MONEY TO FINANCE
BRUNEAU PROJECT
Feasibility the Only Thing to
Be Determined.
Engineers for Financiers Now on the
Ground Some Interesting Prob
lens Which the Engineers
Have to Solve.

r. S. Buck, a noted engineer Of
New York, who represents eastern
interests with heavy financial back
Ing. is now on the ground examining
the big Bruneau irrigation project
for the purpose of making a special
report on feasibility of the project
The interests which Engineer
Buck represents are entirely able to
finance this project and it is not a
question of money SO much as Of
Feasibility. Engineer Buck has been
on the ground since last Saturday
and 1t probably will take a month
before he submits his report. It is
said
In discussing the matter, former
Attorney General Hays, who stands
close to those endeavoring to finance
the project says: "The project. as
proposed, is one of the most remark
able in the world from an engineer
ing standpoint and it is those unus-
ual features which call for careful
examination.
The total acreage proposed to be
covered amounts to about 500. 900
acres. This will make it not only the
largest single project in Idaho. but
IN the whole world as well. The plan
involves the construction of an i'm
mense reservoir to impound a million
and half acre feet of water and
the building of such a canal from
Miner TO the Salmon river as would
properly convey the water.
In connection seepage and
evaporation will form very big items
Tor consideration. The canal would
De 50 miles in length and it is alto
gether probable, on the face of re-
cent examination. that only a cement
lined canal will be considered.
Inc crossing of the Salmon river
where the water must be taken
across canyon 500 feet deep and
900 feet wide. is another feature of
great difficulty. This probably will
De done by means of shaft and tun-
mel, using an inverted syphon system
lhis involves not only great fric-
uon but also tremendous pressure of
water at the bottom.
Ihe capacity of the canal will be
ABOUT 5000 second feet of water at
point IS miles from its head. This
canal would be about twice the size
OF the present South Side canal.
Inc main point noticed from re-
cent developments, however, is the
Iact that, although between 100000
900 and $20,000.O00 must be expend
ed to carry this gigantic project to
successful conclusion. the question
OF money isn't the most pressing.
the engineering problems as to feasi-
piilty being the only things at pres
ent which delay the starting of oper-
ations
This fact shows that there is
plenty of money ready in the east
ern market to finance Idaho irri-
gation projects, and this is one of
the most encouraging indications of
the times. Boise Statesman.

An Enjoyable Entertainment

An appreciative audiance was en-
tertained Monday evening by the
Lewis and Clark troupe, which pre-
sented The Cattle King" under can
vas.
This drama of western ranch life
has all the thrills and Quivers neces-
sary to hold an audiance, and Of
course the hero and heorine close tn
last act in each others arms, after
all the dangers and complications
have been overcome.
The Lewis and Clark Company
did very acceptable work, and in
spite of the hot weather the big
tent was comfortable. The play was
followed by a vaudeville program
of half dozen numbers. that was
we'll enjoyed.
The band and orchestra accompan
ing the show was exceptionally good
for a travelling troupe and the music
al program was one of the strong
features of the entertainment.

palatable and better supplying the
different needs of the pig.
For the bulk of the ration nothing
is better than wheat shorts. These
are very palatable to the pig, nutri-
tritious. easily digested and serves
well in working the feed into slop.
Tankage, the by-product from the
packing houses, has proven very val
liable as an addition to the ration.
1t appears to act as an appetizer. an
causes the pigs to eat heartier. Thes
two feeds mixed with some grain
will give good results. The ration
used at the Idaho Experiment Sta
tion is made up of shorts four parts
corn chop two parts, tankage one
part.
The amount to feed depends on a
number of factors; the size and age
of the pigs, their condition and how
they take to the pasturage They
must be given enough to keep them
thriving. But care should be taken
not to get them too fat, as they will
suffer more during hot weather and
thus check their growth. The best
plan is to feed little less than the
pigs appear to want and gradually ii
crease it with the growth of he pigs
BY this method the full value of the
pasturage is utilized without check
ing the growth and when they are
put into the feed lots they will be
prepared to make the best gains.
1t takes good care and good feed
to produce a $50 pound hog in six
months but it pays.-Idaho Expert
ment Station Bulletin.

