Work TO Begin on West Canal

The committee composed of Messrs
Fairlamb, Young and Barnes, ap-
pointed by the board of directors of
the Water Users Association to ar
range for beginning work on the west
canal, held a conference with Con-
sulting Engineer. l. w. Mcconnell
and Supervising Engineer Pease, of
the Reclamation service Friday after
noon with the result that in all prob
ability dirt will begin to fly on the big
west canal by April first.
The Reclamation service will make
the necessary estimates as to the cost
of the canal placing a maximum limit
on the amount to be expended on the
west canal project. After this is done
the work will be let in a number of
contracts and as soon as the first con-
tract is let and the engineers have
placed the stakes, etc. actual work
will be ready to begin. This prelim-
mary work: can be done in a short
time and it is safe to say that the
shovel and pick will be in active use in
the course Of from ten to thirty days.
The committee recommended the
issuance Of 500, 600 in scrip in de-
nominations of $50. $40 and less than
$40. One fourth of the amount in
$50 certificates. one half in $40 Ger
tificates and the other fourth In
blank certificates to be filed in with
amounts less than $40.
The recommendations of the COM
mittee it is believed will be promptly
carried out. This will be welcome
news to those whose land will be wat
cred from the west canal and will be
especially welcomed by the homestead
ers as this will give them an oppor-
tunity to help along the project them
selves and help them to pay for their
water at the time when they have
nothing else to do.
In fact the beginning of the west
canal will be a very important event
in the history of the valley as it
will be very important factor in the
Uncompahgre valley irrigation pro-

In addition to these circulars we print

Pretty slick work, wasn't it. But,
then, nothing is too good for customers
of our job department if it takes every

Raw Furs-PrOfits for Country
Boys.

This is the time of the year when
the average country boy not only gets
a great amount of sport and pleasure
out of fur trapping, but considerable
profit and pocket money. Raw Furs
in recent years have brought remark
ably good prices. Fashion has ordain-
ed that every lady must wear furs.
consequently the demand has increas-
ed. Prices of Furs are higher than
they were last season NJ. Sabel g.
Sons, Louisville, KY, make a special
ty of Raw Furs, and a visit to their
fur rooms is an interesting sight, for
here can be found furs from every sec
ton of the United States. They re-
ceive shipments from all over the
country in answer to their weekly
price list, which they issue every Fri
day. This price list is furnished the
shipper upon application.

ALFALFA POINTERS.
The Best Way TO Prepare the Field
and to Sow the Seed

The best way TO get an alfalfa stand
is to begin a year ahead and manure
heavily, grow cultivated crop and
keep it clean Any old clay side bill
that washes badly when cultivated, can
in This way be put in shape to seed to
alfalfa. Hay from these fields if fed
at home will help enrich the rest of
the farm. Those fields that grew the
cultivated crop and were kept clean,
lan be either plowed or disced well be-
fore seeding. Using land that has
been well manured we would put as
the keynote of success.
If the alfalfa could be drilled ~ at a
uniform depth. not deep, but so all the
seed would be covered, says n writer
in the Wisconsin Agriculturist, it
seems to me that there would be a
great saving in amount of seed used.
We have never tried this.
If the alfalfa is seeded in grain. seed
the grain light and it can be allowed
to ripen as a grain crop. Where the
soil is light and subject to drought we
would recommend seeding alone, about
the time you would seed oats. BE sure
and get the seed on even, as an alfalfa
stand is to be left for years, and one
cannot afford to have 2n uneven stand.
Some use a wheelbarrow sceder and
seed both ways.

FARM NOTES.

How are the farm implements? Any
of them need repairs before the
springs work begins?
Oil up the work harness now while
you have time. 1t will pay.
Don't plant poor, weak seed corn
next spring. 1t is time and money
thrown away. There is plenty of good,
strong seed to be had.
Don't have lot If manure lying in
the yards all summer. 1t will lose Just
about half of its value by fall
Do you follow crop rotation on your
farm? It's the only way to properly
manage a farm for best results in pro.
ducing big crops and maintaining the
fertility.
When a field is selected for growing
timothy it sho'ud be plowed early in
the summer and worked thoroughly
until about the middle of August, when
It should be seeded with timothy and
about coo pounds of acid fertilizer and
100 pounds of shphate of potash
drilled into the soil three inches deep.
