FALL. FLOWING ADVOCATED
Probable scarcity of Labor in the
Spring Demands that Ground
lie Put in Condition Now
Third Asst P. N. as

Plow every available acre of land
this fall. ia the advice being sent out
by the Department OF Agronomy of
the Utah Agricultural College. A
probable scarcity of labor next spring
makes it essential that as much
ground as possible be put in order
this fall for next springs planting
Every acre plowed this season will
be put that much done for next year.
This wonderful fall is giving farm
ers ample opportunity 10 get ready
for the spring work. Fall plowing
will not only tend TO relieve the
labor shortage next spring, but il
will also conserve the moisture for
next years crop. which is especially
desirable in such semi-arid states as
Utah and Idaho. and will make the
frosts help fertilize the fields.

COAxNG WATER UP HILL
Is the Performance of Unique Wat
er Ladder Exhibited In
Twin Falls
H. V. Plat.
VicePreeident

The Water Ladder Irrigation Co.
promoted by Harry W. Thomas and
Arthur McLaren, is one OF the newest
concerns established in Twin Falls
The company proposes to manufac-
ture a machine called a water ladder
used for elevating water for irrigation
purposes. They have completed u
sample machine. capable of ten-foot
lift. which last Friday was placed
on exhibition on the vacant lot ad-
joining the Idaho Power Co.'S office.
The machine is in the shape of q
slightly oval oblong box. suspended
In an upright position from two posts
at the side. Power is applied 10 give
1t an oscillating motion. and as the
water is picked up. ii is lifted along
a series of shelves until it reaches the
top. Hinged valves at the edge OF the
shelves holds the water from going
back as the machine reverses. The
sample machine has a lift OF ten feet
and delivers ESQ gallons OF water
er motor. 1t is estimated that IL de-
rives 80 per cent efficiency from the
power applied. as again 60 per cent
for centrifugal pumps and less than
that for direct lift pumps.
The greatest claim made for ii is
that IL raises more water for less pow
er cost than any other system OF
lifting water. Machines can be made
for a 20 to 26-foot lift and operated
at great saving Ia power cost.

Conservation OF Water Power

In commenting on the so-called
conservation OF water powers the
Investors Guide column OF the Chi
cago Tribune says:
There are many Thousands of
available power sites in the country
that are undeveloped. Some of them
are idle solely because OF legal re-
strictions designed TO prevent cor
porations from getting possession of
them. Suppose some corporation
should get control of one OF these
sites and build a power plant. II
could not sell power at all unless II
made a price below the cost of the
same power produced by coal. Sup
pose 1t should sell power for the high
est price II could get and earn large
dividends for stockholders Would
any one be damagedY The consump-
tion OF coal would be decreased and
the power used In the vicinity would
cost the users a little less than be-
fore. tending to lower prices of man.

stockholders received large incomes

rs 1t not possible that the agita-
ton OF few years ago to prevent
corporate exploiting of power sites
overshot its mark? AS a result Of
the agitation falling water is running
to waste. while coal that might be
saved is being burned"
Simple Legislation permitting de-
velopment and protecting public in
terest is a national necessity.
II has no advantage to the public
to tie the power up so II cannot be
used when we have state and federal
bodies fully protecting consumers in
the matter of rates and service.

$500 Per Year

The water ladder has been IN use
in Colorado for a couple OF years aud
has met with general endorsement.
The machines produced hero will be
made by the Idaho Sash & Door Co.
The castings will be made at E. P.

Summarized. the results of the
movement are as follows:

The war has caused great scar

made the price OF everything so high
that people could hardly AFFORD to

called into the trenches. and many
productive acres have been rendered
desoiate by the ravages OF war. These
conditions have so completely upset

what II was to want.
This is a war In which food takes
Its place IN the battle line with thu

who shall be the victor Not alone
Will the fire superiority" OF shot
md shell determine the advance OF
the troops; the "dre superiority" of
bread will dictate fntones OF an alb
solute monarch which regiments shall
advance and which retreat. AS a fac
tor. therefore. in winning the war.
the nation must take every possible
step to conserve its food supply.
Wheat. the most Indispensable of
the foods. IS scarce. The worlds re-
serve has gradually decreased dur
ing the period OF the war. till now a
shortage seems inevitable. This con-
dition would be very serious we're II
not for the fact that the potato crop
is exceptionally large. Unlike wheat.
potatoes cannot be stored from sea-
son: this years crop must be eaten
within the year or II will be wasted.
Nor can potatoes be transported great
distances. for their high moisture
content makes freight rates prohibit
tive. Since they cannot be shipped
in any considerable quantity to our
allies in Europe. they must be con-
sumed at home. We must allow them
in part to axe the place OF grain In
our own diet, and reserve the more
concentrated products for the men
In the trenches.
Fortunately. potatoes may. to q
considerable extent. be substituted
for wheat. Although they do not
contain all the nutritivs elemen ts
contained IN wheat. they are rich In
energy-giving starch making bread.
Indeed. bread containing a high per-
centage OF potatoes II properly made.

Furthermore in the hands OF a skill

from potatoes.
Since potatoes Will be plentiful and
cheap. since they are too bulky to
ship long distances and too perish

wheat is scarce and Is needed for the
men In the trenches. aimee the sue
cess OF the nation at arms depends
IN part on the conservation OF food.
and since every true American is
anxious TO demonstrate HIS patriot
ism. what citizen can allow to pass
this opportunity to servie by giving
potatoes a prominent place In his
diet.

that we may never again be at the

"7AMoNA" At THE OPERA HOUSE.
Beautiful Photoplay in 8 Reels Deal
ing With Life of California Mission
Indians Monday and Tuesday

A welcome relief from sensation
alism' is promised in Ramona"
which will appear at the Germania op'
era house Monday and Tuesday eve.
nings of next week. The photoplay,
very youthful form of stage art, is
still, in spite of recent remarkable
strides, in a somewhat primitive state,
and more or less cluttered with crude
melodrama.
In filming Ramona" w. H. Clune
and the director in immediate charge,
Donald Crisp, decided to eschew re-
ligiously all sensational attempts. They
rightly conjectured that melodrama
would be out of keeping with the spirit
of Helen Hunt Jackson's novel OF the
California Mission Indians.
Only two or three times during the
course of the photoplay does the tenn
DO speed up into what is known as
quick action" in the studio parlance.
In these instances, the action is not
forced, but is demanded by the Incl
dents and spirit of the story. The
first employment of quick action
comes with the driving of the Indians
from their homes by the white invad.
ers, and the burning of their humble
huts. Again the pulse" OF the play
quickens when the brutal Jim Farrar
rides up to Alessandro's hut, calls the
poor crazed Indian out and shoots him
down in cowardly cold blood.
Elsewhere, the story moves along in
the easy, dreamy, romantic fashion of
Southern California in the old mission
days when the padre rule was supreme
