Panama Exposition
Will Be Different

]. A. Jasper special commissioner from
San Diego. Cal, speaking at the Land
show on the Panama California eXposi-
ton, which is to be held in San Diego
in 1915, said;
This exposition will in no sense at
tempt to rival the worlds fair which Is
to be held in san Francisco during a
portion of that year, but will be unique,
and in almost every aspect different
from any other exposition ever held.
"a magnificent 1,4OO-acrc park will hold
the exposition. in the very heart Of San
Diego. A great Indian congress will be
held in conjunction with the exposition
and all the aboriginal tribes of sub-trop-
ical America viii be brought together

modes of life. 1t will be the greatest
chronological and archaeological exhibit ever
assembled.
"The exposition viii be vivid 1t will

For example: 1t will illustrate how ir-
rigation may be most advantageously ap-
piled rather than what its best results
are; in mining the process of taking the

Lecturer Declares that Climate
Which is Best for Apple and
Hest for-Pench Also Best
for Human Beings.

Prof D. Y. Eaker, an orchardlst OF Col
crado, speaking to Land show audiences
at the Coliseum declares that the climate
which Is best for the apple and the peach
is also the best for the human being He
says in part:
The soil in the Colorado valleys is
only few miles from the mountain sides
from whose disintegrauon it came. Now
this is the recipe that makes the Colo
RADIO quality: First, a rich soil; second
constant sunshine third, cool air; fourth,
the system Of irrigation that brings
water to the roots OF the plants without
shutting off the sunshine from the leaves.
incidentally, the climate which Is best
for an apple and best for a peach is
best for a human being.
while the soil of all the humid regions
OF the world has for countless ages been
raising a crop of wheat, a crop Of weeds
or grass, or brush, or trees-this Colo
RADIO soil has been lying bare and brown
and dusty. In the humid regions the
rains have been teaching through and
through the soil, taking out the plant
food and leaving only insolube particles
or rock. In Colorado the soil is just as 1t
was deposited by the great mills OF the
glaciers, ages and ages ago. Time has
dislntegrated il still further, but It has
lost nothing Of its richness.

ENDLESS CHANCES IN TULARE
4. E, Mot Gives Interesting Lecture
at Omaha Land Show.
HE TELLS ABOUT CALIFORNIA
Unlimited supply OF water Comes
Down MountSinsidcs, Irrigating
Lands ON which All Kinds of
Crops Are Raised.


y. L. Mot special representative TO the
big Land show from Tulare county, CAL
ifornia. talking 10 large crowd IN
amusement han at the Land Show, said:
"Tularo county ia one of the largest
counties Of the state of California and
lies in the great san Joaquin valley, md
way between san Francisco and Los
Angeles Tho eastern portion Of the
county is occupied by the highest range
of the Sierra Nevada mountains, includ-
ing Mount Whitney, the highest mount
in the United states. with many of
the mountain peaks reaching the alu-
tude of eternal snow and the western
portion lying on the floor Of the valley,
we have practically every climate, from
the semi tropic to the rigorous north,
From the high mountain attitudes
flow many streams to irrigate the fertile
valley below and this, in combination
with our various soils and climatic con-
diuons, makes It a land marvellous pro-
ductiyeness.
AT the very first the country was
given over to stock raising and grain
growing on an extensive scale, but with
the coming Of irrigation the large stock
and grain ranches were subdivided into
small farms, where land can be pur-
chased in tracts ranging from ten acres
up at from 500 to 500 an arce, including
water right.
"All grains and cereals arc grown by
the normal rainfall which is about nine
inches, but for intensive farming irriga-
ton Is essential and the water supply Is
so
arc particularly fortunate, as the water
belongs to the land there being no large
corporations that own the water and sell
it to the water consumer at an arbitrary
price. Inc cost OF water ranges from
! Is cents to $3.50 per acre under the gray
| ity canals In addition to the gravity
canals we have many acres irrigated by
pumps which are driven by electric
power transmitted from the mountains
Wells to supply these pumps have a
depth ranging from seventy-five to 20,
! feet.
Along the foothills we grow the citrus
/ fruits-the orange, the lemon and fruits
of that class. out on the great sun
kissed plains we grow the declduous
frults-the peach, the prune, the plum
and fruits of this class. Grapes OF many
varieties here attain the highest perfec-
ton, and with them so hand in hand

have misinterpreted it s. as to be-
beve entryman must take up resi-

upon making their filings. This is
not true. They have six months in
which to take up their residence af-
ter filing. On the other hand there
is no allowance for constructive
residence as is generally believed
The law specifies five years resi-

Explanation

The case in which to exhibit
grains and other products of this
community, which was to be placed
at the depot, has never been install
ed. The committee appointed by
the Commercial Club to attend to
this, obtained permission from the
G. n. to place the case at the depot.
An effort was made to have the case
paid for and placed in the depot by
the Company, as they have done in
several towns on the main line. Al
this promised success nothing more
more was done and it will probably
not be put in this fall. There are
not enough samples on hand tc
make a showing, as most of then
were sent to the State Fair. Tbs
committee states that those wht
have brought in samples and wisl
to have the same again should cal
for them at once.
