FOR THE Benefit OF THOSE
COMPLAINING OF SHORT WATER

Many water users living on Califor-
MIA mesa and Ash mesa and in Delta
criticise the operating forces Of the
government project and the water
commissioners, claiming that from 80
to 100 second feet of water runs to
waste In the mill ditch and in the Un-
compahgre river west of Delta at times
when it is badly needed for irrigation
on the mesas, or to fill priorities.
This is to advise that when there
is no water passing the Garnet dam
which is the last diversion made by
the government on the river, that the
flow Of water west of Delta amounts
to 80 to 100 second feet, due to return
waters from Dry Greek, Loutsenhizer
arroyo, and numerous small seepage
streams entering the river below the
Garnet dam. and which cannot be
diverted.

ENEMY PRESSING YOUNG BOYS

May 15.-There is little doubt that
Germany has embarked her last grave
adventure in which every man, boy,
horse and machine will be used in a
desperate effort to gain a favorable
decision during the present conflict.
The German drafts are making up
divisions which are composed of about
one-half returned wounded and the
recruits include many boys of eight
cen. years.
1t is an established fact that the
German losses were high, both in the
Somme and Lys battles, hence the
delay in their third push. There is
every probability that a class of nine

Wilson today notified Congress that
he would regard the passage of the
Chamberlain resolution, which would
empower the senate military affairs
committee with every phase Of the
war department, as a direct vote of

effort to take the conduct of war from
his hands.
The president expressed his views
in letter to Senator Martin, who
read the letter before hastily sum-

ty leaders. A committee of members
declared that the president can not
prevent the committee from investi-
eating, even though in all probability
he will prevent the comforting of ad-

OF high-grade nitrogenous fertilizer at
such greatly reduced cost really means
can only be approximated now. 1t is
known that production of cotton and
wheat is steadily decreasing, despite the
stimulus of an advance in prices of APP
proximately 200 per cent within the past
three and half years, Tho per acre
Yield of cotton has dropped by rapid
stages from 209.2 pounds of lint in 1914-l5
to ISL pounds In 19l7-1S. The per acre
yield of wheat is sharply below what it
was when the war began.
Experiments conducted in England
over a period of 50 years show that each
pound of nitrogen per acre increases the
yield of wheat one-third bushel of grain
and 40 pounds of straw, corn five-eighths
bushel. potatoes one and two-dfths BUSH

pounds This formula applied to the
current acreage in cotton on the present
low per acre yield would increase the
crop by 1900 bales for each pound Of
additional nitrogen used, adding approx
mateIy 100000 bales for every three
pounds per acre The results with wheat
would be equally stupendous, and in the
case of each, there would follow quite as
important difference in price as in
yield-the difference between normal and
