Those who grow crons by irrigation depend to much upon added water and too littlo upon cultivation of the soil." He cited the sugar beet in dustry, pointing out that where as the average yield in this country is ten tons nn acre, a reasonably good yield will be twenty tons. 'When they reach thatpoint," he continued, "wo can prpduco within tho continental United States all the sugar our people need. We are now paying out in the neighborhood of $100,000,000 a year for tho sugar that could be grown hero if our farmers understood' how to grow the sugar beet "Efforts are being made by tho federal find Hfjlti trnvnrnmnnfa tn help in these directions." In holding that riparian rights pertain only to the usual flow of tho waters of a stream and not to tho Hood waters, .the United States Court recently gave a ided forco to judicial declarations of tho stato courts on irrigation questions. Tho court coincided fully with tho doctrine of benefi cial use of waters. The litigation just ended was between the Eastern Oregon Land Company and tho Willow Creek Land and irrigation Com pany, the latter company beintr engaged in tho construction of a dam to impound flood waters of Willow river at a point about SO miles nbovo Vale. Both parties to tho suit own lands in tho vicinity of Willow Creek which nro subject to irri gation, tho Willow River Compa ny being engaged in constructing extensivo reclamation works and have also purchased all the recotr- nized water rights on tho stream, whilo tho Eastern Oregon Com pany heretofore has relied upon flood waters overflowing its hold CIRCULAR OP INFORMATION. no louowing circular of in formation, compiled by State School Superintendent J.

President Kerr disircs co-operation with tho government for ir rigation work in the Willamette Vnlley and also tho establish ment of a co-operative fruit ex periment station in Southern Oregon where tho necessary land, water and electric power havo been donated by Mr. Ray of "Jackson county. Tho dispatch further says: "Another project laid boforo the department by Mr. Kerr con templates tho establishment of a co-operative dry farm experi ment station in the Harney Val ley. Details of this scheme will bo prepared and submitted to tho board of regents of the Agricul tural College in December.

He thinks the people of Europe can bo sun plied direct from Portland and that the demand there for this highly prized fruit will bo strong. Would Thrhc on Waste Land Here There arc thousands of square miles of waste lands in the Rock ies that are practically of no commercial value, so far as food production is concerned, says Capt. Fritz. Duqucsno in Success Magazine. Comparatively speak ing, there is littlo lifo in them. As I write, I can, without long thinking, call to mind fourteen animals, all excellent food and at least two fino beasts of bur don -that would thrivo and mul tiply in that territory. Tho yak of tho Asiatic mountains is used exactly for the same purpose as our own domestic cattle. Its beef is as good as our ox beef; its milk compares favorable with The dairy cow does more than bring financial success to the dairy farmer. ' She makes him a better citizen than ho would otherwise be. Her influence upon home conditions is a most pleasing contribution to those factors which are responsible for the changed conditions which prevail in the farm homes of to day. Thousands of these homes aro now characterized by com fort and happiness where for merly they were blighted by drudgery and unhappiness. Better financial conditions havo contributed to this change, and the dairy cow has been in no small measure responsible. She has contributed still in another way. The dairy cow teaches kindness. Her owner soon learns that only by treating her kindly can he secure tho hiuhest possi ble returns from her, and she re sponds quickly to kind words and proper care. Her disposition is one that tho human family might well emulate. She is patient and long suffering, acquiescing mutely in the arrangements made by her owner for carrying on the dairy business, striving at all times to repay him for every effort made for her care and comfort The members of the family, as they come in contact with her kindly disposition, aro influenced for good. As they appreciate the financial benefit to come from caring for her well they take a deeper interest in her, in doing so thoy unconsciously cultivate those qualities which make them better citizens. The dairy cow the prototypo of man's best friend is weilding a greater influence than she is generally credited with. She has always "been found in the front ranks in tho march of civilization and no agricultural country can long prosper without her. She is a potent factor in tho unbuild ing of such a country, financially and socially, and a wise peoplo will appreciate her and encourage tho industry of which she is the foundation.
