WATER FOR POTATOES
Irrigation Seldom Needed Until
About Month of July.
Of Much Importance That Soil Be
Well Pulverized to Allow Root
System of Young Plant to Get
Food Soon as Possible.

| (By T. S. PARSONS, Agronomist Wyom-
ing Experiment Statlon.)
In providing a suitable soil for pota-
| toes the fertility should be conserved.
Live stock is the real basis of fertil-
ity in any agricultural district. The
feeding of grains and grasses on the
farm replaces in the soil the vegetable
matter which produces the humus and
furnishes the nitrogen which keeps up
the fertility of the soil. In the noun
tain country, where water is the prime
requisite, there is no better storage
for water in the soil than decayed
vegetable matter, as this vegetable
matter makes the soil porous. 1t is
impossible to grow potatoes without
an open, porous soil, and it is i'm
pOrtant that the soil is we'll pulver-
ized and firmed in order that the root
system of the young plant may be able
to secure plant food as quickly as
possible.
If the seed-bed is well prepared and
the potatoes thoroughly cultivated
they will seldom need irrigation until
July. Irrigation water is generally
cold and it is important not to irri-
gate too frequently, for the water
causes the soil to run together and
lowers the temperature to a degree
that is unfavorable to the young
plants. Water should be applied only
when the plants indicate that they are
in need of it by the darker color Of
the foliage, or one may dig down into
hill and press a handful of soil in
the hand. If it fails to retain it's
form, irrigation is needed. Care
should be taken, however, that the
ground does not get too dry, as the
growth will be stopped. 1t has been
the experience that if potatoes are
grown as rapidly as possible SO as to
become strong and well established
early in the season they will stand
the maximum of unfavorable condi-
tions later on in the season. Irriga-
tion and irritation go we'll together.
When ready to irrigate a V-shaped
trench is run between alternate mid
dies with a lister or double moldboard
plow which throws the soil each way.
In these burrows the irrigation water
is run so as to keep the soil from
solidifying by flooding and to keep
the water away from the plants. For
the second irrigation burrows are op-
ened in the middles that were not
opened for the first irrigation. For
succeeding irrigations this alienation
is continued. Cultivation should be
resumed as soon after irrigation as
this soil will permit so that growth
will not be checked. Do not irrigate
after the middle Of August, for the
potatoes must be given sufficient time
to ripen in dry earth. Irrigation af-
fects to a great extent the uniformity
and vitality Of the potato crop.

YAQUIS GET THEIR FREEDOM
Maoero Restores Lands to the Once
Famous Mexican Indian
Tribe.

Mexico City, Mex.-The return of
the Yaqui Indians, now held in slav-
cry in Yucatan and Vera Cruz. to
their homes in Sonora, is provided for
In a preliminary agreement reached
at Hermosillo, between the leaders of
the Yaquis and Vice Governor Guyon,
acting for Francisco l. Madero, leader
of the revolution. The agreement also
stipulates that the confscated lands
of the Yaquis in northern Mexico
shall be given back to them.
The Yaquis promise to keep peace
and protect the lives and property of
both Mexican citizens and foreigners.
Adherence to this pledge means the
cessation of a bloody war that has
been waged for years between the In
dians and the Diaz government, and
which has resulted in the loss of
thousands of lives and millions of
dollars
At the outbreak of the rebellion the
Yaquis still in Sonora were armed by

there was no further use for its help,

Maderists, after their old chief, Bull,
had been killed in battle. Their num-
Der are variously estimated at from
500 to 1,500. Madero promised that
when they joined his army he would
restore to them all their lands as
soon as peace was established.
The land in question is included in
the tract of 100000 acres belonging to
construction company, and was ac-
quired by this company by purchase
in part from the federal government
under a concession granted some six
years ago for the irrigation and colo
nization of the land
The company has constructed about
100 miles of irrigating canals, bring
ing water from the Yaqui river, and
about three years ago placed a por-
tion of the land on the market and
sold about $4,000 acres, mostly to Los
Angeles people, and a number of
American families have settled on the
land and improved it.

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Hog raisers differ as to raising one
or two litters a year.
1t doesn't pay to starve the horses
when the grain gets low.
You cannot be too critical in the
selection of a new ram.
SOW is often a profitable breeder
until she is seven years old.
The hog yards should be well
drained and all wallow holes filed.
The foal must be encouraged to eat
heartily, and to exercise, rest and
grow
Remember that your horse gets
tired and has days when he doesn't
feel wall, just as humans do.
Begin feeding the foal oats, bran
and some bright, clean legume hay
when three or four weeks old
There is no place on the farm
where disinfectants are so necessary
as in the hoghouses and yards
Some wheat bran and grain should
be fed the colt both summer and win
ter to aid in developing bone and
muscle.
Every farm horse should, if pos
sible, be allowed to go without his
shoes at least two or three months
every year.
In selecting the gifts from any
young litter for raising as breeders,
the number of teats should always be
ascertained.
Skinned milk, oats, bran and alfal-
ia are specially good for brood sows.
though any hog will do better on such
rations than on corn alone.
1t is a pretty good rule to keep the
sheep off the timothy meadows. They
bite so closely as to destroy bulbs
that they cannot sprout again.
All horses have not good teeth, and
i'll condition is frequently caused by
neglect Of this fact. The teeth should
be examined at least once every year
Every farmer who keeps half a
dozen or more cattle, hogs, sheep or
other animals, should plant an acre or
two for green feeds for late fall or
early winter feeding.
The possible introduction of hog
cholera into the pens by people,
birds, dogs, ETC., should be guarded
against, especially if the disease Is
