The case against James Meyers,
charged with the illegal maintenance
of nuisance under the prohibition
law was completed and given, to the
Jury at 3 O'Clock Saturday afternoon,
, The forenoon session of the court
was largely devoted to the examina-

testimony was of much the same I'M
willing character as that given on
the preceding day. A number of wit
nesses had been In the place and had
drank and. seen Others drinking, but
they were not certain of the nature
of the stuff they drank or whether or
not 1t was Intoxicating. Some of them
had drank "ginger ale" but were un:
able to state what else was in it or
whether It was intoxicating, although
there was a strong suspicion aroused
that there was 6 "stick" In the ginger
ale. Some of the witnesses had drank
liquor out of bottles that resembled
beer bottles, but were unable to state
whether it was beer or malt, the dis
tinction between the two beverages
being in the quantity of alcohol.
The range sof the witnesses was
wide, and they were drawn from all
sorts and conditions of men, and
from various avocations, and It Is
said that when the state closed Its

THE FEARLESS EDITOR.

The fearless editor may offend and lose a subscriber, but if he is right, in the end he will gain five. He may lose an advertiser, but if he is right, he will gain two thereby. If he labors not to displease anyone he will please no one. If he tries to ride all the horses in the 6eld he will be unhorsed by each of them. The editor should follow his honest we'll considered convictions, and the man he should labor to please is himself. If he does this with ability and without fear or favor he will have great following and better suppart though he be wrong half the time, than he who trims his sail to every change of the breeze and without chart or compass, principle OF purpose, drifts aimlessly with every shifting tide.

32O-ACRE HOrIESTEADS

Washington, June 12.-Secre- tary of the Interior Ballinger has designated 27O,O00 acres of land in New Mexico and 10, GOO acres in Montana as coming within the provisions of the 320- acre homesead law. These lands are mi-arid, and while very fertile if properly cultivated, must be farmed according to "dry farming" methods.
 The governments idea in giv- ing these large farms to settlers is to make possible biennial farming. The dry farmer can cultivate 16O acres one year while Ire js carefully slowing away moisture ia the other quar- ter section. This kind of farm ing IS very successful where the rainfall is only from eight to six teen inches per annum.

Yuma Indian Lands.

The homestead unit of the
 Yuma Indian reservation lands
 may be cut to 10 acres. Secfe-
 tary of the Interior BallingeF has instructed the engineers of the recla mation service to pre- pare for submission to the de-
 partment for approval of farm
 unit plats of the Yuma irrigation
 project based upon the proposi- tion that $0 acres of average
 land on the project is sufficient
 for the support of a family. This
 is subject to diminution in the
 neighborhood of towns and else
 where, where by reason of mar
 ket conditions and special fitness
 of soil for the growth of fruit and market produce less area than 40 acres may be sHaicicnt. In such cases the minimum acre age of the farm unit may be as low as ten acres.

FARMING r1ODERNIZED.

Agriculture has not escaped the mighty revolution of ma ehinery that has swept alf kinds of production within the last half or even euartey ceatary. Many of our readers can remember she bull blow with the wooden nsoa- board; when the spike tooth harrow was considered perfec- tion; when seeding and planting of all kinds were mostly done by hand; when the cradle gathered and the Rail threshed wheat and other small grain.
 But the wooden mold board blow, wich was only & few de- grees removed from the forked stick of the savage, has given place to the chilled steel share that cuts and turns clean Eur row to different widths and depths, and under this have been placed wheels, so that now the farmer rides as he breaks his land instead of trudging weary miles in the yielding soil. Again, in many places, though not gen erany, blowing is done by steam and gasoline engines, and these will increase as agriculture IS put more and more upon a busi- ness basis.
 The harrow has followed the development of the, blow, the spring tooth and ridiug disc harrows being quite generally in use and increasing yearly.
 The riding cultivator is known is, almost every farm community
 Wheat d'rillsand corn planters put in by far the greater portion of these crops, and machines for planting potatoes and other root crops are by no means uncom- FAO2

