In my two recent articles l ex-
planned the construction of dams foI
storing water for irrigation on dry
land farms and also the diklng sys-

up the legal problem that this prac-
tice would raise.
Generally throughout the west, IT.
rigation started in a small way by
miners turning out little stream
onto some hay land for their stock,
little dreaming of the great possibili-
ties that lay In the future for irriga-
ton. AS the state began to be set
tied up and there was more demand
for and use of the water and users
began to interfere with each other
the states began to develop laws to
protect the water users. When there
was no interference in the use of the
water there was apparently no need
for laws regulating its use.
Montana has enacted some laws,
and in 1907 the last constructive
work was done on the water code.
There have been a few amendments
since that time but no real construct
i've legislation, although nearly every
legislature has tried to improve them.
Briefly, under the present laws, there
are two methods of securing water
right, depending whether the stream
from which the water is to be taken
IS decreed or not. On decreed streams
application is made to the district
court, which has a record of the de-
,rees issued in his county for that
stream. No new application can be
made without his approval and the |
ralue is determined after the right |
las been perfected. However, the
discharge of these streams has not |
,een sufficiently determined to date

or additional lands to be known.
AS only about one per cent of the
treams of the state have been adj
the method of obtaining
right on a stream that is not adj
udicated is of the widest interest.

TRIANGLE SPRING" IN
FAVOR WITH BUYERS

Recognition of the quality of wheat
grown in the Great Falls territory is
noted in the fact that many orders
from Minneapolis buyers now specify
triangle spring" wheat.
The term has come to include the
wheat shipped from points in the
triangle" and means spring wheat
grown on dry land farms and of the
highest quality. Grain men say that
the fact that triangle spring. has
come to have definite meaning to
the grain buyers of the Minneapolis
market Is distinct compliment to
the product. The compliment is the
greater since it came to be applied
to this class of grain without any at
tempt to establish it as a grade by
the Montana grain men,
The area covered by wheat that
may be called triangle spring" as
established by the Minneapolis buy
ers includes the triangle of the Great
Northern railway out of Great Falls
with the connecting branch lines out
of Shelby. There are a few spots
where the wheat does not reach the
high quality of the remainder of the
triangle" but these are so few that
the buyers regard all this territory
as origin of triangle spring" grade
The term triangle spring" is used
quite consistently by the Minnea-
polls buyers in ordering from Great
Falls grain men by telegraph.

Back of Undertaking; VIII Invest
$4,000 if Stevensville Will Put
in $4,000.

| The fruit and vegetable growers
in the region of Stevensville may this
summer establish a new industry, a
cannery for peas, cherries and other
such products. The business men OF
Stevensvilie and the orchardists and
farmers of the surrounding country,
through the Stevensville District In
dustrial association, have made a
deal with H. A. Johns, a cannery ca
pitalist and operator of Randolph,
Wis, and 1t is probable that a plant
to cost $4,000 will be erected at
Stevensville this year. A news item
says:
Mr.. Johns agrees to establish a
cannery for the purpose of handling
peas and cherries and to put $4,000
into the enterprise if Stevensville
will furnish SIS, 900 for the erection
of suitable buildings.
1t was brought out that the $751;
900 asked for Is to be in the nature
of loan, secured by the buildings
and repayable within three years.
Upon repayment, title to the build
ings is to go to Mr.. Johns 1t was
also announced that already guaran-
tees aggregating $4,000 have been
obtained. 1t is planned to borrow
the necessary money from some
large bank, the pledges signed by
local business men and farmers to
stand as security for the loan.

FARMERS ASK FOR
PRICE LEGISLATION
NORTHWEST DELEGATES RE-
QUEST $1.75 AS BASIC WHEAT
PRICE AT THE TERMINALS

Selection of delegates from the 10
states represented at the Northwest
agricultural price sterilization con-
ference to go to Washington and
work for fixed price for wheat, as
recommended by the conference, Will
be the next move of the organization
to aid the farmer, it Is said.
The action was decided on at the
two-day conference, concluded at St.
Paul, at which a resolution was
adopted, calling upon congress to en-
act the Gooding bill, which would
provide basic minimum of $1.75 a
bushel for wheat at terminals.
The resolution also urged that in
the event congress failed to take any
action at its present session, Presi-
dent Harding should call a special
session to insure relief for the farm
er. The six states voting in favor of
this resolution were Minnesota, North
Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska,
Montana and Kansas.
The Gooding bill referred to pro-
vides a basic minimum of $1.75
bushel for wheat at the terminals.
The minority members of the reso-
lutions committee held that the arbi-
trary stimulation of prices would re-
suit in further over-production and
further decentralization of agriculture.
The conference unanimously ap-
proved cooperative marketing.

