the men, Judge Blair took occasion
to give them few words of advice.
While the sentence in the penitent-

grand larceny is from to years.

flee until such time, at least. when
other arrangements could be made.
A goodly part of the immigration
into this county thus far has been
farmers from dry land sections.
These men have been handicapped to
some extent in making the success
they should, because Of their inexper-
fence in irrigating and their lack Of
knowledge of a new country, new
soil, different climate, etc, and for
these reasons the need of an expert
adviser had been very forcibly
brought home to the business men
and farmers alike. The agent has
not been selected as yet, but he will
have to be a man who is a good
mixer, a scientific and practical farm
err and understand the practical
workings Of irrigation. The club
