GOVERNOR ALEXANDER
AND FIRE PROTECTION
DECLINES VOTE ON PROPOSED
APPROPRIATION TO PRO-
TEcT STATE TIMBER.

Governor Alexander passed the
buck" to other members of the state
land board Wednesday by excusing
himself from voting when a resolution
asking for an appropriation of $4,000
from the legislature for timber fire
protection in north Idaho and a second
appropriation of $4,000 to pay up the
back fees owed by the state to the fire
protection association was presented
and passed.
The board some days ago in bud
get filed with the appropriations COM
mittee asked for 100000 for timber fire
protection. The governor Wednesday
urged that this be cut to $4,000. Miss
Ethel e. Redfield and Attorney Cen
eral Walters objected as did Clarence
Van Deusen, state auditor, and Land
Commissioner Smoot.
In discussion of the matter the gov
ernor said he had learned that large
appropriation often promoted fires.
Walters Objects.
ATTORNEY General Walters replied
that one big fire would cost the state
more money than the land board could
save by pruning appropriations. He
said he wanted an appropriation OF
$4,000 on principle for the 100000
acres of land the state owns in the
timbered section of the north, be-
"a i,,u OF Cinpn
porations saw fit to spend large sums
to protect their interests.
The governor demanded a roll call,
adding: 1.-THE governor will excuse
himself from voting" And he did.
The other members voted for the APP
preparation.
In the past the state has appropri-
ated $4,000 every two years for the
protection of its timber from fire.
An hour was spent by the board in
passing around jobs in the land de-
partment. The chief clerks were CIV

$3.50 a month Stenographers and the

Lesson From Experience on the Com
stock Lode, Nevada.

The importance of adequate fire pro-
lection facilities is shown by the fol-
lowing occurrence during an unwater-
ing project on the Comstock lode, New
ada. A fire broke out at the 1900 level

mains connected each to a 200 hp.
pump and passing directly through the
zone of fire. there was no way Of get
ting water on the fire as no connec-
tons had been put in for such pur-
poses and it was impossible to install
such In the gas and smoke so the
blaze could not be readily extinguish-
ed
There We're AT nand a number of
chemical fire extinguishers which
were used When they were turned
upon the fire in the necessarily poor
vntilation underground, the resulting
carbon dioxide promptly drove the men
using them away from the fire and did
not seem to reduce the blaze material
ly, In the installation of any mine
plant, there should be In
cluded at every station or convenient
location in the pump column, valves
for the outlet of water in case of fire
and the pumpmen should have orders
that If they have to leave the pump on
account of fire, to leave it running so
that there will be right at hand, a
most effective defense in case of fire.

serve Water Pumped.

That the farm windmill should play
an important part this year in the
great food-production campaign. is the
belief of III. B. Walker, drainage and
irrigation engineer, Kansas State Agri-
cultural college.
"The farm windmill should be no

Walker. at should be ready day and
night to absorb the energy of the wind
to lift water for thirsty gardens. Lack
of timely rainfall Is often the doom of
an otherwise carefully handled and
tended vegetable garden.
This year the farm garden will be
an important factor in reducing the
cost of living. Accordingly, every pre-
caution should be taken to prevent
failure Of the garden crops. In those
areas where the natural rainfall is not
dependable, some simple method of ir-
rigation should be provided

water internationally and at q slow
rate. Consequently, if the water
pumpeI is allowed TO flow directly onto
the warm, dry SOIL small area only
can be satisfactorily covered. A small
triclfling flow does not spread laterally
over the surface of the soil, but it per-
colates deeply into the soil beyond the
reach of the shallOw-rOoted vegetables.
If the water lifted, on the other
hand, is stored in tanks, barrels, or
reservoirs, a volume sufficiently large
can be secured in a surprisingly short
time to effectively irrigate much
larger area. A barrel of water con-
tanning 311a gallons will cover a gar
den bed six feet wide by eight feet
long, one inch deep. A quantity of
water even as small as this, if properly
applied. will greatly help the lettuce

A reservoir sufficiently large TO hold

can pump in three or four days is
much more desirable.

INCREASE YIELD BY PRUNING
Pinch Off Center Buds, Thus Throwing
Energy of Plants to Formation
and Ripening of Fruit.

The yield and quality of many veg
etables can be increased by pruning
and pinching off center buds, thus
throwing the energy of the plants to
the formation and ripening of fruit.
With muskmelons and cantaloupes
always pinch off the center bud of the
main vine when it reaches a length Of
four or five feet, says writer. Gu
cumbers are treated in a like manner.
Such treatment results in increased
size OF the fruit and a Fastening of
maturity. For the same reason the
ends of pole and lima bean vines are
pinched off when they reach a height
of six feet.
Tomato vines expected to yield an
early crop are pruned severely. But
three stalks are allowed TO develop, all
side shoots being plnched off as soon
as they begin to form. The three stalks
are firmly supported by stake four
feet in height.
When the vines reach the top Of the
stake the center bud is pinched out.
This stops height growth and throws
all the energy of the vine TO the de-
veloping and ripening of fruit already
set. By following this method 1 have
obtained as high as 40 fine, perfect
tomatoes from a single plant.

WAR GARDENS FOR EVERYONE
ing for Brotherhood and Peace,
Says Dean Woods.

Every family should have its own
garden this year. ITO do so will be TO
release supplies for the armies that
are fighting for brotherhood and
peace" says Dean A. F. Woods Of the
Minnesota College of Agriculture.
ITO hasten the close of the war"
adds Dean Woods, 'we must feed the
people in the armies. The farmers are
doing everything possible and the peo-
pie OF the towns should assist by
avoiding waste and extravaganza.
They should make gardens not only in
their back yards, but in their front
yards as we'll, and on vacant lots.
They should organize garden clubs, IN
Guiding women and children, and
grow enough TO supply their needs not
only through the summer, but through
the winter They can do this by in

Dean Woods urges boys and girls

and all publlc-spirited citizens to lead
IN this work.

ish grows on almost any kind of soil.
and will stand the dry weather as well
as potatoes. In planting horse-radish,
fit the soil the same as for strawber-
ries, and cultivate the same as any
other garden crop.
Many persons plant horse-radish in
some out-of-the-way spot and dig a
piece of the root as often as needed,
leaving the fragments of roots in the
soil to grow for further use. This
method results in having nothing but
tough, stringy roots, very unlike the
product of a properly planted and we'll
cared for bed. The best roots are those
planted in the spring at the time OF
setting early cabbage, and dug as late
the same fall as the weather will per-
nit. 1t becomes therefore, an annual
crop.
