The agricultural Departments
March Bulletin

commissioner Koiner is mailing
out to the farmers the Departments
March BULLETIN. This is timely as Il
tells the fruit grower that if he :ha {
not sprayed his orchard for scale he
had better do so at once, before the
buds open. He says from specimens
of fruit twigs that are sent to him for
|examin alton there are many orchard
that need spraying badly. Another
article advises farmers the danger
from fungus poison to their live stock
from feeding mouldy or unsound feed
of any kind.
The Commissioner endeavors to im-
press on the corn grower the profit in
careful selection Of his seed corn. He
sssse sspe-frnesss shave shown that
good seed has produced fifteen bushe s
or more per acre than poor seed on
the same land. There is another
valuable discussion on the profit to
the farmerin having silo. 1t makes
five times as much feed from the same
number of acres over the OLD method
in corn slower.
The bulletin contains other nrac-
teal articles on the care of milk and
cream: valuable one on the prioci
pal elements of fertilizer in plant
growth; feeding cotton seed meal to
cattle; how to increase egg produce
ton: fertilizer and seed analyses. All
of these articles are practical al d
must he helpful to the farmer who is
endea voring to increase his profits
from his farm.
Any farmer who is not receiving
these monthly bulletins caa get his
name put on the Departments mail
log list by simply sending a request
to Commissioner Koiner. But be sure
to give your name and post office
The Commissioner often gets letters
and postal cards with no post Office
given.

S0uirrel Wisdom.

Mans superiority over the
wild animals is in some respects
more imaginary titan real, says
the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The
squirrel, for instance, knows
better than to depend on luck
from day to day to bring him
food in the season when that
food is to be found only in stor-
age.
This is the time Of year when
the squirrel has lesson to teach
his proud but shorter sighted
brother of the human race. All
the fall the little bushy-tailed
fellow, what time he could spare
from eluding the guns Of hunt
ers licensed by law, gathered
nuts from tree and ground and
put them away safely for the
winter use. He knew, somehow,
that a long season was at hand
when nuts could not be found,
when it would be impossible to
roam at large in search of prov
ender, and when, unless he
stocked his larder in advance,
hunger was likely to claim him a
victim.
Meanwhile, man let's the season
of fruit and veg etable plenty GO
BY. living on W hat the grocer's
boy brings to the door from day

THE FORT HALL -
IRRIGATION PROJECT

Water was turned into the main
canals Of the Fort Hall Irrigation pro-
ject to-day and within the next thirty
six hours shall reach the great syphon
about five miles north of the city, and
as fast as the water will flow the canals
and laterals of Pocatello and Black
foot $ great agricultural district will
be filled and distributing the life-giving
fluid over the thirsty acres Of the entire
system.
More than the usual amount of
preparatory work has been done over
the entire canal system this year under
the direction of Richard j. Ward,
supervisor of bitches, and the canal
system is in better shape at the begin
ming of this irrigating season than in
former years, and the officials of the
guine that the distribution of water
great benefit of the water users under
the canals and laterals.
There is scarcely canal or lateral
that has escaped thorough removal
ton during the spring months, both on
Indian and coded white lands. The
main canals have been built up and
strengthened in all the weak places,
the main channels have been widened
and the banks raised, the banks have
settled into firmer shape during the
winter and spring months, and although
SO much of the main canal that waters
the coded lands runs through treach-
erous sand formation, it is thought that
this year the canals will hold firm
through the season, and no serious wash
outs will be encountered to occasion
the water users inconvenience and loss.
Inspection System.
A trip over the entire canal system
of the Fort Hall Irrigation project
was experienced a few days since by
"a representative of the Tribune to-
gether with A. j. Pierce of the Poca-
tello Water Users association, at the
invitation and in the company Of H.
w. Dietz, superintendent of the project
and Richard J. Ward, supervisor of
bitches, and the trip was certainly a
revelation to the uninitiated.
The one thing that stands out prom
inently as a result Of the inspection
is the extent Of the system, being a
great deal more comprehensive than
would occur to the settler who knows
only the boundaries of the ceded
lands; another thing equally prominent
is the completeness of the system, the
numerous concrete structures in the
shape Of head-gates, sluice boxes, di-
verting gates, measuring boxes, etc.
The character of the soil through which
the main upper canal runs along the
foothills through and above the famous
"sands' from the head-gates on the
BlackfOot river to the Indian agency.
also impresses the visitor, and it is
easier to conceive where the moneys
