IN WORLDS HISTORY
July Forecast Indicates Three
Billion Bushels.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The biggest
corn crop ever known IN the United
States is confidently forecast by the
department of agriculture in it's July
report on crop conditions throughout
the country, following former state
ment indicating a bumper yield. A
prospective crop of more than 3,000,-
100000 bushels is the answer of the
farmer of the nation to President Will
sons call for food for America and its
allies in the war. Never before has
such a corn crop been grown.
Steady improvement in the condi-
ton of the various crops is noted in
the governments official statement
One of the most interesting parts of
the forecast are the figures showing
for the first time the acreage of corn
and white potatoes. OF corn, the great
est of all American agricultural crops,
there are planted 121,045,000 acres;
of white potatoes, 4,384,000 acres.

An Industrious People.

The japanese people, both male and
female, are remarkably industrious.
They like sports. They seek enjoy

and learn. But they work hard and
long hours. They are persistent, de-

and collectively. They are wonderful
cppyists and assimilators. By nature,
the men generally are gentlemen and
the women ladies.

Water Distribution On Lands Snow
How Various Crops 6ise Up
In Acreage.

Engineer Geo. e. Beavers report
to the Twin Lakes Reservoir and
Canal Co., meeting of the stockhold-
ers held Monday of this week brinRs
out some interesting Information.
The above figures show the land and
crops over which water was distribute
ed during the year 1915, . total OF
II 1928 acres.
Mr.. Beavers report continues:
The first day water was used was
March 18th, and the last day was
Sept. Sth; during which time there
was used $3.50 A. it., which was
1.52 per acre.
The rain fall was SO feet, which
makes a water duty of 2.11 feet per
acre. that is. il the water was all de-
livered at one time. it would stand
252s inches deep on each acre OF
land under the system east of Olney;
proper deductions have been made
for seepage and evaporation.
IMPROVEMENTS
About all OF the improvements put
in during the past year have been to
the Meredith Reservoir Company.
When this proposition was taken
Holbrook Canal in f1ume and with
out any provision to exchange water
with the Holbrook Canal. For in
stance, in 1915 we were drawing 400
feet out of Lake Meredith and taking
in a like amount at Boone; then the
Holbrook, which has priority over
us, wanted 200 feet from the river to
exchange. We were compelled to cut
out at Boone 200 feet for them. To
nv h TO vryn To- rls~hN
der the Holbrook with diversion gates
and bypass canal to the Holbrook
Canal at cost of $6,500.0O, a part
of which was borne by the Holbrook
people.
A drop of 10 feet was put in on the
Meredith Inlet at a cost of about
10000.
Another drop will have to be put
in the near future to protect the drop
now in at the crossing of the Sugar
City lateral.
The Twin Lakes Land & Water
Company have put in one drop this
fall and have two more to put in.
These will be put in during the COM
ing year. There has been nothing
vital SO far, but they should be put
in during the coming year.
Lake Henry was filled to its 1891
decree on December 18th. This de-
cree is for 6,355 A. It. Since which
time the water has been going to
Lake Meredith, the gauge now reads
4.40, of this only about 3 is avail
able. The chances are good for US
to make a good substantial storage
the balance of this winter.
The Twin Lakes gauge is 90. We
will have about 5000 A. It. available
or 400 feet per second for 8 days.
Now we have not so much water in
sight as we had last year, hence wa
ter can not be started as soon, and
