by means of artesian wells has had an
other successful experiment this year
OH the farm of Hon. Ii. T. Hunter and
State Treasurer w. w. Taylor. lying
midway in fine stretch of country be-
tween Mellette and Worthwhile, in Sphinx
county.
This year something over 800 acres of
irrigated land were cropped, divided
into l20 acres of oats, 40 Of wheat. about
40 Of barley, so of mIllet. 80 of corn and
II of rye. These fields are not continu-
ouS and compact. but are scattered,
according to the means at hand 10 apply
water. Some fields of wheat are es.
timated by experts to be good for an
average yield of 40 bushels, and the
entire acreage to this cereal will go 25
or 30. The ground cultivated to oats
received no artificial supply of water
this season, being simply we'll flooded
i'll most parts last fall. Nevertheless,
the average Will certainly not fall below
so bushels, and this in the very heart of
a vast extent of country III which the
oat crop appears to be a total failure.
The corn, which was Llanted in season
and etfectuallY watered. makes a fine
stand, and the barley is rated very con-
Servatively at % bushels per acre.
Mil ct IS q good crop, though short in
all other localities.
