FARM NOTES

What happiness brother Van Ornam
must have experienced in that year of
30, while irrigating his fields with no
one to moleSt or make him afraid, No
human habitation, except the railroad
section houses, near him. No one to
"shut of" or turn down" water on
him. The whole Bob Creek canal at
his service. No man to use these
''ugly" words of "thief" or "liar. "
The man who has passed through
these l5 TO 20 years without accusing
or being accused of wrOng-dOing in
water division is too good for earth
and has probably been called ahov,
but, seriously, to my personal know
ledge, good men have been driven
away from Ordway because OF the
Scurriluu> talk OF one or two low
fellows, whose principal business in
whose life work has been to build up
a clean moral character. And then a
lie can travel 50 much faster than
truth, that there Is no alternative but
to move away. The world is too large
for him to remain and be nettled into
premature old age or insanity.
How much water did you waste
during this last precious rum Didn't
waste any-uot a drop got out OF my
field That may be true and still you
wasted water. 1t went down instead
OF Uti-and whenever water soaked
down one, two, yes, even i've feet in
spots. II WAS wasted. This can only
BE- avoided by more careful prepara-
tiun OF ground. In California | found
the bottom and sides ui many supply
lateral> ccmentcd and tue Fields We're
prepared aS carefully as lawn tennis
ground in Colorado. This was true
even In alfalfa fields: the old middle
burrows and back burrows were entire
ly ublIterlted, men worked over the
fields with hand graders after the
levels were through with, and every
was filled and every Knoll

water was turned 90, it spread a. on a
floor.
In Colorado the irriGatOr Is waiting
half Of his time for his head Of water
to wet up the high spots, forgetting
that all this time the water is running
the crop on the low spots, and will in
time ruin the land. When we get
down tu thorough intensive farming
and gardening our whole Ordway
country will change It's whole nature
and appearance. | mean by this in
tensiye alfalfa crops, intensive wheat
and oats aS well a. intensive garden
ing. This will require the breaking
up OF our adjoining ranches into 10.
70 and iO-aCre lots. with a man work
ing intensely on every > or 10 acres,
and this will also require a more con-
stant supply Of water-nOt more water
necessarily, but more frequent runs.
With our present water facilities kept
in good repair and under careful super
vision, there i no excuse for lack Of
water even the dryest seasons. Some
water should be in the canal all the
time during the planting and seeding
months Of Spring. II Lake Meredith
i filed in winter there is no need of
letting it Seep and evapOrate during
the hot season-use it up tlrst-say In
April and May. 1t could be again
dlled in June for August irrigation.
BY this means the dreaded "evapora-
ton talked about could be avoided.

RED HOT LIQUOR CAMPAIGNS

into the organic law of Alabama has
lcaused a serious split in the temper
lance forces. At the opening rally in
Montgomery, at which the movement
to fight constitutional prohibition
was launched, the chair was occupied
by a state senator who has for years
been recognized as leading temper
lance advocate, and all of the speak
Iers were men who were aligned with
the prohibition forces in the local op-
ton election a couple of years ago
when the saloons were driven out of
Birmingham. The cry has been rails
led that the prohibitionists are at
tempting to go too far, and the fact
that these former prohibitionists are
active in the movement against the
amendment leads to the belief that
the reaction has set in. Party lines
are being ignored entirely in the
struggle over the amendment. Men
prominent in the democratic and re-
publican parties are found on both
sides of the controversy, neither side
pausing to inquire as 10 the tariff
views or political leaning of the re-
cruits. On all sides evidence of di-
vision crops out, and no ties, po1;ti-
cal or religious, seem binding in the
face of the struggle now on.
Governor Denounced.
The campaign is being waged with
intense bitterness. Governor Conner
comes in for the worst abuse. He is
the owner Of several cotton mills in
which a large number of children are
and he is being savagely
assailed as having made a million |
dollars out of the labor of underraid |
child workers. A few months ago a !
convention of representative of all |
the southern states was held at New |
Orleans on the invitation of Governor |
Sanders of Louisiana to consider the |
adoption of unifom child Tabor laws |
and to put an end to the abuses said |
to exist in the cotton mills. Ala
bama was almost the only southern
state unTepTesented, Gov. Conner re-
fusing to- appoint delegates, on the /
ground that the child labcu laws of |
Alabama were satisfactory state |
ment which was challenged by the |
women OF the state

RATHER COMES TO TOWN.

Believed to Have Arrived in Savan-
nah in Bale of Cotton.
From the Savannah Morning News.
A lonely looking rattlesnake that
seemed to be subdued by the strange
surroundings was beheaded at the
Atlantic Coast Line cotton wharf yes
terday.
AS rattlers are very rare visitors
at the Coast Line docks it is believed
by some who have taken the trouble
to speculate on the question that Mr.
Rather got tangled up in cotton gin
back in the wiregrass and was
brought to Savannah in bale of cot
ton.
This theory seems to be strength
ened by the statement of Stephen R.
Harris, who has been agent OF the
wharf for twenty-five years. Mr.. Har-
ris says this is the first rattlesnake
he has ever seen about the premises
there. A casual search failed to dis
close the presence of a mate, though
if there is one hanging around the
longshoremen out there hope they
will see the reptile first
The RATHER was a little over three
feet long, and was thick of body. II
was a husky specimen, but appeared
to be little dopy. 1t wasn't given 8
chance to fight before a negro chopp-
ed it's head off with an axe.
