Idaho Potato Day

The management of the Chicago
Land Show will set aside one day
which will be named Idaho Potato
Day. Upon this day several ear
loads of potatoes will be given away
to visitors at the show. This move
ment was initiated by the farmers
on the upper Snake for the purpose
of advertising the merits of Idaho
grown potatoes.
This will be an excellent oppor-
tunity to advertise the potatoes of
this tract. These samples will be
nothing but the very best and they
will all be wrapped in paper which
will have printed matter on it de-
scribing the locality in which the po-
tato was grown and giving the name
of the grower. Each grower in this
community will be asked to donate al
least one sack of perfect spuds for thi:
purpose. The wrappers for the po-
tatoes will probablybe furnished by
the business men of the town. The
Railroads will haul the potatoes free
of cost.
All persons willing to donate 9
sack or more of potatoes for thi:
purpose can leave their names with
Shepard and Barrett. Mr.. MahoneS
of the Chicago Land Show will bt
in Wendell Saturday, Sept. 18th.

THE MEASUREMENT OF WATER

While the unit of measure used
in determining the amount of water
to be delivered upon a certain acre
age OF land is simple after it Is once
understood, there are 4 great num-
Der on the tract who have never
heard the matter explained. For
the benefit of such We give below
an explanation of this system.
which is applicable To this a well
as most irrigated sections:
The Churchill, Nevada, Eagle has
been asked to give the meaning Of
the term an acre-foot of water a
applied to the quantity to which
each homesteader or water user Is
entitled under the contract with the
reclamation service.
On this point the different forms
of water applications which are re-
quired to be used by applicants on
the Truckee-Carson project read:
The amount of water to be fur
nished hereunder shall be three
acre-feet of water per acre of irriga-
Die land"
We referred the question to Pro-
ject Engineer D. w. Cole who in
forms us that an acre-foot of water
is that quantity of water that will
cover one acre of land to the depth
of one foot, therefore, a water user
is entitled to the quantity of water
for the year that would cover all
his irrigable land to a depth of three
feet.
Yet it is not possible to measure
the water in that way, hence the
other unit of measure, that of sec
ond-fe instead of acre-feet Is used
To man who is not versed in the
necessary technical terms, the meas
uring of a second-foot of water Is
something like trying to put a rain
bow into barley sack. In fact a
second-foot of water is merely an
expression signifying a flow of one
cubic foot per second, and the num-
Der of second-feet flowing is usually
measured by means of a weir OF
some form of mechanical meter.
One cubic foot of water per sec
ond, flowing for "a hours is equal
to 1886 acre-feet. Therefore a
second-foot per day is considered
equivalent to two acre-feet. In
measurement a second-foot is equal
to 90 California miners inches, OF
3S.4 Colorado miners inches, while
in quantity it equals 646,272 L. :.
gallons.
As the two units of measure are
used, the acre-foot applies to water
in a stationary position and the

This will leave a balance of $3.50 in
case the estimate is correct. All money
above the amount necessary to complete
the building will be applied on outstand-
ing warrants.

necessary to have a few twists at
close intervals. The head OF the tool
slips down into the hollow handle
and is normally in a retracted posi-.
ton To use the implement two or
more wires are seized in the jaws and
the operator draws the tool toward
him. The resistance offered causes the
head TO wind its way out Of the handle
with the circular motion impaired by
its spiral shank. and as this happens
the wire is twisted automatically.
This IS very much speedier opera.
