John McGraw saws:

John McGraw says:
"Our team this year is as good as
it was last year. The pitchers are n
little bit better, believe. We have a
strong attack and a good defense.
The breaks mean everything in a
short series and while am confident,
1 want the Giants to realize that they
have fight and they do"
Miller Higgins says:
1--WE are much stronger than we
were last year. The Giants caught us
in a slump last fall and we never
came out of 1t. With our pitching
staff and with a most formidable
batting team 1 feel sure that we have
more than an even chance to win.
We will have no alibis If we lose."

WATER USERS ASSOCIATION.

This article is written for the pur-
pose of better acquainting the water
users, in general, of the West Okla
hogan Valley Irrigation district, with
the purposes and object Of the OrO-
Vile Tonasket Water Users assOcia-
ton.
1t was organized in the spring of
1920 and its object declared to be to
assist in securing the best, most COM
petent and economical management of
the district by the board Of directors
(the election Of which should be in
the control of the association, to pro-
cure fair distribution of water and
assist (within its means) in the i'm
provement and reclamation of the
lands of the district, in the accomp-
lishments of such things as will re-
suit in the prosperity of the farmers
and taxpayers of the district.
Under the rules of the association,
general meeting of its members
should be held somewhere in the
district each month. But the bust
ness of the association is largely
transacted by an executive committee
of five members, which should meet
frequently, making reports of its pro.
ceedings to the members at the month
ly meetings, and also from time tc
time through the mails.
The officers of the association are
president, vice-president, secretar!
and treasurer, and also the executive
committee of five. The officers arr
elected during the early part Of Jan
uary in each year, except that TIVE

The sophomore English class have

Pond and Mr.. Bullock promised tc
give a party at the end of the next sill
weeks IF no DIS are received in the
English class during that time.

NEED DEFINITE REcLA-
NATION POLICY IF AGRl-
CULTURE Is TO PROSPER

When there appears to be a surplus
Of farm products and prices are low,
1t almost seems out of plsee ito con-
slider such matters as Exclamation
and land settlement. And yet. we
in the west in areas where there Is
land to be reclaimed and where such
reclamation means much to the well
fare of the state as whole, must see
far enough ahead to have some defi-
mite policies in reclamation. With our
rapidly increasing population, It Will
not take many years, variously esti-
mated at 10 to %, until domestic de-
mand will more than catch up with
production. AS additions to acreage
by reclamation always will be small
when compared with the land under
cultivation, products from these acres
unless specialties such as truck and
fruit are over-emphasized, Will have
little effect on the prices Of farmers
goods. With upwards of two million
acres or more of land to be reclaimed
by irrigation and probably two million
acres of logged off lands suitable for
agricultural purposes, we as as tate
need to give the matter Of reclama-
ton our careful attention.
The development of logged off lands
or reclamation of lands by irrigation
must be done in accordance with
economic principles or not at all. the
land must be of such character first
of all, that it can produce crops Of
such volume and at such cost thai
their use for feed or sale will bring
q substantial return. Second, there
must benz arkets for these crops
either through cities close at hand
through canneries in case OF Derr!
crops or through lives took products
such as milk, eggs or meat for whlci
there is always some market.
Moreover the prices of these lana
must be such that reasonable interes
on the investment and returns iron
labor from the proceeds of the lan'
are possible. The only real guide t
follow is the results obtained by far
mers under similar conditions and o.
similar land. These will show that 10
logged off areas, for instance, tn
prices Of raw land itself, except tina

clearing of these lands will cost froI
500 to $500 per acre, practically a

and sometimes more. Original owner

the profit secured from the original
crop and be willing to place these
lands In the hands Of land seekers at
a nominal price.
Considerable exploitation Of unsus-
pecting hOmeseekers with or without
farm experience has been quite COM
mon by oyer-enthusiastlc land sales
agents who would give the impression
that or 10 acres Of logged off land
will furnish a good living for anybody
and the only thing necessary Is to get
hold of a unit, build a home and live
In plenty for the rest of ones lie.
Disillusionment has come all too soon
and no need wonder that those who
have been thus treated have resent
ment in their hearts and offer fertile
ground for the seeds Of discomfort
and radicalism.
It should be understood by every
one who takes up new land, whether
that be among the sage brush OF the
desert or In the logged of areas, how
ever salubrious the climate or rich
the soil, that the development OF
farm and home from raw lands entail
hard work and thrift, understanding
of the farming game or an intelligent
studious interest which makes 1t pos
sible to profit by the experience OF
others.
In connection with reclamation on
any considerable scale, there should
be well organized land settlement
plans These should include provi-
sion for the division Of the land into
proper units suitable for standard
farming enterprises, the building OF
small house, a unit poultry house,
small barn and the digging of a
well on each unit. 1t should also In
clude perhaps provision for COW, a
pig or two and a dozen hens. All
this should be provided at cost such
that bona fide settlers may make
first payment to cover in part the
cost of improvement. Further suit
able provision should be made where
by adequate supervision of the whole
project is provided for and whereby
settlers may have a long time period
under the amortization plan for fina
payments on their farms. Such lane
settlement plans are essential to the
. best success of a reclamation pro
) gram whether that be in connection
with logged of lands or lands undel
