area Of the state. Yet, even IL only
about 5 per cent Of the total area of
Kansas, it represents total area as
great as Colorado or California irri.
gated in 1909 and a much greater
area than was irrigated the same year
in Idaho Wyoming, Montana, Oregon,
Nevada, or any other of the seventeen
irrigated states in the West.
| do not wish to minimizez the ad-.
vantages of irrigation on a small scale
in the upland regions, but | desire to
emphasize the advantages of our shall
low water areas which, if developed,
will make the state of Kansas one Of
the foremost irrigation states in the
Union.
We may wonder why it is that Kan.
sas has so many acres of irrigable
land that still remains practically un.
developed. Perhaps the foremost rea.
son is because these shallow water
valleys traverse great agricultural
plains. | fully believe that if these
high plains between the shallow water
valleys were covered with low noun
tains and rugged, that irrigation in
Kansas would have developed long be-
fore this. Moreover, these shallow
water lands seem too insignificant to
the average Kansas man when he sees
all about him vast areas of land prac-
tically all of which can be cultivated
and farmed by dry farming methods.
Another important factor is the eco
nomic condition. Naturally, develop
ment by irrigation, like all other lines
of agricultural development, follows
the line of least resistance. In times
past it has been easy to divert the
flow of streams into the valleys Of
Colorado, California, and other West
ern states where the topography is
generally rough and mountainous, but
these cheaply watered areas are no
longer available and each year more
and more money is being required to
secure dependable water rights.
The fact that water is becoming
more valuable every year is the very
reason that Kansas will find it profit.
able to develop more extensively these
shallow water areas. At present,
Kansas can furnish by pumping at a
cost that will compare favorablyy
with the newer irrigation projects Of
the West.
In 1909 there was approximately
1905, 100000 invested in head works
and main canals for the 1878, ,499
acres of irrigated land, or an average
cost of s22 per acre. DR.. Fortier, head
Of the Department of Irrigation Inves-
legations, states that about $40 per
acre should be added to this cost for
lateral bitches, leveling, etc., or max

LIGHT MARES PRODUCE The BEST MULES

1t is foolhardy to use the best mares
for raising mules. There are too few
of them to keep up the horse supply.
There are plenty of poor or unsound
mares that will rear good mules, said
w. A. Cochel, head of the department
Of animal husbandry at the Kansas
Agricultural College, to a class in
horse production recently.
The best mule is produced from a
light horse, Professor Cochel said.
A good mule-producing mare has a big
head; is rugged, roomy, comparatively
heavy bone, good big foot, and is up
standing. The jack should be as high
as possible, have a Roman nose,
coarse bone, a big foot, and long ears.
A mule eats in an irregular manner,
and it is almost impossible to founder
him. They do better If fed in a lot
than in stall. On farms where 1t is
necessary to have hired men it is best
to let them WORK mules, because Of
the smaller danger Of injury ,or loss
due to bad driving or feeding. Mules
are easily fattspsd in a small lot, and
a -

do not fight but they do not fatten in
a large lot because they are too rest.
less.
A careless or ignorant man can be
successful in breeding mules. but he
would fail with horses. But a careful
man will be more successful with
horses than with mules. A Kansas
farmer cannot afford to work good
draft geldings. but should work draft
mares, mules, or geldings that are
still increasing in value.
The average value of mules in all
states except one is from one to eight
dollars more than the average value
of horses in the same states. The ex-
ception is Rhode Island. There is al.
ways a good market for mules. They
are freer- from blemishes and un-
soundnesses and less susceptible, to
disease. They live longer than horses
at heavy labor and can be driven by
ignorant help with less danger of loss,

The court house officials attempted
to have considerable fun with George
Land this week when at the reorgani-
zaion of the board Of county commis-

man for the coming year. The boys
insisted that it was the custom and
the duty Of the newly elected chair
man to make a speech, outlining his
program and policies for the coming
administration, but George baked
right then and there and said that as
he was a great admirer of President
Wilson he would follow the example
Of the chief executive of the nation
and break a few Of the established
customs himself, and the first would
be the refusal to make a speech
and he didnt, either.

The stall rentals for 1914 will

average as they have during the last
four years, this will leave a deficit of

The expenditures include the mar
ketmaster's salary. AS he devotes half
his time to inspecting weights and
measures, a part of these expenditures
should not be chalked up against the
market house. But this is counter
balanced by the interest on the money
invested in the market house and
grounds, which would be $3.50 to $500
