WEALTH FOLLOWS
touch OF WATER
Output of Modesto District,
Through Intensive Farm
ing, Grows Day by Day

The land and the water are made in
Eeparsble by act OF legislature. The
land never can lose the water nor can
the water ever be diverted from the
land. Every year improves the value
Of this great asset, a point quickly
comprehended in all its significance by
every modern student of farming.
With a level. compact body of land
comprising nearly half million acres,
100000 of which are already under
canal and ditch, and with the second
largest watershed in the state behind
il, Modesto lays claim to being the best
watered irrigated section in the entire
west.
Up to about eight years ago the dairy
industry was practically unknown. To-
day it is worth a million dollars a
year and growing yet.
WEALTH IN ALFALFA
With four to seven crops of alfalfa
annually. each crop yielding from one
or two tons of hay Of SURPRISING nu-
triton, and with prices very profitable
year in and year out, the lot Of the
dairyman here is enviable. II is es-
timated that one acre of alfalfa will
carry a COW all year round. No other
food is necessary. The dsiryman re-
ceives his check from the creamery
twice a month. He averaged 345z
cents a pound for his butterfat for the
year 1909, and finds that his cows give
him an average Of from SIS to SI2 per
head per month. Il is a fact that in
many instances selected herds of choice
cows return as high as SI2 per head
per month, and grade herds avera ge
from IS up.
The dairyman has no cold proof barn
10 build-a simple. comparatively
cheap frame shed n enough. Thatched
with straw his haystacks may remain
in the open throughout the winter. His
alfalfa field furnishes all the feed that
is required. He gets the top of the
market for his butterfat which is
called for daily by the creamery route
wagon.
GRAIN FIELDS DISAPPEAR
While ideal dairy land this district
has made wonderful strides in every
other farming occupation Planting is
continuous and on account of the rapid
settlement of the district the whole
face Of the country is changing day by
day From q vast area of grain ranches
SIX years ago. the whole aspect of the
land is undergoing a transformation
into small intensiveiy farmed tracts.
Each season finds new orchards in
bearing; young vineyards heavily
laden; the verdure Of new alfalfa on
every side. Hundreds Of acres are an
nually planted to irrigated crops, and
production will continue to increase for
years and years. The operative econo-
my Of the irrigation system is illus
trated by the fact that the total length
of main canals necessary to irrigate
the district comprising Modesto and
TUrlock is but ESQ miles. From these
canals a network of smaller bitches are
extended TO every section.

sion of work, and the enginemen will have expressed their desire by De- cember 10. Immediately thereafter, he said. the last opportunity would be given the railroads to meet the work CTS. If they ignored that opportunity, within five hours every engine west of Chicago would be stilled, the fires drawn and out of a thousand cabs would step every driver on duty.
 The railroad officials who heard the engine drivers demands are: w. B. Scott of the Union Pacific; F. k. Ward of the Burlington, F. c. Batch elder of the Chicago Terminal and the Baltimore & Ohio, F. A. Durham of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas, G. II. Emerson of the Great Northern, T. J. Foley of the Illinois Central, F. C. Fox of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, Grant Hall of the Canadian Pacific, II. J. Simmons of the Fl Paso & South western, and A. w. Trenholm of the Chicago. St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha
 The whole question arose from the decision of the engineers convention last spring. The general working con- ditions of which the engineers com plain include the following: The driv- CTS of Mallett compound engines, which do practically the work of two engines and entail corresponding re- sponsibility and capability, receive the same wages as drivers of engines of much smaller capacity. The engineers wish to be relieved of the toll of repairing engines in travel and car ing for them after runs. They also ask that switching time be paid for an a different basis.
 The magnitude of the wage question is evidenced by the statement of em- ployers that the per cent. wage df- ference now standing between the drivers and the railroads means ap- proximately $2,6OO.0OO a year. The cost of altering working conditions would be less than $50O,OO0, it is as serted.
 When the conference began" said Chairman w B. Scott of the confer ence committee, ''the engineers de- mands approximated 27 per cent. in- crease. This was finally brought down to IT per cent. We finally agreed to a 10 per cent increase, totaling $3,S40,000 for the 61 roads we rep resent"
 The wage increases demanded of the engineers was referred to by the rep resentatives of the railroads before the interstate commerce commission in Chicago recently as one of the reasons why higher freight rates ought to be charged by the railroads. At that

CHILD LAWS AND GAME LAWS

The women of Minnesota last year placed in the public schools oyer g., 0g0 children who were either working or playing truant. one of the leaders in the movement in describing the work, says, Child labor is bad, but child loafing is a thousand times worse The child at work is a me mace to himself and in some measure to society The child loafer is virus that harms all with whom he comes in contact" This worker calls attention to the fact that nearly ev- cry state in the Union has some sort of law for the protection of game and that in many instances if d quail is shot out of season the hunter is fined. his hunting outfit is confiscated and he is prohibited from hunting for the rest of the year. And moreover the person who informs the authorities re- ceives a reward She suggests that the game laws be paraphrased to fit humanity and that the maiming and injuring of child workers be placed on the same par with the act of taking a trout from the water at prohibited seasons of the year, and asks what would be the resplt if the machinery of the man employing child labor against the law were confiscated
 Such matters should be Carefully considered by women everywhere and an effort made to form a public senti- ment which shall give the humblest child in the country as good a pro- tection as the birds of the air are given. It is not so much that we are inhuman as that we are needless and when our attention is called to such conditions it is too strenuous an ef- fort for many of us to get out of the old mental rut in which we have been thinking for so many years, or per haps we haven't really thought at all. Let us wake up and give some serious consideration to the child problem which greatly affects the welfare of our nation.

time Vice President Park of the Illi- nois Central railway and other off cials told the commission. as did the representatives of the Chicago, Mil waukee & St. Paul and the Chicago X Northwestern, that the increase would cut off the roads surplus unless higher rates could be charged.
 In view of this the sudden cessa- tion of conferences between the en- ginemen and the roads today caused considerable surprise, since before the commission the roads had used the full figure of the enginemen's demand of a 27 per cent. increase as a basis for their rate increase arguments.
