An effort is being made to give the local ranchers an opportunity to work on the road to pay their water taxes this spring. This will be a tremendous boost to the farm ers, for with the very low prices of farm produce It will be a difficult matter to llnd the amounts neces sary for the overhead and mainten ance charges which must be paid before water can be obtained. The ad work was not to be started until after the tax money came in. but if plans materialize the men will work out the necessary amount and the county will turn the money er to the irrigation district. Far mers are receiving 12 cents a dozen for eggs and a rive gallon can of cream brings about $3.50. It would take a good many cans of cream to pay even the O. and M. charges.
