STATE ENGINEER SAYS
WATER MUST Be SAVED

tBy Percy A. Cupper, State En-
gineerl
The supply OF water for irrigation
according to the present indication
Will be far below normal this season.
IN fact, il will not be surprising if
1929 proves to be the dryest season
on record for irrigationists. The hea-
Wy SHOWS Of early December seem not
TO have reached to any marked de-
gree the higher attitudes, and most of
the snow seems to have already dis
appeared. In some sections, it fell
on unfrozen ground and was almost
entirely absorbed by the soil, while
in other sections the reverse was
true and unusual floods followed the
melting of the snow.
Reports from various sections of
the State indicate very light snow
fall in the higher attitudes upon wich
we must rely to maintain our irriga-
tion streams and fill our reservoirs.
1t seems, therefore, not too early to
check up on our available supply and
TO take such practical precautions as
we may to avoid undue shortage for
the irrigated crops. The use Of water
early in the season serves double
purpose, it saturates the soil, much
Of which remains to supply the
plants, and also serves as reservoir,
the water gradually returning to the
stream as seepage and maintaining
its flow for the benefit Of those below,
which in turn enable the upper ap-
proprietor to longer divert water
without infringing upon prior rights.
The time when irrigation can be
commenced to advantage depends up
on the condition of the crops and soil,
and is far better known to the irri-
gator in each particular locality than
by anyone else. The fact remains,
however, that the irrigatOr with his
usual excess of spring work does not
always appreciate until it is too late,
that there may not be an ample sup
|ply OF water to raise full crop unless
he starts in early. 1t is particularly
necessary that irrigators with the
later rights take warning and make
the best possible use of water when
the same is available.
bitches should be cleaned out and
lprepared for use as safely as posi-
lble, SO that water may be supplied
as soon as conditions in the respective
localities will permit of the beneficial
use Of water.
| Under the statute, the State Engin
eer has charge of the distribution o.
the waters OF the various streams o.
| the State to those entitled to theil
use as established by the State WateI
Board or the courts.
/ Extreme shortage Of water otter
brings about unforeseen conditions
which render the equitable distribu
tion of water difficult matter How

Votes in the Primaries

from several States the question ha,
been received as to whether the rati.
hcatlon of the Federal Amendment will
enable the women to vote in the pr.
mares without further legislation.
The reply to this question as issued
by the National Woman Suffrage As.
soclation is that the ratification Of the
Federal Amendment virtually takes the
word male" out of all State co7sttu.
lions. 1t does not change the quail.
ification for voters within any State and
the constitution may be read with the
word male" left out to discover the
real status of the new women voters
In most States the election uyards
have full authority to make para
ton for the additional number Of
voters. AS matter Of fac iu-y do
this every year, estimating the prob
able number of new men in each COM
munity. The advent of won voters
is no different except thy ..u r is
larger than the usual ann ease.
In those States, howeycr. " re
poll tax is a qualification, lHra 3a,hor-
ities may find it necessary 10 pass
special legislation to maxi tbs -ual-
fcation apply to womer. some
lawyers have so construed the law and
that event the opinion of authorizes
within the State will be necessary to
learn the exact situation.
II, however, any State should at the
denial to women of their right TO par
tciPate in the election, primary or
regular, after ratification of the SUI
frage amendment. an election could
without doubt be invalidated unless
very ample excuse is afforded.
John Wine, of Frederick county, IS
a much misunderstood man. he de-
clared when arraigned in court last
week charged with shooting a par.
fridge out Of season. Wine testified
he had been feeding covey of quail
during the winter. A flock OF crows
descended on the grain intended Tor
the quail and Wine seized his shot
gun to shoot at the crows. Just then
he said, rabbit jumped up and start
ed away. He fred, but missed the
rabbit and also the crows. At inc
same time the quail which were feeo'

had the case continued so as to gel
important witnesses.
