SOUTHERN STATES TO
TRY IRRIGATING LANDS
Success On Pacific slope Attracts At
tention of Land Owners In
Other sections

Spokane, Wash-Dr. Samuel For
tier, chief of irrigation Investigations
for the United States Department of
Agriculture, who is making a tour of
the Pacific Northwestern states, said
III Spokane that it Is only a question
of a few years when many farms,
orchards, truck gardens and berry
fields in most of the eastern, central
and southern states will be watered
by artificially supplied moisture.
Continuing, DR.. Fortier said among
other things:
"The growers have seen or heard
of the success in the irrigated dist
riots of the west and they realize the
benefits of this form of insurance
against deficient rainfall or providing
methods to supply moisture to grow
ing crops at the proper time. This
can be regulated by employing any
of the several systems practiced in
the Pacific slope country AMI else
where.
Just now the department is max
ing a series of experiments to deter
mine the amount of water required
for irrigation as we'll as the best time
to apply the moisture. We have ar
ranged for a practical demonstration
in one of the valley west of Spokane,
where the work will be under the di-
rection of stephen c. Jayne, irriga-
ton expert and investigator for the
Department of Agriculture.
I'VE are also encouraging wheat
and grain farmers in the semi-humid
districts Of Washington to place some
OF their holdings under irrigation and
devote more attention TO diversified
! farming. This would not only permit
from three to four times as many peo-
pie to make homes on the land, but
also means larger and more profit
able crops. There is an abundant wa
ter supply at depths ranging from 5;
to 100 feet and less in numerous in
stances. Besides, the farmer will
find it pays to diversity and rotate
his crops"

The following resolutions adoptea by the Associated clubs of Domestic Science have been forwarded to President Taft and Secretary Vii. son:
 Whereas, Dr. H. w. Wiley. Chiet of the government bureau of chem istry, is one man in the govern ment's service whom we know to be a really sincere friend 10 the people, in that he has always taken the part of the people ir all con troyersies in which the public wei fare is concerned. and
 Whereas, Dr. H. w. Wiley. as the father of the national food and drug act, has always been an earn est advocate of pure foods, as against chemicalized foods which certain manufacturing interests are trying to force US to eat; and
 Whereas, it is known that the food adulteratoTs have openly threat ened to cause the dismissal of Dr. H. ". Wiley, and have caused the government to take his power from him by appointing the referee board to illegally usurp the func- tions belonging to Dr. Wiley's of-
 
 duties of Dr. Wiley's office to So- licitor McCabe: aid
 Whereas. since Dr. Wiley has been shorn Of his power the food adul- terators have flooded the country with their vile products. spreading disease and death among us; and
 Whereas, Dr. Wiley, although shorn of his power to enforce the law. has nevertheless continued to expose food -poisons and to warn the public against them, thus still making his influence felt as a power for good; Now, Therefore, be it
 Resolved, That we. the members of the Associated clubs of Domes- tic Science, representing Domestic Science organizations in all parts of the United States. do hereby earnestly implore you the President of the United States, and the sec retary Of agriculture of the United States, to consider the prayers Oi the people who are being subjected to such distress al the hands o, the food adulterators, and to not deprive US Of a true friend that we. the people, have in the food law enforcement in Washington, and to not hackeR to the cries of the food adulterators who very nat uraiIy hate Dr. Wiley because of his service to the people,. and be it further
 Resolved. That we respectfully re quest that you look into the cause of inc appointment of the referee board and other sction that has ! been taken. presumably in the in | terests of the food aduiterat1rs. to rob Dr. Wiley of the power which rightfully belongs to his office, and | if the facts warrant, that you re store to Dr. Wiley the full author i tty of his title, and permit him tc { enforce the national food law sc as to stop the adulteration of food; and be it further
