RECLAMATION EMPLOYEES
p MAY SERVE ON THE
DIRECTORY

Just prior to the last annual cleo
ton of directors in the Boise govern
ment reclamation project some ques-
ton arose as to the eligibility of gov
eminent employees to become direc-
tors of the local water users associa-
ton. AS there may still be doubt in
the minds of some members of the
Payette- Boise Water Users associa-
ton we publish letter from Mr.. w.
A. Ryan. acting director of the RecIa-
nation Service.
Mr.. w. E. MCGEE at one time
thought of becoming a candidate for
director. He even started canvass
when his attention was called to his
possible eniligibility. He wrote the
Reclamation Service. The reply fol-
lows:
Department of the Interior
United States Reclamation Service
Washington, D. c., Jan. "a. '16.
Mr., w. f. MCGEE,
RID No. a.
Nampa, Idaho.
My dear Mr.. MCGEE:
Your letter of January 10, 1916, to
Hon. Franklin K. Lane. Secretary of
the Interior. has been referred to this
office for Reply.
1t appears there is some doubt in
the minds of several of the members
of the Payette-Boise Water Users as
ISOLATION whether a ditch rider in the
employ of the Reclamation Service
can hold office as a director of the
association.
1t is presumed this question arose
from the fact that for a person to be
qualified for the Office of director in a
water users association he must, as
one of the necessary requirements, be
a landowner under the project.
The rulings of the secretary prohibit
superintendent of irrigation, engineers
or other officers or employees in re-
sponsible charge of reclamation pro-
ject or unit thereof from acquiring any
interest in property within that pro-
ject. This prohibition does not ex-
tend to laborers or assistants whose
duties are confined to carrying out in
structions given by chiefs, but only to
such men as initiate and put into effect
those matters which are left, to judg-
ment and discretion. Under this rul-
ing a ditch rider would be classed as
an employee carrying out instructions
given by chief. and therefore entitl-
ed to hold land under the r,cject.
Very truly yours.

THE RESOLVING HABIT.

Some very sensible remarks are
made by The Caldwell Tribune on TIL.
"resoluting" habit which the CONNER
cial Club of that place. like similar
bodies of other places, has fallen in.
to. The occasion of the remarks wa:
preparedness resolution, in which
the club decided which was the pro.
per plan for the whole country with
not so much debate as if it were to
appoint or not to appoint a dog
catcner or an extra patrolman.
Says The Tribune:
Some little time ago the secre-
tary OF war after months of study
and of close consultation with men
of experience and knowledge sub
mitted plan for the re-organiza-
ton of the army establishment or
the. country. The President of the.
United States has given this sub
Ject very close study. We assume
that he has because he has consti-
tuted himself an authority on the
subject. The President and secre-
tary of war, both brilliant capable
and thorough-going students, were
unable to agree in every par
ticular. The secretary of war re-
signed. In the meantime the mat
ter was submitted to the Cald-
we'll Commercial Club. In
breezy, off-hand manner the whole
controversy was settled in the
twinkling of an eye. So far as
the members of the commercial
club of Caldwell are concerned
the program of this country, per-
ihaps for SO years to come. has
been settled"
1t does not necessarily follow, to be
sure. that the decision of the club
Will be adopted or that it will have
any effect in the final outcome. But
the point is that the club, in passing
so lightly upon matters of so great
weight-matters which require lone
study of minds trained to- the task
is cheapening its own influence. "The
chatterbox." says The Tribune, "is NOT
given credit for "reat wisdom notwithl
standing his facility of expression"
The habit of being trivial about mat
tiers of wide public Importance should
never be encouraged by commercial
clubs or any other representative citi-

orchardists in Idaho to use the lime
sulphur solution. This should be ap-
piled during the dormant stage in
large orchards or just as the buds are
beginning to swell where the number
of trees to be treated is small and can
be covered in brief time. The con-
centrated lime sulphur diluted at the
rate of one gallon of the lime sulphur
to eight gallons of water. This work
should not be done when the tempera-
ture is below freezing point or when
the trees are wet since the dilution of
the spray would lessen its efficiency.
In the case of severe infestation it is
best to spray in the fall after the
leaves are shed and to follow this
with another in the spring. In very
severe cases it will be practicable to
spray in the early days of March and
again later just as the buds are swell
ing. A very important point in the
control of the San Jose scale is the
destruction of all infected trees or
shrubs which it would not be profit
able to save.
1t is also advisable in the case OF
badly infested trees of large size to
prune severely, especially with regard
60 lowering the top, before the spray
ing is commenced. This, together
with the removal of all dead and use
less wood will much facilitate the ap-
plication of the spraying material.
More effective work can be done with
a power sprayer using at least two
hundred pounds pressure. The success
OF the work depends largely on very
thorough application.
In spraying old orchards the spray
ing outfit should be equipped with a
tower or elevated platform on which
an operator may stand to spray
thoroughly the tops of the older trees.
This tower may be constructed either
OF suitable wooden pieces or of gal
vanized steel bars. 1t should be
strongly made, securely braced, and
fastened to the truck, the platform
surrounded by guard rails to avoid
accidents to the operator Some man
ufacturers equip their machines with
a tower so made that it can be re-
moved at the convenience of the oper-
ator.
Accessories.
Nothing but high grade six or seven
ply hose should be used on power
sprayers as the high pressure under
which they operate soon destroys
poor, cheap hose, and it is false eco
nomy to use low grade. The leads for
use by operator standing on the
ground should be from thirty-fve to
forty feet in length so as to permit of
movement through a wide range in
dependently ofs the machine, thus
avoiding conflict with the fellow oper-
ators and the team. Extension rods
or pipes are necessary in all kinds of
spraying work. Select nozzle throw
ing fine spray. All spraying outfits
should be fitted with gauges so the
operator will know at all times
whether he is using at least two hun
bred pounds pressure.

