five feet and stretching 100 miles
wide and 400 mi es long.
This is the underflow of the Ar
kansas Nile; an underflow which af-
fords an ineXhauSt.ble supply of wa
ter to the farmer for merely the
sticking in of a pipe and the pump
ing of it.
In Reno county in the valley near
Hutchinson, where the underflow Is at
the very roots of the growing corn. it
has never been utilized until quite re-
Gently, because the farmers have not
needed irrigation
But they are finding, especially
from the experience of the fruit men
this summer, that even where irriga-
ton is not necessary it will increase
the crops many fold. And with wa
ter to be had for the pumping and
the pumping so inexpensive, it is only
a wonder that more are not doing it.
Farther west up the valley, in
Gray, F'inney, Kearney and Ham lton
counties, the underflow is not so near
the surface as in Reno and Rice coun-
ties. But there, where irrigation is a
real necessity, more attention Is be-
ing paid to the utilization of this un-
derground lake of water seeping
through the sand.

MAY REuhQU|SH
PART OF HOMESTEAD
NEW RULING AIDS MAN
WHO HAS TOO MUCH LAND
May Give Up Part of Filing and Have
Payments Made on Same. Applied
to That Part Which he Wishes to
Retain.

Washington. d. c., Dec 27-In
compliance with the requests of nu-
merous settlers on the irrigation pro-
jects Of the government the secretary
Of the interior has issued the follow
ing regulation governing the subdi-
vision Of farm units:
l. A homestead entryman subject
to the reclamation act may relinquish
part Of his farm unit and have the
payments which have been made on
the relinquished parv credited to the
charges on the retained part provided
that the amendment in question may
be allowed without jeopardizing the
interests OF the government in the
collection Of the charges against the
portion of the tract relinquished.
2. The entryman desiring to make
such REIMBURSEMENT should submit
his application therefor to the pro-
ject engineer, who will transmit the
same with his recommendation
through the proper channels to the
director who. If he finds no objection,
will proceed as in other cases of pro-
posed amendments of farm units.
This ruling is regarded as one Of
the most important Of recent years
relating TO the reclamation work. II
is a confirmation also Of the prediction
which the officials OF the bureau
made several years ago that the great
est successes on the reclamation pro-
Jects would be those on the small
farms The requests for permission
to subdivide their farms comes almost
without exception from the men who
have taken up land in exces Of their
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1911-12-27

females The majority OF the male
sex was no less than 2.691.97S. Ten
years earlier the census of 1900 show
ed male surplus of only IS15.Oe7
1t seems that the excess of males
has been growing at the rate of about
$500 year for he last decade. That
increase has been irregular OF course.
1t mas been less than the average in
years when immigration was compar-
atlvely small and emigration-the re-
turn tide Of population moving back to
Europe-was exceptionally heavy ON
the other hand says the World, the
growth OF the male surplus has been
greatest when immigration was at
record figures and relatively few new
comers returned to their former
homes.
For immigration is the explanation
or the larger part of the bi gexcess
OF men in the United States. Almost
every country which sends its sons
and daughters to America furnishes
more of the former than of the latter.
Ireland is the only important excep-
tion to the rule OF a large excess of
males. In some instances there are
three or four times as many men as
women among the migrants from old
world lands.
The young men cross the sea to seek
better opportunities for earning a liv-
ing, and the women, for various rea-
sons are more likely to stay where
they werc born and reared 1t is
easier for the men to obtain money
for the long journey and they feel
much safer in such ventures. often
they go to prepare homes for their
sweethearts an in many cases they are
not able to send for them. as they ex-
pected to when they left their native.

MAPLE SYRUP FOR AUTO.
Vermont Grocer Finds a Lubricant as
Good as Rockefeller Product.

Brattleboro. Vt.-Following the
federal dissolution of the Standard
Oil company, another blow has been
struck at the oil octopus. Maple syrup
Is found to be substitute for auto
mobile oil. The car runs smoothly
and freely, as it were, on maple
syrup.
G. o. Abbott, grocer, who has an
auto, keeps his spare oil in an old
maple syrup can. His son put a
can of real syrup in the cellar near
the oil can. Abbott willed his crank
case with syrup by mistake and ran
his car twenty miles before anything
went wrong. Then. after coasting
down grade with the clutch thrown
out, the motor cooled and the syrup
crystalized on the piston.
Abbott says that IL he had kept the
engine running he could have finish
ed the run on syrup without trouble.

units at 80 and 40 acres each. and
has often since had occasion to re-
gret that it did not insist upon a
smaller unit
The new ruling. however, will go
far to correct the mistake which was
then made, because it will encourage
the subdivision of the large units and
will relieve the farmers of a portion
of the charges now assessed against
them. 1t will accordingly make for
more intensive cultivation of the land
which they retain, will eliminate the
expenses in part Of the hired help,
and will insure larger returns from
the lands in crops. 1t increases the
number of farm families. as each re-
linquishment will provide for new
home on the land.

ability and means to cultivate. While
the large land holder has been vast
ing his energy, time and capital in an
attempt to subdue his farm, and now
finds the burden too great for him to
meet the charges for hui ding. Ope-
ration and extra labor the small far
mers as a general rule have prospered
and are slowly gaining a competence.
Strong influence was brought to
ginning to fix the farm units at not
less than 100 acres. Every effort
was made to convince the department
that man could not make a living
on less than this acreage The most
influential advocates Of the large
farms were the prominent farmers
and business men in each of these
communities. In this connection re-
cent letter from Col. II w. Rowley.
the president Of the Billings chamber
Of commerce. is particularly interest
ing in view of the fact that until re-
Gently he was apparently in doubt as
to the small farm idea:
Il am most earnest in favoring the
small farm unit for this section of the
country. The forty acre farm unit
as established on the Huntley L. S.
reclamation project has proved
great success, and as whole. it is
perhaps today the most prosperous
section in our country, due entirely
TO the small farm units. our expert
ence certainly is that the small twen-
ty to forty acre farmer is as rule
successful, while the large units are
not"
zone Of the most important prob
lens that our chamber OF commerce
will deal with during the next year
will be to educate our people To the
of the small farm unit de-
voted to diversified farming. When
this is brought about we will have a
productive country ca
pable of sustaining a very large pop
ulation of successful home build
ers."
