IRRIGATION OF SURPLUS LANDS
Continued from Page II

inside of the casing Taken as it
stands it would easily irrigate an
8O-acre ranch so far as quantity goes
A stream of this size, however, un-
less it were first collected in a res
ervoir would be best adapted to crops
which are cultivated in rows: such
as vegetables, fruit trees, cotton, etc.
Such a stream as that of we'll No. 2
when properlyhandled could be used
for alfalfa or grain. AS suggested
before, the size of irrigating head
may always be increased by adding
more wells and coupling them to-
gether. With deeper wells, such as
cur 12-inch No. 1, in which the per-
forations could be located in the
coarser gravels, the discharges must
become still freer.
The Mesa Ground.
CD The mesa land lying within
and near the townsite of Parker
could probably best be cultivated by
pumping water with centralized
plant at the river near the railroad.
IT. lies about Is feet above the river.
The soil is lighter, more sandy than
that of the bottom lands. and would
be benefited by the silt carried in
river water. Several wells have been
sunk on this higher ground in which
COCO water bearing gravels are strucle
at about river level, but the consid-
frable depth required makes the or
ieinal cost high and largely increases
the practical difficulties and cost of
pumping from them. In pumping
water from the river the effect of
draw down would be eliminated and
he economies of a concentrated
plant working on a large scale would
tie secured
The need Of this irrigation water
IN The town proper for lawns, trees,
gardens, etc, would seem to amply
Justify the cost of delivering it for
those pu Loses.
The srCnnd around the town, when
considered in connection with the
climate should be suitable for the
growing OF citrus fruits and other
crops, and could be reclaimed by.
pump Irrigation at a cost for water
supply We'll within the limits consid-
e1ed practicable in other parts of the

CARRIED THE HONEY BACK
Bees Proved They Had Something to
Say About the Disposition of
Their Product

A farmer possessed few swarms
called box hives. Inside there were
small boxes, which would hold about
two or three pounds of honey each, an
exchange says. About eight of these
were placed on the top of the hive, and
as at least one side of each box was of
glass, the keeper could easily look
into the hive and see when the boxes
were filled with honey.
The farmer usually chose to do this
early IN the morning, before the bees
came out to begin the labors of the
day, or at night when they had fin
lshed them. Bees do not like to have
their dwelling places molested, and
usually try to sting the intruder
One day some friends were at the
farmers house and as they wanted
honey the farmer thought he would
venture to take it out in the after
noon. He knew that some of the boxes
were quite full. The hives stood few
rods from the house, and Oh that side
or the house were large doors lead
ing into the cellar. While the boxes
were partly OF glass, the bottom of
each was made of little Stats, so that
the bees could go in and out as they
liked.
The farmer took out several boxes.
carried them into the cellar, shut the
cellar doors nearly together, and hur-
rled away. He put the boxes into the
cellar in order to allow any bees
which might be in them to fly out and
return to the hive. But, in his haste
to avOld being stung, the farmer left
the doors open too much, so that the
cellar was quite light, whereas it
should have been dark.
The bees were so excited, and en-.
ragged that they flew in all directions,
attacking everyone who came in their
way When suppertime came there
were so many bees flying about the
cellar doors that no one cared to go
near them. Early the next morning
the farmer looked out Of the dining
room window and observed that the
air was still full of bees.
At about ten o'clock he looked again
and not a bee could be seen. He went
down and brought up the boxes. But,
instead of being heavy with honey, as
they were the day before when taken
from the hive, they were almost as
light as air, being filled only with
empty combs. The bees had worked
with a will and had carried all the
honey back to the hives.

Federal Employment Bureau
But One of Many Achieve
ments of the Wilson
Administration.
MONEY FOR CROP MOVING
Rural Credits, Federal Reserve Act,
Good Roads, Grain Standards
and Many Other
Benefits.
BY FRANK G. ODELL.


Do you know that your post office
is now an employment bureau? That
is one of the new things Uncle Sam
has started during the present Adj
ministratiOn Secretary Wilson of the
Department of Labor has tackled the
task of bringing the j0bless man and
the manless Job together and now
every post office is an agency Of the
United States employment service.
The postmaster is equipped with
blanks for listing applications for la
bOr or for employment and is instruct
ed to help get the worker and the job
in contact.
While this might appear to be prin
cipally in the interest of the worker
it is really one of the numerous far
reaching things started for the bene-
fit Of the farmer by the Adninistra-
ton of President Wilson. The increas-
ing scarcity of farm labor has become
a problem to the farmer especially
in the wheat-g growing and fruit-grow-
ing sections. This labor, which is of Il
seasonal character, necessarily must
be performed largely by itinerant
workers. Some agency which will
meet this demand and relieve the Ia
borer of the graft of employment
agencies is necessary. Uncle Sam has
started it,
A single illustration will show how
the system works: in the Willamette
Valley of Oregon thousands of tenn
porary workers are needed in hop
picking time. On August 20 the Ore
gon Journal of Portland printed a
news article about the new govern
ment employment agency, stating
that six hundred families could OBJ
tain immediate employment in the
hop yards by applying at the Portland
division of the Federal employment
service.
This is another item added to the
mass of accommodating evidence which
shows that the Wilson Administration
has tried to give both labor and the
farmer square deal. For the first
time in history, this Administration
has placed the needs of rural districts

WINS BOUNDARY DISPUTE.

