UTILITY OF FALL IRRIGATION
All Surplus Reservoir Water Should
20 Turned On to Land In
tho Autumn.

Many are SO situated that they can.
not do any winter irrigation because
the water Is turned off from the canal
after the growing season and not
turned on again until irrigation Is to
begin in the spring.
Natures way Of breaking up and
disintegrating the solids in the soil is
by freezing and thawing and dry soil
does not freeze very much. Every
farmer knows how loose and easily
worked is the soil after the ground
thaws out in the spring and how often
they wish they could keep 1t that way
all summer. But Is everybody doing
all possible to promote this condition? :?
Winter irrigation will help very ma.
ter!ally. The effect Of late fall irri.
cation on alfalfa is very noticeable.
Ground irrigated in the winter often
produces one-half to three.fourths of a
ton more hay at the first cutting and
during the past summer the first cut.
ting Of alfalfa from winter irrigated
land ran as high as 81 tons the acre
The effect on all other ground is quite
noticeable In dry springs.
With the usual long. dry winter and
spring up to the first Of May. with but
little moisture one would suppose that
there would be no difference between
the ground irrigated and that not irri.
gated. but the crops on irrigated
ground come up much quicker and
make at least one-half more growth
during the summer. One reason per.
haps Is because they get the start OF
the weeds and keep them choked
down. Many springs there Is an abun-
dance of moisture and every old range
man knows that the best grass follows
a soggy winter. Some farmers have
no water with which to irrigate in win
ter but those who have should use II
by all means. All the surplus reser-
voir water should be turned on to the
land in the fall and run the risk of
entirely refilling during the winter.
Saving the moisture by tillage Is
almost as important In the growing OF
banner crop under irrigation as It
Is for tho dry farmer. The condition
Of the soil during the growing season
In regard to the amount Of water. its
freedom from clods, its mechanical
condition on most OF our soils have as
much to do in making the crop as the
fertility Of the soil. or course we
must have both to grow big crops
year after year. The soil must be
loosened to good depth to allow the
water from heavy rains to settle
quickly and not stand on the top to
form crust: to take In more water
when irrigated and 30 make less In
number the irrigations with less
chance for the ground to bake.

A Book Auction.

A Book Auction.
A crowd Of young people known as
the Recreation club had this for their
entertainment at one Of their last
meetings.: Over the living room door
the word Auction" was made in per-
fectly huge letters and below 1t was
a red flag and the sign Of three gold
balls.
There were pracards around the
walls saying please do not put your
feet on the seats" mo Smoking"
etc. Then the guests we're given
wee purses containing fake money.
The books were neatly wrapped In
MANILA paper. tied with cord and de-
posted in a pile beside the auction
eer's platform. The gents were all
seated in a semi-circle and the bidding
began. No packages could be opened
until all the books we're sold. A
clerk seated beside the auctioneer
wrote down the name OF the book and
the name of the purchaser rs the
sales were made. After the auction
closed the parcels were all placed In
the middle OF the room and chair
for the purchaser who paid for her
books as the name was called on:
each one undid the package and held
up the contents SO that all could see
what had been purchased. The fol-
lowing list show the titles Of some Of
the books and the articles represent

while patient care will bring sure re-

Making Butter

The making Of good butter begins
with the COW. The most profitable
way for the farmer to dispose of his
butter is to the creamery. To get the
best results from the milk set it as
soon as possible after 1t is drawn, and
at temperature OF 40 degrees. Churn
at as low a temperature as possible.
and stop the churn when the granules
are the size Of beans. Your trade de-
