morning and afternoon sessions and
about five hundred at the evening
sessions. Mrs. Nell K. Irion, grand

tiers were instituted during the year.
The sessions were very profitable
and enjoyable and the Nampa chap
ter and the Masonic fraternity spared
no pains or expense to entertain and
extend hospitality to its visitors. The
grand master of the Masonic lodge
was an honored visitor. Members of
Esther chapter, No. IA, Blackfoot,
were kept busy on committee work
and meeting with members from all
parts Of the state and making notes

STRAWBERRY DAY SUCCESS.

All attendance records at the
Pleasant Grove, Utah, annual straw
berry festival, were broken Thurs
day last when 10000 dishes of ber-
ries were served to the thousands of
visitors there to attend the celebra-
ton. A parade in which were more
than twenty-five floats was one of
the features of the day, while Chief
Dixey and his wild west performers
from Fort Hall proved one of the
most popular attractions of the Gel
ebration. This was the third annual
observance of strawberry day and it
was declared to have been by far
the most successful thus far con-

CALIFORNIA Is BUSY
CHEATING

Now that California has slowed
down In her industries and thousands
of people are running short of funds
some of their big newspapers are
carrying scarehead stories of what
great demand there is elsewhere for
laborers, and what lots of employ
ment there is for others.
The latest that has come to our
attention is such a story in a San
Francisco paper telling about the
great American Falls reservoir now
in course of construction, and that
twelve thousand men are needed.
An employment office was kept very
busy whoOping 1t up to get people
OF to that Ell Dorado, and once out
of California that state is rid of
them. They are now arriving at
American Falls, many of them des-
titute, and find scarcely anything do
ing, and construction work held up
pending legislation and the sale of
bonds.
California must have put its con-
science to sleep with a strong drug
to resort to such means as this, and
once more proves the truth of the
old adage, MANS inhumanity to man
makes countless thousands mourn"
When men walk the streets of our
Idaho towns asking for the price of
meal 1t is pretty safe bet that
they have come from California; that
they lived high and disregarded all
rules of thrift while times were good,
and that during that period they
held the old home towns in contempt.
Now they are back with a smile ex-
pecting the stay-at-homes to fork
over the price of meal as often as
mealtime comes around. 1t puts the
thrifty, decent sort of citizen in
predicament when deciding what re-
Spouse to make.

FULL CROPS IN SPITE
OF WATER SHORTAGE
By M. R. Lewis, Associate Profess
sor of Agricultural Engineering.

The prosperity of southern Idaho
as OF all the semi-arid states depends
on the irrigation systems. This yeaI
everybody must do his best II that
prosperity is not to be delayed again
KEEP THE bitches CLEAN
The season of the year is approach
ing when many canal systems are
badly blocked by moss and weeds.
There Is tendency to let this vege-
tation grow as long as 1t is possible
to get the water thru. This year the
streams are smaller than ordinary
and In many cases the canals and
laterals will be neglected more than
usual on that account. AS a matter
of fact that is the time when it Is
important to keep the canals clean.
The loss of water from a canal, both
by evaporation and seepage, will in
crease In the same, proportion that
the area of water surface increases
In many cases, especially in the small
Ter canals and laterals, the area Of
water surface will be twice as great
when there Is much moss and weeds
in the water way as when there Is no
vegetation present. That means that
in such cases there is twice the loss
of water by evaporation and seepage.
Besides this, the weeds themselves
use up large amounts of water.
1t is estimated that the loss of
water in those canals which may be
seriously affected by moss and weeds
will be from five to twenty per cent
per mile, or total losses of one-third
to two-thirds of the water diverted
to the bitches. Keeping the bitches
free of weeds and moss will very
reduce these losses in
some cases reducing them by more
than one-half.
CONTROL METHODS
Several means may be used to con-
troll both weeds and moss. Hand cut
ting with scythe and sickle is pro-
badly the most satisfactory method
10 use for weeds. The so-called moss
may be killed by drying out and ex-
)osure to the sun for a few days. !
Where it is possible to use this
method it is by far the most salts !
factory way of Kidding a canal of
moss. This is one of the advantages
If the rotation method of delivery.
t is only feasible on those bitches !!
which can be dried up completely |
lHu PRESUMABLY qulch- wv mere the |
moss is killed in this way, it takes
onger to start again than when it
8 simply cut of.
At this season of the year better
esults will be gained by cutting than
y dragging as the growth is not
rittle enough to break easily. A
exible saw operated by two men
ne on each side of the ditch is very
seful for the purpose Where
cams can be worked on the ditch
r on both banks, disc harrows have
iven good results. The discs are
1T nearly straight so as to cut the
rowth and not cover it up. In either
ase the vegetation will have to be
from the ditch by hand with {
,rks or rakes. Treatment with oil ]
nd chemicals have not proved sue =,
,SSful in most cases. I

