BENEFIT TO THE souTH.

What benefits such change in
the channel OF the great river would
confer upon tie Southern States
cannot be estimated. The Geolo-
gical Survey estimates that for
every acre reclaimed to agriculture
another acre will be reclaimed in
Louisiana. The delay in the Sum
dry appropriation bill has material
ly interfcred with Director Powell's
plans respecting surveys for estab-
lishment of reserves on the public
domain.
Ii the appropriation had been
made in time, surveying parties
would have been sent to the head
waters of the Owens, Carson and
Walker rivers in the Sierra Nevada
mountains CT California, debouch-
ing into the arid lands of Nevada.
From these, surveys would have
been made on the headwaters of
the Platte and Arkansas rivers. 1t
is probable now that the surveys
will be begun ON the streams in
California and Arizona.

eminent Intends to Develop.
| WASHINGTON, September 27th.-
The sundry civil appropriation bill
which passed Congress today and
only awaits the signature Of the
President to become alaw, contains
one item which IS perhaps Of more
importance to California than any
measure which has ever been pre-
scented in Congress. The item is
simply an appropriation of 500, 900
to defray tie expense of locating
and surveying suitable sites for the
location of storage reservoirs at the
headwaters of streams West Of one
hundredth meridian, which waters
can be used for the purpose OF lrri-
cation. The appropriation itself is
not large, but it commits the Gov
ernment to a policy that, if carried
! out to . conclusion vii. lead TO an
expenditure OF hundreds OF millions
of dollars. The expenditures of
tue appropriation for preliminary
surveys will be made by Director
Powell, OF the Geological Survey,
and 500, 900 is merely a drop IN
the bucket, SO far as the total cost
OF the surveying required is con-
cerned.
THE VAST ARID REGION.
Some idea of benefits to be con-
fered upon the agricultural domain
of the nation by the establishment
OF reservoirs for irrigating purposes,
can be obtained from an estimate
sent to Congress last Summer by
Director Powell. He says that the
region in which agriculture depends
upon irrigation includes about four
tenths Of the United States, not in
Guiding Alaska.
The estimated area of the arid
region is about 1900 900 square
miles. OF this about one-fiith is
too rugged or too elevated to admit
OF cultivation. There remains
about 1000 GOO square miles which
need only water TO be productive.
At the minimum price OF 81 % per
acre, this land has a valuation of |
$500, 900. At $50 per acre--a |
moderate estimate OF It's value when
irrisated-it would be worth ST. |
zoe, 000, 0G0.
La 1880 less than one per cent.
Of the arabic portion of the West .
had been supplied with irrigation
works, and Director Powell does !
not believe that with the most eIa-
borate WORK this can be increased
to more than twenty per cent.
Major Powell says, ON the other
hand, that an estimate, based on
available data, leads to the antlci-
patton that when all the larger
streams have been brought under
control, and the storage OF water
has been carried as far as it may be,
economically. there will be redeem
ed about fifteen per cent. of the
arid region, or about $50 900 square
miles, the whole comprehending an
area one-half OF that now cultivated
in the United States.

A city hall official who has owned a

had the owner come out and look at

WOMEN AND MARRIAGE.

Old Ideas That Can No Longer He Con.
sidered Popular.
In almost all the recent attempts to
explain the unpopularity of marriage
it seems to have been taken for granted
that women's feelings with regard to
it are uniform. It is certainly not
true, however. that all women are
waiting with ''batcd breath and whis-
ering humbleness" for an advanta-
geous offer of marriage. The feelings
of women are changing, and the old
ideas as to women and their social
functions can no longer be taken for
granted. Woman is now a worker
and thinker and marriage for edu-
Gated women is only one of many pos
sible occupations; and educated wom-
en- may be excused if they regard it

THE cAeeAcEl WORM.

How to Fight This Most Destructive
Enemy OF the Vegetable Garden.
My observation and experience teacfa
me that the coming crops of cabbage,
cali1ower and other members of the
brassIca family will have to be raised
by the professional gardener. who alone.
will be able to conquer the many in
scots that lie in wait for those crops.
From the time the seed is sown the
fiea-beetle, club-root cabbage worm.
ETC.. are on hand to thwart our efforts.
The greatest enemy with us is the cab
bage worm (Pieris rape). but occa-
sionally we are attacked by the others
also. So destructive are these enemies.
and 80 few and uncertain are the
means OF prevention or getting rid of
them. that very few besides the practi-
cal gardener will attempt the raising
Of late cabbage and the like. True we
did. under discouraging circumstances,
find an effectual remedy for our in
digenous Colorado potato beetle, in ap-
plying Paris green; but 80 far no such
remedy is yet discovered to thwart our
late imported enemy. the cabbage.
worm.
have succeeded. so far. very we'll
with equal parts of buhach and ground
tobacco stems. Others use lime and
tobacco busted on. Some again, apply
water heated to one hundred and sixty
degrees and 50 on. Any one Of these
remedies is hard to apply, and uncer-
tain in the application. Frequently.
too. SO rapid are these destructive in.
scots that your crop is practically gone
before you suspect your enemy. And
30 thorough and persistent must be-
your applications that even an effectual
remedy in the hands Of practical gar
dener would completely fail when ap--
piled BY those not skilled in the use of
it. Ny opinion Is that the gardener
will have to raise our cabbage and
caulihowers n our practical fruit grow
