IRRIGATION.

One Of the topics prominently dis cussed at the annual meeting of the Society of American Engineers at Chat tanooga last week was that of irrigation. This is an all-sbsorbing subject here where water is king, and THE RErUB- LICAN submits extracts from a paper read ny Herbert M. Wilson, believing they will be perused with profit, Ex- perienced engineers were not employed on the early works of Colorado and Cal ifornia, and the cost for repairs has made the financial results dIsappoint- ing. One notable instance of blunder- ing was the Florence Canal, in Mon- tana, fifteen miles long and twenty feet wide, whose bottom has never been wetted since it's construction in 1888. But now a dozen canals are completed, or under construction, with bed widths of fifty feet to seventy feet, with main lines from fifty miles to 100 miles long, with as many more miles of laterals, and having capacities varying from 1000 to l500 second-feet. Such canals will irrigate from 100000 to 15O,OO0 acres each, and will render habitable twice that area, supporting on an average 5000 families each. The only European work comparing with ours in size is the Cavour Canal, in Italy. Indeed, our works are second only 10 those of India, from which they differ in four essential points-ownership and legislation,F en- gineering, construction, and superin- tendence and maintenance. Some of our most troublesome complications arise from questions of ownership. Then, again, mary of our canals, instead of being made through gently sloping or level land, are constructed on steep mountains, excavated from rocky walls
 of cahons, carried through costly tun- nels, or across wide and deep valleys. Instead of governmental works, as in India, and the details carefully elabor- ated with regard to permanence, our main object has been to build cheaply and quickly. For example, the Del NOrte canal, 60 feet wide and 5la feet deep, with 30 miles of mains and as many more of distributaries, with its weir, gates, and other works, was built in no days. Rightly viewed, there is less excuse for faulty work on an irriga- tion system than on a railway; for a far greater amount of property and larger number of lives are imperiled by mistakes. We have no proper system of control for completed canals as they have in India. We have, until recently, paid little attention to the Photographic questions involved; but now they have been taken up by the irrigation branch of the United States Geological Survey and by several of the Western States agricultural colleges. It is not possible, in condensed report, to give the re- suits of varied experiments as detailed by MT. Wilson. His account of the pio- neer canals and their results are inter- esting. Then the canal systems of the various Western States were described. By far the most magnificent canal in our country is that of the Turlock district, so outlined that all it's 176,OOO acres can be watered from the same sonrce.

L>OR SOME TIME A GREAT WANT HAS E been felt by the orange grower of Southern California for fertilizer adapted to this fruit. We have been successful in finding just the food, and now offer to the orange grower our "Orsnge Tree Fertilizer" It Is an article thoroughly adapted to this tree, consisting of bone, potash, phosphoric acid, ammonia and other ingredients, and is complete manure for growing trees, from time of setting out to full maturity. Gophers will not work where this fertilizer Is used, on account of their distsste for the phosphoric acid, which is very helpful to the tree-either orange or lemon. In the growing of other citrus or deciduous fruits in California the use of fsuperphOsphates. according to Prof. Hilgard. will be found much better adapted to the purpose than either barnyard or stable manure, in that they contain the neces. sary constituents of which the soil has been de. prived by its long continuance m the cultiva. ton of such crops. In setting out trees, one pound per tree should be used, thoroughly mixed with the soil before irrigating. The quantity used on old trees at cording to the age of the tree-tree 5 years otd, pounds; 10 years old 10 pounds. If the trees are 20 feet apart or more, and the soil be very poor, greater quan- tity may be used to good advantage. The fer tllizer may be applied at any time before a rain or irrigating Price, $36 per ton.

TIE statement by an evening paper that the fight made against Walter &. Maxwell for chief of the department of horticulture of the Worlds Fair by the Los Angeles Times, is matter of per. sonal animosily, is incorrect and per version of the facts. large majority of the Boards of Trade of Southern Califor- mia have condemned the selection of Maxwell and endorsed Hon. J. DeBarth Shorb, a man of national reputation on horticultural matters. As to the state ment that it is Maxwell or no man from California does not alter the situation.

Water Power Company were described, as were also the Sweetwater, Merced, Cuyamaca and Castlewood reservoirs, in which water is stored to supplement the flow of intermittent streams. An inter- esting problem, as yet but partly solved, is that of securing correct and uniform standard for measuring water sold for irrigation. The meter used in cities cannot be applied to open ditches, as it would soon be clogged.
