an alarming rate. In the south cotton

when an all-grain type of farming was
followed that there was annually remov-

A very good formula to use for corn
and cotton on heavy clay land would be
the following: Mix together $40 pounds of
high grade cotton seed meal, 1000 pounds
Of acid phosphate and $50 pounds of mu-
riate of potash. This mixture would con-
tain approximately 29 per cent of nitro
gen, s.s per cent of phosphoric acid and
as per cent of potash, and when used at
the rate of 800 to 500 pounds per acre
should answer very well on the type OF
soil to which you wish to apply it. Heavy
red clay soil is usually we'll supplied with
potash, and hence the use OF a large
amount has not been suggested. That a
large amount is not needed is further
evinced by the fact that your cotton does
not rust readily in this soil. OF course,
you know that potash aids in the control
Of rust, which we can hardly class as
a disease, but rather due to a rundown
and exhausted condition OF the soil.

How a Reliable Engine
Economies Labor

The engines are simple In de-
sign so that they can be easily
understood.
They are strong and durable
constructed with a large factor of
safety, inasmuch as they have
greater strength than would
ordinarily be required. Yet they
are not clumsy or too heavy.
All parts are accessible and
easily removed and reassembled.
Every engine will develop a large
per cent of power in excess of its
rating-you get more power than
you pay for.
They are absolutely reliable
you cannot find one inefficient
detail. They are unusually eco
nomical in fuel consumption
less than pint of gasoline per
horse power per hour. This
means that a 2-horse power en-
CINE will produce full 2-horse
power for five hours on only one
gallon of gasoline.
Would it not be a wise plan for
you to investigate and learn how
an l. H. G. engine will save time
and Tighten the labor on your
farm?
international local agents will
supply you with catalogs. Call
on them for particulars, or write

farmers, want to economic
your time.
Think in how many places a
power would be a help to you
would save time and work-if you
had it in a handy form ready for
use in a minute.
Think how much hard work It
would save you in cutting feed
in saving wood, posts or poles
in running the cream separator
or churn-in operating shop or
other machinery.
The l. H. c. gasoline engine
is a power that is always ready
at your hand. 1t is not neces-
sarily stationary, like the wind
mill, and on that account adapted
10 doing only one kind of work.
The engine is built in many
styles-there are portable engines
on trucks and skidded engines
which can be moved wherever
the work is to be done. Then
there are stationary engines, both
vertical and horizontal, in sizes
from l to 25-horse- power, air
cooled and water cooled, and
also gasoline traction engines
II, Is and 20-horse-power. Be-
sides, there are special saving,
spraying and pumping outfits from
which you can select.

A very good plan for you to follow
would be to mix LOO pounds of we'll
rotted farmyard manure with $50 pounds
of acid phosphate ana 80 pounds of muri-
ate of potash. ton of this mixture
would contain about 1912 pounds Of nitro
gen, As pounds of phosphoric acid and
35.2 pounds of potash. Its composition
would be about 81 per cent of nitrogen.
225 per cent of phosphoric acid and 1.76
per cent of potash. A ton of this mixture
would be equivalent in content of nitro
gen and phosphoric acid to 600 pounds
OF a 2-S-2 fertilizer, and would contain
nearly as much potash as ton OF this
grade of material You should use at
least a ton of this mixture per acre.
Then if you find after the crop is well
I'D that Il does not seem to be making
as much growth as is desirable, you
might top-dress with about 70 pounds of
nitrate of soda per acre; this to be ap-
piled alongside the drill row, but not in
contact with the plants. 1t should also
be put on after a rain, as the nitrogen
il contains is in readily available form
and might be washed away BEFORE the
plants could utilize 1t.

Preparing Compost on the Farm

M. X. O., Leo, Ca, writes: I have
about 10 acres OF creek bottom land that
is a little bit sandy. wish to make a
fertilizer, using stable manure as a body.
How much nitrogen, acid and potash must
use with 1t. How much of this should
be used per acre. 1 also have about IS
acres of uplands. The soil is gray with a
stiff red clay subsoil. Do you think il
will pay me to pillow deeply so the clay
will come to the top, or to use a middle
buster so as to leave the clay in the bot
tom of the furrow. I have used a u.s.
and an s-4 fertilizer on the same land
with the same cultivation, and the former
gave much better results.

since trip he made over the water
shed some years ago. At that time
il had been closely pastured, and
there had been number of dry years.
Now the pasturage has been restrict
ed by wise forest reservation laws,
the hills are covered with much more
vegetation than formerly. the flood
wash has been materially lessened
and altogether the watershed not only
looks better itself. but is a more de-
pendable source Of supply than for
merly.
Speaking Of Sacaton he said the
wells there seem To be all that was
expected, and he has no doubt a con-
siderable area can be irrigated very
successfully. The Indians themselves,
contrary to the predictions of many
are much enthused over the prospect
of water. They are natural irrigatOrs

further back than memory runs. and

intimated in the course of his re-
marks, that to do this successfully,
the large land owners should not
seek to elevate the price Of lands too
rapidly The small farmer can only
be induced to come by having II
shown to him that the move will he

titled to a part of the unearned in
crement in value as well as are the
older land owners who have already
been greatly benefited. 1t is true
that the lands are so fertile under
thorough irrigation that they will re-
turn good interest on a high Valua-
ton. but mere interest can be made
in many good investments. and If the
valley is to be settled up quickly. a
little of the speculative profit should
be left for those who are to buy last
and ray the larger price. Mr. Newell
said that nothing on his trip had
pleased him more than the improved
appearance of the mountain ranges

RAPID PROGRESS OF
CONSTRUCTION WORK
Mr.. Newell Indicates That the Dam
Will Be Finished Before the People
Arc Ready For 1t. If They Do Not
Be5tir Themselves.

+. II. Newell, director Of the recla
nation service, returned from Roose-
welt yesterday. together with En-
gineer L. c. Hill and President B. A.
Fowler, of the Water Users associa-
ton, who had accompanied him on
his inspection trip both there and to
Sacaton. Last evening the three gen
tlemen were guests of Dwight Il.
Heard at dinner at the latter's Cen
trail avenue home.
Speaking of the progress of the
Salt river project. and of the impress
sions received during his inspection
trip, Mr.. Newell said ne was much
gratified with what he had seen. The
work is now moving rapidly Hrd well,
and the finish may begin to be count
ed upon. Contractor O'Rourke is be-
ginning to consider plans for moving
out n year later. The construction
work is climbing up at the rate Of
approximately fifteen feet per month,
the transmission line to Phoenix is
practically completed and the lin. to
Sacaton will be in a few weeks. The
problems of construction will soon be
entirely overcome, and the less i'm
posing. but equally as importaneprob-
lens of maintenance and operation
now confront the service.
Ii has been the history of every
big project of a similar nature. says
Mr.. Newell. that when it is finally
completed the people are not quite
ready for it; have not compile d fully
with conditions, and there is conse-
quent delay. The long period of con-
struction work that moves slowly at
first, accustoms the people to delay.
and when at the last and things be-
gin to hum. it is finished before the
community is hardly aware of il.
The building Of this great reservoir
and irrigation system is designed to
be a practical thing. a money making
investment eventually. During the
construction period. when the gov
eminent is spending money right and
left. everything moves nicely and all
are contented. but he would have the
people reminded that there must come
day of reckoning. This money has
all got to come back again. and he
hopes the people will be ready to do
their part in beginning promptly the
return of the money as soon as the
government finishes it's work.
To that end the people of the valley
should encourage immigration. bring
