clock, at which hour the committee
was on hand and escorted him to the

the spacious front grounds, and from

Primary grades, the Grammar grades
and the High School pupils, each ad-

BY this time II o'clock was ap-

ushered to the rostrum he was greetet
by representative assemblage of thu
finest people on earth, and these made
their welcome known to him by ;
spontaneous outburst of prolonged ap

BEES ARE USEFUL IN
POLINATION OF ORCHARD

Bees are very useful in polination
of orchard bloom. They are also pro-
htable in the production of honey.
w. J. Robinson and son of Nampa
sold $4,000 worth of honey out of
the crop of 1914 They also develop
ed many new swarms. These gentle
men have arranged to place $50 col
onies of bees in the Stephens orchard
this spring in advance of the bloom
ing period. In response to this the
stephens orchard people are sowing IS
acres of alsike clover to make ad-
ditional bee pasturage for the Robin
son bees. These people seeded the
K. S. forty to red clover last season.
With the near approach Of the COM
pletion of the Arrowrock reservoir the
Stephens orchard combination regard
it as now safe to begin sowing clover
and to that extent lessening the
amount of orchard under cultivation.
1t should be borne in lnlnd that in
seeding the orchard to clover three
times as much water will be needed.
An orchard in clover must be water
ed twice month, an orchard under
cultivation will get on very we'll with
three irrigationS.-E. T. Stephens.

CAPITAL IS AT HAND
FOR IRRIGATION PROJECT
To Cultivate Large Acreage Under
Wise Project.

The Wise Irrigation project near
Middleton is declared to be in fair
way to be one Of the big features in
the development Of the barren land
which for years has fairly begged for
water. The company has had its ups
and downs but the president Of the
company J. NJ. Wise, thinks it has
straight road ahead now. In talk
ing about the work he said:
"Setady progress is being made on
the project, although much slower
than such work moved when the coun-
try was enjoying better conditions
Enough water has been transcend
from tn point of diversion near Cald-
we'll to point higher up the river
acres.
To Increase Area.
THE state land board looked care
fully into the situation and granted
a permit to sell at present water for
thirty-one hundred acres There has
been a suit on to determine the duty
of water from the Boise river. We
are expecting that point to be deter
mined before the coming irrigation
season and I think we shall be per
mItted to sell water tor more than
the amount that is now transferred.
One year ago we constructed all
of the bitches near Middleton suffi-
cient to irrigate forty-eight hundred
acres. We shall, at least, accomplish
that much.
"The settlers are signing up readily
on this thirty-one hundred acre-lot
Capital Available.
1T is a difficult matter to interest
the capital necessary, but we have au-
thority to say that when we get our
water contracts all duly signed and
satisfactory in a legal way the
money is awaiting us.
The settlers plan to plant a thou
sand to fifteen hundred acres lthis
year. The water is selling at SIS an
acre. During the first five years they
pay only the interest at per cent
The next 10 years they pay the prin-
cipal and interest"
