The Recorder honestly wants to be
helpful-to make this Christmas is
sue of value to it's readers, and not to
seem to be critical and fault-fnding
But it can figure out no other way
that it might bring SO much general
good as in seeking to bring about an
era of better crops.
Suppose, for instance, that the
general average of all the wheat rails
ed on the Richfeld tract could be
raised to the average maintained by
SO of the good farmers-that would
mean $4,000 bushels more of wheat;
in 1914 that was worth more than
$4,000 in cash. Clear gain for
better farming not costing
cent?
Suppose that the oats yield could
be brought up to the average of the
SO good farmers Shat would bring
$4,000 more bushels of grain to the
Richfield tract in one year. Would
MT the horses and COWS and chickens
have a jolly Christmas on that?

receivable average, from the drab

and 4.6 tons respectively, and in
1914, the average S show 2.45 for
the common run of farming and 5.22
tons per acre for the better farming
For 1915, the figures were 2.03 and
1903 tons respectively.
Any lesson in all that for you
any Christmas gift that you can give
yourself and your family?
These better farmers haven't any
better land than any of their neigh
bors. Most of them have come here
with very little money-they'r not
capitalists doing fancy farming They
are not fishermen, or politicians, or
trouble hunters they're just farm
ers. But they farm Their figures
show it,
It's not fattering to irrigation, to
have such records as the above gem
yield. Thank goodness, it's not nee
essary. When the averages of so or
dinarily good farmers are taken, and
in all cases show a large increase
in several cases two and almost three
times the general average-it shows
that the fault isn't in the climate,
the soil, the water supply the laws,
the company, in anything but the
farmers ability and care.
1t was noticed that in most of the
cases above, the better yields are
from medium or small farms; the
average size being considerably un-
der the general average for acreage

the company's daily reports for the
past five years, where the ditch rid

observers record their impressions Of

the politicians, the disconnected ones,
the poor-crop victims, to see what

their names 1t wouldn't do to be
personal at this Christmas time,
when everyone should be at peace
with himself and his neighbor-

WATER MEASUREMENT

Will be equipped with a weir and
headgate from which the water can
be accurately measured for distribu-
ton. In the past, more water has
been supplied than the water con-
tract calls for; more than good agri-
cultural usage would permit. There
was, and will continue to be, a great
surplus of water in the Company

more than sufficient, it would be bet
ter to have the flow brought down
to what can be utilized most profit
ably-and no more. Don Bark, re-

trying to grab more to ruin their

farms that average less than 40 acres
too-they didn't have the money
when they had the big farms.
The average farm holding on the
Idaho Irrigation Company tract is
more than 80 acres, it is understood.
1t takes a trained business skill to
run that kind of a farm, a larger
capital than most men have or can
ever get under the half-good condi-
lions of farming too much land.
There's another thing, too-the
average yield is distressingly low,
because of these too-big farms, this
too-little capital, this lack of farm
business experience.
ed, that he took the crop records as
compiled for the Idaho Irrigation
Company for the past five years;
taking the average for the whole
acreage in every kind of principal
product, and then taking the aver
age production on the farms of fifty
of the better farmers. Not just TAX
ing the potatoes of a man who rails
ed potatoes and nothing else, or an
exceptional wheat or barley crop and
nothing else; but the whole crop re-
port of farmers who had at least
four, or all five, of the principal
crops raised here-wheat, oats, bar
ley, potatoes, alfalfa. Sometimes
one of these crops would fall to- al
most nothing even in good farm
er's hands=but it was put in to
make a truthful average of the better
farming.
What difference do you suppose
there is in the yields of the total av-
erage and of the fifty better farm
ers-even counting the partial fail
ures that some of these better farm
ers made for some years? And not
taking the same farmers every year
straight through, but mixing them up
all over the project, SO that the aver
age gives the possibilities of every
farm, every locality?
Well, in 1911, the average wheat
yield was 1877 bushels per acre; SO
better men who raised at least four
of the principal crops, though per-
haps not all raised wheat that year
produced an average of 27.5 bushels
or a little more than twice as
much. The cost, as everyone knows,
IS practically the same for a poor
crop as for a good one-it takes a
nto- it. In 1912, the wheat averages
we're 17.5 and 31.5 bushels respect |

n 1914, 1854 and 1873 bushels;
md in 1915, 1871 and ALB bushels,
respectively.
In 1911, the general average for
'ats was 25.9 bushels; the average
or so good farmers with at least four

GOOD LAND TITLES

The most important event of the
year on the Idaho Irrigation Com
pany project, was the issuance of
government patent for $4,000 acres
of the Carey act land. The patent
was issued to the state early in the
year, and the state, as soon as the
clerical work could be done, issued
individual deeds to all the properly
qualified land holders. Most of the
deeds are already on record in the
county seat.
Heretofore, there has been no
source from which money could be
borrowed save the small sums of pri-
vate money to be loaned on chattel
sucurity or on personal notes, at a
high rate of interest. Few farmers
have had enough capital to properly
stock and equip their farms; they
needed a little more credit than their
chattels or their notes would bring.
And the local interest rate, too, was
prohibitive; one can hardly hope to
make the farm pay at such rate.
But now that the land is decided,
money can be made available for long
time loans, at reasonable rate of
interest-real estate loans usually go
for about one-half the rate of chat
tel mortgages. The few strenuous
years of shortage in capital will have
taught even the least provident that
if he borrows money, he must make
it earn something for him; and the
percentage of loans that go for auto
mobiles or fine clothes will be just a
little less than none at all. Every
dollar of real estate loan that comes
here, can be counted on as that much
of a permanent asset. The coming
year ought to see a great increase in
this form of working capital, SO that
another Christmas ought to find more
prosperity than ever
1t doesn't really help any man to
have the title to his land lying in
the county seat, instead of merely to
still have it coming to him from the
government that could not fail to
issue it in the end-but it's a COM
forting fact nevertheless, to know
that you've got it! Well, it's here
and no Christmas sock can be en-
tirely barren with such a comforting
belief to stick down in the toe of
said sock as one of the years
1t might be said that the U. S.
Government, in making its report on
the Issuance of this patent, said
some of the finest things ever said
about reclamation project. These
remarks covered every essential of
a good project and it's recommends
tion-the sufficiency of the water
supply, of its storage capacity, of it's
dam and canal construction, and of
Its management. The government is
sued its patent on every acre of land
to which there was clear title;
holding up few isolated tracts
around the rims of the various seq
regatiOns, where the maps were not
clear or where there was a question
rs to the amount of land available on
he irregular forties. On all of these
% which the water can be applied,
he patent will be issued, without
hubble. The settlement and the
governments o. K. to the project
should crafty every land holder on
he project; it is a testimonial that
many an enterprise would give a lot
# money to get in some other way
han by earning it as fairly as it has
'een earned here
