While the writer has been living in
Colorado for the past thirty-hve years
and given close application and study
to it, he still feels that he is only a
student In the profession, and We find
there is yet much to be learned upon
the subject.
There Is another important feature
to be considered In the future, and
that IL the method of building canals.
As the water costs more from time to
time. the land will likewise increase,
hence 1t will be necessary to have the
water to reach the maximum results.
This can be done in many places by
piping to prevent leakage. and would
reduce the maintenance OF the canal
to a minimum and prevent the need of
drainage in after years.
While we need and must have water
on our land. We also need instructions
for applying it. We need education
along this line, and lots of it. and we
need to know that water is not the
only requirement to make a success.
II many of our farmers and orchard

and used less. and the surplus was

WATER Waste
IN COLORADO

J. F. Myser, the we'll known pear
blight expert and horticultural OF
Rifle, has written an article for the
Rocky Mountain News condemning
the criminal waste Of water" which
he declares IL now going on in Colo

His article IL as follows:
To the Rocky Mountain News:
Since the invitation has been ex-
tended by your valuable paper for re-
plies to Mr.. McConnells article on ir-
rigation l desire to make a few re-
marks. not SO much in answer to his
article as for the purpose of describ-
ing the proper use OF water after we
get 1t. 1t Is, OF course. an admitted
fact that the water makes the value
OF nearly all land in Colorado, but II
rs Just as valuable for the owner TO
know how and when to use the water
as it Is to have 1t. While we are i'm
proving each year in agriculture and
horticulture. there is nothing SO i'm
portant connected with these indus
tries as the judicious application OF
water to the land.
In years past little or no attention
has been given to the amount OF water
used, most OF the people thinking that
as the water was the thing needed
the more the better, and in conse-
Quence much more crops have been
ruined from too much water than toe
little. This Is not all. The land has
also been seriously damaged. and in
many instances ruined. This is shown
from the fact that millions OF dollars
are and will be spent in the reclama-
ton of land drainage through care
lessness. ignorance, greed. etc The
state laws have reduced the quantity
OF water from time to time until we
are now allowed practically three
quarters OF a miners inch to the
acre Did you ever stop 10 figure what
a volume Of water this Is? One-fourth
OF an inch to the acre for the irri-
CATION season of four months means
sixteen inches OF water In depth over
every acre OF your land. while We are
allowed forty-eight inches under the
state law. Think OF this reckless and
useless waste OF water. OF course.
some land needs more water than
other land for several reasons. but
the amount OF water Is not 20 import

 When John L. met Jim Corbett in their noted bout at New Orleans in 1892 1t was on the challenge of Sulli- van, who then was champion.

 John L. met his downfall on this oc- casion. But the spirit he showed is one of the points which endeared him to the American followers of the ring. His trip around the country whom he met all comer8 was one of the most re- markable performances ever pulled off by any boxer and hc never sustained defeat in all the hard bouts he encoun- tered.
 He met many a big, tough fellow in places where mining or smelting was and where his opponents had plenty of physical strength. But he never was seriously worried by any of them, all though some managed to stay the three or four rounds to which the bouts were limited.

MARQUARD WILL BE
 A GIANT MAINSTAY

The performance of Rube MarQuard in an exhibition game at Waco was the first real sample the Giants had of this left handlers ability. Marquard. under orders, pitched nine innings, and while 1t is true that he was not facing pro- fessionals, he showed that he has ev- erything predicted.
 Whenever he cut loose with speed and curves he had his opponents help less. and even while taking things easy he had no trouble striking out four teen men.
 Manager Mcaraw intends to keep Marquard in full game at least twice a week. which means that he will be in perfect condition to take his regu- lar turn in the box with Matthew so D and Raymond when the season opens.
 Another pitcher that McGraw is gtv- ing much attention to just now is Loon Ames. The latter came very strong last season. He seems to have over come his one fault-wildness Robin son and Schiel are working wonders with him. They have got him so that he can find the plate every time he hurls the ball IL Is very important that Ames should be ready to jump in and give good service from the start. as 1t looks now as if Wiltse is serious about holding out until the club gives him what he asks for. With Ames good and fit the Giants could start on with four good pitchers