! dead, and no sick ones could be OBJ
served, analysis of the stomach con
tents showed arsenic. If sick animals
could be observed, the symptoms OF
acute arsenical poison, the webbing
Keeling, uncertain gait, muscles jerk
| ing and twitching, together with the
frequent profuse watery diarrhoeai
made the diagnosis easy.
How Did Cattle Get ''Mash"
GIN many cases, therefore, in diff
ferent parts of the state, there were
losses of cattle from arsenical poi
soning, there is no question about
that. In every case that was inves-
tigated, there had been poisoned bran
spread out for grasshoppers, and it
was natural to assume that this poi
son bran was the source of the arsenic
that killed the cattle. The question
to be decided was this: How did the
cattle get the bran mash?
"If cattle, grazing over the stubble
fields where poison had been distrib-
uted according to directions, some
months before, could pick up the poi
son in sufficient quantities to poison
them, then it was very serious mat
ter, for this hopper poison seemed
almost indispensable. Either the
hoppers or the cattle had to go.s In
vestigations, therefore, were made
with the greatest care.
I'm practically every case that
could be carefully gone over, where
all the facts could be learned, the
poisining of cattle was found to be
due to carelessness in handling the
poison. In some cases sack or
part of sack of poisoned bran had
been left where cattle got at it, or had
been dumped out at the edge of
field. In some cases the bran was
too wet, stuck together in large Jumps
and could be found in the fields in
masses the size of hens egg. In
several cases, the fields were poison
ed with about 10 times the amount
that was supposed to be spread out.
''In some instances a sack or two
left over would be thrown into an
old straw stack butt and burned. The
burning merely burned off the sack,
a small part of the bran, and left
most of the bran untouched. 1t is
true that in some cases Investigated

firmly believe that in those cases we
did not get all the facts.
Should Continue Hopper Fight
There were more than 5000 tons
Of this poisoned bran mixed and dis
tributed last year, handled by Tom,
Dick and Harry; men that were wise
and men that were otherwise. 1t is
nconceivable that we could get by
some actual poisoning. This |
that we have made this
winter has established the fact that |
hopper poison, mixed and spread ac-
,ording to directions, is not danger

,ned fields, either then or later.

prives the appropriation of his right
Many rights have been granted by
the courts where the appropriations
have never posted notice or record
ed filing, but has built his ditch and
used the water beneficially.
There is no court in the state that
would deny right to person who
has diverted and used the water bene-
ficially.
The law states that when the APP
proprietor ceases to use the water the
right ceases. But a question of
abandonment shall be question of
fact, and shall be determined as other
questions of fact" 1t appears that
in order to make it stick" the ap-
proprietor must file record of his in
tention to abandon the use of the
water with the county clerk.
On account of these lax laws rights
that have never been used and no
ditch even dug are on record and
are valid as far as the record goes.
On the other hand there may be
valid rights where the water has been
used for years and there is no record
of them at all. There is no way of
checking up on the water rights and
the amount of water in the stream,
as there is no limit except beneficial
use placed on the amount a person
may file on. The result is that our
streams are greatly oyer-appropriat-
ed.

EXTENDS TIME
FOR PAYMENT
CONGRESS GIVES FEDERAL IRRI-
CATION PROJECT SETTLERS
TWO YEARS MORE

Extension of tie for the payment
of charges due the government on
reclamation projects, for period OF
two years dating from December 81,
1922, has been approved by both
branches of congress. Presidential
approval of the act is now being
awaited.
Although this step was taken by
congress for the relief of individual
applicants, the act benefits all land
owners living on government pro-
jects, Mr.. Sanford said. 1t amends
an act adopted by congress on Mar.
81, 1922, which deferred payment of
charges for period of one year, but
with the provision that all charges
shall draw per cent interest per
year from the date of the extension.
The act further provides that the
secretary of the interior has the au-
thority, in cases where individual
water users have been unable to pay
any construction, operation or main
tenance charge due for last year, to
add these unpaid charges to the con-
structfon account, this to be distrib-
uted over 20-year period of pay
ment. The penalties and accrued in
terest, in such cases, would be can
celled under the provisions of the
act, but on the extended charges in
terest would be collected.
To acquire an extension the appli- |
cant Is required to present a state |
ment to the secretary of the interior
showing his inability to meet the
charges when they fall due in 1924.
Relief under the act is also avail
able in whole or in part to a legally
group of water users on
of sufficient number
of individual financial statements.
