Well yesterday was a red letter
day in our school district. We had
a school meeting and it was the
usual kind, more chin music than
harmony but as a thunder shower
is said to clear the atmosphere
this school meeting may clear up
some social clouds of long standing,
as there was some plain talk on all
sides but no one hurt. The meet
ing was a special one called to elect
a director in place of W. S.
Yaughan who recently resigned.
The nominees were Mrs. M. J.
Neary, Mr. A. Scherz, Mr. T. J.
Rowley. Mr. Scherz not bein"
nominated by a qualified voter with

elected as he had 13 votes and
Mrs. Neary 7. It was truly inter
esting to see so many ladies out
to attend a school meeting, and
now that the ice is broken in this
way I for one hope to see the ladies
take more interest in the schools
and school affairs. This is the

IRBIQATIOy AND HOETICULTUXE.
A certain class of alarmists have,
since the ?rr?rrn f inn mnrpmont
2 w . Jiiyiwilll I I W
started, felt called to warn the peo-
pie of the danger ot a loss of their
water supply. The state engineer
of Colorado, Prof. L. G. Carpenter,
of the state agricultural college at
Ffc Collins, has been making a
series of measurements of the inflow
from seepage back into the Cache
La Poudre and Platte rivers. In
his report
he states that as the
amount of water is increased by ap-
pnuiuvu lvs luc lauus, LiidL luc in
flow steadily increases. There is
a steady stream of water now flow
ing in the Platte river as far east
as Ft. Morgan; that the earth acts
as a reservoir to hold the water.
and it is gradually returned, to the
rivers below where it is applied.
He states in a report as follows: "As
an illustration of the importance of
the seepage water, we may mention
that in the last measurement of the
Poudre river 160 cubic feet per sec
ond was being received from the
canyon at the toot of the mountains.
This was being taken by the canals
within the first ten miles, and the
bed of the river was dry. Never
theless though numerous canals
were drawing water, the river at its
mouth had 120 cubic feet per second
that was being discharged into the
Platte. On the Platte, starting in
with 800 feet at the mouth of the
Poudre, 700 cubic feet were taken
out by the canals before Sterling
was reached; yet there was 600 feet
feet left, or there was this gain
coming back into the Platte by
seepage."
The investigation seems to show
that the amount is increasing from
year to year, and he gives reasons
that the ultimate amount has not
been reached. The estimate is made,
though as vet not accurately, that
from fifty to seventy-five per cent of
the water applied finds its wavback
into the rivers. Where the rainfall
is caught by plowed lands the irri
gable water and the rainfall amount
to fully ninety-five per cent that is
returned to the rivers from where
taken.
One of the fallacies of our grand
fathers as well as ourselves was
discussed at the late meetinc
of the state horticultural society at
Lincoln. 2veb. There has been a
theory that has been generally ac
cepted, and believed, that the sap of
)wn into its roots in
the fall and rises in the spring.
Recent experiments at different
agricultural colleges throughout
the country disprove this theory.
The sap remains in the bark and
body of the tree in winter and does
not pass down into the roots. The
sap does not run up in the spring.
The external warmth calls for more
moisture, and the limbs and leaves
draw it up.
At Cornell university, Y a
series of experiments were made to
test the sap theory. A hole was
cut in the bottom ot a sash, the
window was opened and the limb of
a tree was drawn in during winter.
The opening around the limb was
packed with cotton and cork so as
to prevent cold from entering. The
limb budded and blossomed, while
the remainder of the tree outside
was dormant: thus flpmnncfrr, tin rr
