Will End Wasteful Use is
Belief of Mercedes People
New Plan Being Tried Out
By A. L. & I. Co. May Re-
volutionize Charges in The
Lower Rio Grande Valley
~
BY RALPH I.. HI'ELL
MERCEDES. Texa' July 12 A new
era is dawning upon the Lower Rio
(irande Valley an era of the scientific
distribution and conservation of water
used for irrigation purposes. While
the larger problems of flood control
are being considered the proper util-
ization of the water used by the in-
dividual farmer and orchardist is being
worked out carefully.
It has long been a recognized axiom i
in the Valley that enough water is |
wasted each year to irrigate the en-
tire section the next year but until j
recently no active steps have been j
taken to overcohie this evil. And evil
it is for two reasons. In the first
place waste of anything is a cardinal
economic su. and to waste water I
which costs time and money to convey
to the farmer can be no exception to I
the general rule in the second place. I
a heavy application of water will j
ruin the best land in the world and J
there are too many who consider that
water-logged lands are not the least
of the dangers confronting the Valley
grower.
It must be admitted that the method
pursued by the irrigation companies in
the past in selling their product—
water has not been conducive to the
economical use of water by its cus-
tomer.' the farmers and the orchardmen.
Water has heretofore been sold at
a set price per irrigation. If a man
was careful and used the minimum
amount of water it cost him just the
same number of hard earned dollars as
—
his neighbor paid who spread water all
over the place and through careless
methods used twice and three times
as much as was needed. It has been
estimated by men giving considerable
thought and study to the proposition
of conservation of water that the* aver-
age irrigation in the Valley consumes
12 acre inches of water while it is
universally admitted that with few
exceptions four acre inihes would do
the same amount of good and would
h ave the land in much better shape.
While the truth of the statements
stated above has long been admitted
among irrigation circles in the Valley
no one company has ever taken the
hull by the horns in an effort to elim-
inate this wa.te until recently when
the new owners of the American Rio
(ii unde Land and Irrigation company
worked out u new schedule of rates
to apply in their charges for irrigation
water. In these new rate- is premium
has been placed on the economical use
of water. While the land owner has
the privilege of continuing along the
old lines and paying so much for each
irrigation yet Aie measured water
late imposed by the company is so
much cheaper than the old line rate
that it is thought that all w.ll take ad-
vantage of it. The charge in the meas-
ured water rate is approximately one-
third the charge per irrigation rate
a substantial difference in favor of the
water users. The company pays U>r
the* meters'and the landowner pays for
the installation of the receptacler in
which the meters are placed.
As the proposition of measured wat-
er is in its infancy in the Valley it
has been necessary to proceed along
the lines indicated by the new reform
in a very conservative fashion. For
this reason the American company

pel at i ve coal mining in the Kansas
oal field is responsible for a large part

i rod need in the field.
In spite of the str ke. the Kansas
ield has been producing coal in con-’
iderable quantities from the first
lost of it has been : hipped on railroads
tome of it ba^ been trucked out to
loplin and other points where there
tas been a market for fuel.
There are two classes of cooperative
iiiners. The first comprises men who
•perate small or "dinky" mines and
ire in fuct the real opeartors of the j
nines. The second comprises the men
iho are working at large mines under
nmpany supervision.
The first class is not new in the
Cansas field. The plan is simple. A
mall group of miners sometimes half
dozen and sometimes fifteen or twenty i
organizes and leases a small mine j
he owner of the property is to receive
royalty of twenty-five to fifty-cents
i ton on the coal. The men operate the
nine themselves and divide the profita.
In the other class of cooperative m ti-
ng the operations are on a larger
rale. Officials of the miners’ union
insert the plan is simply a ruse to per-
irt miners to work and still not break
I’ith the union. “Soviet" is the term
ipplied by one of the district officials.
I nder this plan of cooperation the
nen organize to work a mine. The work
s to he done under the supervision of
i company foreman. The nu*n are paid i
0 much a ton for the coal they dig.
'-ailed on the cars. At the Sheridan
nines it is said the men receive $2.50
1 ton. The men pay half of the salary j
f the foreman and the company pays
he other half. The company pays the
nen for the coal that is loaded and the
nen divide the proceeds.

Plan Developed After Conference
Between Hooper and Leaders

• r*v i nr u I rrssr
CHICAGO III. .July 12.—A pro.
(tram for the solution of the rail-
road shopmen’s strike was drawn up
today by Chairman Hooper of the
United States Railroad Labor Board
after conferences with leaders of
the shopmen and was submitted to
representatives of the railway exec-
utives fi.;n four sections of the
country at r< on.
Hoop:»rs pogram said 11 rcpie-
sent the minimum acceptable to the
striking shopmen is to be carried
attain to the shopmen’s leaders lat-
er today with comments and counter
proposals by the executives.
When Chairman Hooper left the
Labor Hoard offices for the meeting
with the railroad executives he was
confident that some plan of settle-
ment could be reached quickly. He
sain ne ex peered to can rrcsnient
Harding on the telephone with a
report of the success of the con-
ference with the railroad presidents.
The conference between Hooper
and the executives is said to be the
direct result of a ten minute tele-
phone conversation late last night
between President Harding and W.
L. McMenimen labor member of
the Railroad I.ab:»i Board. The prom-
ise of the executives to receive the
shopmen’s proposal through Hooper
is understood to have been commun-
icated to McMenimen by President

Ne definite reply to the shopmen’s
proposals was given Hooper by the
representatives of the executives at
