II. 1. Taylor Installs a I"erfect System of Irrigation on a Small Scale. H. J. Taylor is building two cement lined reservoirs on his farm, two miles east of Fulton. Each will be nine feet deep and 12 feet square, and they will be fed by windmills. In the event of the windmills not prov ing of sufficient capacity, he will sub stitute a gasoline engine later. .These reservoirs will distribute water through 2800 feet of one and one-fourth Inch piping, and the water will be used to Irrigate, at first a lawn and garden, and later as much othe. ground as the capacity of the wells will allow. The reservoirs will be covered with one building, which Mr. Taylor holds to be the most economical method of keeping out dust, as It will also afford a shelter for many other things besides the reservoirs, whereas the usual rounded top for a reservoir costs considerable and cannot be util ized for anything lese. Mr, Taylor last spring sowed li acres to dry land alfalfa, and the re suits were very encouraging. He clipped it once to secure uniformity and afterward cut for hay an unusu ally large amount for the first year. The stand was very heavy for the first year and the entire growth is thrifty. Mr. Taylor will next Monday finish sowing 280 acres of winter wheat. The soil ln that neighborhood Is in fine condition for wheat sowing. all the advantages of Ir rigation, too." The result is that he has located land In a district suppos ed to not need irrigation. He Is en thusiastic about the claims of the Ma dras district and mentions that land for the first time broken a year ago, this year yielded for the first crop from 15 to 30 bushels of wheat per acre.

Mr. Hopper is a resident of Athena, and being contiguous to the finest and most prosperous Irrigated dis tricts ln the United States, ought to know all about the advantages of Ir rigation; what Is more, he declares that he does, and that he "also knows Too Dry to Plant Wheat With Assur ances of ProM'r Fall Growth. There Is some complaint from the Stage Gulch country that there has not been sufficient rain to put the ground in first-class condition for sowing wheat. However, many will begin their seeding next Monday, and take all the chances there may be of sprouting and Insufficient growth to Insure it for the winter. Most of the hauling of this year's crop to the warehouses has been ac complished, while the roads are so badly cut up that It Is extremely dif ficult to get loaded wagons over them at this time, which makes hauling slow, and it will be a month before It is finished.
