Solid Facts 3
Say, Mr, Farmer, do you think
is paid John Powell to irrigate
liis crab apple trees this Beaton?
lie Bold abou. $10 worth of fruit
per tree but you just ask him.
Powell's word is good I think. I
saw an apple tree in It. B Driver's
dooryard that hail matured on
promises. These promises had
been made during the long years
while the people hoped for water
in the Wapinitia Dams hut failtd
lo gut any. The effort of the
iarmcrs and prior pioneer compl
ines only indicated that there
existed a desire and a demand for
water that flowed into the sea
But Driver's apple tree failed to
yield any fruit because the prom
ise of moisture had failed, utile
of the sister treea died and gave
up the struggle against tho sum
mer sun because they found 00
water to queueh their burning
thirst. But listen, this tree that
I saw in Driyer'u yard held des
perately 011 to tho life that God
K'lve it and one day a little stream
was harnessed and led through
the canal lor 29 miles to the door,
yard of the Driver home. This
was in 191!. The tree drank nnd.
drank and grew fresh and crispj
This year its deep green leaves;
shone in the sun unafraid of heat. I
The spring time rolled around
anil blossoms crowned the tree like
a gray haired mother's benedic
tion to her son. Just before the
Tyeh Fair this tree was laden be
neath a wealth of glorious fruit
tecoml to nothing on the Paeitic
slope; 125 00 worth of apples and
luore it) one season as a tribute to
M
tzzs ii y Xz&f $ggy
the rain maker's science. A.-k It.

A word about 'Fresno Scrar.ers',
A number of farmers and prospec
tive water users have ordered their
ffiBr.o scrapers throucli N. G.
lied i 11. In huge numbers the
scrapers tuny be purchased now l
a saving of $4.00 to MoO depend- j
ing on the number. The inereas-:
ed demand for construction equip-1
men t has depleted the stocks of
many machinery houses and or-
Lders would not be taken for pres
ent prices as 00 days or more
would elapse awaiting future de
liveries, lloweyer, about 40 fret -uos
are now available at citiitc a
saying and every irrigator should
avail himself of this saving by
seeing N. G. llediu before Novctu
ber 1st, 1911).
If you read article No. 2 in las
week's issue you now realsze that
you must obtain a fresno for tl e
proper leveling of your hind bi
fore irrigating or feeding.
Order your lumber and make
yutu box drug and buck scraper
now. It will cost you less than
any factory rig and do beltir
work. See J. S. Brown or N.i.
Hedin for buck scrapei dope.
Don't think you can skin" by
and not unify or level your laud
because you'll get the skinning
whi'ii crops and harvest time
comes is you neglect the leveling,