Word was received here Wednes-
day that Maricopa has won the suit
against Yuma county over the dis
puted western boundary line.
The hearings were had before a
referee appointed by the supreme
court and took place at Phoenix.
Yuma and Tucson, and the referee
has filed his report, giving Maricopa
the disputed tract, which is four
miles wide and six miles long.
1t is important, as including be-
tween six and seven miles of rail
road and as settling the claim for
refund of back taxes which has
been made against this county by the
railroads involved.
1t was claimed by Yuma county
that the line as surveyed did not
follow the statutory provision fix
ing the western boundary of Mari
copa at 113 degrees and 20 minutes
of west longitude.

silk From Sawdust.


Making artificial silk from sawdust
and other lumber waste is the latest
experiment Of the United States forest
products laboratory at Madison, Wis.
The use of artificial silk made direct
ly from wood is increasing by leaps
and bounds. Originally it's principal
use was in the manufacture of braids
and trimmings, but recently the manu-
facture of hose from artificial silk has
become an industry of vast impor-
tance. Other uses for artificial silk
are woven goods Of all kinds, Innings,
tapestries, ETC., neckties, ribbons
sweater coats, etc. About 5000, 900
pounds OF artificial silk are used an
nually in the United States. There
are several methods of manufacture
but that from wood pulp is usually
made by treating the wood pulp with
caustlc lye to form a viscOse, which
is allowed to age for some time 1t
Is then forced through dies to form
threads, which are hardened by
treatment with sulphuric acid, ammo
MUM sulphate, and sodium borate, or
fOrmic acid. After washing and dry
ing, the silk is ready for use The
laboratory is investigating the arti-
fetal silk problem as a possibility for
utilizing wood waste, and has on hand
a variety OF articles made from the
material. l.-BCston Transcript.

squareTy before Congress as of equal
ciaI centers.
And why not? Financial centerS
would not amount to much without the
nine-billiOn-dOllar crop of the Ameri-
can farmer. But the interests of the
farmer have not always been so promi-
nently and favorably considered by
Congress as they have during the past
three years. The record of Democrat
ic claims for farmer support is rec
ord of accomplishment. 1t reads like
this in the passage of laws and admin
iStrative acts:
What Has Been Done for the Farmer.
CURRENCY REFORM The Fed
eral Reserve Act under which the
farmers paper is given special con-
sideration, including permission to
National Banks to loan on the security
of farm lands.
RURAL CREDITS: An epoch-mak-
ing legislative measure which will re-
ieve the farmer of the incubus Of the
short time loan at eXtOrtiOnate inter-
est. This measure alone, when in
full force, will save the farmers of the
United States one hundred and fifty
million dollars annually in interest
charges.
GOOD ROADS: Seventy-five mil
lion dollars made available for the
development of roads from the farm
to the market, under conditions which
will prevent wasteful use of the money.
AGRICULTURAL. EXTENSION f:
The passage of the Smith-Lever Act
brings to every American farm,
through the joint cooperation of the
Federal Government and the States,
the help of these agencies in solving
he business problems of the farmer.
COTTON FUTURES ACT: Deals
Il death blow to gambling in this great
staple.
UNITED STATES WAREHOUSE
ACT: Enables owners of stored prod
ucts TO obtain loans on warehouse
receipts more nearly approXimating the
full value of the product.
GRAIN STANDARDS \ law en-
acted last August authorizes the See
retary of Agriculture to establish Off
cial grain standards This law is
working. The farmer who has been
robbed through juggled grain grades
for years will appreciate it's value.
CROP MOVING: "'he surplus funds
of the Treasury Department have been
placed directly in the banks Of the
South and West to aid in moving crops
during the customary season of money
shortage.
INTEREST ON GOVERNMENT DE
POSITS: Banks holding government
deposits are now required to pay two
per cent interest. This cuts off big
graft which formerly came from the
free use of huge sums of the peoples
money. More than one million dollars
revenue annually is now derived from
this source alone.
IMPROVED MARKETING SYS-
TEN: The farmer has for years felt
the power Of the market combine,
with its waste, inetficiency and dis
honesty The office of Markets and
the Rural Organization Service. eS-
tabliShed in the Department Of Agri-
culture during this Administration. are
working on scientific lines TO promote
better marketing and cooperative bust
ness organization among farmers.

QUICK RESPONSES
 TO WILSON'S CALL
Seventeen States Stand at Atten-
 tion When Baker Opens Desk

Washington, June 19.-Responses from governors of the states to Pres ident Wilson's call on the national guard for service along the Mexican border reached the war department today in rapid succession. By the time Secretary Baker was at his desk seventeen states had been heard from announcing that mobilization was in progress.
 The messages were substantially identical and followed this general form:
 Telegram received and mobiliza- ton in progress as directed"
 None contained any estimate of the time required to get the troops under arms.
 Secretary Baker reiterated the statement that none of the guards men affected by the new order would
New Britain herald., 1916-06-19

be sent to the border until Gen. Fl ton decided where and when he wi ed them. The men will be held state mobilization points until mus ed into the federal service.
 If the entire force is not immedi ly desired for border service the |, not sent south probably will granted furlough until such time they may be required to relieve regiments sent immediately, or reinforce the border line in event of open hostilities with { ranza troops.
 It is certain, however, that entire force, the minimum strer of which will be upwards of 100 men, will be held under arms two weeks or a month, while the 1 cesses of muster into the federal vice and of equipment are being wt ed out.
 The first seventeen states he from today were Oregon, Geor Maine, Indiana, Montana, Color, Idaho, Illinois. North Dakota, O Virginia, Washington, Mississippi ' mont, Tennessee, Missouri and ] York.
 Chairmen Chamberlain and Ha, the senate and similar men were s moned to the White House for a ( ference early in the day.
