quality and food values Of nearly all
kinds of plants by cross breeding
and cultivation, but the relative
value has remained the same when
compared with the amount of water
applied, either naturally or artificial
liz. This amount has been determin-
ed by thousands of years (history
takes us back over five thousand
years when nature has supplied the
same relative amount of water to the
soil.
Now, in the United States, this wa
ter may be considered as the most
favorable in the valley of the Missis-
sippi river, but to illustrate his
points Mr.. Mcclellan gave two tables
for consideration. The first table
shows the monthly and annual pre-
cipitation records made by the Unit
ed States weather bureau for from
thirty-two years at Boise to seventy
two years at Leavenworth, Kansas.
He divided his tables for conven-
fence into two groups the first
covering five states in the arid re-
gion: southern California, Arizona,
Nevada, Idaho and Utah. The last
two covering the points of greatest
precipitation in the United States,
Florida and Western Washington.
A study of this table is a revela-
tion in itself The precipitation in
the arid region is from O.56 inches
at Riverside, California, to 1888 in
ches at Salt Lake. Then at Bis
mark, North Dakota, where irriga-
tion is not needed, the precipitation
for the year is only 1880 inches.
That is, there is only a difference OF
1.27 inches year between a land
that needs irrigation and land that
does not need it at all.
The most fruitful part of the
United States is the country in the
Mississippi valley extending north
from eastern Kansas. The yearly
precipitation at Leavenworth, Kan
sas, is 1880 inches and at Grand
Rapids, Michigan, is 34.85 inches.
The average season for growing
plants Is four months from the mid
die of April to the middle Of Au-
gust. The second table gives the
precipitation at the same places dur
ing that time. Now, a certain part
of the moisture falling during the
other parts of the year is in the
ground within reaching distance OF
the plant roots when that growing
season commences. Granting that
80 per cent Of that is in the ground
in the arid region; that SO per cent
is in the ground in North Dakota

RRICATORS Use
TOO MUCH WATER
ENGINEER WHO HAS KEPT FIG
URES AND ACTUALLY OPER-
ATES A FARM SAYS so
CROPS DO MUCH BETTER
Soil is Injured and Better Results
Can Be Obtained By Using
Less Water

E. C. Mcclellan, an irrigation en-
gineer from Nevada spent Monday
in Twin Falls and gave an interview
on that country and on irrigation
which was published in the Twin
Falls Times.
Mr.. Mcclellan started in by stat
ing that this arid region between the
Rocky Mountains and the Cascade
and Sierra Nevada ranges was popu-
lated a few thousand years ago by
an agricultural people, and that as
the climatic conditions were the
same then as now they dry farmed
the land and were able to raise a
family on about fifteen or twenty
acres of land to the family. And he
says the ruins of their habitations
scattered from Boise on the north,
as far north as he has been, to south
of the Humboldt valley.
His next statement was that for
eight years he had charge Of irriga-
tion on his fathers ranch near Reno
where the annual precipitation is
nine inches, and successfully raised
all kinds of crops by the use of an
additional eight inches of water sup
piled by irrigation, or total of sew
enteen inches. He then quoted the
head of the reclamation service as
stating that twelve inches per acre
was ordinarily sufficient for use in
irrigation and after that quoted
from the agricultural experiment
Station at Logan, Utah, that twelve
inches is the maximum that should
be applied for ordinary crops and
that better results were secured
when there was five and one-half
inches of soil moisture and precipi-
tation and the same amount applied
in irrigation for raising corn.
Mr.. Mcclellan gave two new points
of view regarding the use of water
The first is that nature has adapted
our food plants to certain average
amount of moisture supply to the
soil. Man has increased the bearing

 Arkansas has taken wonderful strides in various agricultural pur- suits and progress ill recent years, ac- cording to Stastics! compiled in the of flee of John H. Page, commissioner of agriculture, which will go into his biennial report Farm property, ac- cording to the commissioner, has an aggregate value of $4O0,OS9,3O3, an increase of more than 120 per cent since 1900. Of this farm lands had a value of $246,021 ,45O, showing an in- crease of 134 per cent, and the re- mainder of the aggregate increase was in building, implements and stock.
 According to the last estimate, which is incorporated in Mr. Pages report, farm crops in Arkansas were valued at $119,419,025.
 While cotton is Arkansas chief rev. enue crop, few people know that there are more acres of Arkansas soil plant ed in corn than in cotton. Statistics prove it. While there are 2,153,222 acres of land planted in cotton, there are 2,277,116 planted in corn. The es- innate shows that Arkansas produced 776,S79 bales of cotton, the year the estimate was made, and 37,609,54i bushels of corn, yet cotton was the dominant crop.
 The value of dairy products produc- ed in Arkansas a year is $6,5S7,426, ex- elusive of milk and butter consumed on the farms. The number of gallons of milk produced was S3,0S1,S75, and the pounds of butter produced aggre- gate 29,907,337 Honey, too, forms no little part of the products of Ar kansas farms, for in one year 913,515 pounds were produced by the busy lit tie bees and sold by farmers.

DEFICIT FROM
 FERTILIZER TAX OFFICIALS OF THE STATE FACE 4 SERIOUS FINANCIAL
 PROBLEM.
DECLARES LEGISLATURE LAX
Failure to Enact Law Providing For inspection of Fertilizer Handi-
 caps Department.
Little Rock.

The adjournment of the Legislature
 without making an appropriation for the maintenance of the law respecting
 the inspection of fertilizers leaves the
 State Department of Agriculture se- rlOusly handicapped and promises to
 make the enforcement of the law prac- ticalIy null, as 1t provides no means for the expense or salary of the eight inspectors heretofore supported by the department.
 Two attempts were made during the legislative session to secure an appro- priatiOn for the department, one by special bill carrying 71.000 and the other by an amendment to the general appropriation bill, carrying approxi- mately S49,000. The former bill was slaughtered In the Senate, and the lat ter attempt to provide for the depart ment also met it's doom in the Senate, the amendment by the House being re- iected.
 Commissioner Page, desirous of en- forcing the inspection, asked Attorney General Moose for ruling on the question of whether or not a specific appropriation is required. The en- forcement of the law, so far as eX- penses are concerned, is provided for by tax on the fertilizer sold in the state. The proceeds of this sax are paid into the state treasury, under the af II, Since 1t is collected strictly for the enforcement of the law, MT Page is of the opinion that a specific appro- priatfon by the Legislature is not nee essary. and that he can carry out the law and draw on the fund to meet ex- penses of enforcement by simply cer- tifying the expenses to the state au- dttor He has asked a ruling from the attorney general on this point
 During the last administration it was necessary to declare such a def- ciency to the amount of S10,S0O for the support of the department, and this was accordingly paid by the re- cent Legislature through appropria- IlOA HUH lI1e 1eit1lZ6F Iu1Q. iL Is presumed that a similar proclamation would be given similar treatment by the next Legislature.
 During the past two years a consid- erable fund was accumulated for the enforcement of the law, the total fees from this source being about $40,QO0. When the Legislature convened, in ad- dition to paying the S10,800 deficit out of the fund it borrowed $22,500 from the fund for it's own expenses, leav- ing the fund close to rock bottom. It has since accumulated about S5,000, now on deposit in the state treasury. Without the enforcement of the law farmers throughout the state will be unable to secure proper protection from Irresponsible concerns selling commercial fertilizer, thousands of tons of which are sold annually throughout the state
