Little Johnny Evers of the Chicago
Cubs gained 30 pounds of flesh during
his winter lay-off from baseball. Even
now he tips the beam at 165, but says he
will lose 10 pounds of this before the
active playing starts.
II expect to play at $50 pounds this
season." says Evers.
When Charley Murphy saw Evers he
got suspicious. He glanced at the in
creased avoirdupois of his second base
man and asked:
What are you drinking?"
''Why?" asked Johnny, perking up,
Were you thinking of buying some
thing?"

south has the baseball fever. The hook
worm must take second place. The rea-
son for this is not far to seek The big
league teams congregate in the south
late in the winter and play long Sc
ries of exhibition games in the spring.
Hence it comes to pass that several
months are given over to the sport south
of the Mason and Dixon line.
The Giants Highlanders and Brooklyns
have been transforming in a northerly
direction for two weeks. After showing
big league sport in Shreveport, Chatta-
nooga, Birmingham, Mobile, Atlanta,
Nashville, Norfolk, Lynchburg. Winston
Salem, Columbia, Spartanburg, Augusta
and Roanoke, not to mention other towns
where other teams have been playing, it
is little wonder that baseball is booming
in the southern states.
The outlook for the Southern league
this year is very bright. And the South
ern league can thank the National and
American leagues for a good deal of the
interest of the Dixie fans.

miles of mountain roads with long

ABOUT DRAINAGE

1t has been proven beyond
doubt in other parts of the country,
both in arid and irrigated farming
districts that surplus water must
be taken care of by drainage. 1t
seems curious that in localities
where the rainfall is light that
there is need for drainage, but
nevertheless we have in and about
the vicinity of La lara body of
land that is in its present state
worthless for agricultural purposes,
for the want of drainage. This
tract takes in about 10000 or 49,
600 acres, lying south, southwest
and southeast of La lara. This
land at one time was producing
good crops, but of late years, as a
large area was put under cultiva-
ton adjacent to it under the sys-
TEN of irrigation, has from seep-
age water become too wet. This
tract of land can by proper drain
age, be reclaimed and made to
grow as good if not better crops
than it formerly did and will then
be as good as any in our valley.
1t is proposed to construct
large open canal with blind later
ais made of timber to drain this
tract of land. As some people
might be skeptical about the use
of timber for this work, it has been
proven when used for this purpose
to be in cool condition after
twenty years service.
Surplus water in the soil is
detrimental due to the fact that it
excludes the air. Land that is
water-sogged cannot be product
i've unless drained, which makes it
more fertile, more easily worked,
and admits air and sunlight;
these two elements being abso-
lutely necessary to the growth Of
crops. This same tract of land
after being drained-at small
cost per acre-will enhance its
value at least 80 to 100 per cent
per acre.
While some land owners in the
district are still opposed to the
drainage movement, majority
wish to see it go through. As for
results and reclaiming land by this
method one only has to go to the
vicinity of Monte Vista, where
drainage has been in use for some
years, and ut the present time a
large acreage is being put under
the drainage system.-La lara
Enterprise.
What is true of this tract of
land is true of other large acreages
in the San Luis valley. Ultimately
drainage must follow irrigation us
general proposition.
IRRIGATION BY PUMPING
French L. kellar received
water pump by express Tuesday
for 4. V. Herford who will use it
for irrigating on his ranch east Of
the Robb school house. This
pump will throw 800 gallons of
water per minute. A gasoline
engine will furnish power.
A part Of Mr.. Herford's ranch
has plenty of water for irrigation,
while other parts are in need Of
water. BY digging down some
five or six feet there is plenty Of
water for pumping.
This experiment will likely be
followed by others who often have
to use TOO much water in places in
order to get water Oh the dry lands.
