In a decision dated December TO-
1928 the United States District Court
in and for the District of Idaho, East
ern Division, Judge F. S. Dietrich pre-
siding, the complaint of the A. c.
Quigg Irrigation Company, a co-part-
nership composed of A. G. .Quigg and
E. o. Thompson, doing business under
the firm name and style of A. G.
Quigg Irrigation Company, plaintiffs,
contesting the validity Of Gray's Lake
and its tributaries for use on the Fort
Hall Project, is dismissed with pre-
judice.
In 1907 the water rights in Black
foot River and Gray's Lake and its
tributaries, that had been acquired by
Barzilla w. Clark. and also certain
works that had been constructed by
him, being partially completed di-
version channel for draining the wa
ters of Gray's Lake into the Black
foot river water shed, was purchased
by the Government.
The contest of Quigg was based on
the allegation that insufficient work
toward the development of the waters
of Gray's Lake had been done to con-
stitute compliance with the Idaho
statutes. 1t was shown however to
the satisfaction of the Court that the
Government, within the allotted time,
had made expenditures and did con-
struction work in excess of the re-
Quirements of the permit and because
of this fact the case was dismissed
The Government was represented
in this case by Assistant Attorney
General Ethelbert Ward of Denver,
Colonel e. G. Davis, United States
District Attorney and by Mr.. B. E.
Stoutmeyer, District Counsel U. s.

voir Company.

Crop Improvement
Extracts From The County Agents
Annual Report

Yellow Trefoil, or Black Medic, Can
ada Thistle Hoary Cress. Povert,
weed and Fox Tail.
1t is very evident that yield O.
from 400 to 500 pounds of seed valu
ed from II to 20 cents a pound with
little expnse and time In handling the
crop is making profit for Bingham
County Farmers this year.
A County Seed Growers Association
with locals at Aberdeen, Blackfoot
and Shelley would increase the profit
for our high quality seed, and would
be managed with very little over
head. We hope to perfect an organ
ization similar to the Idaho Grimm
Seed Growers Association to handle
this commodity.
Many farmers are buying for spring
| planting, and the acreage will be con-
siderably increased next year. We
are urging those who are. planting
for seed production to use the best
seed that can be secured. E
LADINO CLOVER ss{
Two years ago the county agent
received enough Ladino Glover seed
to plant seven trial plots. The first
year portion of the plots set seed,
while others produced just enough TO
help thicken up the stand.
This year one of the. farmers IN
the Grimm Alfalfa seed section plant
ed 10 acres for seed. The field was
clipped twice to get rid of some small
seeded annual weeds. Thirty pounds
of seed was taken off one end Of this
field idicating that it might be poss-
ible to make enough seed the first
year to pay, providing the land is
clean of weeds. Gs..t
One small plot yielded 20 pounds
of seed this years, others were hand
picked and the heads run through a
sausage grinder to extract the seed
for sowing for additional acreage.
One plot was planted side by side
with alfalfa and cowsate Ladino Glow
er as long as there was any in pre-
ference to alfalfa. None of the COWS
or sheep on this pasture bloated. An
effort will be made to plant small
acreages Of this legume on many
farms next spring.
GRIMM ALFALFA SEED
The Idaho Grimm Alfalfa Seed
Growers control large per cent of
the seed raised in Bingham County |
and carry on inspection Of fields for |
both variety and weed determination. |
It has been our object to cooperate in
over coming factors which limit guam
,ity and quality production.
The most important factors this |
year were grasshoppers, pocket gop-
lers weevil, and an increasing num-
,er Of inseparable and noxious weeds,
These phases are taken up under in
ect pest, rodent and weed control.
WEED CONTROL tYf
One of the limiting factors in seed
reduction Is the pernicuous weeds
hat grow along canal banks. 1t is
to keep the farm clean II I,
yeed seed from miles of unpastured
itches flood over the land in the ir-
igation water. A campaign to fence
he canals and pasture sheep upon
1em is being promoted. Six inch
lesh fencing with barbed wires az
lie top can be secured for 81 to 81
ents per rod. A little band of farm |
leep will, 1 ntime, pay for the fenc-
lg and return a profit. Demonstra-
RS have given us the following fig

'GEDDES BACKED
BY BRITISH PRESS
Ellis Island Finding Target Of
Editorials Today

| BY The Associated Press.
London, Aug. 16.-The British gov
eminent has been justified in making
complaints on behalf of many Eng
lishmen against the conditions at FL
lis Island In the opinion of most of
the afternoon newspapers which COM
ment today on Ambassador Geddes'
report of his visit to the New York
immigration station.
Clean immigrants and dirty ones,
gentle and coarse, honest and crimi-
nal, are crowded together in circum-
stances extremely odious to the bet
ter kind" says the Star. These things
occur under the shadow of the Statue
of Liberty They are to thousands
the first taste of that freedom which
is the boast of Gods own country
What pity that Americas moral lee
lures to the naughty effete of old
Europe have to cross such a dirty
doorstep"
The Pail Mall Gazette says:
The Americans are great orga niz-
ers," the newspaper adds, land the
immigrants cages at Ellis Island are
in some respects as wonderfully or
ganized as the Chicago stockyards
The defect of the system is that it
brings human beings together like
cattle, ignoring the infinite gulf that
separates degradation from decency."
1T is simply playing with human
misery when an American consul
grants wise to would-be immi-
grant and simultaneously writes to
his government that he should not be
admitted"

PAONESSA WANTS PROBE OF
AERONAUTIC ASSOCIATION
Mayor Displeased by Developments
of "Invitation" Extended to New
Britain Young Men

A request will emanate this after.
noon from the office of Mayor A. M
Paonessa to Corporation Counsel John
III. Kirkham requesting that the
American Aeronautic association, with
offices in Washington d. c. be inves-
tigated, and it will be suggested that
government authorities be asked to
assist.
Several weeks ago the mayor re-
ceived a letter from the association
explaining that the association had
been organized to Make America
First in the Air. and that it would
take one young man for each $4,000
population in the city and educate
him in an aviation school without
charge. After the names of several
young men had been sent in, the ma
yor was informed by one of their
number that he had been asked to
raise $500 through 100 IS member
ships in the association, pay his trans
portation and do various other things
not explained in the original letter.
The proposition was not to the ma
yor's liking and as a result the in
vestigation will be asked for.
