Or. Elwood Submits Special Report
OF Inspection Trip Through
Western States to Secre-

Observation-Disclosures of a care
fully planned policy for colonization
of irrigation projects to be construc-
ted in the future was urged by DR..
Elwood Mead, commissioner of recla-
nation in special report he submit
ted to Secretary Work upon his re-
turn from 9000-mile inspection trip
in the west. Jr. Meade visited pro-
jects in Utah, Nevada, California,
Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho,
Wyoming and Nebraska.
"On each proposed new project, an
economic survey has been organized
under the direction of G. C. Krent-
ger, director of the division of farm
economics" said the report. "In this
survey the cooperation of the state
agricultural colleges of Utah, Neva-
da, California, Oregon, Washington
and Idaho has been secured and these
institutions have generally extended
the services of experts on soils and
farm management. These experts are
now engaged in working out the
problem of what water for irrigation
is worth in the districts of their
states where the proposed projects
are located and what it will cost set
tiers to change raw land into i'm
proved farms. When the experts
have reached their conclusions of all
of the proposed projects, they are to
be submitted to local committees of
bankers, farmers and business men
for their suggestions as to costs and
methods of development.
every factor that would lessen
expense and hasten development of |
income must be considered. While |
water charges must in the end come
from irrigated crops, irrigation
works that are not followed promptly
by irrigated agriculture are finan-
clal burden to land owners. Long
delayed agricultural development has
wrecked more of these enterprises
han all other causes combined. The
'ostlier the works the more import
mt it is that this fact be recognized"
DR.. Mead pointed out that hereaf-
er more attention must be given as
o where and how money needed in
agricultural development is to be OBJ
aimed, where and how settlers are to
re obtained, and how the settlers
must be aided and directed to enable
hem to use their money, effort and
lme to the best advantage.

SILHOUETTES OF STATE CAPITOL
(state Capitol Bureau)

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug. s. About 40 per cent of the satsuma trees in the Alabama satsuma belt were killed by, the cold of last winter, according to c. c. Starcher, former state horticul- turist at Auburn. Mir. Starcher stated that he had not made recent trip to the gulf coast section, but had been advised from that section as to the dam age. He stated that the winter killing of satsumas was no greater at. Mont gomery than in the gulf coast counties, pointing out that two out of three sat sumas on the capitol grounds survived last winter. The satsuma is recon mended as an ornamental in the lati- tude of Montgomery, however, as frosts interfere with the fruit here so that only an occasional crop can be expected. An interesting point mentioned by Professor Starcher was that the pecan crop of this year, tree for tree, is about four times as heavy in the Montgomery territory as in the gulf coast section. He stated that oceans have consistently yielded better in the Montgomery ter ritory than on the coast.
 Representative R. NJ. Guy of LOwndes county was at the capitol tS-. day and added to the numerous optimis- tic reports as to crop conditions com ing in from over the state. He de- clared that Lowndes county has the best crops in four years, and this in spite of a severe labor shortage.
 Shipments of many sets of the 1923 code of Alabama are going forward each day from the office of the secretafy of state. Alabama attorneys and business firms are quick to supply their H. braries with the same.
 The codes are in four volumes, and the set sells for $10.
 Secretary of State S. H. Blan says that he will soon be receiving the new codes by carload lots from Foote and Davies, publishers, Atlanta, Ga. About one carload has already been distributed by Cyrus Brown, secretary of the code commission, who has charge of the free distribution to officials entitled to codes, and by Secretary of State s. H. Blan, who has charge of the sales.

Money Finds Owner Very Promptly

The other day, Eugene Swain,
who lives on the Crowell road, took
out his pocket book to pay bill at
noticed that 1t had disappeared, OF
course he made immediate search but
could not find it. Later In the same
day, Norman Laney, about IA years of
age, OF 219 North avenue, picked up
a pocket book in front of Coles Fur
niture store. He very promptly came
to our Office and left it to be adver-
tised for the owner. Yesterday
morning, when Mr.. Swain came IN to
deliver milk on his route, he called
in to advertise for his lost pocket
book and we had the pleasure of
handing 1t to him. He was of course
very grateful and left a liberal re-
ward for the young man, whose
thoughtfulness and honesty enabled
him to recover his property within "a
hours after it's loss.
Our long experience with lost and
found ads has taught us that where
articles like coats, hats, axes, tire
chains, etc. are found, they are al
most certain to be brought in here
and left for the owner. In the case
of money 1t is not SO certain and per-
haps in 500 of the instances the own
er fails to receiver his lost pocket
book. The young man above MEN,
toned has set very good example in
this respect and the public, as well as
Mr.. Swain, should be grateful to him
for his courteous action In the matter.
