A-URIQIITHR OUTLOOK.
It is nood news, that .conies this
week vKJiUhe naholiHcetncut that
;hcre has bech 'la "change y Iht

aientof the Columbia fioiitlicrn If ri
oting Company; good now? because
t promises that the trouble, which
has existed between the state land
board and Ibis company for the last
ear or longer will now be brought
to an end. tybile no oflidsl an
nouncement has come from the
State land board to show that the
pew management has agreed to the
' propositions demanded by the
$oard, yet it is natural to believe
that such agreement will be made,
because that is the only manner in
ivhicb. the stockholders can protect
themselves and save their contract
&om being cancelled. Further
sore, the new management announ
ces that it will proceed with the
reclamation of its 27,000 acres, that
t will build the necessary rcser
. oire, and that it will prepare to
"Urnish water to homesteaders and
others owning land not in the com
Tmy,s,ceErcgation.,i Thi, of course,
tAU not be done until the com
pany's entire segregation is re
tlaimejd and it is shown that there

CSa-lablvbowsver, lb will mean

ralliab!c lands that can be" watered
rom the Columbia Southern
ditches. ;
, Witli n cofj-jjraay at the" head of
this projsct'that intends to act in
ood fdith, there is no reasbn why
it should hot be one of the Ixst
reclamation projects in the West.
Cf here will be a sufficiency of water
"When ttiL reservoirs are built, the

Undofgood depth, 'is section
possesses the latent possibilities off
making splendid homes for hun
dreds ot people,. What is needed
to accomplish this result is p. com
pany that will act in good fdiih in
the reclamation of the land., indi
tuitions are now such as to warrant
uc in Hie belief that thencv man
agement will so proceed.
Vice iWideift Fairbanks, the
man who has the .presidential bee
luzzing so vociferously in his bon
'. t-t, loaned his committee room in
hc nation's capitol to a set of railroad
lobbyists during the time the rail
road "Rate Dill" was under con
sideration by congress. II. T.
Newcomb,' "one of the moit effi-
tent lobbyists in Washington,
was installed in that room with a
'orce of clerks and typewriters.
kud yet Fairbanks is seriously
ti earnest in his (uest of the re
. ublican nouiiuatiou for president.
The only manner in which he emu
Vvef seize that nomination would
je by the domination of the repub-
tea", convention by the railroad
Uud Other coiporate interests; the
.eople would uever give it to
Mm. Thii more probable result
U ill be that Fairbanks will be so
ar frdjtt the coveted gal' at the end
lhat he will not eveh know' he was
"u the race. Think of a Fairbanks
.ucceeding "thafrnan Roosevelt!"

Irrigation in fruit Growing

The third condition- essential to
the highest cflcctivwitM of adequate
cultivation in the. production of
fruits is a deep solh This is the
direction in which the Miils of arid
regions arc uniquely eminent and
the full significance of soil depth is
only now coming to be recognized.
Rich, deep soils have been pre
scribed for triiits from time imme
morial, but formerly this concep
tion proceeded chiefly upon the
vast amount of plant food thus
rendered available. Depth as a
condition of water holding is not
less important. In iact, in pro
ceeding by cultivation to escape
irrigation, water holding is the rul
ing function, because any amount
of plant food is useless without ade
quate moisture to render it avail
able. It is proper to think of a
deep soil ns a great subterranean
reservoir as well ns a great storc
houe of plant lood. Into this
reservoir the water sinks through
the surface, roughly broken t the
beginning of the wet season, pass
ing to the lower strata so teadily
that large downpours arc quickly
absorbed and n large volume of
water is thus taken below for the
use of the trees during the tollow-
tug summer, iiicsuriacc. uy tue

