DRY FARM ORCHARDIsTs THE.
DRY SUSTAINED
Investigators Find That Cultivation
Supplies Eufficient Moisture to
Make Irrigation PrOfitless

To investigate the degree of soil
moisture that can be conserved by
cultivation in orchards, B. F. Hurst
OF Boise, visited the Stephens orch
ards of $40 acres near Nampa last
week.
Mr.. Hurst is manager of the Man
ville-Hurst orchard near Boise, and
served six years as horticultural in
spector in Idaho. He became inter-
ested in the question of moisture
conservation through the address OIL
Il. f. Stephens at the ~Nurserymen' =
meeting at Emmett, and recognized
it as of vital importance to the nur-
sery and orchard interests of the
country.
In the 80 acres of the orchard
which has been planted three years,
making it's fourth seasons growth
holes We're dug to a depth of three
feet. The soil at depth of two and
three feet contains all the moisture
that could be desired for the trees,
which are making rapid growth.
The orchard has not been irrigated
this season and was irrigated but
once during the season of 1910, but
was cultivated 16 times, keeping a
dust mulch over the surface contin.
ually.
1t has had ten civilizations this
season, and by September LIST, the
close of the cultivation season in the
Stephens orchards, will have been

The surface of the ground is cover
ed with a dry dust mulch three inches
deep. The first foot down from the
surface contains the least moisture,
the second foot the most, and the
third foot not so much as the second
Had the third foot of depth con-
tanned more moisture than the sec
ond or first, it might lead to the in
ference that moisture was being sup
piled from below. This, however, is
not the case.
1t has been Mr.. Stephens expert
ence in Nebraska with reference to
the amount of moisture required in
the soil for favorable tree growth
that, in general terms, with eight to
ten per cent of moisture the tree is
totally unable to draw support from
the soil. At Is to % per cent con-
ditions are most favorable for rapid |
growth. At 80 per cent the soil is
too wet, shutting out the air, retard-
Ing the decomposition and hindering
the assimilation of plant food.
In the tests made the second foot
Of depth was found to contain from
20 to 20 per cent, and the third from
Is to 20 per cent.
The moisture has been conserved

BIG ASSESSMENT IN BONNEVILLE
COUNTY
Idaho Falls Register)

The assessed valuation OF Bonnie
vile county is $10,426.211,O0, quite
an interesting figure for q newly or
ganized county, according to the fig
ures as given out from the office Of
the county assessor, NJ. ]. Wright,
this afternoon. The valuation shows
about a four-fold increase over the
valuation under the old form Of as.
sessment. These figures ,gtven do
mot include the railroad valuation in
the county.
Assessor Wright makes the state
ment that in his opinion the taxes
this year will be no higher under the
new method of valuation than before
with the exception of the additional
expense of the organization Of the
new county, and that no county
should be called upon to pay more
than Its just share of taxes under the
equalization. The levy will be fixed
IN September.

|nNE of the instruments I use is
OCurtis motion target. This in
strument is used in testing the eyes.
It's great function is to cause the
eye while being tested to relax to
it's natural state of rest and repose.
Thus obviating the use of drugs
as used by the old school occulist
to dilate the pupil of the eye. With
the Curtis instrument the operator
IS able to get the true condition of
the eye instantly, not so with the
drugs. The instrument is very in
teresting, and the eye in looking at
the motion target is instantly re-
LACED to its natural state OF rest.
The examination is made in one half
the usual time and the lenses given
for correction of vision are right.
