IRRIGATION IN INFANCY
INTENSIVE FARMING Is BECON-
ING SLOGAN OF PRACTICAL
IRRIGATORS IN IDAHO.
New Conditions Have Been Met and
Problems Solved, So That Pros

Now Assured In This State.

1t takes a brave man or woman to
go against a United States govern
ment report and read and digest the
matter contained therein The ma
joriiy Of the governmet reports make
dry reading even those referring to
cry farming Taken in homeopathic
doses however, they are not so bad.
T., speaking of the future develop
ment of irrigation farming in Idaho,
Che state engineer says:
1t might appear from a cursory ex-
animation Of the present situation
relative to irrigated lands that the
hell ha1 been practically developed
Iris, however is not the case in
Idaho In fact, it may truthfully be
said that irrigation here is in in it's
infancy This for two reasons: C)
Hundreds of thousands of acres are
now unirrieated which win eventual

improvement in methods, both i'm the
matter of conserving water and in
more scientific handling of the soil,

dual acre viii be geratly increased.
Intensive farming is rapidly be-
coming the slogan of practical irri-
gators, who to the effective carrying
out of this idea must be brought all
the experience and scientific research
of those who make a special study of
the problems demanding solution
Now, as never before. the experience
and training of the specialist in these
lines are demanded
AS regards the question of irriga-
ton law. it should be borne in mind
that the legislatures from session to
session have been compelled to adopt
q "cut and try" policy This for the
reason that conditions have constant
ly been met for which no precedent
could be found Little by little, how
ever the laws covering the control
and use of water have been bettered,
until today Idaho possesses what, in
many respects. may be considered
model code of water laws Probably
what is needed most now is legisla-
tion which will bring about as rapid
ly as possible a thorough adjudica-
ton of water rights on all the
streams and sources of supply. This
will be a large undertaking, but such

This opportunity comes later.
Those who are not fully advised
Of the facts on both sides of the con-
troversy should be slow to condemn,
for very often the indicted persons
are fully exhonorated by the courts,
and only the stigma remains that has
been attached by thoughtless persons
who have not waited full investiga-
tion
It is not long since one Of our
most honored and influential states
men was under an Indictment for GER
tain alleged frauds and acquitted
when he came up for hearing This
proceeding has lefta faint on his
name. although innocent and above
reproaeh. that can never be removed.
1t will be the weapon Of the unfair
politician and his enemies who will
seek to injure him in ever way
possible
The indictment is nothing more
or less than "a summons for certain
persons believed to be implicated in
certain Irregularities to appear before
the Federal Court for a hearing at
which time a full investigation will
be made and decision rendered.
Then it will be time enough to give
utterance to opinions in the matter,
but until then it might be just as
well to remain reticent in the matter
and allow the facts to be brought
forth.

One of the most popular breeds of
cattle in the West is the Hereford.
and through the efforts of the Ma
tional Western Stock Show associa-
ton. the West is rapidly coming to
the front as producer of the very
best in this breed. Western con-
ditions seem to be peculiarly adapted
to this breed of cattle. and the de-
mand for the choicest individuals for
breeding purposes is always greater
than the supply At the coming show
in Denver the American Hereford
Cattle Breeders association is ar
ranging to sell fifty head of selected
individuals from the best herds in
the country at public sale This sale
viii take place on Tuesday, January
I 9TH, and while it is not expected that
the cattle offered will bring anywhere
near their value. they will be scatter
ell through the West and will do
good work for the breed i'm the flu
ture Each animal sold is guaranteed
by the association, and they are sold
without reserve. The animals are
selected by committee from the
best herds of the country and there
SHOULD be a good demand for them.

The West is to be the future breed
ing ground for the beef breeds. and
it is the hope of the Western Stock
Show association that within a few
years the western bred cattle pass
into the hands of good breeders who
will use them in building up good
herds. Anyone desiring further par

as we would like, but hope to make.
fulr amends when conditions are
more favorable for the publication
of such a number in the future.
we have attempted to carry to-
those on the outside a good impress
sion Of Mountain Home In every
way possible we have tried to con-
vey the proper impression to those
interested in Western lands and
looking for a new home.
We believe Mountain Home is the
best little city IN the Northwest, and
we are firmly convinced that it will
soon be the largest and most inn
portant city in Southern Idaho This
is a wide statement. but when our
immense resources are considered,
it is easy to substantiate the state
ment There is not a larger tract
OF irrigable land in the United
states than we have surrounding
AIS, and none that can compare for
quality and contour Our stock
interests are already the most inn
portant in the state. and mining is
an item that should not be over
looked.
During the past two years of
financial depression we have stead
lily advanced New buildings have
been erected and lands have been
raising in value
The recent Organization Of the
stockholders state Bank is the best
indication Of our condition. The
concern consists Of men who have
lived in this vicinity for a number Of
years and are wen acquainted with
our conditions When these men
place their confidence in the COM
munity to this extent, it is a good
indication that times are growing
better
We believe the new year holds
greater things for us and will be
one Of the greatest permanent de-
velopments of any year in our past
history with the return of con-
ndence and the good prospects Of
a sound and substantial irrigation
company in our midst. we have every
reason to expect great things from
the future
Our citizens must begin working
together in united harmony More
active interest must be taken in our
affairs by the citizens in order to
bring about these results. condi-
tions are improving and the future
is growing brighter Let the new
year find us pulling together for the I
greatest amount Of good for the city
and its people