late in the summer to allow a cer
tain nmmtnt of drvinc of the soil
to induce the tree to ston its cxten-
" , 7 ...
sioti aim mature its wood season
ably. On the other hand, in other
parts of the coxst with lea's danger
of frosts the cultivation cover of the
Foil reservoir is maintained until
the opening oi the succeeding rainy
season to support late growth and
to carry over n part of the con
served moisture to protect the trees
in case the Idllowing year's ratniaii
should be seunt. In this deep soil
storage of water lies the secret of
the drought endurance of trees in
the arid region. They are pre
pared for drought by deep rooting
111 p. protected reservoir of moisture.
The contrast is seen in the be
havior of trees on uncultivated
shallow soils in the humid regions
of tlm country and Europe, where
a few weeks of drought destroy
vast values in fruit crops and crip
ples the tree for following years.
There are instances in abundance
also in the arid region where the
soils are not deep enough to form
such a reservoir as has been de
scribed For these reasons cultiva
tion can not always guarantee the
thrift am, illcce 0f the tree, but
unquestionably ill orchards which
have been kept as ture fieldx,
or where very slack cultivation has
ice praQtjci there are many in-
.unci of deep soils which have
not been able to discharge, their
proer function in supporting tliu
sutmner thrift and iriiitim' of
trees' because their leservoir
cover has never been opened
to" receive the full rainfall,
atlU in uever closed to retain such
part pf It as they did refpive. In
lofmy places, therefore, cultivation
may completely rcmov. the neces
sity "of irrigation.

for moisture reception nnd reteu
tion is done by the fruit grower
and still the ticc shows distress
during drtitlght uud becomes irrev
tthir in bcitritig tit regions to which
it is well suited, or when the fruit
is nut of satisfactory sire and qual
ity even when the trees arc proper
ly ptHutd nnd thiued, it is muully
desirable to secure irrigation to
supplement the natural moisture
supply. This assumes that the
study t)f the behavior of the tree is
the bdlt gttide to nu understanding
of its" needs This is plainly the
conclusion to be drawn front long
experience in Western irrigated
regions. While it is perfectly true
that there is a direct relation be
tween the normal rainfall uud the
need of irrigation, and the general
prevalence of irrigation may, to 11
certain extent, be uiapt)ctl upon
the curves of least rainfall, it is al
so true that large rainfalls do not
necessarily free a locality from the
necessity of irrigation. This fact
has been foreshadowed in the dis
cussion of cultivation If it should
appear that n normal rainfall of 15
inches is cnouu'h to assure the pro
fitableness of deciduous fruits in
some valleys, it would not 1 safe
to assume that 40 or even 50 inches
would prelude the necessity of
irrigation in others. As a matter
of fact, a rainfall of 40 inches
might destroy many fruit trees on
a level stretch of heavy soil by
long .submergence of their roots in
some places, while 40 inches in
another place, poured Uxin a shal
low, unretciitive soil, might not
bring an enrly peach to perfection.
It is therefore unsafe to write an
irrigation precriptiou upon a rain
fall record. Reasonable accuracy
could be secured by a formula
which includes rainfall, soil, slojte,
depth, and character, summer
tcuicrature, and atmospheric
humidity, and character of the tree:
but Urn would involve wearisome
computations. Moreover, all theo
retical forecasts based upon com
puted moisture requirements and
local rainfall are apt to include
wide errors. The study of the tree
and its fruit is most satisfactory,
to the practical fruit gtower nt
least.
From wide observations in many
regions for many years it is possi
ble to mention the iollowlnn as
fundamental facts:
(t) There are wide differences
in the moisture requirements, not
only of the different kinds of fruit
trees, but of the early and late
varieties of the same fruit.
Ci) Trdesof the citrus family
require much more water than
those which drop their leaves dur
ing a part of the year.
(3) Hut all evergreen fruit trees
do not require more water than all
deciduous fruit trees; for example,
the olive will bear welt with less
water than is required by n jicach;
still, satisfactory olives must not be
expected unless the tree has what
it needs for free growth.
(4; The needs of nil trees arc
conditioned udoii their age and
work. A moisture supply which
may bring satisfactory growth to
young trees may not enable the
same trees to bear regularly aud
profitably.
(f) Shallow-rooting fruit plants,
even if well cultivated, may lierish
during a drought which will have
no evil effect uiKiti fruit trees and
vines 011 the SNiue soil, because of
the deep rooting of the Utter.
Kvideutly, then, conclusions as
to the desirability of irrigation
must be drown witli due knowl
edge of the general requirements of
the growth contemplated, as well
as character of the laud to be nluut
d, but there are specific needs of)
the tree pertaining to its different
phases of growth and fruiting
which are also Involved in the
question of when Irrigation is de
mrnble, I.oug observation of these
phenomena in 11 region where there
has been extended practice both
wjtli nnd without irrigation may
yield 30111c facts, widely significant,
of moisture requirement, as learned
