POLITICAL GOSSIP

Boise. Idaho, May s., The political
situation. insofar as the Republican
party is concerned. is beginning to clear
somewhat since the state convention
named delegates to the big Chicago
gathering. The most significant fea-
ture of recent developments is the evil
dence of party harmony in Idaho and
the steps taken in practically every
county to conduct vigorous campaign
for the Republican party.
Not only is the party united as per-
haps it has never been before but its
membership is being organized long in
advance of the time when such steps
are usually taken, and there is general

never been higher
The only two members of the class
taking part in the exercises were Miss.

FIGHTING AN ENEMY ON THE
HOME SOIL

Boise. Idaho. May s. Reports from
all parts of the&S are most signifi-
cant in relation to the observance held
on May 1st, American day. In many
places there were large parades and
pubic meetings and at practically
every place where there was no special
demonstration the schools held exer-
cises. feature of which was the
reading Of the American creed en-
dorsed and put out in this state by the
United Americans the big patriotic
organization that is correlating the
efforts of all loyal bodies in this state
The observance of this day plainly
indicates the fundamental allegiance
of the large body of our citizens to the
principles Of the constitution and to
the flag and denotes further spon-
taneous response to every patriotic
suggestion.
In view OF this condition those who
are laboring to undermine the con-
stitution in this state and to assist in
the bold attempt to overthrow the
present form of government are des-
tined to run against as immovable force
as the Huns encountered in the Argonne
forest when they went up against the
soldier boys from the United States,
one leader of thought in this state
sizes the situation up something in this
manner. Our boys fought the Germans
in France and had the support of every
American citizen in this country. We
are fighting as vicious an enemy upon
our own soil and we have the backing
of those same boys.

NOTICE TO WATER USERS
Plan your Water Orders and Prepare
Your Land to Get the Best Results.

Tn view of the plan to run water in
mately fifteen days duration, it be-
comes especially important for water
users to plan their irrigations carefully
and to apply the water intelligently.
Good practice indicates that on the
Ordinary soils of this. project field
bitches should be so laid out that water
will not have to run in the burrows of
corrugations further than 300 to 400 #.
In the sandy country the runs prob
ably should not be over 200 feet long.
Otherwise water will percolate beyond
the reach of pant roots at the upper
sufficiently wet. Corrugations should
be so spaced that the water Subs"
laterly until it almost meets between
the burrows during the time that it is
running through the set.
To get sufficient moisture into the
ground, it will probably be most salts
doctory to apply a depth Of from four
to six inches over the crop at each irri-
CATION. To figure out the head that
will be required to irrigate a tract in a
given time, it is well to remember that
one miners inch will cover one acre one
inch deep in so hours. On this basis,
one miners inch will cover one acre
four inches deep in 200 hours, or and
one third days, and one acre six inches
deep in 300 hours, or 1219 days. There
fore, to give your farm a four-inch irri- |
cation, you should call for about the |
normal head of five-eights in per acre,
as that head will provide a four inch |
depth in 13 and one-third days. To I
get a six-inch irrigation in fifteen days
call for head of five sixths inch per
acre in crop.
1t may be desired to give grain a
four-inc irrigation and alfalfa a six
inch irrigation. The same rules will
provide a basis for estimating the head
Required if the area of each field Is
known. In case of special conditions,
or if there is any doubt as to the proper
head to be called for all water users
should feel free to call upon the Com
pany's engineers for information or ad-
vice. 1t is the desire of the Company
to give every possible assistance in OBJ
kaining the most beneficial use of the
water available. /
