IN WYOMING, out of a produc-

total of 1,402,08 bushels have been
placed under either loan or purchase

Only 273,829 bushels of this
amount are under purchase agree

of water is available this condition
has come about. With most of the
farmers over-irrigating at times, the
surplus water in the soil begins to
move and accumulate in certain
areas. If the soil structure does not
provide underground drainage, a
Doggy condition is bound to occur
on some of the land.
In a recent report of the water
resources survey under way by the
state engineers office, it is shown
that about % percent of the land
under irrigation systems in the six
counties studied is not now being
irrigated. This represents los, 714.68
acres, SO percent of which is out
of production because of need for
drainage. This survey also shows
that "a percent of the land not now
being used in these projects is be-
it needs leveling, Is percent
needs ditch and structure repairs, IL
percent has inadequate water, 6 per-
cent requires cleaning, and 4 per-
cent requires weed control. In other
words, the largest single factor that
takes land out of production on ir-
rigation projects is seepage and
water logging.
To provide subsurface drainage of
a project or area is an expensive
undertaking. 1t requires first a study
of the underground water to de-
termine the cause. 1t also requires a
study of the soil structure. The
drainage system must then be r
veyed and planned. All of this re-
quires technical services. The soil
conservation service has provided
this for many soil conservation
districts.
. Prevention Cheaper {.
Whenever possible, prevention is
usually the cheaper method of elm
mating the damage from seepage. 1t
should ever be remembered that
when water is applied to land it
should be done to supply the needs
of plants.
If you do not provide a course for
a surplus, it will take the channel of
least resistance. The more resistance
offered, the more chance there is for
damage. 1t is therefore very i'm
portant to make provision for TAX
ing care of surplus water from every
field. In other words, be able to
get the water off the land as well as
to get it on.
In the original design of an irri-
cation system provisions should be
made for drainage. This is particu-
larly true with respect to surface
drainage. In some cases subsurface
drains can also be installed when
the project is constructed, if an adj
n study indicates the need.
Fortunately, it is not always toe
late to correct seepage after it has
taken land out of production. Drain
age and preventive measure will
redeem a high percentage of the
land which might otherwise be per.
manently unproductive.
County agents can help operators
do a better job of irrigation to pre-.
vent waste and seepage. An efficient
irrigation system is more of an asse-
than an efficient tractor.

High School Band May
Practice In Ola Naval
Commissary Building

old Naval Commissary in White
street were announced today by
Horace O'Bryant, county school
superintendent * ~
Dillon came in this morning to
visit O'Bryant. Dillon and his
family had been in California
visiting his children and their
children.
Asked about the number of
bandSmen he would have at high
school this year, Dillon said the
size of the band would be regu-
lated largely by the place where
the band would practice.
Then O'Bryant spoke up.
Il think that next month VIC
are going to use the Naval Com
missary. | have talked the mat
ter over with Captain c. c. Adell,
commander of the Naval Base,
and / find that maybe we can
use the commissary building
There is ample room in the
building for band of 100 or
more to practice. The building
is right across the road from the
High School and that makes an
excellent location"
Dillon said that he would get
as many bandsmen as possible. He
figures band of at least so
pieces, but may go to larger
number if possible.
! He announced meeting would
be held at the High School from
9 am. until IL noon tomorrow for
the parents of children who are
eligible for the band. They may
see the band instruments and the
parents may select any instru-
ment they want children to learn
to play. Children from the fifth
through the ninth grades, Dillon
said, are eligible.

Christian Democrats
Lead, With Other
Conservatives Finishing
Ahead Of Communists

BERLIN, Aug. 15.-Commun-
istic propaganda that had been
persisting several days that the
voters of western Germany were
apathetic over the election on
Sunday, proved to be false. as "a
million of the 81 million voters,
or approximately 70 percent went
to the polls.
Communists must have BELT
tied the election because they
foresaw their defeat. They were
the last of the party candidates
that were seeking election.
The conservative element in
western Germany won an out
standing victory, as each of the
leading parties is rightwlng OF
leaning toward the rightwing
Christian Democrats poled T.,
$4,000 votes, with Social Demo
Gratis only 100000 votes behind.
Free Democrats amaSsed 5000.
0O0 votes and other parties snow
ed their former strength, except
the Communists, who polled
1,333,000 votes, OF four percent
fewer than they received at the
election in 1916.
Conservative declared today
that the outcome of the election
demonstrates the rising Senti-
ment in western Germany against
the Communists, whose party
was the only one that fell be
hind in its total during the last
two years.
The working majority of the
conservatives will be overwhelm-
ing in parliament, as the Chris
tian Democrats, Social Demo
Gratis and Free Democrats line
up solidly against Communists.