A JOKE ON THE TWIN FALLS
WATER USERS

Early last week at a meeting of
water users at Twin Falls, protest
was made against the arrangement
in effect the past few weeks to have
the canals of the upper valley turn
their surplus down the river and
take credit for an equal amount of
stored water in Jackson lake. One
man in the meeting said that if this
surplus was turned down the river
the lower valley would have the ben
eft of it, and If it was turned out
upon the lands in the upper valley
to fill up the vOids, some of it would
return to the river during the sum-
mer and the lower valley would get
to use it. He received considerable
support in this contention, notwith-
standing G.. Clyde Baldwin, the
water master in charge of the whole
of Snake river at the Idaho Falls
office, advised that they were not
losing much if anything by the pres
ent arrangement, and that the in
creased efficiency of this plan was
best for the valley as a whole.
But the DIRECTORS prevailed and
got a committee appointed to go to
the upper valley to study the matter
and it was the intention to lay pro-
test before the state reclamation
commissioner at Boise if the COM
mittee report seemed to justify it,
When the committee got to the
upper valley they found meetings
were being called at many towns to
consider donating water from the
upper valley to mature crops in the
lower valley, and drawing upon the
very water supply they had been OPP
posed to storing.
Just how the committee feels
about being beaten to it In this big
generous move to save their own
country has not yet come to our
knowledge, but certain 1t is that If
the people of the upper valley had
been hidebound about holding on to
the water thus secured, the people |
of the lower valley would have good
reason for refusing them this free
use of their reservoir in future years. |
Every generous act on the part of
either valley towards the other will
probably help along in the discovery |
of the best ways to handle the water,
and it is q nightly good and grati-I
flying situation when generous act
of one valley or its representatives
rebounds to their benefit in some |
unexpected manner within a month |
or two as In the present case. If
the lower valley had refused the
favor to the upper valley in May, the

SCOTT MADE A
MISTAKE

George NJ Scott of idaho Falls
cracked a joke recently at ban
quet at Blackfoot, and for the houI
it was pronounced the joke of the
evening. But in the light Of pres
ent developments 1t is due to all who
heard 1t to know that while it was q
good laugh, the man who acts upon
it is the ultimate loser.
Mr.. Scott was addressing the del
egates to the proposed Eastern Idaho
Federation, and paid Idahoans a
compliment when he said, II have
observed that some of our Idaho
boosters have succeeded in direct
ing national attention to what is
called The Craters of the Moon.
Congress has actually set aside an
area in the lavabeds as a national
monument or wonderland. / just
have this much to say, that any
bunch of men who can set up our
lavabeds as an attraction for tour
lists and get away with it, can do
anything
The guests laughed heartily at the
joke, and the logical effect was that
the people who heard 1t will consid-
or that anyone who visits the Craters
OF the Moon area will be the butt of
a joke and will be cheated by the
trip.
The writer has studied Bob Linn
bert's famous article and pictures
published in the March number of the
National Geographic, spent a day
among the craters on some of the
least wonderful part of the area and
re-read Limbert's article, and we do

park rivals the Yellowstone as
scenic wonder, has less of the beau
tiful but as much of the wonderful,
and that he who acts upon SCOTS
joke is the one who is cheated. He
who thinks of this new park as some
thing that is "set up as an attrac-
ton for tourists will be cheating him
self and his state if he takes any
part in ridiculing it or hesitating
about giving it his endorsement. If
all IdahOans will stand together and
take all opportunities to assure peo-
pie that 1t is a great show and en-
courage people to see it for them
their state than they would accom-
plish il they cut the freight rate on
our railroads or found. new and bet
ell to the Yellowstone park is a very
substantial asset to the surrounding |
states, and the future travel to the |
Craters of the Moon will add consid- |
cradle to it. The first things needed |
there are road extensions and ho-
tells, guides and means of getting the |
products of the farms to the hotels
and camping places for consumption
by the tourists. The first duty of
Idahoans is to go and see it or parts
of it for themselves and witness their
own awakened interest; then they
will begin to understand what to do
to prepare the things needed for the
others who come after them. When
they observe how we'll satisfied they
are with their own visit to the place,
they will have the right attitude to- |
ward those vhO are getting interest
ed or who are planning to go.

It Orators of the Moon" stamped a !

name, but if anybody wants I