GROWING ORCHARDS
WITHOUT IRRIGATION
Expert Proves That No Irrigation is
Necessary in Idaho

e. T. Stephens. editor of the hort
leultural department of Campbelrs
scientific Farmer. has demonstrated
In tests at Nampa that orchards can
De grown successfully even in that
altitude without irrigation. Trees
this year have made as good
a growth as those on irrigated land.
IL this can be done at Nampa, where
there is less rainfall than in this To-
cality, and where evaporation is
greater, there is no reason why all
dry farmers here can not have a
home orchard. Mr.. Stevens cul-
tivates his orchard, mostly with
harrow, from fifteen to eighteen
times from April to September, keep
ing good dust mulch. The mois-
In Colorado, Nebraska and California
ture that falls during the spring and
winter is ample to supply the trees.
he has been successful in raising
fruit without irrigation, and his
success at Nampa proves that irri-
CATION is not essential to success in
fruit growing here.

Care of Pigs During the Summer.
The present hog markets demand
hogs from $50 to 225 pounds weigh {
and pay best for them finished early
in the fall In order to realize the
most profit from the stock the grow
er must meet this demand. This can
be done by having early litters and
getting the maximum growth. The
aim of this article is to deal with
the feeds and care to get the best
growth after weaving and during tn
hot weather.
Weaning should be done when the
pigs are about 10 weeks old, ,althoug
if only one litter year is raised an
Ell. But in this case they should be
often advisable to let them run long
the sows are in good condition 1t is
receiving feed separate from their
mothers. After weaving, the pigs
should be provided with fresh pas
ture. In irrigated sections alfalfa
can be used but it should be fresh
and over six or eight inches high. In
other sections the alfalfa will be too
coarse and other pasturage will
have to be provided. Rape or peas
are both good and probably the
best.
Care must be taken to provide
plenty of shade and to keep this as
free from dust as possible. Dust ir-
ritates the air passage causing cough
ing and is a decided check to growth
Provide plenty of troughs so that all
can eat at once without too much
crowding. Fresh water on hand at
all times is of especial Importance.
A few days neglect of this will ma
terially affect the growth Of The pigs
BY putting in an artificial wal
low filled with disinfeetants the pigs
will be kept free from lie anc sour
finess and their comfort materially
aided during hot weather.
A liberal grain feed must be used
in addition to the pass-rage. Mix
lures of different Grains are better
than any single grain IS being more

Loss of Plant Food on an Irrigated
Farm.

Idaho Agricultural College Bulle-
tin: A certain amount of plant food
is removed from and restored to all
cultivated soils. If as much Is re-
turned to productive soil as is ta-
Ken away, such a soil will never be-
come exhausted Therefore an es-
pecial consideration should be given
10 all phrases of the subject that
deals with the conservation Of that
already in the soil
In Idaho's irrigated districts the
largest part of the plant food taken
from the soil is removed by the
growing crops, but the amount of
valuable plant forming elements that
are lost in waste and drainage wa
ter may not be inappreciable.
The results of some experiments,
conducted at one of our leading ex-
pertinent stations. located in a nom
irrigated district, show that the
drainage water carried away an av-
erage of 81, pounds of nitrogen
per acre year from the top twen-
ty inches of soil. Although potash.
phosphoric acid, and lime are not
dissolved from the soils as readily
as nitrogen, it has been clearly
shown that the amount of these ell
ements in the drainage waters is
not small
If the mineral plant foods are so
easily detected in the drainage from
lands watered only by rain, the loss
on an irrigated farm. unless the wa
ter is carefully applied, will be con-
siderably greater. If large stream
of water is allowed to run all night
through vegetables and berriess and
for days over grain and alfalfa fields
these elements that are assimilated
by the growing pants will either be
carried below the range of plant
roots and lost in the under ground
drainage or will be carried off in
the waste ditch to enrich some 9TH
er farm further down the canal.
To reduce this teaching of the
soil by the irrigation water to a
minimum, as far as possible. exces-
sive flooding resulting in large
streams of waste water should be
avoided.-C. w. Colyer. Assistant
Chemist.

