H2U proves to be the dryest season
on record for irrigatlouists. The hea-
y snows of early December seem not
to have reached to any marked de
gree the higher altitudes, und most of
the suow seems to have already dis-
ppeured. In suine sections, it fell
on unfrozen ground and was almost
entirely absorbed by the soil, while
other sections the reverse was
true and unusual floods followed the
melting of the snow.
Reports from various sections of
the Slate indicate a very light snuw
fall in the higher altitudes upon wick

tion streams and till our reservoirs.
It seems, therefore, not too early to
heck up on our available supply and
to take such practical precautions as
may to avoid undue shortage for
the irrigated crops. The use of water
early in the season serves a double
purpose, it saturates the soil, much
which remains to supply the
plants, and also serves as a reservoir,

Recognition of the intradermic
localities will permit of the beneficial
use of water.
Under the statute, the State Engin
eer has charge of the distribution of
the waters of the various streams of
the State to those entitled to their
use as stablished by the State Water
Board or the courts.
Extreme shortage of water often
brings about unforeseen conditions,
which render the equitable distribu
tion of Iwater a difficult matter. How
ever with the confidence and cooper-
paratory to accrediting a herd
free from tuberculosis, has just been
announced by the Bureau of Animal

of Agriculture. The more general
use of the intradermic test is expect
ed to "speed up" the Federal and

TB. In the subcutaneous method
heretofore generally used, the tuber
