WILL TURN WATER
IN CANALS MONDAY
Entire Tract to Have Water
For First Time.
Second Largest Carey Tract and One
of Finest Irrigated Bodies Of Land
in the State Population Of
Tract Will Soon Double.

Water is to be turned into the Ameri-
can Falls Canal company's system to-
day, and for the first time will be avail
able for all parts Of the tract. Some
few laterals may have to be constructed
and few headgates installed, but prac-
tically the entire tract will be under
water. This is the best piece of news
the Press has given the public for many
days. Fully third Of the tract has
had no water at all up 70 the present,
and but little Of it has had water in sea-
son. Last year water was delivered
about July 1 TO a large part of the
tract, too late to be OF much benefit.
Farmers expecting water. seeded later
than they would have had not ample
water been expected. Dry farmers on
land paralleling the canal, and few
under the canal who seeded early, had
magnificent yields. The greater part
OF the farmers, however, got their
crops in too late to benefit oy ,the
spring rains and secured only half crops
or less. Last fall the main canal and
the large lateraLs were completed, SO
that water viii flow past American
Falls and discharge into the river sew
eraI miles below town. Many tracts of
land which have not been settled upon
will be improved and the population of
the tract will about double Fields of
grain viii replace long stretches Of
sagebrush, and development, which is
now greater than AZ any time during
the history Of the tract, win be greatly
increased.
The segregation includes about s., 600
acres, and a body Of homestead land
about half as large, that was taken be-
fore the segregation was made. Out
side Of the Twin Falls company it is the
largest Carey tract in the state. The
soil is as fine and productive as any,
and will speedily become very valuable.
No other part of the state offers such
advantages for investments in irrigated
lands, both improved and unimproved,
as may be found here at present

Commercial Club Holds Interesting
Meeting Tuesday Night.

The hveliest sesson of the Commercial
club in many months was held Tuesday
evening. The committee appointed to
raise funds for the Southern Idaho

propaganda at Seattle reported 1920
subscribed. The committee. DIR. j. F.
Nee, w. l. Norton and J. B. Brokaw,
has performed its duty betterth any
former committee appointed by the
club, and did so on short notice. The
committee was continued. 1t will re-
quire $500 or more to properly conduct
the advertising campaign which has
been mapped out.
Several advertising schemes were
suggested and discussed, among them
being the running Of excursions to
American Falls from the east. The
excursion idea was favorably considered
and viii probably be put into effect
during September and October.
W. /. Norton and Geo. r. Duncan
were appointed to inquire into the mat
ter of establishing a ferry across the
river just above town in order to avoid
the sand on the Aberdeen road. Par
ties have the ferry proposition under
consideration, it being considered the
best and cheapest method Of getting
rid Of the sand, and it is the purpose of
the club to lend whatever assistance
necessary.
The executive committee was author
lied to make a loan Of about $500 to
pay off the Indebtedness Of the club.
The Power County committee made
a report and was continued in power to
complete its collections. To raise
money an assessment Of IS per capita
was levied. Out Of a membership of
about forty, only seventeen have paid.
Some Of the members Of the committee
neglected their duties, making no effort
to collect from the members assigned
to them.
H. A Lang and Geo. R. Duncan were
elected to membership.

EXCITING BASKET BALL.
Blacks Garry Away Honors of Two
Games in One Evening.

The Blacks proved their right to be
called champions Of basket ball at the
double contest arranged for Wednes-
day evening. They first vanquished
the Blues by a score of Is TO 6, and
after a ten minute rest beat the Ma
rooms Is to y. Their victory was one
of head-work. Their team work was
superior to either Of the competing
teams, and they had possession of the
ball most of the time in both games.
Mrs. Rowberry, OF the Blues, always
cool and self-possessed, impressed many
as being the best player of either
team. Few balls passei in her direc-
ton that she did not secure. If she
would exercise care in throws to for
ward results may be different, in future
games. Mrs. Coen, Mrs. Hager and
Mrs. Moth played well, and with little
more practice and better team work
they will keep either team busy.
The Blacks have four strong players,
Jean Machines, Gelene White, Alice
Oliver and Lorene Barnhart These are
strong in team work and kept the ball
passing between each other much of the
time during both games.
The Maroons have several good play
ers, but their team work was bad.
They are little light for the Blacks,
and suffer in height somewhat. They
are probably better balanced, however.
than either of the other teams. Marion
Rowberry is the best ball tosser of
either of the teams, has a cool head,
and should practice long throws for the
basket. While having more good play
ers, probably, than either of the other
teams, they are not heavy enough for
the stalwart Blacks in a scrimmages.
1t is toss-up, however, between these
teams as to which is entitled TO the
honors. Each has won a game, the
score being Is to u in each game.
There was quite large attendance
and the game was thoroughly enjoyed
Future games viii be anxiously awaited.