EFFECT OF PRIMARY ON
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
North Idaho News. Demo.)

\ANSi 80 haoho 4NSWS, NOlllo.J
Comparisons may be odious. They
may be diverting also. The COMPARE
son of The Caldwell Tribune of Ex-
Congressman Thomas r. Hamer,
chairman of the Lincoln Day celebra-
ton at Boise. with present Congress
man McCracken, belongs to the latter
class.
"The former by force of charac-
ter, courage of heart and strength
of intellect would stand among
men anywhere in the world" is the
way The Tribune expresses 1t.
The other by his apparent Peck
sneffian hypocrisy, vacuity of
object Of contempt to his warmest
friends"
AS to the cause of this decline in
the craftsmanship of the Republican
party, one may agree with The Tri-
bune as to its existence without agree
ing also as to its cause:
The ultimate result of the
present system was the displace-
ment of men like Col. Thomas R.
Hamer by men like Mr.. Robert
M. McCracken. 1t Is beautiful
system"
We cannot understand why the
rank and file of the Republican party
are not capable of choosing their
leaders. If they cannot be trusted in
the primaries how can they be trusted
to exercise wisdom at the general cleo
tions? 1t appears to US that a party
where so small thing as this beau
tiful systematic primary, apparently
transforms its leadership from
craftsmanship to assininity is in dan
ger and exposure almost any time.

WINE OF CARDUI WAS FAVORITE TONIC OF

 Drinking Wine of Cardui

Chicago, April 1.-The testimony of Milo T. Crouch, farmer, living near Sardis, Tex, as to his fondness for drink. caused amusement today in the $30O.O00 libel suit of John R. and z. c.

The basis of the libel, it is charged, lay in calling Wine of Cardui, owned by the Pattens, nostrum.
 Crouch testified that his wife was "bit- terly opposed" to his heavy drinking dur ing the last 15 years.
 But" said Crouch, q never said noth- ing to her about the way she hit up the Wine of Cardui, and she's been at that a long time.'
 When asked as to how his wife had he said: "She heard about it from other women. First, she took it with a spoon; then she got to tipping up. the bottle and gulpng it down. She'd drink a third of a bottle before breakfast sometimes

 FOR FLOOD CONTROL
Declares That Congress Should Con-

Washington, April 1.-The report of who, at the request of President Wilson drew up a plan of comprehensive flood control and river improvement, was laid before the House flood control committee today by Senator sNewands. It suggests continuing and definite policy, to be carried out under the direction of water ways council, headed by the President, national bonds The scheme is expected to form the basis of a measure which will become part of the administration legislative programme as soon as details are agreed upon.
 The cabinet officials recommended that Congress commit itself to a comprehen- sive policy of river development involving the expenditure over a long period of a large sum- with sufficient appropriations immediately for continuing the work on the lower Mississippi substantially in ac- cordance with the plans of the Mississippi river commission.

WHAT WILL GERMANY
 THINK? IS FEATURE
 OF DUTCH WAR PLANS
Little Possibility That England Will Land Her New Armies on the Dutch C0ast-WouId Be
 POwerless

Amsterdam, April 4.-(via London ) q do not for moment suggest that there is a possibility of Great Britain landing her new armies on the Dutch coast" said former Minister of War Colyn today in an interview regarding recent mysterious military preparations in Holland. We have the assurance of Great Britain that she will respect our neutrality and we rely on that as surance. But the question is what does Germany think of this?
 'If the Germans begin seriously to be afraid of such contingency, what influence will$that have on Germany s attitude inaugurated toward us? We must assume that she is acquainted with our defensive capacity. If she judges that capacity inadequate, and considers that British incursion into Germany through Holland is to be feared, would it then be strange if we were approached from the German side with proposals to which we cannot sub init, because they would mean the abandonment of our neutrality toward the allies?
 T know that against this it may be said that the British will not make landing in Holland, and that if they tried we are quite incapable of stop ping a British march eastward or southeastward. But that is not relevant. The question is not what we think but what the Germans think"
