awaken the interest Of the most am
bilious engineer. The Sacramento
river drains a vast mountain region
and carries water sufficient to irri-
gate an estimated area of twelve or
thirteen million acres-not only all of
its own immensely fertile valley but
likewise the agriculturally almost IN
exhaustible lands of the San Joaquin
valley. The Harvesting of the Sacra-
mento river is doubtless one of the
great engineering problems of the
country and millions of dollars have
already been spent in largely fertile
attempts to control this rampant
monster in times of food but there
is no lack of engineers who believe
the task a feasible one, and point to
the ample opportunities for storing in
reservoirs in the mountains the enor-
nous excess Of water, most of which
under present conditions not only
flows uselessly to the sea, but every
few years carries destruction in its
wake to the extent OF millions of dol
lars.

area of more than 100000 acres.
This has already been completely sur
veyed by the topographers of the
United States Geological Survey in
cooperation with the state of Califor.
mia, the survey and the state each
paying half the cost. This mapping
has been done on a scale of two
inches to the mile, with a fve-foot
contour interval, each map showing
an area of seven and one-half minutes
square. The survey covers all land
possible of irrigation between Red
Bluff, on the north and Suisum Bay
and Stockton on the south.
Surveys of the same class are
now being pushed southwark under a
similar cooperative agreement be
tween the state and the geological
survey. The present field seasons
plans include the mapping of the area
near Stockton and farther south in
the San Joaquin valley. The maps
will be on the same scale and contour
interval as those of the Sacramento
valley, and the topographers expect
to survey this season twelve seven
and one-half minute quadrangles, and
later to continue the work down the
hill country south of Bakersfield.
When this work is completed it will
afford for the great twin valley en-
pires of California an exact geograpn-
ical basis for engineering development
of any classification, drainage,
road or bridge constructin-ion fact,
any work requiring accurate deter
mination of levels.

nation of this extensive California
valley are sufficiently stupendous 70

THE FARMERS INSTITUTE
At MINK SHOALS WAS
HELD ON TUESDAY
Good1y Number Of the
Farmers and Their
Families Present

The farmers institute that was
to be held at Mink Shoals, Kanawha
county, on September and 5, met
September 5th, as Labor Day cele-
bration was on September 4th.
The institute opened on Tuesday
morning. A goodly number of far
mers and their families were early
on the ground and at 10 O'Clock
about $50 persons were present in
and about the school house.
The long continued drought, fol-
lowed by abundant rains, had COM
PEELED the farmers to get busy to
make the most Of the scant crops or
garden and field produce raised, and
save and market the same, so that
some of the farmers were not able
10 be present. The farmers wives
and daughters were a majority Of the
audience and their presence was
much appreciated.
Inc instructors present were Pro-
fesaoTs T. T.. Atkeson and II. S. Van
dervort Of the State University. and
Hon. John Bcgg Of Ohio, also Hon.
n. w. Lavender, county superinten-
dent Of schools, who cOntributcd

fully carried out. Families, friends
ana visitors gathered in groups
around the tables spread under the
trees, on the grass anG on tho school
house benches, which were covered
with everything the farm and the
market afforded.
In the afternoon Mr.. Begg spoke
at the grove on Soil, Its Care and
Culture" He said that everything
we eat and wear was product of
the soil; that the soil consisted OF
four elements-potash, phosphorus,
nitrogen or ammonia and hu1nus ::
mat 1t was necessary to conserve all
these elements to insure a succession
OF crops from year 10 year without
eXhauSting or weakening these ele-
ments; that it was necessary to feed
beef steer one kind Of food and a
CARRY COW a different kind, and q
laying hen a food different from a
chicken for market; that the beef
steer and the chicken needed car
honaccous food, such as corn, while
the dairy cow and the hen needed

and how to keep the fertility: /. By

During the next address the rain
compelled retreat and Prof. Wander
wort finished his talk on "Sirawrcr-
rles, Rasperries, Currants and Goose
berries at the school house. He en-
phasized rich ground, clean culture
and protection in winter for slIaw-
berries, pruning for raspberries and
spraying and pruning for currants

Prof. Atkeson emphasized the
value Of cooperation in general. and

and the farmer is suffering because
of the lack Of it.

