MR.. AVERAGE FARMER
DELIVERS LOUD HOWL
But Finds He Has No Yell Coming !;
Water Report Too Technical

The new system of informing the
farmer just how much water he has
used has proven a tremendous success,
except for one thing. If the said far
mer is not too sharp eyed he may
overlook a minute point in the card of
information and come boiling into the
office of the water users or the en-
gineer wishing to know what the
what.
This happened a couple of times or
more, so in describing the system this
one defect will be pointed out merci-
lessly.
The cards which are to be mailed
to the water users once in every quar-
ter contain a description of his land,
the total acreage, the amount deliver
ed the first quarter that delivered the
second quarter (Which has just theo-
retically ended and a total When
some farmers saw their totals on the
last cards mailed they went straight

feet. But not in acre feet PER ACRE
Here is where the misunderstanding
arises. \ man on taking out a water
contract is credited with twice the
number of his acres in acre feet, for
the minimum amount Tor which any
water user must pay is two acre feet
per acre. If the example has ten acres
he is credited with twenty acre feet.
Suppose he uses four acre feet the
first quarter and six the second. His
total Will then be ten acre feet or half
his allotment. Now, thinking the fig
ure ten means he has used ten acre
feet per acre, he generally gets real
torrid in the region of the neckband.
and he obtains horse or automobile to
go TO town and see bout that.
The last figure is an average of the
acre feet per acre he has used, and if
he had gone on to read that he would
have seen clear in a second. In the
hypothetical case stated above the av-
erage would have been one. Which
would have treasured John Smith

Christians. however, the desire is
stronger with some than with others,

Now II you will just yield to that
desire and practice it, in purity OF
