8. After cutting, protects the cut
surfaces from seed-rotting organ

4. Controls surface-borne diseases,

"they could play longer" The

after which refreshments of ice cream
and cake and punch were served.

PETITION DISMISSED

full that he will have his final report
ready before the beginning of another
irrigation season.
And now, what? Where do we go
from here? Just how much more Of
this tomfoolery and horse play are the
water right owners going to stand?
How many more of their hard
earned dollars are they going to dig
up to finance these wild goose
chases? How much longer are
some of them going to play the
game of follow the leader" in chas-
ing the rainbow?
Every move of these self styled
emissaries, since the attempt to up
set the Webster decree a couple of
years ago has resulted in failure.
Every bit of advice they have offered
has been wrong. 1t ooes not matter
whether one attributes these mistakes
of the "emissaries" to just pure ig-
norance on their part or whether a
more sinister aspect is attached to
their purpose, the result to the mis-
led water right owners is the same.
AL they have received for their
money, effort and time is the repu-
tation for having been made to ap-
pear ridiculous in the minds of all
with whom these foolish moves have
brought them into contact. Not one
constructive idea has been offered or
attempted by their would-be leaders
who are so long on promises and so
short on performance.
1t is true that their followers are
growing steadily less as one failure
after another disillusions them and
OF course eventually they will have
no one but themselves to talk to. But
IN the meantime the valley is stand
ing still if not slipping little and
there are serious matters for the
water right owners to consider as
the time approaches for this project
to emerge from receivership,
Rurnor has it that the next move
Of the wrecking crew will be to take
the matter up with the Federal
Water Power Leasing board. Why
stop there? Why not tJke 1T up with
the League of Nations? There would
be about as much sense and reason
in one as in the other. The Leasing
board has about as much jurisdiction
IN this water case as has the King of
Siam. All that the board can do it has
done, when, at the request of Judge
Graves, it inserted in the lease of the
Prlest Rapids power site clause pro-
tectlng whatever rights the courts
might say the water right owners
have there.

EFFECT OF FALL IRRIGATION

Since 1924 an experiment has been
IN progress at the Irrigation Branch
Experiment Station at Prosser to de-
termlne the effect, if any, of fall irri-
cation on alfalfa. Fall irrigation is
generally understood to mean any ir-
rlgation after the third cutting or dur
ing the latter part of September and
early October. A series of three plots
has been used for this experiment.
One has been heavily irrigated in the
tall and not irrigated in the spring un-
til after the first cutting. One has not
tail irrigated but has received earlv
spring irrigations, and one has had
neither fall nor spring irrigations. The
result of this years crop which have
Just been obtained are fairly typical
OF the entire experiment. The fall ir-
rlgated plot produced 134 tons of al
talta per acre. The plot which was
not tall irrigated but received early
spring irrigation produced 2 tons ner
acre, while the plot which was neither
iail nor spring irrigated produced on
~ "a OF ton per acre.
This indicates that a fairly good
crop OF alfalfa can be produced the
tlrst cutting with only fail irrigation.
Hence in the early part of the season
tile water can be used for new seed
ing and other crops.
The details of this and other ex-
perlments at the Station will be fully
explained and the plots examined on
Field Day, July goth.

One of the most effective substan-