ONE OF WORLDS LEADERS
SAYS THE HALEY TIMES.
DIR. Taylor, the Noted Soil Expert,
Highly Praised for Great Work
in Interest of Farmers.

I DR.. Taylor delivered an address
at Soldier during his recent wes-
tern trip. and impressed his hearers
as no other lecturer whom they have
ever heard. The HALEY Times pays
him the following complement:
DIR Taylor is one of the most EN-
inent agricultural and horticultural
experts in the world. The grandson
Of scientific farmer, and the son
of graduate of Yale who was him
self scientific farmer. DIR. Taylor
practiced his profession until he
could see much vaster field of USE
fulness in intoxicating the principles
Of soil culture, and he quit a large
and growing practice to devote all
his time to his chosen work. This
has taken him not only to every
state in the Union, but to Canada,
Europe, Asia, Australia, and almost
every extensive region on the globe
Everywhere he studied cultural meth
ocs, the cause of the impoverished
and ultimate barrenness of soils and
the varied species of plant foods
and products and everywhere he
endeavors to impart his knowledge
by such addresses as that delivered
at Soldier.
"Dr. Taylor has received spIen-
did offers from many directions,
from Wisconsin for instance. either
on annual salary or large honorari-
ums for course of lectures, and has
been offered the free use of rail-
road trains for demonstration and
lecture and travelling purposes. But
he refused them all He has never
accepted a railroad pass nor a cent
for his lectures, and he never will.
He is doing his chosen work in his
own way, and will continue it while
life lasts, and look only and solely
to the Deere estate for his stipulated
remuneration. :"
DR.. Taylor will deliver a lecture
at American Falls on Farmers Day
and 1T will be one of the things that
no farmer can afford TO miss. 1t is
natural for men who have followed
any calling for a lifetime to believe
that they know about all there is
to know, but when men like Taylor
can double the yields being secured
by the best of farmers in every part
or the country it goes TO show that
the best of farmers have only made
beginning. Observation is the only
teacher the average farmer can COM
mand. He learns from experience
that frequent cultivation is helpful,
and in crude way he learns why.
But he has no opportunity of en-
iarging his information. and may be
doing things only half as well as he
might We're his understanding broad
er. DR.. Taylor is recognized as one
OF the foremost men in his calling
In the world, and those who believe
they have little to learn are espe-
cially urged to hear him. Such peo-
pie are very likely to receive some
thing that will make them more in
a single year than they have been
in two He is a teacher
to whom the agricultural colleges
and authorities look for guidance.

BIG WHEAT YIELD
~ IN ARBON VALLEY.
four Farmers Will Harvest n tn.
tai OF Twenty Five Thou
sand RusheIs


u. S. Butler, John Butler G. w
Ailard and Mr.. Keeler of Arbon ali
new settlers, will have 25.O00 bush-
els OF wheat to market this fall, ac-
cordlng to estimates of their neigh
Dors. Three years ago, when the val
icy contained about forty families,
the yield was estimated at $4,000
bushels. This year estimates run
as high as 100000 bushels, which
gives these four men one eighth of
the estimated total. The showing is
a great compliment to their indus
try.
u; w. Allard, who is geno9d1ly
credited with having the best wheat
In the valley, has 200 acres. OF
tnls l6O acres is fall seeding on we'll
piowed ground, and 40 acres was
dlsced in on stubble. Mr.. Keller has
160 acres. 1t was the opinion of a
majority OF those familiar with the
growing crops that he has the best
oats in the valley. They stand four
Ieet high and are said to have heads
as long as churn. The Butler fields
are good, but not considered quite
as good as those of Allard or Keeler.
Iom Evans has some wheat that
ne is willing to put up against any,
and for fifteen miles up thevalley,
on every road, are fields that would
De classed as fine in any country.
A little more time for development
and the Arbon country will be capa-
Bile of marketing a million bushels
year. 1t has the area, the fertility
of soil, the altitude to conserve the
moisture and an energetic class of
people. In the valley some fine dry
and alfalfa were seen, and where
his is possible it means permanency
and high productiveness. Land that
will yield 25 bushels of grain will
'eturn 40 after a crop of alfalfa is
under.
