Originat- ing in America, it has been improved and its cultivation has been increased at about the same rate as has been the increase in population. They are now grown in all states of the United States, but principally in the Northern and Eastern states.
 Fertilizer.
 Generally speaking, fertilizer con- taining from three per cent to four per cent nitrogen, six percent to eight per cent phosphoric acid, and nine per cent to 10 per cent of potash will give good results, the kind and amount to apply depending upon the kind or soil and the natural fertility If the soil Is clayey ii will require less pot. ash than the sandy types.

 Potatoes should be planted as early as possible in the spring, say, iron: February 20 in the southern part of the state to April 1 in the northern

Further Views Are Given
On Local Water Issue

Navigation has long since disar-
peared from the Colorado and it is
being more and more every year de-
voted to irrigation, so that it is evil
dent that in very short time the
two nations will take up the question
of aErogating that feature of the
Gadsden treaty and divide the water
between the lands on both sides of the
Line.
We feel confident that when that
time comes the Mexican land owners
will get only small portion of the
water, as none of that water comes
| from any water shed in Mexico, but it
all comes from territory in the United
States. These points bring up the
present situation. Right now it is
sought to have the people Of Imperial
Valley give their approval of this
Mexican contract, and its unfair wa
ter division, and endorse the whole
scheme.
Under that condition, this is what
will likely happen: Up to the pres
ent time there have been about 10000
acres put under irrigation in Mexico
and something over 100000 in the
United States. 1t is well known
fact that, with their advantages of
first right, and first chance at the
water, these Mexican lands will be
quickly put under cultivation and
their acreage increased to at least
100000.
Suppose, in the meantime, we in
crease our acreage to 100000 under
water. What will be the result? Un-
der the concession, in case there should
only be water enough to irrigate 600,-
Imperial Valley press., 1915-12-04

The Hamilton speakers, at every
meeting so far held in this campaign,
have given their support to the prop
osition that the Mexican land owners
shall have half of the water taken
from the Colorado river. They back
themselves up with the Mexican con-
tract, regardless Of the fact that such
contract has never been recognized or
acqaiesced in either by the people of
Imperial Valley or by the United
States government. Mr.. Eshleman, in
his Palace Theatre speech, read some
of that contract, but failed to call at
tention to vital part of it.
In Article of that contract, the
Sociedad is authorized to connect its
canal with the river in Mexico, but
in doing so it must not injure the
rights of third party nor interfere
with he naYigability of the river.
You will see that these restrictions
practically nullify the grant, for there
is no point on that river, in Mexican
territory, where water could be di-
yerted where there is not an inter-
national boundary, and the middle of
the river is the line between Mexico
and the United States. If half of
the river belongs to Uncle Sam, then
he is certainly that third party, whose
right; must not be injured.
The Gadsden treaty calls for the pro-
lection of the navigability of the river
and provides that neither nation shall,
without the consent of the other, place
any works on the banks of that stream
where it is a boundary that will in
terfere With navigation or cause the
stream to change its course.

You will note that the total for the
school year for salaries alone in this
little school of only 300 students is
considerably in excess of $25, 900, and
| wish to ask, in all candor, if you can
match it anywhere else in this coun-
try? These figures have been taken
from the records at the court house
and can be verified by anyone who
cares to take the trouble to investi-
gate the truth. If space permitted, |
might go into other phases of this
school expense which is fully as ex-
travagant as the matter of salaries,
but the above will serve the purpose
for which it is intended, and that is
that Mr.. Hamilton's record for econ
omy seems to be almost as good as
school trustee as a director of the
Irrigation District. Mr.. Taxpayer, do
you feel that Mr. Hamilton can "point
with pride to his record as a school
trustee | wish to ask.
In all candor and earnestness, how
much longer can we as taxpayers of
this community stand for such gross
extravaganza as is shown by Ham
ilton's record in both offices he now
fills? Is he not altogether too ex-
pensive a luxury? Your answer to
the last question will be made on
Tuesday next at the polls.

900 acres land there has not been
enough to supply that much land du-
ring lower water period in August for
the past year,, we would have to turn
100000 acres of our farms back to
the desert.
Now we can rest assured that when
the treaty>is changed, which it prob
ably will be soon, Uncle Sam will see
TO 1t that we get all the water we
are entitled to in justice and right. But
when that comes to pass, just think
what sort of place the people of
Imperial Valley will find themselves
in. If the Mexican land owners have
already put their lands under cultiva-
ton, in reliance upon the Mexican
contract, they will find themselves
where they will be compelled by the
Mexican courts to deliver the water
awarded to them by the treaty to
Mexican lands, and let their own
farmers, who have to pay it all, go
dry or short of water.
While | was in Washington last
winter | heard a great deal about this
matter, and | expect it to be one of
the first questions that will be dealt
with between our government and the
newly-recognized Carranza govern
ment of Mexico. However, this mat
ter may be delayed, owing to condi-
! tions in Mexico. No doubt, when that
treaty comes to be negotiated, the
people of Imperial Valley, through
their Irrigation District, will have
something to say about it.
How would you like to be represent
ed by NJ. W. Conkling as your attor.
ney in such negotiations? Remember
the Southern Pacific owns a million
dollars worth of land under this ca
nal, and Harrison Gray Otis half
million acres more, all of which is
very valuable and easily put under
cultivation. 1t is to your interest to
see to it that your interests are pro-
teeted and that Southern Pacific and
C.-M. Mexican land owners do not con-
troll both sides when the showdown
comes.
