No Use For the Horns

When cattle were raised on
the range a good set of horns
was necessary for protection.
An all-wise creator put them
for that purpose. On the farm
a COW or a steer is not in need of
horns. Breeders are breeding
them off very rapidly. Even the
long horned Hereford has a poll
ed strain now, and it is predicted
by many that within twenty five
years horned animal of the bo-
vine race will be a curiosity. On
the other hand, advocates of
horns say the hornless strain of
every horned breed is under
sized, and until it can come up
to those that have horns in size
and weight people will want the
horned cattle Of both shorthorn
and Hereford breeds. However,
there is no reason for leaving the
horns on after they are there.
The time to take them off is
when the animal is young, and
the way to do it is with any of
the prepared horn killers. Bot
take them off with the saw rath-
err than let them go. 1t is more
humane to do it than NOS to do
it.-Farmers' Mail and Breeze.

THE SENT INEL'S CRITICISM OF
PUBLIC OFFICIALS

Some exceptions have been
taken to the Sentinel's attitude
in its criticism of public officials.
What the Sentinel has said of
any of our officials has been fair,
and fair criticism of public SER
wants or of the methods under
which public business is conduct
ed is not only legitimate, but
altogether wholesome. Criticism
should not, however, be permit
ted to degenerate into noisy de-
clamation, or wholesale denun-
citation of either a community or
of any man in public life or pri-
vate life, and when it sinks to
this low level it ceases to be
criticism. The gulf between
criticism and oalumny is impass-
able; yet the calumniator, who
spreads SANDER, dispersion and
defamation, usually attempts to
hide behind the critic. The lat
ter seeks only to correct an
error or point out a defect, while
the former would tear down a
fabric or wreck a reputation.

Corn as a Foundation,

Corn is now growing in the
United States ON hundred and
ten million acFeS-an area nearly
half again as large as England,
ireland and Scotland combined,
and over three fourths as large
as France or Germany.
The department of agricnl-
lures July report suggests that,
with fair weather, the crop will
exceed three billion bushels, or
nearly as much in bushela as the
wheat crop of the world. The
same report Suggests, with good
weather, a yield of wheat that has
been exceeded only twice and a
record crop of oats-about a
billion bushels. But the most
remarkable feature of this agri.
cultural situation is the price.
After the report wss published
wheat for December delivery al
Chicago sold for IL cents q
busbel higher than year ago:
for delivery next May it sold
above Sl.10-comparing with 81
cents in '94 and '95. Oats fOl
delivery next May also SOLD
higher than a year ago, and corr
for December delivery abo1:
cents bushel less than a year
ago-the indication then point
ing to a crop of two and three
quarter billion bushels, which
was practically realized at har
vest.
These figures suggest a farm
value decidedly exceeding two
and one-balf billion dollars fol-
corn, wheat and oats alone.

Aviation Week in Los Angeles,

Los Angeles, Dec. 29.-Avia-
ton week, as planned to take
place in Los Angeles January 10
to 20, will be the first aviation
meeting ever held in America,
and the biggest and most thrill
ing event of the kind evor at
tempted. The meeting at Rheims
and the flights at Pau and other
places will be insignificant after
the Los Angeles meet. That
much is made certain by the ar
engagements already completed.
At least two holders of worlds
records for heavier than air ma
chimes will take part in all the
events, and each one has ex-
pressed his determination to
smash all previous records for
"gliders. These two are Louis
Paulham, the great French'avia-
tor, and Glenn H. Curtiss, the
daring American, who went to
Rheims and carried Off the bon
ors for the longest fight, With
those two sky sailors matched
against each other and each de
termined to carry off the honors
of the first aviation meeting in
America, and with Willard, Bou-
ehoy, Knabenshue, Stevens,
Baldwin and scores of others all
trying to outfiy each other in all
types of flying machines, it is
certain that the 200, 600 who will
witness the mid winter flights in
Los Angeles will not be disap-
pointed by lack of thrills.

not names. The whole air is
then oppressive with the odor.
All, then is life on the desert a
joy-the nights with their blue
arched heavens above thickly
studded with brilliant stars, and
the stiffness, the solitude, the
mystery. One cannot write of
these things; they must be seen
and felt and, the understanding
of them borne into ones inner
most soul, until understanding
comes.
Who will rise and write the
story of the desert? Who shall
chronicle it's mysteries, who shall
tell of it's victims, of it's terrors?
Who shall write the history of
the crumbling ruins, that are
found within it's mountain val
legs? Who can tell of the builders
of them, and name the bodies
that lie buried beneath up-piled
stones in her canons and gorges?
Who can tell Of their lives and
sorrows, and the cause Of their
death? Now and then a skull is
found. Perhaps, it carries the
mute evidence of a tragedy, liz
the small bullet hole that pierces
it, or there may be an arrowhead
still clinging to the shattered
bone. Who knows?
When shall the vast storehouse
of wealth in mineral that it con-
tains be laid bare? When shall