food one can eat.
This great food value and low cost
make 1t an ideal food for families who
want to get the greatest good from
what they eat.
Laborers, factory or farm hands, fed
plentifully on Quaker Oats will work
better and with less fatigue than If
fed on almost any other kind of food.
All of these facts were proved and
very interesting information about
human foods were gathered by Pro-
fessor Fisher of Yale University in
1908. In addition to the regular pack
age Quaker Oats is packed in large
sized family packages either with or
without china dishes. s

Bindweed can be eradicated by
clean cultivation If thorough and per-
sistent. The case requires going over
the land once every week or ten days
during the entire growing season OF
the weed, which is between the spring
and fall frosts. Two years of this
treatment will accomplish the result
In most cases, and it is probable that
one year will suffice where the plant
does not root too deeply. The diff
Guilty is that many farmers will not
cultivate as thoroughly as is neces'
sary. Even a small top growth Is
enough to form some new under
ground growth and rejuvenate the old
roots or root stocks, thereby carry
ing the plant over to the next season.
Cultivation has the further advantage
of inducing rapid termination of all

have given satisfactory results, name
ly, clean cultivation, alfalfa growing
and hog pasturing. There are other
methods that have been tried, but not
with a large measure of success.
These include the placing Of building
paper, beet pulp, apple pomace, straw
or manure on the ground to smother
the weed growth, and also the appli-
cation of chemicals. Conditions in r.

fact that bindweed is often allowed

PROFITS In
BASKET WILLOW
American Soil Well Adapted to
Tree and Wide Opportunities
for Articles Made from II
BY w. F. Hubbard.

Willow growing gives an uncom-
monty high margin of profit. A large
demand for willow is now supplied by
import, and as American-grown rods
are of good quality when proper care
is taken in their culture there is no
reason why the further development
of the industry should not be possible
If more American farmers can be con-
vinced of its practicability.
OF late years willow furniture has
sprung into fashion and to-day no
minor industry is more prosperous
than that devoted to its supply. The
wages are good and the manufacturers
demand a steady supply of superior
willow.
This is now almost entirely received
from France at price which will give
the entire trade to the American If he
can equal the quality.
Great care should be taken In the
selection of the willow beds. Rich, per-
manently moist sandy loan gives best
returns, though ordinary moist sandy
land often yields profitable crops of
willows.
Poor soils produce paying crops
where there is a market for short
Nods. Avoid land on which water Is
stagnant during the summer II by
drainage the water level on such land
can be lowered at least six feet be-
low the surface the situation may be
considered appropriate.
Do not plant willows in localities
where early frosts occur. The tender
shoots are easily injured by the
cold,
Pillow ten or twelve inches deep in
the fall, prior to planting the follow
ing spring. This turns the top layer
of the soil so deep that weed seeds
cannot spring up.
II rain is insufficient, irrigate the will
low bed II possible, but thorough
drainage must be provided, as water
must not stand on the surface. 1t is
best also to keep the land well
drained during the winter.
Returns depend very largely upon
the method of culture, but more upon
the variety of the willow planted, be-
cause the shoots of even the best va
rieties and in the most suitable soil
grow brittle after the stools become
old.

The only successful methods for the
eradication of bindweed must be based
on the suppression of all top growth,
in order to starve out the underground
parts. A great many farmers are look
ing for some easy method of killing
the bindweed, and in the meantime are
letting IL cover the fields and festoon
the trees of the orchard. They are
looking for some magic remedy" that
will completely eradicate the weed
with a small amount of exertion on
their part. 1t must be understood that
such formidable enemy as this weed
requires heroic treatment. Other farm
ers have gone at the problem less
heedlessly, as in the case of a man
who followed the root of plant to the
depth of four feet and then applied
a large quantity of salt in the hole.
Various methods have been tried
to keep down the top growth, and

SNAKE MASTER OF A SHIP
Peruviana and the Crew
Run.

Philadelphia, Pa.-Where a big
snake came from which made its ap-
pearance in the pantry of the British
steamship Peruviana as the vessel
came up the Delaware river puzzled
Capt. Jones, master of the Peruviana,
and all the others on board. The crew
say that kissing sounds had been
heard in the vessels hold all of the
way across the Atlantic, but no one
could be induced to go below and in
vestigate.
The first tangible evidence that
there was a menagerie below was Sc
cured when the snake appeared in
the galley and wanted things his own
way. The steward did not think
there was any reason for having two
bosses in the culinary department and
killed the snake. The Peruviana came
here from Lulea, where snakes are
uncommon.
