The Virginia Fisheries Commission
will meet this morning in the office
of Oyster Inspector William E. Law
son, and as the legislature rs now In

sion today is expected to prove an
interesting one. Ii is probable tnat

Another feature Of the meeting to-
day will likely by the conference be-
tween crabbers and fishermen with
Mr.. Lee over the Lesner bin. which
has caused such genera, protest IN
this section. Mr.. Lee has already de-
clared that he Is not welded to the
Lesner bill and it is likely that the
local fishermen and crabbers will get
together and point out TO the COM
mission the objectionable parts OF the
bill offered in the state senate by
Senator Lesnsr. of Norfolk.
The commission will assemble al
1920 o'clock and it is believed the
business will require the commission
TO remain in session most of today
Secretary Matthews and Chairman
Lee are expected to reach the city
early today. 1t was said last night
that several other members of the
commission will be here.
May be Lawson Again.
With the re-appointment of Mr.. Lee

tainty that Oyster Inspector William
L. Lawson will again be named as the
chief inspector for the commission
Mr. Lawson has held the ONCE two
years and he has won high position
with the oystermen throughout tide
water by his fairness in dealing with
Them
The announcement from Richmond
that Governor-lecet Mann has decided
TO retain Mr. Matthews as secretary
OF the commission will be good news
TO the friends of the Acconiac man
here. Mr.. Matthews is popular In

Canal Approaching Completion.

In August of last year the Sina- loa Land Company commenced construction of a canal thirty kilo- meters in length which will cover a great area of land in the valley of the Culiacan river, on the south side of the stream, below the city of Culiacan, and in the vicinity of Navolota, ofwhich twenty.four kilo- meters have been completed, with work proceeding so satisfactorily that the remaining six kilometers will be finished within the next ninety days.
 The canal, which will carry eighteen cubic metres of water per second, is modern in every way, and it's construction will cost $600,- GOO, Mexican money. The head gate is just below the railway bridge at Culiacan, and it extends in a southwesterly direction. Be- side 100000 acres of land belong ing to the company the canal will cover a large acreage under other ownership which will be supplied with water. The company has a demonstration farm of some 5000 acres which is already under culti- vation. The great sugar planta- ton of the Almadas at Navolota, is under this canal and will use water therefrom. The Navolota plantation produces 800 tons of sugar cane daily during the season, which continues from November to May, and at Navolota there is a great sugar making plant which converts into the marketable com modity the entire cane crop of the plantation.
 The Sinaloa Land Company has sold already a considerable acreage of the land it owns under the canal. It sells the land, and gives with each parcel an inalienable water right. The company handles the canal and delivery of the water, and will continue to do so until it has sold 51% of the lands, when
The oasis., 1910-03-26

the canal will be turned over to the land owners 10 be operated and water delivered by them. Water sold to other land owners than those who have bought from the company will be attached to the land inalienably in the same way as to the company lands. The canal will carry sufficient water to cover all the lands it covers, and the river flows supply abundant for all purposes.
 In the canal are several falls which will be utilized to generate electricity for power. At each fall dynamo will be installed, and the electricity generated will be transmitted to the hacienda of the company, where it will drive mo- tors that will be applied to various purposes.
 In all parts of the state the com pany has great tracts of land sus- ceptible of reclamation and culti- vation, with ample rights in the flow of the half score of rivers which flow from the Sierra Madre to the sea across Sinaloa; and its plans contemplate construction of
 
 canals in every river valley, and reclamation of all of its lands. As soon as possible after completion of the enterprise now in hand an- other will be inaugurated and pushed to completion until all canals projected are done and in service.
 The work in Sinaloa is under management of MT. Nelson Rhodes, vice president and general man. ager for the Sinaloa Land Com pany, who makes his headquarters and the chief office of the company at Culiacan. Mir. Rhodes is an eminent irrigation engineer with an experience in Mexico embracing quarter of a century, and wide knowledge of the laws of the re- public pertaining to irrigation and their practical application, which knowledge is of great value to the company and will be of equal value to the purchasers and cultivators of the lands embraced in its vide spread system.

"But where can we get the new

ing that, and that is by draining
swamp lands and making dry land
arrable. This will add millions OF

wav of solving this problem is by in
stalling proper irrigation plants
wherever necessary TO make arid
lands arrable, without too much ex-
pense"

Fine Horses and Goad Farming On
Forty Acres.

Our attention was attracted to :
pair of horses hitched to~a Wagon
on one of our streets on last Satur
day morning.
The animals were in such good
condition, were so comfortably har-
messed up, and the whole picture wa
so pleasing that we were not salts
fled until we had hunted up the
owner and talked with him Tic
was one of the Boelte brothers who
came to US some is months ago,
and settled on what is known as the
"Templeton" tract, some four miles
east of town, formerly owned by
Mr.. w. G. Huntington, and in days
gone by the home of the Dinwiddies,
from whom the late Senator Bliss
bought the property.
The farmer who drove this team
into town only bought 40 acres of
the farm, but upon these, to us of
this section few acres, is living COM
fortably and making money. No
man who drives and cares for such
horses is neglecting his work in an
feature. Mr.. Boelte grows nc tobac-
co. but instead pays attention to the
raising of corn and hogs and in the
meantime sells chickens, butter and
eggs.
Discussing his horses with him
he simply said: Il can't afford to
depend upon a team not strong
enough for full work. for if ! need
ed a six-horse power gasoline engine
one of three-horse power wouldn't
suit me"
The illustration was to us an i'm
pressive one. The thermometer is
no better weather test than is the
farmers team of the general con-
dition on the farm. A brother of
Mr.. Boelte had a quarter of an acre
in strawberries last season and sold
in this market, most of them to the
Normal, $500 worth of choice ber-
ries.
A little thing you say, but put
many little things together during
the year and large results follow.
We congratulate these brothers on
the work they are doing in their new
field of labor, and express the hope
that their Virginia homes will ever
be the abiding places of plenty and
sweet content. OF course all such
citizens read the Herald for they are
interested in all that concerns their
neighbOrs.
