WORK DONE BY GOVERNMENT
So Far Approximately $4,000 Families
Have Been Furnished With Suit
able Farms In West.

approximately $4,000 families are
now residing on farms watered by ir.
rigation canals. built by the governs
ment in the last eight years. That
means a population of about $4,000
added to the cities, towns and villages
In this irrigated country as a direct
result of the governments work. So
we may truthfully say, IN speaking of
what The governments reclamation bu-
reau 81 doing. that it is 4 process OF en-
pire building. says the Omaha Bee.
1t may be urged that the process is
n or elimination, that the people are
simply taken from one part of the
United States and transported to an.
otner part Ever If that were wholly,
instead of only partially, true it would
stlii argue nothing against. but every
thing for, the achievement.
1t is remarkable, too, how rapidly
towns and communities spring up
ron this irrigated soil. Farmers
must have their markets close at
nand, their centers of social and spir-
itual culture and knowledge, and as
soon as the government gets through
plating Its farm land It lays on its
town lots and they are eagerly bought
up n towns built upon them. And
tnese stowns are being built on the
foundation OF the experience of pros
porous and successful people and COM
munities In other parts of the country.
therefore, wisely and substantially
built.

Greatest Fault 10 Abnormal Growth
Of Wood-Trses Run Away With
Themselves In Growth.

It Is becoming evident that some
of d older orchards are not produc.
ing as abundantly as they did ten
years ago. There are too many short
crop years, and inspection Of the or
chards discloses the reason In the
lack of the vigorous appearance which
the trees once had. The greatest
fault, however, is in the abnormal
growth Of wood and this is the very
neglect against which we have been
preaching for many years. A 2OO-acre
orchard in Otero county Is a terrible
sight Just because this precaution has
not been followed and the flight Of
each year makes the trouble more
complicated for the trimming should
be done while the limbs are small.
says the Denver Field and Farm.
Then, toe, az a rule all trees in this
country are planted too closely and
their roots are interlacing and fight
Ing for what there Is to eat. 1t is
evident that the problem Of fertilizing
out orchards must be- taken up seri-
ously and 1t is truly a great problem.
We do not know how to solve it. We
wish we did. Surface face treatment
Is comparatively easy and If It were
only the surface with which we have
to deal nobody need worry. But most
OF u orchards on irrigated land are
to run away ~sth themselves
In their ravenous growth. The main
part OF their root-feeding system is
many feet under ground. How to get
nourishment to a starving root ten
feet under the surface which has con
sumed all the material within reach
we have not yet discovered, but have
an Idea that the question may be
solved by using some soluble fertiliz-
ing material in the irrigating water.