The Great Lagana Dam.
Los Angeles Examiner, Dec. 26I

With private enterprise work
inc hand in hand with the fed
eral government, the once dread
ed Colorado desert is slowly but
surely being transformed into a
garden spot which will rival the
most fertile and productive agri-
cultural regions of the world.
What private interests and
private capital have done to Gre
ate that agricultural paradise
APPLY named the Imperial Valley
in the southeastern portion OF
California the government is do
ing in southwestern Arizona and
a portion of California contigu-
Gus to that section, with the
funds of the national treasury
and the brains of the reclama-
ton service. Too much cannot
be said in praise of these men OF
progress who planned the pro-
iect that has made the Imperial
Valley bloom; much more will
be done by the government.
Water is the secret. Water
and gold. Millions in gold are
necessary for these great tasks
of diverting heretofore useless
waters, which are already Gre
ating millions in new wealth and
will create countless millions
more as time goes on. The yell
low waters of the Colorado,
properly designated the Nile OF
America, are rich in gold; only
the industry properly employed
brain of man being required to
extract it. Beside it the golden
sands of the Yukon are poor.
The first attempt to reclaim a
portion of the Colorado desert
by diverting the waters of the
Colorado river was that which
resulted in the creation of the
now populous and rich Imperial
Valley; it was a private enter
prise known as the California
Development Company, and it's
accomplishments have been writ
ten and read the world over.
This enterprise is still reaching
out, continually increasing the
area of irrigated lands in that
valley and consequently it's pop
ulation and wealth.
The year just closing saw the
completion of the Laguna dam,
the nucleus of the great Yuma
project, fathered by the national
government at q cost of over
three million dollars. It is one
of the first reclamation projects
undertaken by the government
and one of the largest. When
the canals and bitches provided
by the project are completed
$50. ZOO acres of the richest farm
ing land in the world will be
under cultivation, all of it com
prising small farms, none over
100 acres ia extent.
But the government will not
stop With what is now known as
the Yuma project, for the waters
of the Colorado can provide
moisture and nourishment for
many more thousands Of acres,
and in time it is planned to tag
the river to its capacity. The
main canal going through the
Yuma Indian reservation of II,
900 acres, which will soon be
thrown open to settlement, will
be continued through the reser
walton, siphoned under the Colo
RADIO river into Arizona, and the
Yuma mesa lands, comprising
40, 600 acres, which will be suit
able for successful fruit raising
The entire project provides fol

The raising of citrus fruits on
the Yuma mesas will be one of
the great future industries as
conditions are excellent for eX-

and this applies also to decidu-

the Mexican line and up through
Imperial county west and north
of the valley now under irriga-
ton, so that in the years to
come all of the sea-level zone,
including almost a half million
more acres of desert waste, will
become prosperous farms and
ranches. It is truly vast under
taking.
The Colorado river is even
richer in plant food than the
Egyptian Nile, and almost the
entire Yuma valley, which will
soon be under irrigation, is form
ed of sedimentary deposits which
have been brought down by the
murky waters for ages or depos,
tied before the Gulf of California
receded. The present and future
farms of the valley will never
wear out from overproduction,
because each year new life will
be infused by the irrigating va
tiers from the river, and they will
continue to grow more product
i've.
The area which will be irri-
gated by the waters Of the Colo
RADIO checked and controlled by
the Laguna dam and its gates,
as provided for at present, COM
prises the Yuma Indian reserva-
ton in California, consisting of
Is, 100 acres; the lower Yuma
valley of Arizona, IS, acres;
that portion of the ella valley
near the dam, consisting of 5000
acres, and the mesa land south
and west of Yuma, 10000 acres,
total of 119, 1872 acres. When
the 11,OOO acres of the lower
ella valley are added a grand
total of 10000 acres will be
reached.
The Laguna dam was complet
ed last March. The principal
function of this dam is to raise
the general river level in order
to provide a slow current in the
reservoir by the dam and to di-
vert the water at each end of
the dam into canals which will
have a sufficient fall for sluicing
purposes. Electric motors con-
troll the opening and closing of
the gates.
In spite of it's tabled reputa
ton for excessive heat, the CHI
mate of Yuma and vicinity is
magnificent. And long since it
has become known throughout
the land that the story OF the
man who after demise returned
to Yuma for his overcoat was a
grossly exaggerated misstate-
ment if not a wholly unjust and
libelous assertion. The summers
in Yuma are warm but not dis
tressing, such as in the large
eastern cities, and heat prOstra-
tions are unknown because of the
slight humidity. On the other
hand, the winters are delightful
and the city of Yuma has a large
winter population.
The Yuma valley already is
famous for it's diversity of farm
products and the abundance of
production. Everything that
can be raised elsewhere will grow
in the Yuma valley, fruits, veg
etables and cereals, and the
valley is not surpassed in the
raising of live stock. Seven and
eight crops of alfalfa can be cut
yearly, and crop can be had
three months after planting the
seed. Potatoes may be planted
in January and marketed in May;
all kinds of beans grow satisfac-
torily as do vines, cane, beets
and trees, and there is close
and ready market for all pro
ducts. Wheat, corn, barley and

parted and drawn over soft rolls to the
back of the head, where it is gathered
into a number of putfs or coils. There
is no lessening of the. use of puffs. and
if your locks are scant you must Dor
row, or rather buy. those of others.
The pompadour is still very popular,
but it IS low and soft. and the long
lines toward the back of the head are
important. A number of women are
wearing bangs, but 1t is not likely tina
this style VIII prevail. Women are not
fond Of clipping short what locks they
have.
The Botticelli couture is affected by
women of regular features. 1t is q.
plain as a couture can be, and the
straighter it Is the more modish. Curls
and waves and ringlets have naught to
do with it.. It's only ornamentation in
a plain, narrow band of dull gold. The
hair is parted and worn over the ears
and colled in a simple, loose knot at the
back Of the head. This style is greatly
affected by Partisan ladies. but beware
how you fool with it. You know it
