Truth of the Philippines," and who
will deliver the lecture at Clovis, will
.-proppably meet his old time friend,
-Governor Curry at Mountainair, on
next Wednesday and come with him
to Santa Fe to deliver his lecture here.
The lecture is one worth while hear
ing and Governor Reynolds should be
given a big house.
Governor Reynolds served as a cap
tain in the Spanish-American war, in
-command of a company of the 10th
Ohio. Later he was commissioned a
captain by President McKinley and
-went to the Philippine, In 1899, with

Attorney Gener I to Decide Bi
Attorney General Frank W. Clj icy
.receives many inquiries that apj fear
ludicrous, but today he had one from
Orton, New Mexico, which differed
-from the others in that.it enclosed a
fee, a dime, not of Mexican or Cana
dian mintage, but a real TJ. S. dime.
The letter asks the attorney general to
look up the law and render an opinion
in order to decide a bet, probably
made while the farmers were watch
ing for rain in Quay county. The let
ter says:
"Dear Sir: II there is any law pro
hibiting the sale of pictures such as
women naked or almost so in the Ter
ritory of New Mexico, piease tell me
of the nature of it as best you remem
fcsr it without the trouble of looking
it up. I enclose 10 cents and thank
you for a reply. I nor any of my
friends" are selling these. This is to
-. settle an argument and we know of
no better authority.".
As a matter of fact, New Mexico has
no statute covering the matter, for the
' United States statute, Section 5389 R.
S. U. S., applies directly and specific
ally to the District of Columbia and
the territories, and it provides a pen
alty of from six months to five years

WHEAT CROP
OF NORTHWEST
Washington Leads With 36,000,000
Bushels, Then Corner Oregon
With 14,000,000.
Spokane, Wash., July 16. Reports
received by L. G. Monroe, secretary of
the Spokane chamber of commerce,
from 367 important points in Wash
ington, Idaho, Montana and Oregon,
show that the wheat crop this season
will be between 62,000,000 and 63,
000,000 bushels. Thirteen counties
in eastern Washington report approx
imately 36,000,000 bushels, Oregon
will cut about 14,000,000, Idaho is
credited with 7,000,000, while incom
plete data from Montana shows be
tween 5,000,000 and 6,000,000 bushels.
It Is believed these statistics are
ultra-conservative, as well informed
ranchers and mlllmen say Washing
ton will yield not less than 37,500,000
while Idaho and Montana should each
touch the 8,000,000 mark. The crop
I will . be woi-fli; more to the growers
than in T907, whiif the .record yield
was harvested. Prices are higher for
all grades of wheat, ranging from
$1.15 for bluestem to 95 cents for the
red varieties.

Acre Tract
NAT. IRRIGATION CONGRESS
Sub-Drainage Represents the
Acme of Economy and
Science.
Spokane, Wash., July 16. Fourteen
approved methods of irrigating, adapt
ed to practically every kind of land
aud the various tree, root and vine
crops, will be demonstrated on a 1j
acre tract in the Spokane valley with
in a stone's throw of the city limits
in connection with the 17th sessions
of the National Irrigation Congress
in Spokane, August 9 to 14. The pur
pose is to afford the delegates to the
congress and visitors an opportunity
to study the best known means of
supplying moisture by artificial
means to orchards, berry and sugar
beet fields, vineyards and hay and
grain lands. There will also be dem
onstrations by manufacturers of ap
paratus used in modern irrigation.
Ten acres of land has been set aside
for displays of machinery.
What Is considered by experts to
be the acme of scientific Irrigation
and at the same time the most eco
nomical method will be shown in the
use of porous tile pipe laid under the
ground. The principle is the antithe
sis of drainage in that the pores and
joints of the pipes give out sufficient
water to supply the plant life above
them. This plan is declared to be
practicable In supplying moisture for
fruit trees, vegetables, berries and
almost every kind of product, the
advantage being that the water car
ried by the pipes is discharged direct
ly below the roots of the plants, In
stead of on the surface of the soil.
In comparison with the foregoing
plan there will be shown the primi
tive method, practiced by irrigator?
before it was learned how to distrib
ute water economically, and to the
best advantage. No grading or level
ing was done on this tract; in fact,
in contour it is as nature left it. Wa
ter is taken to the highest point on
the land to distribute itself over the
ground. The idea in this is to show
waste of water and soil by washing
and erosion.
The individual system, also to ne
demonstrated, calls for piping water
to every tree. To make it effectivfe
the water must have a head. The
pipe, which may be small, is run to
within three feet of a tree to dis
charge water into a circular ditch or
basin built around the tree. This
method is desirable in districts where
a small amount of water is desired to
do a large amount of irrigating. There
Is no loss from evaporation or seep
age, and only the ground in which the
tree grows receives the water. The
cost of Installing this system Is much
larger than for the open ditch or
flume system, but the different Is
soon made up on the cost of water,
or where It Is paid for by the acre
foot. Sublrrigating by means of open
ditches will also be shown. ' The
ditches are of such depth that the
water is absorbed without moistening
the surface. This method is advan
tageous where soil has a tendency to
bake or become crusted after watering-
Two tracts will show the practica
bility of watering steep land in open
ditches. The inclines on one tract
are from 30 to 45 degrees. The other
shows the terrace system, water be
ing dropped from one terrace to the
other. It will be demonstrated that
land can be irrigated by this plan
without washing or erosion. 1
One form of the corrugation sys
tem Is applied to soil where the land
slopes in more than one direction,
the ditches being made to follow the
natural contour, which needs no grad
In Water is supplied through one
box and the ditches Bpread out In fan
shape over the land.
Another plan of the so-called cor
rugation Idea, best adapted to sugar
beet, alfalfa and grain lands with a
gentle slope, shows water distribu
tion by means of V-shaped ditches or
rills, 21-2 inches deep and about 18
inches apart." ' The marginal dike or
basin system of irrigation shows
ditches built surrounding the tract of
varying size running from one acre
to 10 acres In area. To practice this
method successfully the land must be
level or have only a gentle slope. Suf
ficient head may be had in the water
itself to cause- it to spread over the
ground.
On another tract Is the dike system
which follows the natural contour of
the land, This method 'is adapted to
ground with a slope, but is' not prac
tical for level land. It is similar to
the side dike system but the first cost
