The extraordinary popularity of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch matter of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as stiffen-
er makes half the usual quantity Of
Starch necessary, with the result Of
perfect finish, equal to that when the
goods were new.

AN ACRE FOOT
Of WATER

The Churchill Eagle has been ask
ed to give the meaning of the term
IAN acre-foot OF water as applied to
the quantity to which each homes
teader or water user is entitled to
under the contract with the Reclama-
ton Service.
On this point the difference forms
OF water applications which are re-
CURED to be used by applicants on
the Truckee-Carson project read
The amount of water to be furnish
ed hereunder shall be three acre-feet
OF water per annum per acre of irr-
iRable land
We referred the question to Pro
ject Engineer d. w. Cole who in
toms us that an acre-foot of water
is the quantity OF water that will COW
ei one acre of land to depth of one
foot, therefore, awater user is EMIT
led to the quantity of water for the
year that would cover all OF his irri-
gable land to a depth OF three feet.
Yet it is not possible 10 measure
the water that way hence the other
unuit of measure that of second-feet
instead OF acre-feet is usesd. To a
man who is not versed in the necess-
airy teachnical terms. the measuring
OF second loot OF water is someth
ing like trying to put rainbow in a
barley sack In fact second-ioot OF
water is merely an expression signi-
flying a flow OF one cubic foot per
second and the number OF second
means of wier or some form OF me
eAanical meter.
One cubic foot of water per Sec
ond. flowing for "a hours is equal to
1885 acre-feet. Therefore a second
foot per day is considered equivalent
to two-acre feet. In measurement a
second foot is equal to so California
miners inches, or 384 Colorado
miners inches, while in quantity ii
equals 646.272 u. S. gallons.
AS the two units OF measure are
used. the acre-foot applies to water
in a stationary position and the Sec
ond-foot to flowing water. The latter
is the only unit that can be used in
the water users. On the Truckee-
Carson project the ditch tenders
keep a record Of the quantity of water
turned out to each water user.
