ditch has been diiK on the Irrigation
end of the scheme. This was done a
number of urs ego and has been in
use, though the rainfall In that section
has been great enough to prevent any
large utilization of the water for this
purpose. In one la e where the did h

Beers, however, scout th idea, as thej
say the lesser fall in the ditch, except
at the point Ot discharge at the dams,
will be so much less than that ot" the

tendency to change its channel and
ihat diversion dams, for use during
low and median stages, will be neces

These dams will not be high enough
to affect the flow during high water.
Harris Escapes Ouster Suit.

The governor made the request on the

tained that Mr Harris' term as mayor
expired by limitation on May 7 and it
would iiot he possible to get any ac

Have you SVCf had a poor stand of

to your advantage to avoid it. A poor

growing condition or to planting in
Jurod seed corn. You cannot SffOrd
to plant corn without knowing how
tunc h Of il will grow. The best way
to Investigate this is with the geriui
nation test.
First examine carefully seversl
grains from each ear by cutting or
biting in such a way as to expose th"
tip of the germ. Discard all ears hav
ing discolored or shrunken germs, be
cause this indicates weakened vitality.
For further testing in the germination
box, use only those car,s with a bright
WaX) germ. It would be a waste of
time and work to test the vitality of
ears which are likely to be unsound.
Remove three grnins from different
pails of each of two hundred ears se
lected at random after the apparently
unsound ears have been thrown out.
Mix th(,se grains together and ger
minate them in a simple1 test box, as
follows: Upon a layer of sawdust.

the grains on this. Cover this with an
