.,. the present crop we have exert
a every effort TO secure for you ev-
., hit of available water. As you
.a,e been heretofore advised there .
a. ma escape from short water

:. the Snake River IT became neces-
cary 10 draw on stored water Six
marks earlier than last year. You

-, stored water by next Monday
am giving this notice that the
,re..nt head of water Will continue
in the Jerome District until about

,.,c, until Tuesday and the Bliss Dis
,r,c, until Wednesday. after which
,he water delivery will be very much
reduced advise everyone to make
the most OF the present supply ana
all cisterns should be filled.

.oo feet for the remainder OF the
..osnn Our present plan Is TO ac-
c,mulatc this In Wilson Lake until
there IS a good irrigating head and
then turn it down. In this way
mink we can get through the season
and save most. II not all, Of the grass
Seeding and potatoes and give stock

lob here and will do all | can 10 help
make the crop Please do all you
ran to make every bit OF water count.
There have been only two years
IN the past eighteen when this con-
dltion existed. There is no need for
alarm.-only use horse sense Re
member that repeated cultivation OF
corn. potatoes and beans will DO
much toward saving the crops.
Prices will be good You can AFFORD
to make the effort
We are pushing the work at jack
son Lake Reservoir as fast as posi-
Bile and hope soon TO have this ques-
ton OF water supply thing OF the
past
In my recent trips TO all parts OF
this project have been very much
pleased with the progress that is be-
ing made All crops. with but very
few exceptions are Ia fine condition
all OF the early sown grain will make
a bumper crop want TO call atten
ton to my articles in the papers last
March on this swbject. Those who
put I'm their crops late will see th'
importance OF early seeding another
year Those who intend TO grow win
ter wheat should be thinking abou
Il now Get the ground In COOL
condition \ good seed bed Is o
great importance II means goo
root system TO the plant You can
have thrifty growth without goo
roots 1t pays TO have your winte
wheat In the ground by Sepiembe
LIST Use good seed Turkey Red
proven good milling wheat. Fal
pillow all ground intended for sprin
grain. The soner the better ate
crops are harvested The reason
that the ground can take up NOR
nitrogen from the air Your Gro
yield will largely depend upon tn
amount of nitrogen In the groun'
Without II. no matter how well yo
attend to the crop or how much WI
ter you put on It your crop Will ne
pay. With early fall plowing. goo
