For instance, twenty acres OF alfalfa,
cut and fed, will easily support twenty
head Of dairy cows, besides young
stock and q number Of head Of hogs,
leaving a garden and fruit trees and
vines and berry bushes.
As the markets develop and time
passes for the maturing Of fruit trees,
a twenty acre farm can easily be made
to Weld its owner $500 an acre year,
giving him revenue Of $4,000. This is
fa. better than many men make off 81
much larger tracts which are not in
tensively cultivated. --.--..-
The desert land law was designed
as a home making provision, and In
the early days it.Was necessary to hold
out great possibilities to get people
started into the valley to develop its
resources. But the time has come for
a change. With $4,000 acres still to be
allotted by the government In this val
lev. there is no longer reason for givlEg
away great tracts OF land, while mil
hons of families are longing for juSt
such homes as can be made here.
There is no question OF the possibility
of getting water in abundance FOR this
fand at about $40 an acre, and THIS
home making possibility does not lni-
ply the expenditure of dollar by the
government in building irrigation
works.
There are some cases where people
had gone on land in good faith before
it was Withdrawn by the government,
and matter Of justice demands that
their rights be protected, 50 far as they
had rights under the law.
There are great many cases where
individuals squatted on the land after
the government had withdrawn it and
the people to keep off. Of
course those who have gone on the land
in defiance of the order OF the govern
ment have no rights in law or justice,
and the government is perfectly free
TO allot the land as the best interests
Of the whole people demand.
There can be no doubt that The IN
terasts of the whole people and the
industrial interests OF the valley de-

parcels that will create. the largest pos

How may we know that we

|strain you may have one or more
|of the following named symp-
toms -
Eyes tire on near use. Vision
dim at a distance or at ten inches
from the eyes. Eyes burn or lids
itch and twitch. Eyeballs and
lids become infamed. The lids
feel droopy and heavy.
We get drowsy and sleepy aft
er reading a few minutes. We
have tendency to seek a better
light or to push the book or paper
farther from the eyes, or we
sometimes wear our glasses
farther down on the nose, which
is very injurious to the eyes.
We may have perfect vision

yet have all kinds of headaches
due solely to eye-strain. All of