40 Acres Farm Unit

The following letter from the secretary of the interior to the director the reclamation service has been handed to this office for publication, and is self explanatory:
 Department of the Interior, Washington, June 10. The Director U- s. Reclamation
 Service.
 Sir:
 Upon a careful review of the conditions surrounding the Yuma Project, you are hereby instruct that the acreage which may be reasonably required for the sup port of family will be approxi- mated as nearly as practicable to 10 acres per farm unit. This is subject to diminuNon i'll the neigh borhood of towns and else where when by reason of market conditions and special fitness of the soil for the growth of fruit and market produce lesser area than 10 acres may be suf1i cient for the support of a family, In such cases, in pursuance of section 1 of the act of Jane 7 7, 1906, (34 Stat, 519 the minimum acreage of the farm unit may be 10 acres.
 The intent of this instruction is that there shall be prepared for submission to the department for approval, farm unit plats basesI epen the proposition that the 10 acre farm unit for the av- craze lands on the proJees Is sufficient for the support of a family within the intent of the reclamation act.
 Very respectfully,
 R. A.. BALLINGER,
 Secretary.
The Arizona sentinel., 1909-06-17

It Will be noticed that the Sec retary rather throws the respon sibility for the reported maSl or der drawing upon the newspa- pers. The fact is that the local papers took thelr cue from state ments made by Project EngTheer F. l.. Sellew. At meeting of the Commercial Club some weeks ago, MT. Sellew was present by request, the object of the meet ing being to inquire into the mail order drawing reports.
 Interrogated by President c. D. Baker, MT. Sellew corrobo- rated the published reports and stated that it was simply the in itial instance of a general deter imitation of the U. s.. Land Office to conduct all future reservation openings, or the drawings there in, at Washington, with the regis tratrei4. by mail. This had been brougEs about, he explained, by the great disappointment, dis satisfaction and expense attend inS past openings. He instanced one glaring case of recent date in Kansas, where over two hun dred thousand people came to draw for two hundred home steads, with a resulting profit to railroad lines of $2, 500,O00. He considered the decision wise one and an esta blished one, which no protests would avail against, and that it was determined upon after lengthy discussion and con- ferrlng among the higher off cials having jurisdiction.
 This was the position taken by MT. Sellew, and the foregoing is the substance of his statements. Naturally the newspapers sup posed that he spoke by author ity, and gave the matter publicity as doleful and unfortunate piece of news. Now that it has proved to be erroneoas, and that the reservation drawing is to be

Sore Shoulders on Horses.

The hide and flesh of a young horse are more tender than those of an old work horse. If the shoulders of the young horse are allowed to become sore dur. ing the first seasons work it is likely they will be sore or tender all the, rest of the animals life. If the young horse passes thro' the first season without injury the shoulders become toughened and with good treatment are likely never to become sore. - Field and Farm.

Desert Land Made to Bloom.

Chicago, H., June 11.-Gov- ernment irrigation projects cost ing S52, 1000, and making homes for many thousands in the west will be completed this year, according to F. H. Newell, di- rector of the United States re- clamation service, who was in Chicago today on his rcturnf rom a trip over the west.
 "We have already built more than 5000 miles of canals" he said. "This work will make millions of acres of once desert land bloom with crops and flow CTS. Tracts of land which we figured would take from ten to twenty years to settle are al ready practically filled and the people of the west are crying for more irrigation.
 "The man who buys irrigated land should investigate carefully. He should know absolutely that his title to water rights is good. J

4e-AcRE FARMS.

Tc another cclpmn is printed a ,ester frc.a the Secretary of the Interior in which IS embodied an order establishing 40 acres as the virtual farm unit unit under the Yuma project-which is ta- ken to rean that all settlers who entered land subsequent to the passage of the reclamation act will be limited to the 40acre holding.
 While this is regular, and in pursuance of the reclamation act, it would seem to work an injus- tice upon good many who en- sered or acquired 80 or 16O acre tracts, compiled with the require ments of the homestead law, and made homes for themselves after years of hard work and expendi- ture of hard earned dollars
 We consider the 40 acre ruling unfortunate in many ways. 1t is, of coursey sufficient for the support of a family" but real farmers are not, as rule, look ing fer 4Uacre farms. Close to Eos Angeles or other large city, 10 acres or even less would be 8 bonanza for markes gardening sr fruit, but 950 miles or raore from such 8 ready market, tkese would not be millions ir sty with the vast productive eapaci- ty of the intervening region and this section, yet undevelioped
 Every good, practical farmer who farms is looking for some thing more than a bare living.
 The ruling of the department is within the intent of the recla- nation law-aud yet it is to be hoped that the secretary may be induced to look at the matter from more practical standpoint and increase the farm unit to a maximum of 80'acres, at least.
