Mark Twain
c.. &. Good win
in Goodwin's Weekly.

A thousand people have won
dered what the especial charm
of Mark Twain's writings is. 1t
is that he was different from any
other writer that ever lived. His
marvellous sense of humor fol
lowed him to every place and
shone out in print in a light
never dreamed of before. We
will try to make this clear by a
simple incident. An earthquake
is generally held to be a serious
affair, and the more men see OF
them and their effects the more
serious they seem. Well, about
10 a. m. one Sunday morning In
the SOS, severe shock was felt
in San Francisco and vicinity.
At that time Clemens in that
city, and be wrote ''descrIp-
ton of the quake to the Virginia
City Enterprise. From an i'm
perfect memory we copy a few
sentences, as follows:
'tAll at once the old world
seemed 10 be seized with cramps.
The plurns in California are just
getting ripe, you may remember
what half-ripe plums did to you
when as a boy you used to steal
them. Men for the moment lost
their wits, apparently. Indeed,
there was only one man in San
francisco who showed any pres
ence of mind, and he was d
preacher over in Oakland. He
did just what [ would haye done
had [ been given chance. He
went down out of his pulpit and
embraced a woman. The papers
say she Was his wife and maybe
she was, but if she was it is a
pity. It would have shown SO
much more presence OF mind to
have embraced some other gen
tleman's wife.
ga young man came down
from the fifth story of house
on Stockton street. He had on
no clothing except knit under
shirt, which came about as near
ooncealing his person as does
the TIM foil a champagne bottle.
"Men yelled at him, small boys
shouted to him, while women
besought him to. take their sun
bonnets, their parasols, their
aprons, their hoopskirts-any-
thing to cover himself up and
not stand there distracting peo-
pies attention from the earth
quake.
1.-The young man gazed all
around, then gazed down at him
self, and then he went upsairs.
I am told he went up lively.
"Pete Hopkins-he weighed
400 pounds-was shaken off Tel
egraph Hill onto a three story
house. The papers, always mis-
representing things, ascribed
the destruction of the house to
the earthquake"
In that strain he wandered on
through column and half of
those long, wide columns which
the Enterprise was published in.
He did it, too, while the thous
ands around him were still sh0d
dering from the memory of the
quake ard fearing a repetition
of it."

Farmers Are 1t

test of the practicabillty of all
the Observation-Disclosures
is at hand. On April l there
was due and payable into the
reclamation fund from the set
tiers on the various projects APP
proximately 81 900, 900 for water
rights. If the farmers are able
TO meet their payments, it evil
dences that the government is
able to secure "a return on its in
vestment. If the payments are
not made, the law is Il failure in
one of its most important pro.
visions and the operations of the
reclamation service would quick
ly be brought to an end.
But a careful canvass of the
projects on which water rights
charges are due indicates that
the settlers as rule are able and
willing the meet them.
On the big North Platte pro-
ject in Wyoming and Nebraska
there were 335 farms with charg-
es due on April first. 1t is re-
ported that 227 of them paid up
as early as last December and of
the remaining 108, the engineers
in the field estimate that not
more than ten will be likely to
be cancelled. Most of these
could relinqnish at this time at a
profit.
Even on the Truckee Canyon
project in Nevada, where condi-
tionS have been as unfavorable
as any could be, the reports
show few accomplishments. On
the Okanoyan and Sunnyside
projects IN Washington, the
Shoshone in Wyoming and the
Huntley and Sun river Ia Mon
tana, it is predicted that every
farmer will meet his obligations.
The payments Of their indebt,
edness by those farmers will
probably be the most important
single event in the history of
national irrigation. There never
has been any doubt as to the
competency Of the engineers to
construct the projects, but doubt
has been expressed as to whether
the government could get its
money back. The dollars of the
successful farmers in the dis
tricts will be the answer and the
vindication of the reclamation
law.
There have been failures as it
was inevitable there should be,
but the absolute failures and the
abandonmentS have been sur
prisingly few. In numerous in
stances those who underestimate
ed the task or came without eX-
rerience or sufficient funds were
able to retire without serious
lass. In numerous instances
many retired with some gain,
but the greatest number of fail
ures was found among those who
took up the projects never in
tending to use them themselves
but to speculate for profits IN
bona tide home makers who came
later.
Where the reclamation service
finds that failure has been due
to conditions not under control
of the settler, it is possible that
some way may be found to pro-
tect his rights, but where the
evidence is that the settler has
made no effort to protect himself,
he neec expect no aid from the

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS.
r III. Forbes, Director and
Chemist of Agricultural
Experiment Station
University of Arizona,
1n0.

January Is, 1907.
Just west OF Yuma. Arizona, in the alluvial
of 10 acres which on May /, 1905, was virgin
bottomland, covered with saltweed, arrow
brush and creOSOte bushes. The original
purpose of the tract was for planting selected
varieties OF date palms imported by the U. :.
Department Of Agriculture from the Old
World. The Experiment station, May 2, be-
gan preparing the ground, and on May 70 the
work OF leveliing, bordering and irrigating
the tract and the planting of l52 palms, was
completed.
THE PLAN OF WORK.
Recognizing, however, that farmer with
his living TO make meantime, cannot afford
to wait for an orchard to come into bearing,
it was planned TO plant crops for quick re-
turns between the trce-rowS, thus putting the
work on a feasible basis from the small farm
er'S point of view. In order to econOmiZe
ground the irrigating borders were SO placed
as to coincide with the rows of palms, thus
utilizing space otherwise usually wasted.
The tract was divided by the borders into
lands, for the most part one-half an acre in
size. 1rrigating water from the Colorado
Valley p. & l. Canal was obtained in the Gus
tomary manner and K. l.. Crane, himself
Yuma Valley farmer, undertook the care Of
what was nicknamed our play farm"
In size as well as in the intensive character
posite of the average holdings of this locality.
The prevailing crops of the region are alfalfa,
corn. barley, and forages III general, compare
lively little attention being given TO vege-
tables and fruits. Withal, the cost of levelllng
land in this region is high, rarely falling be-
low twenty dollars an acre at current prices
for labor and teams. Moreover, the cost, eX-
elusive of maintenance, OF the Govern ment
irrigating system now under construction
will be about $3.50 an acre annually for ten
years. To meet these and other heavy items
of expense in connection with the establish
ment Of a farm in This region, intensive crops
of a more remunerative character than those
now in vogue, are essential. 1t was partly,
therefore, as an object lesson bearing upon
these financial aspects of the general situa-
iior that this cultural work was planned.
