those for the second crop of alfalfa Ninty-two per cent of the irrigated lands of the valley needing water at once, sixty eight zanjeros to deliver it; and that is the problem of it.
 For three weeks there have arisen emergencies in water service that have had to be met as best the U. S R. could Farmers seeing their crops dry howled for water, and when the excessive evaporation and other causes made it necessary for them to use three times as much water as usual they howled again. But they went right on getting water, and the heat that dried up the water, drew up the crops and today the valley is a picture of smiling richness. Grain fields never looked more like ready money than now. The water string ency is abating rapidly, and all the conditions that formerly worked hardships on the farmers are now becoming much easier to bear. Wa ter flows more freely now. It is de- liVered more rapidly, so that few have to wait very long for their service Of course some are yet unserved and they are daily being transported into the happy satisfied class. The en- S their time now riding about the val ley fighting troubles of water de- livery, and keeping the zanjero divi- tion of pep into the service is grad ually reducing the inwatered area to the vanishing point
 Canals are running brimful of wa ter. If there were canals the size of the Salt river. they could be used to advantage distributing the much needed moisture. Every available pump is in operation Every drop that can be put on the land is be- ing delivered The farmers are as busy as they can be caring for the bumper crop that is showing. Grain will not make d record for amount, but it will be of such superior qual- ity as to make amends for any short ness. Alfalfa never grow so luxuri- antly as it is now growing. Optimism is everywhere among the real farm ers and only those who farm a patch of sidewalk in town have anything to rail about. The water users are manifesting an encouraging tendency to consult the engineers of the re- cIamation service about water trou- bles, rather than cause them. The result is that long days of hard mo- toring are being spent by both MT. Fitch and MT. Reed in seeing every corner of the valley, and this close attention to the present problem IS making the trouble increasingly jess as the days go May has been very hard month for all crops, for the warm weather came early and has advanced ripening dates of grain un- til they fall on the same days as those of the second crop of hay. This makes it necessary to water tremendous acreage in mighty short time, and coming so unexpectedly has caused severe delays in some quart CTS. But the hot winds that have caused a third-at Ieast-of the trou- ble are dying and the crops are be- ing taken, in, thus reducing two of the trouble making factors at once. Consequently the conditions are bet
 tering fast, and the farmers are say ing "Aw I shud worry!"
