coun
try Singing Teacher.

An apparently harmless Incl
dent at the annual concert in the
Town Hall at Mason's 8 Corner has
upset the whole social life of the
village. 1t is all on account of a
city chap, by the name of
Quincy Adams Sawyer whistling
tune. Mr.. Sawyer has been
boarding at Deacon Mason's for
several weeks, and intends stay
ing until he recovers his health.
This annual concert is the
event of the year, and Obadiah
Strout, the master ofceremonies,
who is looked upon as sort of
Pooh Bah in the village, objected
to have his plans interferred
with by "dude" from Boston.
Everything had gone along nice
ly at the concert until Mr.. Saw
yer kindly offered his service to
offset a disappointment, but Mr.
Strout refused fatty to have any
"foreign talent. Z" Cries of ego
ahead" came from all over the
hall. After five or six encores,
lawyer Sawyer whistled "Listen

capital piece of work, and the

late Engineering Records covering
this point.
The use of heavy crude oil on
bitches and reservoirs. as it is used
on the roads of California, has been
spoken of as the means of saving
much water. / have tried to find If
it has ever been used in this way and
If this could be don successfully,
the cost would be much less than
concrete, and would be the ean of
saving much water from seepage. 1t
would also prevent grass and weed
growth. The use of concrete on
bitches and reservoirs cannot be too
highly recommended. The trouble
lies in the cost.
The size of reservoirs should be
limited to the size OF the well, SO the
reservoirs will not hold more than
eighteen hours run of the we'll. All
over this size allows for increased
loss Of water by evaporation-which
in summer is much greater than most
| people realize-besides there being a
| greater seepage, as reservoirs are
| built today. There are reservoirs that
would take weeks for the wells to
fill if there were no seepage.
This summer ] ave known of peo-
| pie allowing their wells to run into
their reservoirs some weeks without
getting enough water to use-the
evaporation and seepage equaling the
supply. This is wrong. The seepage
of some reservoirs is running the
owners OF neighbors' farms, besides
taking water that is needed for pro-
per irrigation.
We should have Legislation regu-
lating h size of reservoirs n max
ing 1t obligatory that they be kept
from leaking.
AS n of the helps in protecting
our water, the suggestion has been
made that we nave laws prohibiting
the wells being run between sunset
and sunrise. The wells would be
stronger during the day and the am
mi of water would supply more
wells. However, a large part of the
water used from the wells for irrigat-
ing in Chaves county is used from
reservoirs which collect the water
during the night to be used with that

in Eddy county the most of the water
is used directly from the wells.
When the water is run directly
from the wells, such a law would be
a good one, unless a man stayed with
the water during the night.

In this valley, we now need to do
all we a to use the water to the
best possible advantage and to en-
ploy every available meal of stop

lowed for stock should be limited.
When the wells are shut off, there is
nc waste of water, if they are prop

are not properly cased, there is
waste below the surface of the
ground, n when not properly cap

fore people cannot be too careful in
having their wells properly drilled,
using only h very best of materials.
The best of care should be given the
bitches, because If they are allowed
to become grassy, the grass and
weeds retard the flow of water and
increase the seepage.

Better be sure of the water we now
have than to see the amount dimin-

tain sections, if people on h lower
lands keep drawing off this water
more and more by putting down more
wells and using more water.

money in the farm and is then de
prived of. his water because other
farms lower down are having wells
drilled on them, which takes away
the pressure from this mans well,
what is to be done?
Some n may say, let him pump.
We must remember that the amount
taken out-whether by the wells
flowing or by pumping-when in ex-
cess of the amount coming in, lowers
the pressures. So the lack of pressure
in pumping is an important factor.
In the past year we have seen well
p~ressures go from a maximum of IS
pounds to a minimum of 81 pounds
and back to SIS pounds. We have seen
wells go from a maximum pressure
of ION to a minimum pressure of BIB.
We have seen wells 90 from a flow
