situation still more serious. If there
We're a greater variety Of crops the
water might be used to better advan-
tage. I would suggest for your con-
sideration leaving such portions of your
alfalfa fields for seed as might be
suitable for that purpose. Wherever
you have thin stard would let mat
go for seed.
As to the remaining land, YOU can
see from the water situation that it
be unwise to risk grain crop on the
entire cultivated land. 1t would be far
better for you to limit your planting
OF wheat and oats to only portion or
your land and summer fanow the bal
ance. If seed We're not 50 high you
might afford to take chance, but with
the high prices of seed and labor and
the very limited amount OF water it is
better to limit your acreage to what
you are reasonably sure viii produce a
good crop.
We shall use every endeavor TO as
sist you in the very best distribution
of the water available and will appre-
ciate any suggestion which you believe
viii be helpful in this work.
In this connection let me suggest the
value of thorough cultivation so as TO
conserve all OF the moisture now in the
ground. I believe ii best to spring
tooth the alfalfa and create as much
of a mulch as you can. Also, be sure to
have your farm laterals thoroughly
cleaned out. the weeds and distractions
burned and all removed so that you can
get the very most out of the water when
you are using it.
Would suggest that the farmers on
the different lateIals get together
where possible and work out some
scheme of rotation
We had a meeting at Richfield the
other day at which there were a large
number OF farmers present Shall ex-
pect to have similar meetings in other
parts of the project at an early date
We are studying how TO reduce the
losses to a minimum and win use every
endeavor TO give you the best possible
service.
regret very much that this water
condition should exist in the first year
Of my connection with you. We VIII /
put on a sufficient number of ditch /

LETTER FROM MR.. SHEPHERD

To the Water Users ON the Idaho Irri-
cation Company project;
hope to meet you all in the near fu-
ture, but until then wish to give you
Information such as I have concerning
the present water situation on your
project, so that you may be able to plan
your farming operations this year with
fun knowledge OF the limited amount
OF water that will be available.
Last year you had about $4,000 acres
under cultivation. Assuming that there
Is no more land being brought under
cultivation this year than there was
last you viii have only about three
|iourths to one acre foot OF water for
use this year unless there is n very
Pnaterial change for the better in con-
Yoiuons on the water shed. Plenty OF
Spring rains may help this situation
materially, but 1 do not think you

Count.

death, never ceasing to work at some |
thing or other until the last year or so |

When all was ready they sent Their

beautiful hospital in which we propose
to care for your brothers when the

Then straightway the neighbors be
gan to make excuse why they should
not be asked to part with a hundred
bucks and the poor servant walzed
up the north side of the track and they
sent him TO the south side Of the tract
and he walked down the south side c,
the track and they sent him to the
north side Three weary days h
walked in vain and then had 10 cease
walking while the shoe maker repaired
his shoes. and his heart was heavy
within him and he threw himself or
his couch meaning "why did I believe
that a man would love his neignbor as
himself? ''Why Bid I believe that Sho-
shnoe would be as liberal as GoodinE
toward a hospital plan? why didn'.
I promote a gold brick plan like q

he fell asleep. While he slurnbered
there appeared unto him a vision. Be

OLDEST WRITTEN
CODE is FOUND
Shows High State of Civilization
Thousands of Years Before
Christ's Time.
(Star News Service)

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. June %
What is said to be the oldest known
written code of laws in the world,
pi obably antedating that of Ham
murabi by at least thousand years,
has been discovered in part among
the hitherto untranslated clay tab
lets from Nippur at the University
o: Pennsylvania museum.
The Hammurabi code was prepar-
ed about 2100 B. c., and was dis
covered about twenty years ago on
a large diorite stone by French eX-
plorers.
The laws which have just been
translated by Able Scheil of Paris,
deal with responsibilities of hired
servants, with trespaSs on farms and
orchards, harboring of slaves, rem
tails, rights of slave women who
have borne children to their mas
terS, punishment for adultery, etc.
One interesting statute provides
that rentals must run for three years
in case a man has taken over
house the owner does not know how
to manage. This is somewhat OBJ
ScurC ana may mean free rentals
for that term. In any event prop
erty could not lie idle or be i'm
properly uesed if some one was
willing to use it for public or pri-
vate benefit.
In case or slave bore children
to her master, she and the off
spring were free and if the mas
ter married the slave the children
became legitimate. In general. the
laws show high state of civiliza-
ton existed when they were writ
ten, and indicate milleniumS of pre-
vious experience in settled commun-
tiles. They deal with personal and
property rights on a basis some
what like that of the Deuterono-
mic code. I is thought possible the
tablets were textbooks used at the /
great University of Nippur.

In conclusion dear Friends,
wish TO say that the government is
very busy chasing peddlers. This
dope, | understand. is a thing that
will make one feel happy when he
is really miserable, will make one
feel rich when he is really poor.
The Eternal Torment Doctrine is
the worse dope that has ever been
brought out to mankind. The eff
feet of all of these dopes whether
literal or moral is to dethrone rea-
son. A person being affected Suffi-
,icntly with the eternal torment
doctrine will at times Try to kick
he bottom out Of the church house
and jump through the ceiling, hol-
owing, GLORY and Honor to God"
When the world awakenS to its
sense of justice and truth the fire
md birthstone peddler will be more
ietestable than the worse dope ped
Her of today.
Dear friends, | am determined to
1--WE the world the truth to the eX-
ent of my ability, regardless to
'ost or sacrifice even though ii
