new IRRIGATION PROJECT
Caldwell Man Asks Permission to
Reclaim $500 Acres.

H. L. Fisher appeared before thA
state land board Wednesday afternd~
asking for permission to launch an ir-
rigation project in Canyon county that
Is entirely out of the ordinary. The
land he proposes to reclaim approx
imately $500 acres, adjoins the city of
Caldwell 1t is above the Sebree canal
and cannot be irrigated from that
source. 1t would be subject to irriga-
ton by the Black canyon project, but
according to Mr.. Fisher, there is no
prospect of the Black canyon project
going through.
Mr.. Fishers plan is to water this
land from large body of underground
water that he insists is permanent.
He has report by the state engineer
to back him up in this opinion Under
the land be proposes to reclaim he
says there is large lake in bed of
sand 300 feet deep. This water he pro-
poses to pump upon the land selling it
to settlers at the rates of $65 an acre.
He petitioned the land board for the
privilege of entering into such con-
tracts with the settlers.
AS to the terms to be given the set
tiers Fisher insisted that he would be
more than liberal. Settlers were to
pay for their purchase in 10 years, but
there would be no payment on the
principal for the first six years. The
entire $65 an acre would be paid in
the last four years of the 10. All the
payments required of the settlers in
the first six years, while they were
bringing their land under cultivation
and getting start, would be the sew
en- per cent on the investment and
the cost of maintenance.
Secretary of State Clifford raised the
question as to the permanency of the
water supply. He thought that before
the land board sanctioned the PROPOSE
ton that Fisher should give a guar
anty of some sort that the settlers
would not have their water cut off af-
ter year or two or three. This guar
anty Fisher was not In position to
give. He said it would be impossible
to finance the project with such a
provision attached. He insisted that
the settlers were risking but little
that the land without water is abso-
lutely worthless; that they would
make make no payment, outside of in
terest and maintenance fees for six
years, or until the permanency of the
water supply was established beyond
question; and that the investors were
taking far greater risk than the set.
tiers.
The matter was taken under advise
ment by the land board until a more
thorough investigation is Made.
Attorney N. M. Ruick appeared be-
fore the land board as the representa-
tive of the Idaho-Oregon Irrigation
company and petitioned for the right
to cancel some 120 contracts between
the company and settlers who had
made no move to carry out their part
OF the contract. Mr.. Ruick cited the
law under which this could be done.
but no action was taken in the mat
ter by the board as the attorney gen.
eral required additional time to inves-
tigate the point raised Statesman.

work-1910. 1911, and 1912. The net
profit after charging expense of $120
per acre as interest and all other ex-
penses incurred were $S76.24 per acre
in 1910; over $500 per acre in 1911;
and the crop for 1912 was contracted
for and sold at an average of $110 per
box. This crop sold at that price
should net about $500 an acre over all
expense, or nearly $500 per acre is
the average profit for the three success
sive seasons. This shows an annual
profit of more than $500 per acre or so
per cent profit on a valuation of $1,000
per acre.

GOOD NEWS FOR BEET MEN
Sugar Company Will Pay Same Price
as Last Year.

Utah and Idaho will be the only
sugar beet states in which the price to
be paid for beets during the 1914 sea-
son will not be cut, according to
Thomas r. Cutler. general manager of
the Utah-ldaho Sugar company Mr..
Cutler has just returned from the an
nual meeting of the American Beet
Industry, held in Chicago, where he
had an opportunity to meet with the
beet sugar representatives from every
part of the United States where the
sugar beet is grown.
I'VE are already signing contracts
for the next season in Utah and Idaho
at the same price as last year. AS a
matter of fact, our company has been
conducting this work in Idaho for two
weeks. Although we are not certain
what effect the reduction of the tariff
will have on the beet sugar industry,
we will endeavor to conduct our bust
ness next year on the same basis as in
the past. In this manner we will bet
ter be able to forecast the results Of
free sugar in 1916.
While we will pay the same prices
next season, the company will be more
| 1nslstant in demanding conformity to
stance, payments on sliding scale
will be in effect, the best beets bring
ing the best prices. and reductions be-
ing applied as the sugar contents of
the beets decrease. Heretofore there
has been more or less leniency in re-
gard to this provision, but in 1914 the
company will insist that the contract
be adhered to by the grower.

already arranged to reduce the price
to be paid for beets during the COM
Ing season. In addition to this, many
OF the smaller factories will not open
their doors next year. The tariff revi-
cion, however. is responsible only in
part for this condition. These smaller
factories without sufficient capital to
back them have met with financial
reverses and the low price of sugar
has been the last blow. At rough
estimate, | should say that between
Is and 20 per cent OF the sugar factor
les will not be in operation for the
1914 season. This, however, includes
only the weaker concerns.
THE reduction in the tariff which
goes into effect March 1, has democrat
lied the worlds markets At the pres
ent time 1t is the lowest production
on the food list. The world production
is not increasing beyond the consump-
ton, and look for little higher price
when the tariff reduction actually goes
into effect.
1.-THE report that the 1914 season
would be the last for the beet sugar
factories was not authorized by our
association. do not know where it
originated. All of the larger factories
will operate In 1914. What the effect
on the market next year will be
through the establishment of free
sugar in 1915 no one can forecast. Our
company will endeavor to operate DUR
ing the coming season the same as in
the past, but what steps will be taken
in 1915 no one can tell at this time. "

Twenty-one million dozen eggs were
exported from the United States in the
fiscal year 1913, against one and
half million dozen eggs ten years ago,
and $4,000 dozen twenty years ago.

1913 OF ~, 4O9,39O dozen eggs, values at
$4,391 .653, and OF yolks and canned
eggs. $67.S54. bringing the grand total
OF eggs exported clearly above the 81
million dozen line, or over $50 million
eggs. This brings the total value of
a!l eggs exported up to practically
4 ~ million dollars in 1913, against

should, in the judgment of Mr. Ball,
the head of the horticultural work at
Logan, Utah, yield during the first
twelve years of the life of the orchard
three thousand boxes of apples per
acre. At the age of eleven or twelve
years the removable trees should be
fan-shaped allowing the permanent
trees to be extended without any him
drance to their lateral development.
Ultimately when the permanent trees
require more room than this, stick of
dynamite blasts and scatters the roots
of the removable trees. The cost of
removal is paid for by the fuel given.
Under Southern Idaho conditions,
there should be continuous productive
ness of trees up to an age of from fifty
to seventy-five years. In New York
state, orchards planted more than one
hundred years ago are yet bearing
fruit of good quality.

autumnal months and probably "a to

Fortunately, in Southern Idaho the
nights are usually cool and given a
good selection of fruit, with buildings
erected for cold storage purposes, with
provisions for changing the air, care
fully excluding the warm air of mid
day, fruit can be kept under very fav-
orable conditions until mid-winter or
later and then offered to an apprNcia-
tive and responsive market. Cold air
storage, so called, is very much less
expensive than refrigeration by am
monia process. | might state in this
connection that several up-to-date or
chardists at Woods Spur have COM
bined to erect for themselves build
ing that should contain and store 40
carloads of apples using cold air re-
frigeration. Their example should be
steadily followed, thus holding the
crop until the autumnal glut has
passed by.

kept abreast of the times, but the
state has not maintained its waterway
as a public highway. As a result,
traffic has slipped away from it to
the railroads at high rates, which are
always added onto the increasing bur