Worth Lookin6 Into

Mr.. Frank Sutton Of Sparta was q
visitor in our town thisweek, and while
here memper Of our best citizens gave
Mr.. Sutton their application for 5 per
cent real estate loans, to buy, build out
right or improve, property The Stand
ard Home Co., an Incorporated institu-
tion of Birmingham, Ala. Recently
opened branch office at Sparta and
elected Mr.. Sutton as manager.
This Company offers very attractive
proposition which should appeal to every
good citizen Of Putnam County.
Their loans range from $500 to 5000 at
the rate Of 5 per cent simple interest
for term Of 103 years, to be returned
in small monthly payments like rent
or same can be paid quarterly, semi-an-
nnally or annually. The loans can be
paid off at any time; thus stopping
further interest. Many people at Spar
ia and surrounding towns ire taking
advantage Of this splendid proposition
It would pay any citizen to convert
their rent receipts into property Of
their own, thus making abetter citizen

held slimly attended meeting Decem-

cloudy and threatning weather. Some
however attend regardless Of circum-
stances, except sickness.
One brother was only reinstated to
membership. One committee due to
report asked for and was granted fur
ther time.
The sick brothers were reported
about the same. as last week
The Secretary complied with the law
in reading the names of Bros. liable to
be dropped for non payment of dues at
the end of this term, l3 names and it is
hoped that they will settle before it is
too late.
During the three years ending last

were 81, 4S4.38. The total relief of Bro
theirs $685. SIS. The hometax at Clarks-
vile $4,000. The general expenses,
including the above and all other items
have been over $1,000.

! Boy. Corn Clubs

Farmers and farmers boys please
read this carefully:
The United States government is
anxious to promote agriculture in the
South, and for this reason is encourag-
ing the organization Of Corn Clubs.
It costs nothing to belong to club.
The government will furnish you all
the instructions free, and will send a
man here to teach you. The corn is
yours wheu you make it. The profit is
all yours.
Large premiums are offered for the
largest yeald on an acre, both by the
U. S, government and the State gov
ernment, and we hope to secure a fund
for the purpose of giving prizes for the
best yeald in this county.
The conditions are that the boy must
be between the age of 10 and Is years,
must do the work himself, must put in
exactly one acre, must keep account
according to instructions Of the cost Of
productions. sIhe ground must be
measured, and the corn measured, when
gathered, by three disinterested rer-
sons.
/ believe that Pntnam county can
compete with any county in the state
in the production Of corn. and think
we aught to have at least one or two
boys in every district III this county I 3
make this trial.
Some Of you will ertainly get aprize
but the prize is not the greatest thing
The lesson you will learn and the prof
it you will make will more than pay
for the trouble.
Any boy who desires to belong to this
club, send me your name at once. That
is all that is necessary to do , Dec ONE

Teachers are requested to aid in en-
couraging boys to join in this work.

Fight Not Expected On
 Smith Regulation Bill
BY HUGH w. ROBERTS

Montgomery, February 2S.-(Special) Following it's agreement of last night. the temperance committee of the house this morning reported favorably the Smith bill of regulations which is in- tended as complement to the Parks local option measure.
 The Smith, bill of regulations will be made a special order of business foI next Wednesday. It is considered prob able that it will pass the house with out precipitating a bitter controversy It is not thought that it will have as strong an opposing body as that which unsuccessfully fought the local option bill.
 The bill of regulations is simple bill It provides that the general H. cense for saloons shall be $1500 and $2500 in Birmingham. In small cities the license shall be s900.
 According to the bill there shall be one saloon to every 1000 people in Mo bile, every 75O people in Montgomery and every 2000 people in Birmingham
 The bill provides for closing saloons at II o'clock at night, and opening at 6 o'clock in the morning. There is in- cluded in the bill stiff code or pure food regulations.
