Jim Barnard is back from a

his neighboTs well entertained
with tales of his experience in

brought this story home: While
fishing in a river one day, he
heard a big splash in the water
and while wondering what caused
it, he saw an Englishman swimming
to the shore. When the fellow had
recovered from his Geld bath, Jim
inquired what made him Jump IN.

PUMPING PLANT FOR
HIGH LANDS
Four Thousand Acres to be
Reclaimed Southwest
of Emmett

The enlargement of the Farmers
Cooperative Canal and the installa-
tion of pumping plant at Pat
toms Point southwest CT Emmett
to irrig&te about 1000 acres ot
land above the canal is receiving
the consideration of the directors
OF the Farmers ditch.
Walter Burke and J. H. Han
nigan, of New Plymouth, who
have been appointed as committee
to investigate the feasibility of the
proposition and ascertain the cost
of the improvements necessary to
accomplish the object sought, were
in town yesterday on tour of
inspection.
The canal will have to be con-
siderably enlarged, as it is esti-
mated that the additional acreage
will require between 5000 ar.
1000 inches more water than the
present capacity of the canal. The
land lies south and southwest OF
Falks and the greater portion o.
it has been taken up within tn
4ast three years by homesteaders,
number of whom are Emmett peo
pie. There is a very good power
site at Patton's Point The water
will need tc be raised 100 feet.

AFFAIRS OF THE
BLACK CANYON
Talk of EelctIic Pumping Plant
Arouse Some CIi. iciSm

The rumor that the directors o1
the Black Canyon Irrigation dis.
trict had decided to- get water on
their lands by new pumping sys-
tenn has caused considerable talk
and some criticism. This rumor a.
rose from the fact that a party OF
engineers have been surveying the
field for a plan of that kind with
the idea that when all data had
been secured the parties they re-
presented would make the Black
Canyon district a proposition fer
electric power and pumps.
While the directors of the Black
Canyon district do not directly deny
that there is any basis for the ru-
thing is not at all probable. When
the government has tied up power
sites in such a manner that it is
almost impossible fer private con-
Germs to secure the same, and at
the same time it is comparatively
easy for an irrigation district to
obtain power sites, they seem to
think it would be unwise to buy or
rent power when they can have
their own plant should they decide
on this method CT putting water on
the IarGs. The homesteaders on
the North SiGe may be sure, the
directors declare, that the whole
proposition will be carefully inves-
tigated under any circumstances.
The big concerns who handle ir-
rigation bonds report that the mon
ey market does not give much en-
couragement for placing such bonds
at present; yet, while this is so,
word has reached the directors
that a representative of an English
syndicate with millions behind
him, is scon to be in this state,
and has written a good friend OF
the Black Canyon asking his advice
about investments, including irriga-
tion plants, and this man has pro-
missed to bring the Black Canyon
to the notice of the capitalist

SUMMER PRUNING OF
FRUIT TREES
Increases Following Years
Yield of Fruit Mat
erially.

c. C. Vincent, associate pro
fessor of horticulture Of the state
university experiment station, or
July Is wrote the following re-
ply to an inquiry as to summer
pruning as applied to 5-year-old ap-
pie trees"
This department has been carry
ing on a summer VS.. winber'
pruning experiment for a number
of years, and the records show
that where summer pruning was
resorted to a material increase in
the yield per acre was secured.
The time of pruning during the
summer, and the amount of wood
removed has influenced greatly
the yield per tree. In our expert
menrs we have found that best
resuEs were secured when the
pruning was done after the termi-
nal buds had formed. Any fruit
grower can easily determine when
these buds have set by examing
the ends of the twigs. Better re-
suits viii be secured if one will
wait until these buds have hard
ened slightly. In many cases To-
calities in the southern part of the
state the fruit growers should
commence summer pruning within
the next two weeks. The trees in
the northern part of the state will
probably not be ready before the
latter Fart Of the month. The
season has great deal todowith
the formation of these buds.
AS stated before the amount of
weed remover will influence grea-y
ly the yield per year We haveI
secured better results by pruning
cutting back from one
third 20 .one-half of this years
growth. The removal of a portion
Of the currert years growth is,
10 certain extent, stimulating TO
the remaining portion of the tree
,cr the surplus food will be de-
posted in the remaining buds,
,ausing them to swell to double
heir size. This aids them in form
ng flower organs. If summer prun-
ng is done during early summer, :
he flow of sap would have ten
lenCy to force out another ter
ninal growth thus destroying the
main object the fruit grower is
triving or--he formation OF fruit
summer pruning, as a rule, does
lot affect the present years crop
ut will have some bearing on sue
eeding crops
