GREATER FORT HALL PROJECT

After about two years of work on
:. in the valley from American Falls
! to Shelley, promoting the cause of
! the Greater FIT. Hall Project, the
representatives or the department of
reclamation convey the message that
| they are convicted of the feasibility
of the plans submitted for combin-
ing it with the work Of the FIT. Hall
Project and the American Falls
reservoir, and ask that the land own
ers on the Machaud flats (between
Pocatello and American Falls), the
| Bancroft projects the Presto bench
and those on the reservation not in
cluded in the present FIT. Hall pro-
ject shall put their agreements into
form to contract with the govern
ment to act Jointly, and get the adj
vantage of work now under way
on the reservation and the system
now being enlarged for it's service.
The government dredges are now
at work enlarging the canals to the
size required for the FIT. Hall pro-
ject, and if they are to be made
still larger to accommodate the
Greater Ft. Hall project, it will
make a saving of perhaps a quarter
of a million dollars to have it all
done at the same time. Bridges,
fumes and other works have to be
built, and the government officials
are now as anxious as the settlers,
to complete the big combination and
make each one of these three big
undertakings help to both of the
others. 1t enables them to make the
triangular trades of water in stor
age in the BlackfOOt reservoir, the
American Falls and Jackson Lake so
that all lands may be watered.
1t is now being put up to the var
ious commercial clubs to take the
work in hand in connection with the
Idaho Reclamation Association and
push that part Of it with all possible
speed so that the work now in hand
may not be delayed nor done at a |
disadvantage.
Officials of the reclamation de-
partment are planning to be at Am
erican Falls on May IL and perhaps
will visit Springfield also, to meet
with as many settlers and leading
men as they can, to take the measure
Of their interest in this whole set of
plans. The party con-

PREPARATION FOR
THE BUG CAMPAIGN

By Don B. Whelan, Field Entomolo-
gist.
We know that the cherry trees
will have their annual horde of slugs
this coming summer and that they
will have to be sprayed or busted
with some chemical in order to COM
bat them. That the young of the
cooling moth will enter the apples
on unsprayed trees is a foregone con-
clusiOn. Flea-beetles will once more
eat countless holes in the leaves of
young tomato, potato, cabbage, caul-
flower and radish plants, while the
cutworms will undoubtedly continue
their nocturnal jaunts after food,
thereby taking toll of many young
plants such as cabbage, corn, tomato
and beans. The cabbage worms and
other chewing insects will be with
us in our gardens and on our farms.
They must all be dealt with and in
doing so, we must not wait until it
is too late. They say that "a stitch
in time saves nine,' and it is also
true that poison applied in time
saves future trouble. The bug kill
ed early in the season will, If he
meets his fate soon enough, prevent
its progeny from doing any damage.
The sucking insects cannot, as a rule,
be killed by the same sprays that
will devastate the ranks Of the chew
ing insects.
In order to carry on a successful
against insect pests of var
ious kinds, we must begin right now
to prepare for the battle. The ar
tillery that will sprinkle death on
our insect foes is composed of spray
ing and busting machines, whether
It be engine driven, traction driven
)r run by hand. The ammunition Is
of the arsenicals, nicotine,
1yrethrum, lime, hellebore and other
materials. Don't send
he artillery to the front in bad order
when the fight is the hottest. Now
S the time to overhaul it and to see
hat it has plenty Of the right kind
If ammunition. When the first bug
begins to sun itself, preparatory to
starting its first meal, open up with
he guns. Many a crop has been
uined over night or in few days
ime simply because the proper in
ecticides were not on hand
Prepare now to wage next sum-
ner's battles against the bugs. Get
,osted on what to spray and when
o spray, also on how to spray and
yhen the time comes, go after them.
