Howard NOrmanS Irrigation
Plant

HOWARD NORMAN IS pressing
work on his big irrigation reser-
voir in the upper valley, as fast
as the amount of help he is able
to get permits. He now has in
place the regulation head gates
for his main bitches. These
gates are set in cement work
closing tight, and raise and lower
with screw device so that the
number of inches of water desir-
ed to pass through in a given
time may be controlledabso1ute1y
He has also installed an engine
for pumping the water into the
reservoir. The bottom is pud-
died and he is ready to close the
gap in the retaining wall where
the teams and workmen have had
ingress and egress during the
construction work. Mr.. Nor
man has invested considerable
sum of money on this b1ant, and
having previous knowledge of
irrigation work, especially in al
falfa growing, it is thoroughly
up to date and complete system
for accumulating, storing and
distributing the water from flow
ing wells to the crops. In fact
it is the first irrigation plant in
the valley. Heretofore the prac-
tice has been to punch hole
down to the artesian strata, then
allow the water to run into some
depression, when not being con-
Quoted direct from the well into
the irrigation bitches. The bal

wells for use when needed. It
also is intended to use during
open spells in the winter and 9TH

evaporation is light. This pro-
cess will have the advantage of
moisture in contact with the
mineral constituents of the soil
for such length of time as will
bring it into condition for use in
plant growth. We shall watch

A letter from Col. ID. E. Ballard,
who left the ranch for his home at
Washington, Kansas just ahead of
the late rain and snow says that
they had it worse there than we did
here. He reached home on the
last train in for 4 days, bridge be-
ing washed out that night. 1t was
much colder there as we'll as being a

A Leading Educators Opinion

/
In a recent interview Dean
Curtiss of the Iowa State college
expressed himself as follows on
the subject of the international
Live Stock Exposition, which is
to be held this year from Nov. u
to Dec. Is:
"The educational influence of
a great live stock show such as
the international cannot be fully
estimated. The success of the
international has been phenom-
enal. Each year it appeals to
wider constituency. 1t is truly
international in its scope. The
magnitude and excellence of it's
exhibits has been a marvel to
foreign visitors. No other show
on either continent brings to-
gether such an array of superior
breeding stock and prime ami
mails fit for the block as may be
seen at this show. This feature
is particularly interesting and In
structive. The block test fur
nishes the final proof of excel
lence and affords a standard to
measure the value of types and
breeds. This is the one great
contest where breeds meet in
competion after individual excel
1enCe has been measured within
the breeds.
ga feature of marked in terest
in this battle royal is the work of
the foreign judge, who annually
passes on the championship
classes. For this exacting task
the most competent judges of
Great Britain have been selected.
Sheep and swine measure
strength for supremacy in the
show ring and on the block. In
the carload classes, the competi-
ton is sequally as sharp, and here
again animal excellence is meas
ured by the practical standard of
market demands.
"Probably the keenest and
most inspiring battle of the show
is seen when the great draft
horses in harness, of all breeds
and of all countries, on the tan
bark, clad in the armor of peace
full though mighty warfare. 1t
is this final challenge of the best
of each breed, and of breed to
breed, in the form of an ultima
tum following the scrimmages
down the state fair circuits, that
gives an intense interest toInter-
national rings. The 1909 Inter-
national promises to be, in every
way, a fitting climax to show
season of unparalleled records"

PLAN TO REFOREST BURNED-OVER
AREAS IN THE OLYMPIC FOREST

service is planning to conduct a
series Of experiments TO determine
the proper methods of reforesting
the area. Douglas fir win be the spe-
cies used.
Some Places Must Be Cultivated.
II is believed that on the greater
part of the area simply scattering the
seed over the ground in the fall be-
fore the snow falls or in the early
spring will be sufficient to start a
new growth, On other portions Of
the area however, where n growth Of
grass and weeds has covered the
grounds. 1t win probably be necessary
to work the seed into the soil by rak-
ing or dragging the brush over the
ground In some localities sowing by
what is called the seed-spot method.
IN which several seeds are dropped
together in spots and covered with
soil, will probably be successful. To
test these various methods five ey-
perimenta plots have been selected
These represent the various condi-
tons found on the burn, such as diff
ference in slope, altitude, exposure
and vegetation.
This fall a large quantity of Doug
las fir seed Will be collected and
quantity sown on each plot Next
spring the experiments will be re-
peated and it is expected that the
results obtained win indicate what
methods and what seasons of the
year are best adapted to the condi-

meat inspector at St Louis. who In

against the meat inspection system
at theNnational stock yards in East
ST. Louis, ana ordered an ,nvestiga
ton relative to his allegations. An
immediate and thorough investlga-
tion concerning the charge of Mr..
Harms was today ordered and to
that end two government inspectors
have been ordered there When they
have completed their Investigations
the facts developed will be reported
to Secretary Wilson
The letter of Inspector Harms to
the secretary making the charges
and demanding an investigation has
been received. but the resignation
has not yet reached here. 1t was
stated. however, that It would be ac-
cepted Immediately upon it's rreipt.
DR.. Alonzo Melvin, chief of the bu-
reau of animal industry, under whose
supervision the meat inspection serv-
ice comes, will prepare a statement
today showing the conditions in the |

sewer, was collected and packed. and |
that doctors passed the mess as suit

An investigation as to the practi-

of forest lands which have been de-

is accomplished the forest service
will be in a position to commence
the reforestation Of the Soleduck

large areas each year.
1t is believed also that the results
obtained will be of value not only in
solving the problem of restocking the
