REDUCED RATES TO NEW
YORK,

Attention is called to the fact that rates
to New York via st. Louis and the
Ohio & Missippi Railway are two dollars
less than via other routes running through
cars, while at the same time the high
character and efficiency of our train serv.
ice is fully maintained.
We are therefore able to offer lower
rates, combined with first class through
car service from st. Louis to New York
via Washington, Baltimore and Phila-
delphia; a combination of advantages
possessed by no other line. These re.
ductions apply on both first and second
class tickets sold at all western points via
this line and IFS principal connections to
New York, and holders are entitled to all
the privileges usually accorded on tick.
cts of the class purchased; there being
no extra charge whatever for passage on
limited express trains except for Pullman
car accommodations.
Double daily lines of Pullman Vesti-
bule Sleepers are run by this Company
from st, Louis TO Cincinnati. Louisville,
Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and
New York without change.

wheat for eight successive years. and SO
far as we could ascertain had never been
plowed beyond four inches in depth.
The land was foul with weeds andin very
bad condition, but to demonstrate what
could be done by irrigation from artesian
wells, we at once commenced prepa-a'
tons, had the ground plowed, and ]
might say here it was ploweG on the old
style, four inches deep. The land was
sown to wheat on the 28th ofApril, broad
cast, bushel of Scotch fife per acre. Ii
was the middle of May before we had the
bitches in condition to convey the water
to the land. We had only begun fairly
to irrigate by the 1st of juno. During the
month Of June there was 5.S7 inches OF
rainfall, which made irrigation unneces-
sary, and it was abandoned. About July
2 we recommended irrigation, combining
the experiment to twenty-five acres of the
seventy in the field. From that until
harvest the twenty-five acres received
all of the water that was necessary and
was kept in a good state of irrigation.
The rest of the field received no moisture
except few showers. In the latter part
of July we had three days of hot winds.
During these three days the water was
applied literally to the irrigated land and
the winds had no perceptible effect ON the
wheat, while in the part of the field not
under the ditch the wheat turned almost
white and was blighted. The irrigated
land yielded twenty-three bushels of No.
l wheat an acre: the other land yielded
four bushels of rejected an acre. The
difference in cost of cropping was S115
an acre, From our observation and eX-
periments with this farm we conclude
that had the wheat been sown at the prop
er time and under the proper conditions
the yield with irrigation would have ex-
eeeded forty bushels an acre. BUTT was
sown late with only bushel to the acre.
There was not time for it to stool. We
have demonstrated that artesian water
HAS PROPERTIES THAT ENRICH THE SOIL
and are valuable to the land outside of
the question of moisture. The air in
case of hot winds is SO tempered that for
long distance from a ditch the vapor
modities the atmosphere and saves the
wheat from being blighted. Water ap-
piled freely during the hot winds and sun
has no detrimental effect in the way of
scalding the wheat. From an extensive
study of the question in the countries ir-
rigated under bitches we believe that the
advantage is in favor of artesian wells. as
to the cost of applying and as to the quail
ity OF the water, it being warm instead of
cold, and the quality of the water being
what the plant growth needs. With suf-
ficient wells to demonstrate these facts to
the people the artesian basin must, in
time, become garden of agriculture"
