Judge Walters last week handed
down a three page decision on the
Hagerman Valley & Western rail
road case. The demurrer filed by
Solicitor Frazer for Mr. Clark was
sustained. This shows that Mr.
Clark has been in the right all the
time, and that the policy of ob
struction maintained by the other
side was decidely ill-advised and
had no foundation in factor in law.
This puts the question in the same
place it was before the injunction
was filed, and it is to he hoped that
some action toward the building of
the road will be taken at once.
Prof. Knorr, who had charge of
the Jerome experiment station last
year, is now located at Mitchell,
Nebraska, and has oversight of the
government irrigation project at
that place. He reports that farm
products are not doing well there
this year. The potatoes have blight
ed, the grain is turning out poorly,
and they are having very hard hot
winds.
The case of the state of Idaho vs.
C. W. Wernicke for embezzlement
was tried before Judge Fuller and
the defendant discharged, the court
holding that there was no evidence
showing or tending to show that
the defendant fraudently appropri
ated the sum of $782.08 oranv part
thereof to his own use.

Nothing Can Beat It
Wbxdbu., Idaho,
July 15, 1911.
To Whom It May Concern :
I am the owner of 320 acres of irri
gated latnl on the Twin Falls North
Side tract anil have plenty of water to
irrigate it. It costs $35.00 an acre for
a perpetual right plus 35 cents an acre
annually for maintaining of the general
system. Now let us stop and see what
this means to the farmer and to his
property, and so on to the end of time;
no drouths, no loss of crops, no failure
from any source if you carry out your
part and simply reduce farming to a
science. One man can irrigate after it
is prepared and seeded down to hay,
grain orchard and other crops from so
to 300 acres, according to how he has it
all arranged.
I have this year in cultivation about
111 acres and am handling it with one
man besides myself, except in haying
then having two men extra. From the
first cutting of alfalfa, part from this
year's seeding and part the year before,
1 cut and put up 00 tons and this from
30 acres, with two more cuttings for the
season. The hay was cut about 20 days
ago and the second crop is now over two
feet high all because we can give it the
required moisture at the right time and
at very little expense as compared to
the results. No wonder an irrigated
farm is worth and brings a bigger price
than in the rain belts where it rains
very often when you don't want it, and
as dry as a powder house when you
need it worst. This year has shown us
more plainly than ever the value of our
water right, for while the middle west
was scorching hot and not a drop of
rain, with their corn, hay, pasture, gar
den, grain, cotton and tobacco burning
up, we are watering our crops, and they
never looked better. What does this
mean to the farmer? Simply every
thing. What would you think of cut
ting seven hundred tons of hay before
you stacked a load, yet I have done ex
actly that thing in this state and never
got a pound of it wet, and that is the
case six times out of seA'en.
I have been twenty-nine years in Ida
ho and that after farming in Nebraska,
Kansas, Micliigan and Illinois. Was
also about four years in Colorado, and
I consider the Snake River Valley
ahead of any place I was ever in for gen
eral farming, fruit raising, live stock
and dairying. I have about 12 acres in
fruit that looks good and out of 500
trees planted this spring, but five have
died. From Grapes and berries planted
last spring, or a year ago, we are get
ting quite a display of fruit, especially
the grapes. Also have a locust grove of
about 2,000 trees that last year made a
growth of from 8 to 16 feet.
This is the home of the hog as he will
live and do well on alfalfa pasture in the
summer and then winter at the hay stack
along with the other stock ; therefore he
is one of the good paying animals here
as bacon and hum are worth from 1« to
22 cents per pound, and fresh pork dress
ed from 10 cents to 12.
This is a good all around stock country
on account of the abundance of hay and
pasture that can be raised to the acre,
our hay going from S to 8 tons to the
acre. This is also the home of the alfal
fa seed, which often pays from $75.00 to
$125.00 per acre.
The water was turned into the canals
iwo years ago last April ; therefore this
part of the country is a little over two
year, old, and the healthiest two-year
old you ever heard tell of, and that with
only a partial supply of Avater for the first
two years on account of the system be
ing so large that it took considerable time
to work it all out to the perfection we
have it now. Another strong point in
our favor is that it is in the heart of the
largest irrigated belt in the United States.
The winters are mild and seldom more
than 4 to 6 indies of snow, therefore a
shorter w inter feeding than in many lo
calities. I took my stock up from the pas
tures and began feeding last winter
the 13th day of January and this means
on
considerable to the farmer and stock
raisers.
While driving across the country yester
day, I saw several Avell improved farms
witli hay waist high and oats that will
easily go 75 bushels to the acre and wheat
40 bushels, and this on new ground that
had never been in crop Indore. These
farms are as well developed as the aver
age farm in the middle states after ten
fifteen years, and the whole reason is
climate and irrigation.
or
onr
Our well is 212 feet deep with plenty
of the best water on earth, and pumped
by electricity at an average cost of about
$2.00 per month. This part of Idaho
has more water power than any other
dozen states in the Union, and it is being
put to use, not only by the cities and
towns, but by the fanner at a very light
expense, and the day is not far distant
when almost every fanner will light his
house, pump the water, grind the feed,
do the washing and churning and
merous other things so hard and disagree
able for the housewife to do. Just think

A Successful Farmer Near Wendell
Wenheu., Idaho,
July 18, litll.
To Whom It M av Com ers :
i filed on bin acres 5*â miles south of
Wendell at the time of the opening in
October, 1907. I moved to Jerome in
the follow ing April from eastern Oregon
and stayed in Jerome a year. On the
21st day of April, I went out to the
ranch. I had to grub oil' sage brush to
get a place to set my house. We had
A'ery little capital to AVork on. Now we
have 120 acres under water, cleared up
and in crops of different kinds. We
hat e three miles of rabbit win» fence on
the place, a v$ry comfortable six
room house and a splendid tvell of
water. We have the finest water here
that I ever saw anywhere. I struck
an inexaustible supply at a depth of Ion
feet.
We have our ditches running full of
water everywhere. This year I could of
drawn lots more water than I was aide
to use. I will have lots more alfalfa
and feed of different kinds for my stock
this year than I shall need. I have 85
acres of commercial 'orchard, winter ap
ples, set out this spring and lots of my
trees have made at the present time
from 18 inches to a two foot growth.
In my orchard I have 80 acres of corn
and potatoes; have about 70 acres of
corn anil lots of it stands waist high
now.
We are not suffering with the heat at
all here. It gets somewhat warm in the
day time but we need that to produce
our crops, but it is ahvays cool at night.
We always need covers to protect ns
when asleep and we get up feeling re
freshed in the morning. I have lived
and farmed in several different states,
both in a rainy country and in an irri
gated country, and we feel better satsi
fied and contented right here -than
place we have ever lived.
