have been at considerable pans and eX-
penSe TO get accurate figures and facts re-
gardng the possibility Of irrigation iu
Southwest Texas. They show more re
marhable possibilities Of prOduCtivcncsS
and wealth, as regards fruits, vegetables.
grains, etc, than California. This viii be
astonishing only because ii is new. People
have not had the facts set before them, and
they are therefore astoni5ned almost into
iucredu!ty at what actually exists in this
wonderful section of the United States.
II takes an average of nearly twenty Weight
inches OF rainfall per year, distributed at
seasonable intervals, to make crop in an
agricultural country. | will put the rain
fall at thirty inches and make sure OF an
abundance Of moisture. Thirty iu;'hCS os
rainfall is S4,6!S gallons per acre. Now, if
this S4,62S gallons can be turned on the land
just when needed most, and vice rsa,
there could DC no failure. If sufficient
supply of water is available, this can read
lily be done. In all Southwest Texas there
is an iaeXhaustible supply of water under
ground. No well has yet been bored that
has failed TO spout up from 800, 600 to 3.150,-
coo gallons Il day. l will take the medium
wells-500, 900 Z day. This will give 49,
Oughly lrrigdte 2l4i acres OF land. But
since this water could be turned on and of
at viii, giving the ground just what was
needed and no more, at the right time it
would 40 away with the surplus, usually
amounting TO one-third, and would thus
easily irrigate at least $500 acres of ground
The cost of this style of irrigation is a
marvel for cheapness. The irrigation ditch
companies usually charge - per acre year
for water. This is every year. A well can
be bored anywhere in this section for 81 80
per foot for six inch well everything fur
niSned. As 1909 feet is the deepest you have
to go to get from seven hundred thousand to
two million gallons day in Il siX-inch well.
the cost would not be over 5000 Since the
ditch irrigation " ould cost 81 an acre every
year, the vel! would be $3.50 less on 2SO0
acres the first year, and nothing after that.
| make no comparison OF cost of c0nduitS
for distributing the water on your land, as
the thing would be the same in either SyS-
tenn But in the matter of elevation, the
well system is superior to any other method,
since these wells all have force sufficient 10
carry water up fifty feet or more. \ com
mon well with u windmill pumping only

lime. There IS no chemical action in either
case-the water is simply driven ont b.

article hardens afterwards, when mixed

fort at restoration to the original condition

cause of unusually pure gypsum existing

MORE ON PEANUT CULTURE

Your article on peanut culture ought to
be worth its weight in gold,'' as we say.
to the people of Texas. | am an old Viz
ginia peanut raiser and, therefore, can
vouch for the correctness of your article in
every particular.
Like all other crops. good seed is neces-
sary to successful peanut culture. The
man who plants poor seed invariably makes
mistake The white Virginia is very
popular variety, always commanding good
prices on any market. 1t takes about thirty
pounds of white Virginia to plant one acre
The Carolina red is larger peanut than
the white Virginia. It takes better on some
markets on account of its larger size and
viii bear planting close together. ] cannot
explain why this last is the case, but it is
an accepted fact. The vines do not spread
quite so much as do those of the white Viz
ginia. 1t takes about fifty pounds of the
Carolina red to plant an acre. But the
white Virginia beats it in yield every time
and is, therefore, the nut that | would
recommend for Texas. 1t is nut of uni
versal popularity, while the Carolina red Is
popular only on certain markets.
Peanuts do best on a rich loan inclined to
sandy, as you state. a situation COM
paratively dry is best for them. They will
do well enough on land reasonably moist,
but on moist land the nuts ripen TO more
or less of a straw color. which is never
popular shade on the market.
4 hard and baking soil should never be
devoted to the peanut crop, as such soil
would be against the yield, to say nothing
of the fact that the nuts are apt TO be
crooked and mis-shaped. \ crooked and
ill-shapen nut is never popular.
Peanuts should be cultivated about the
same as corn, not allowing weeds or grass
to grow in the field. and keeping the sur
face of the land loose and mellow, especially
when the spikes are forming. So soon as
the flower stems start out there should be
no further cultivation. Cultivation after
this causes the nuts to blight or not fill out.
As you state, the blossoms must never be
covered up. To think that peanut blossoms
must be covered up is to think entirely
enormously. Leave them alone when they
are ready for fruItiug-the very least dis
turbance they can have, after that time. the
better it is for the crop.
Peanuts should be harvested so soon as
most Of the nuts are ripe. To leave them
very late in the hope that the last nuts set
will I'LL out and ripen is a mistake, as by
this course you lose more than you gain.
When the earliest nuts are overripe the
stem connecting them with the main vine
dries up and loses strength TO hold the nuts
in handling, so you lose the early nuts if
you wait too long; besides, those very late
nuts ara invariably too small to be of much
account
Your plan Of harvesting the nuts is cor
rect Is practiced IN VirgiaaA The vines

THATDEw POINT ONCE MORE.

Please accept my thanks for Your clear
and evidently correct answers to ny ques-
tons sent you last week but there is still
one matter not entirely clear TO my mind.
You have settled the question rs to whas 4
dew point IS by your quotations from Pro
fessor T. NJ Pendleton, VI. D., but since all
this talk has been about "the dew point, -
please state through THE GAZETTE what de-
gree Of ear-h temperature below that of the
air can be regarded as the dew point" |
think this ought TO settle the matter under
agitation. G.
Fort Worth, Texas
This springs an entirely new question, but
we are willing TO go in with our folks on
anything bounded by the pales of reason, so
here goes:
The original question put to Us was as to
a high dew-point or low point averag-
ing in Northern Texas. We gave it as our
opinion, based upon the teachings of mod
ern science, that the dew-point was high.
compared to that of regions along the sea
coast. Having no direct authority to what
we could refer, We gave our reasons for the
faith that was in US, and while others may
not be satisfied with those reasons we must
be permitted to state that for ourseIf We
are entirely satisfied
We have no acknowledged authorities to
quote in answer to this rev question OF
yours, and so far as we know there are
none, so we must reason again IN the teach
ings OF modern science
Dew IS moisture condensed from the at
nosphere b. an earth surface colder than
tina. maintained by the said atmosphere.
