POWELL ON IRRIGATION.

From the Engineering record we
Ia that at the Engineers club in
p ldelphia recently Major Powell
director of the United States Geologi-
c.l survey. gave an interesting talk on
the Engineering Problem of Irrigat-
ing Large Areas" illustrated by mape
showing the annual mean rginful, the
mean annual runoff, and the compare
tive elevation of different sections of
the United States by color sections;
also chart showing diagrammatically
me portion of improved land to the
total area o. the different countries Of
the world.
He SAID in substance as follows: The
question of artificial irrigation has be-
come a very importance one in the agri-
culture OF this country, especially ID
the western part of the United States,
where the infrequent rain and the arid
land make il absolutely necessary for
the production of crops. 1t then be-
comes important for US to consider
what amount of the land not yet occu-
pied can be redeemed 10 TINS way, and
in endeavoring TO ascertain this we
should consider first how much water
it is necessary TO supply to each acre
os land. and second, how much can be
found 10 the streams and other sup
plies for their purpose.
For more than 3 century expert
ments have been conducted by agri-
cuItura'ists, especially abroad. which
show (Kithout going into fgures) that
plants need a great deal IF water, some
of course more than Others. Grass,
for example, draws up and exhales lis
own weight each day. Most of the
vegetables aul fruit require more.
With cereals We should allow &
quantity equal to the weight of the
dried grain. We can see then, that on
an average, plants require for their
proper growth a quantity OF water
equal to their own weight per day.
With such 4 proiucl as BAY, We must,
OF course, remember that only the part
which is used j. taken IN the above
statement, so that to produce 100 tons
of hay we should require about 200
tons of water.
The quantity necessary varies also
with The lau.uds ana tre elevation,
beng mora in the northern than in
tn southern part of the country. and
on ;ow than on high ground. In the
uort0, on high ground, 1t varies from
II to q acre inches per acre Of crop, or
an average # IS inches for each crop.
Throughout the arid regions OF the
vest 100000 acres are now cultivated
by irrigatioa, the neopIe using from q
70 SO inches per acre. This is more than
is absolutely necessary, however, as IN
soma places where the water Is valu
able it has been found possible to re-
duce its duty to 20 inches. In such
cases the best conditions Of course pre-
vailed. Water is piped and carefully
distributed, the land is properly pre-
pared, ard nothing grown upon 1t but
the crop desired. We can therefore
state as the amount of water necessary
for absolute duty Is inches, for
economical duty 20 inches, and for
practical purposes q inches, more
than that beng useless.

NOT HIGHLY MORAL.

The sentimental and moralIZing edi-
tor. Gays the FL Paso Times, who wants
to make a heaven of earth will feel
discouraged to learn the opinion of a
great and good brother. 1t is a fact
that George W. Chllds once cherished
an ambition to own New York news
paper. Asked if he would conduct q
paper there Oh the same lines as the
Ledger in Philadelphia, be said:
"No; publish the Ledger for Phila-
delphia II / owned New York paper
I would endeavor to print what New
Yorkers wanted to read. IL ! Owned
the Heral /, for instance, / would in-
crease its sporting department and pay
particular attention to prize fghts.
Publishing a newspaper is merely 6
matter OF business. The succe =sful
publisher caters to the tastes of bis
constituents. There ought TO be very
little sentiment in the management o.
a daily newspaper.

IT required all the power of the ad-
minIstration to force the cuckoo HR-
waiian resolution, condemning ex-Minis-
ter Stevens and approving the Cleve-
land policy, down the throats of tie
democrats of the house. Directors
were plainly told that unless they voted
for the resolution it would be waste
OF time for them to ask the smallest
favor of the administration, and even
then it took two days to get a quorum
of democrats willing to vote for it on
the aoor Of the house. 1t was finally
passed, but there is not single man
who voted for IT who can honestly say
that be is proud of his vote. The SEN
ate committee has completed its in-

resolution which will be adopted by the
senate after tia report OF the committee
is made will be free OF cuckoolsm.

AREMARKaBLE FAILURE

Daniel B. Judson, Of Gloversville, n.
Y, who failed last week for over a
quarter OF million, has every reason TO
regret the ascerdancy OF the democratic
marty. to which he contr butsd hi, time
and money in 1892. Mr.. Judson was
firm believer in the benefits that would
follow democratic success. Some OF
our readers may remember seeing an
article that told how Mr.. Judson had,
while attending a public meeting prior
to Cleveland's election, declared that
people would not be thrown out OF
york, but would De benefited, and that
if any could not get work after Cleve-
land was elected they should come to
him and he would provide for them all
the work they could desire at big wages.
This statement followed the prediction
by republican speakers that democratic
success and tariff legislation, as propos-
Ell, would close the mills and shops OF
the country as never before. When the
and the mills we're closed. Mr.. Judson
had 4 most disagreeable time of it, as
be was continually reminded OF his
promise. 1t got to be the talk of that
section of the country. and Mr.. Judson's
life was made miserable.
And now he has himself felt the
:
potency and antagonism tot the best ln.e-
terests of American industries. HIS
failure Is for $3.50, 600, and brings hard
ships untold. Ali will sympath ze with
him, but they cannot help rejecting
that it was the eagerness, esrnestnes
and actual fighting Of such men as ht
for Cleveland, that has brought about
present experiences.
