BIG FARM OF ALSIKE CLOVER

w. M. McGinness' farm of $50 acres
all in one body and all in alsike clover
is just now sight worth going some
distance to see. The clover is just in
bloom and the sweet fragrance of the
blossoms permeates the air for some
distance around.
This is believed to be the largest
individual alsike farm in this coun-
try and likely in the world. There
are larger farms owned by companies
or syndicates, but likely Mr.. McGin-
ness is the largest individual grower
of alsike clover seed there is.
The crop is heavy of straw as we'll
as heavily blossomed and is a thick
stand. When the May rains finally
ceased Mr.. McGinness believed the
crop would need no further irrigation
But on Monday an examination of the
soil demonstrated that it was going
to get too dry, and irrigation was
again begun. He expects the crop
will be ready for harvest in about
thirty days The prospects for the
crop are of the best and the value
may be estimated anywhere from &c.
900 to $4,000, with the latter figure
not at all unlikely.
The land is under the pumping pro-
ject of the Twin Falls North Side
Land and Water company and on
Tuesday big head of water was be-
ing delivered through the company
ditches.-Jerome Press.

SAVE THE PRODUCTS

The necessity of home canning in
Idaho is imperative, for it is COM
mendable fact that quantities of fruit
and vegetables go to waste every year
in this state for the want of some
simple way of taking care of these
products. Believing If women knew
how to can fruit and vegetables early
and successfully, there would be

people every year, Mrs. Olive Havins.

connection with the agricultural COL

In addition to the fact that money
can be saved by home canning, we
have the very important one of health

when we can get plenty of good fresh
vegetables to eat than we do in win

During the winter and spring we

sive patent medicines to keep our
bodies in a healthful condition. This
is not only expensive, but is also in

REPORT ON LOST RIVER PROJECT
Plans Proposed by Utah Construction
Company Approved.

The irrigation and drainage COM
mission created by the last legislature
and appointed by the governor will
recommend in its report to the states
chief executive and to the land board
that the plans of the Utah Construc-
ton company, owner of the Big Lost
River project, be followed out and
that the proposed new contract be-
tween the settlers and the company
for water rights calling for the deliv-
cry of two acre feet be adopted. 1t is
the latter recommendation that has
been the main bone of contention be-
tween the settlers and the purchasing
company, the settlers holding out for
more water and the company claiming
it could not possibly guarantee to de-
liver more. Apparently the commits
sion is satisfied that the contention of
the company with regard to inability
to deliver more water is correct
The commission has been in session
two days going over the records and
files of the land department and the
state engineer, gathering data for it's
report. Chairman Chase A. Clark was
unable to be present at the meeting
here and Senator Carter of Cambridge
who attended yesterdays session left
last night for his home. A majority
of the members of the commission
were in session today or Representa-
tives Anderson of Canyon county and
Waters of Twin Falls, together with
Senator Elliott of Bonner county. Rep
resentative Anderson, who was min
Ority leader of the house, was elect
ed as temporary or vice chairman
and presided at the conference
The commissions report will deal
largely with the reclamation of the
Big Lost river project, one of the most
important Carey act project problems
pending. The Utah Construction COM
pany is prepared to invest a round
million dollars in the project just as
soon as the new contracts can be APP
proved. The company and the set
tiers have been trying to get together
on this contract and present a united
front to the land board. The board
does not feel inclined to approve any
contract for water rights until ma
jority of the settlers at least approve
of it.
The commission has been over the
project and has inspected the Mackay
DAM 1t has conferred with the set
tiers and has reached the conclusions
stated above. The commission learn
ed from representatives of the Utah
Construction company that it is the
intention of the company to rebuild
the Mackay dam; not to build a new
dam above it. The engineers of this
company are confident that the old
dam can be safely rebuilt. In order to
make it perfectly safe, however, it
will be necessary to go down 60 feet
below the present bottom of the dam
to get through the boulder and gravel
formation and strike solid rock. This
will necessitate the expenditure of
large amount of money but on the en-
gineers plans the company is prepar-
ed to rebuild the structure in this
way. They claim it will hold water
when it is so rebuilt.-Capital News.

around half ton to the acre, usual
| ly of poor quality, burnt and dirty hay
The present condition of the alfalfa
was attributed by one speaker, DR.. S.
e. Leece, partly to the frost; but
| others, Harold Beatty and Mr.. McMas-
ters notably took the stand that frost
does not damage alfalfa where it is
getting proper irrigation.
Members of the commission asked
many questions, and in other ways in
dictated a lively interest in the situa-
ton. Mr.. Waters put the question
to the meeting, as to what condition
crops would have been in at this time
had only a normal amount of rain
fallen this spring. The response from
those present was simultaneous, every
thing on the tract would have been
lost. Mr.. Waters said he believed it.
The prevailing opinion seemed to be
that the early grain crops would be
brought through more or less success
fully with one irrigation available
The people who have grains have been
urging that what water is available
be withheld until as late as possible,
while farmers who have been raising
grasses principally, have been suff-
ering from lack of water for some
time. Most of the farmers seem to
believe that the grasses should have
had one good irrigation in April, and
another the latter part of May; that
the grasses should already have been
watered twice whereas they have
been irrigated this year but once. A
few instances where water was turned
upon small patches of grass when wa
ter was being delivered for domes-
tic purposes early in the spring,
showed in a pronounced manner, the
difference between irrigated and dry
farm alfalfa. 1t is generally conced-
ed, however, that the second cutting
of alfalfa will yield better, with the
Irrigation it will have; some believ-
ing that that cutting will run to near
ly eighty per cent of normal; others
express the opinion that the stand
has already been damaged by the en-
forced drought to an extent that will
seriously effect the second cutting.
The question of holding the promo
ton company responsible for the dam
age that is being wrought this year,
and that has been sustained by the
farmers on the tract in years past,
was also discussed and the indications
are that the promotion company will
be held accountable for all such dam
ages, if in no other way than by claim
ing offsets against the amounts which
might have been due the company
under the water contracts.
Members of the commission init
mated that the tract ought to be i'm
mediately reduced to thirty thousand
acres, and expressed their opinion
that if the company continues it's pres
ent policy, it shortly will be in a
position to get nothing out of the pro-
ject
The commission seemed to appreci-
ate the responsibility of the estate in
the matter, and one member asked the
farmers present at the meeting wheth-
er or not they understood the state
to be behind the project at the time
they made entry upon the lands. This
it was found, was the understanding
of most farmers, and some discussion
followed to get at the facts as to just
