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 j sufctfent water for the other "auJ' When this surplus water is CSa-lablvbowsver, lb will mean Wiich tp -those settlers who own 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.

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.

Ui'iol tiytlit l? ft. l)i'itmcnt of A.iktlllurt. DKK1 SOU.. - 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 (coarseness of the 'kept from puddli soil particles, is ing, ana can ne ri'iilnivf! or cultivated duriiltr the wct seaM)n jf desirable to prevent rank. n Krowth ol wcs' r turn under a green manure crop . -vaiI,i.Ie wa,,.r .,., t)cr. cut loss ly ill enable nmrMl flirminli n l. w- ....u . aii.) i..t. ....& ..? growing and fruiting season cover- j h lf ,e wlUl0Ut a t, ofbraiI alvvays manifesting the .f c3t t'llrifl nnd vigor ., fact, r..u. ,t(rift n.l vi.nr UStVJk tttV tlkwii . ,..

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. "'JISN IS fRRIGATlOfc'pfc.SIKABUt? Otivjoiisly, when the best work V 88. tx 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 iv jineu: Qnchtston ,ce, 10 compare witli tlie E ons reached by syMcnintic periinentdtion. , ''Jfo U- coiiiliHii'd.; 'Crook Goimty ReaKCo.
