While this has not been officially announced the feeling is general among the settlers there that this will be the case They seem to have some sort of infOrma- tion to that effect and it is generally believed In the meantime work is continuing on the lateral system, not so fast as it has been done at other times, but still there is work being done.
 Yuma county is also taking an advanced step in road building. Un- der the auspices and direction of the board of supervisors. an expert road building engineer is now being em- ployed making a thorough inVeStiga- tion of material useful in road build ing that can be obtained in the cOun- ty, and to map out a thorough system of county roads, which will be made the basis of a bond issued $300000 for which public sentiment there now is almost overwhelmingly in the ma jority. When this is done there will be substantial link in the Border land highway, as well as means of communication from any portion of the county.

TOD MUCH WATER
 DAMAGES COTTON

Taking a trip through the valley looking at the cotton fields it is brought very forcibly to ones at tention that too much water is being put on the cotton. Around Chandler the plants look well, healthy growth. large leaves, but that growth and those large leaves are the result of too much water. It makes the cot ton too rank, the stalks too long, The strength goes to wood and not to the bloom.
 The best prospect of large yield is on field that has been irrigated just once to bring up the seed It does not look pretty as some of the plants that have been watered every run of water but when it comes to picking and the returns, the once watered cotton will beat the other mile. There will be more cotton and it can be picked much easier. That piece should be watered now but it would hardly do to wet it. It has gone so far so well that the rains that are falling will be enough to water it. One can't put too much cultiVating on it but too much wa ter is harmful. Cotton should be raised like kaffir corn, wet it to bring it up, keep cultivating, perhaps in May give it a light run Of water

pointers and settlers are at present in the hands of experienced trainers and more are arriving every day. Training on prairie chickens is con sidercd the best possible preparation for the Derby, American Futurity and ether field classics. which to the breeder of field dogs assumes the same importance that the Suburban and Metropolitan holds for turf en- thusiasts
 The entrants for the next Derby. which is open to dogs born after January l of the preceding year, have long string of workouts ahead of them before they will be ready to qualify for the field classic of the canine sporting world. Following the prairie chicken training, the dogs are gradually worked south just in ad- vance of the cold weather. Leaving tine prairics of the northwest late in September, dogs and trainers move to the southern states where quail take the place of prairie chickens in the second course of field education All through the winter and early spring the training continues, and when summer arrives the puppies. now in their second year, are sent north again for the finishing touches.
 It can be seen readily that puppies NheIped early in the year have q distinct advantage over those born nearer midsummer, since they reach training age in time to secure virtu- ally eighteen months of work under skllIul handlers before being caIed upon for the Derby effort It is this early start that is the ambition of ever owner of a possible Derby con- tender.
 During the coming autumn and winter more than thirty trials viii be held throughout the country with prizes and trainers fees amounting to thousands of dollars. These prizes and championships are as eagerly sought as the trophies and titles in other departments of sport. and the sportsman who shoots over a doe to- Sether with the man who breeds field dogs for the love of the game attends or follows the details of the trials with on interest and enthusiasm moi surpassed by the devotecs of baseball racing, athletics and kindred comne- uons of skill and endurance.

tain shows that England now has fewer children than any other country except France, which country has been practically stationary in population for many years, with the number of deaths often exceeding the number of births in a year.
 The blue book also shows that the average marriage rate is declining and the average age of marriage continues to increase. The falling off in the number of births is probably the na- tural result of the fewer marriages and the increased age at which mar riage is assumed, but that does not lessen the worry of the English sta tisticians. The figures show that in 1881 there were ,551 children under five years of age to each million of population. In 1891 this fell to I22,- 536; in 1901 tO114,262; in 1911 to 1O6S57. In 1901 there were 356 mar ried women in England to each 1000 of population, and now thera are 40.

BUMPER ALFALFA SEED
 CROPS IN YUMA VALLEY
Some Farmers Average 1000 Pounds to Acre. No ChaIsiss Fly So
 Far This Year.

That the alfalfa seed crop for the Yuma valley will exceed this year all other years of production, and that as far as the general knowI- edge goes there has been no attacks by the chalsiss fly on the crop there is the information brought to Phoe- nix last evening by Chairman Null ford Winsor of the state land com mission who spent the last week in Yuma county on official business While the acreage this year may not exceed that of last the production in pounds will greatly exceed last years production,'' said MT. Winsor last night There is one man there now threshing his crop which will average more than 1000 pounds to the acre, fact almost too good to believe, and in some sections his crop yield was 1900 pounds.
 Chairman Winsor has himself nine ty acres of seed that is just being harvested After a pretty close eX animation of the crop made last week, he was ready to announce that the scourge of the Imperial valley alfalfa seed had not touched his crop. Several of his neighbOrs made the statements relative to their own alfalfa seed crops.
 "The farmers in the Yuma valley are looking forward to the comple ton of the work on the project this

and the rains that fall should mature "a perfect crop.
 All should stick to the Egyptian long fiber. There are very few places on earth it will grow and this is one of them and if the growers stay with that kind this valley will soon be known as the only place where the best can be secured and that in straight pure bred strains and it can be counted 0n.
 Some cotton planters will get more experience than cotton this year but it will be of value to them in raising in the future. Three light irriga- tions for cotton is plenty. The rows should not be too long or the cot ton at first of the row will be too wet before your water gets to the end. These three wettings should be in addition to rains.

Last night the police were called to the corner of Second avenue and Portland street to take charge of a drunken Mexican that was lying in the ditch When the officers arrived they found that the man was nowhere to be seen.

Despite en- quiries the officers could find no trace of the man nor which direction he had taken.
