Moscow Wheat Raisers
Through With Binders

Never again for me- said w. w.
Clyde, prominent farmer of the Mos
COW section, four miles south of
town, while discussing the question
of harvesting crop here in the Pa
louise country. He referred to bind
ers and headers and threshing ma
| chimes as being compared with the
wonderful new method made pos
sible since the Idaho National COM
bine has been perfected, Mr.. Clyde
said:
Il was one of the first farmers
around Moscow to interest myself in
this wonderful new invention. ] be-
gan operating them on my farm in
1908, and did very good job even
then with the little rig put out that
season. | was convinced that the
principle was correct and that it
would soon be perfected. In 1909
| again harvested with one of the
models of that season, and my faith
in the machine and the method went
and what was of greatest Importance
was that it was so inexpensive. 1t
cost the farmer practically nothing
compared to the old methods of the
header, the binder and the threshing
machine. 1t did not crack grain. In
1910, last fall, | harvested 120 acres
of wheat and oats. / used the i'm
proved model for that year | found
the machine as nearly perfect as was
necessary for first-class work, and
was entirely satisfied that with a few
minor additions like a substitution of
malleable for cast teerth. 1t was the
best machine in the world without
any doubt. And | believe there is
no question about this.
With one of my boys and eight
horses we harvested my crop, some
of the land being extremely billy.
We tried to see just how much the
little machine would stand up to on
land that had always bothered us
with headers, and found that the
Idaho did not skid, and with three
sacks OF wheat piled in the sack
sewers box on the lower side, we
were unabl, to upset it, We wanted
to see just how far We could go. We
We're satisfied. You cannot upset
this machine. 1t will not skid.
1T is the most economical machine
in the world. My actual expenses
for a 120-acre crop was practically
nothing. AS matter of fact it was
only s2.25 for oil and $3.50 for axel
grease. This may sound fshy to the
fellow who is accustomed to pay FIVE

and six dollars an acre for binding
and threshing, but it is the truth.
had no expense bill for extras, no
hired help, and no extra horses to
feed during harvest. When the crop
was sold every cent of the proceeds
was mine.
My grain, both wheat and oats,
was threshed perfectly No grain
was cracked and none wasted, and
during the harvest | had no trouble
with the machine. 1t worked per-
feetly. 1t was my third season with
the Idaho, and | was convinced be-
yond doubt that there was nothing
on earth to compare with the Idaho
1t beat the world"
Asked if, after three years expert
ence, he found that the Idaho Ma
tional fouled his ground, Mr.. Clyde
said that it did not. That he had
made a careful study of this feature
OF the machine and was convinced
that his land was in the best of con-
dition. The Idaho had left the
straw where it belonged, and he had
ploWed it under to the enrichment of
the land. He said that he had never
in all his years of experience fed
straw; had always burned his stacks,
and considered the Idaho method Of
evenly distributing the straw over
the ground was a decided advantage
and worth something to the farmer.
Mr.. Clyde was then asked if he
mad any criticism of the machine
from any source. He said: well,
not unless it is that the company is
making the 1911 models too good.
Ihey are, | think better than they
need be. | believe they are there
fore a little heavier than is neces-
sary. He agreed that this was not
serious criticism, as it was cheaper TO
feed an additional horse or two, even
II the harvester requires nine or -en
horses, than it was to buy extras and
waste time in breakdowns. He said
he had, after looking over the new
models, gone back home and looked
his 1910 model over carefully, and
could find no indication of weakness
or strain, and that he was of the
opinion that the 1911 models were
probably little stronger than nee
essary, a matter of minor impor-
lance as nothing but years of actual
Held tests under all conditions, dur
ing number of years, can settle this
point. He declares the principle and
the system is correct and the Idaho
National Harvester the best machine
in the world. This point he is posi-
tive about.

Another Oversight in Appropriations

1t has just been brought to light
that the last legislature among other
things overlooked appropriating any
money from the scientific school
fund for the State College at Pull
man, and that it failed to appropriate
any money for the S. E. p. & r. I.
fund for the state training school at
Chehalis. The failure to appropriate
money out of these current funds
means that about $4,000 will be
paid out OF the general fund that
should come out of special funds. As
the result the taxpayers will be pay
ing out money while the money in
the two special funds will be idle.

HINTS TO THE MAN PURCHAS-
ING IRRIGATED LAND
By Prof. o. l.. Waller. Head of the
Department of Civil Engineer
ing w. s. G.

The purchaser of lands with a
water right should require an alb
stract to the water title the same as
he does for the land title. True
the deed to the land will carry the
water title, but it does not establish
the fact that the lands, or the owner
Of them, has any legal title to water
with which to properly irrigate
them. 1t is not enough that the
vendor guarantees the water supply,
for unless the water is in the stream
and said yender has an unclouded
title to the same, he can never make
good the guarantee.
Since water is of the essence of all
such contracts, the vendor of water
right should be required to have his
rights to the use of water legally set
tied before being permitted to make
a conveyance of the same.
The question for the purchaser to
settle is not how much water has
been filed on for use on the lands
he contemplates purchasing, but how
much the vendor has an undisputed
title to.
The settler should satisfy himself
as to the flow of the stream supply
ing his lands during the months of
crop production. Water during the
winter and spring is of no particular
value on light and sandy lands;
with heavier lands the case would be
different. To insure full crops the
lands must be watered as the grow
ing vegetation demands.
The prospective buyer not only
wants complete title to a water
right for his land, but he wants to
know that there is ample water to
satisfy that claim and at the season
of the year that it will be needed to
mature crops. This should require
an official certificate of the flow of
the stream and of the legal claims
filed against it.
1t may be we'll also for the pur-
chaser of irrigated lands to examine
closely into the cost of maintenance.
This item, in a gravity supply, will
depend quite largely on the strength
and permanency of the headworks,
of the canal banks, and of the
structures. Where the supply is
pumped, a further study should be
made of the power charges. The
farmer should know about how
many acre-feet of water per acre will
be needed for his lands and how
much it will cost him. when he be-
comes d stakeholder in the company,
to pumb the required amount of
water onto his lands. Where power
is purchased the current price of
such power should be made a basis
for estimating cost. If the power is
developed by steam, gasoline, or pro-
Queer gas, all items of expense such
as fuel, waste, oil, labor, deprecia-
ton on plant, and interest on invest
ment and capital should be consid-
cred in making up an estimate of
maintenance charges.

Dayton, Wash. April Hum
dreds of acres of TOuchet Valley land,
which for five decades has been used
for wheat growing, are to be planted
with orchards this spring. Upward
of $4,000 trees were shipped here
this week from Walla Walla, Milton
and Salem, and more are yet to come.
According to estimates of orchard
lists and nursery dealers, there will
be nearly 1000 acres utilized for fruit
growing this spring, Although apples
Will comprise 90 per cent of the new
fruit there are to be some prune,
pear and peach trees set out near
Dayton. In fact there is a growing
interest in prune and pear culture
here and it will be no surprise to see
the growing of these fruits equal the
apple industry in a few years around
Dayton.
The largest orchard to set out
his year in the 2'0uchet valley is that
Of Ex-Governor Miles Moore, two
miles west of Dayton. This orchard
will contain 800 acres, all apples.
Numerous other orchards of from %
to 60 acres are assured, while many
OF five and 10-acre dimensions are
now being planted. Planting will
start here the first of next week.
