kansas and Irrigation.

Al least one OF the western states has
decided to find out what are the posi-
bilities of irrigation. Kansas has
] passed law creating board of lrriga-
ton survey and experiments. The sum
Of $4,000 per annum is appropriated to
carry on the work. The scope of the
work is shown in Sec. 5, which reads
as follows:
In order that there may be made a
practical test of the water supply on
the uplands of western Kansas for ir-
rigation purposes, said board shall
cause to be constructed twenty irriga-
tion wells and pumping stations or
more II possible under this appropria-
ton, rot more than one Of which shall
be located Il .ae same county, which
shall be constructed and operated
under the direction Of said board in
such manner that correct data Of the

said wells, and said board are hereby
empowered to make a practical test Of
the sO-called underflow water for the
purpose Of utilizing said underfow
water for irrigation purposes, to make
a full and complete examination OF
said underfow as they may be enabled
to do with the means placed at their
command to demonstrate the best
method of raising water to the sur

Turpentine Farms.

The above reference to "turpentine
farms may not be understood at the
north. In south Georgia and Alabama
a few years ago was found one of the
largest pine forests on the continent
1t is now cut up by thousands of what
are known as turpentine farms. A
tract or from 500 to 5000 acres is taken
up by purchase or entry. The first in
Vestments and Improvements are in the
way of stills for the manufacture Of
turpentine, resin, pitch, and other by
products. During winter a squad Of
axmen Is sent out to box the pine trees.
The box Is cut three to four Inches deep,
In cup form, and extends from one
third to half way around the tree. The
gum begins to run into the boxes in
February and is gathered from day to
day as the cups fill. When the first
boxing begins to flow freely the new
wood above is hewn off, giving a new
flow. This is repeated until the cut
surface extends upward from two to
four feet The next season the cup
ping is made on the other side of the
tree. This exhausts the supply and
the third season the logs are cut for
lumber.
That Is the program with the thou
sands of combined turpentlne, resin,
pitch, and lumber plants. But hun
dreds Of turpentine stills are run by
those who tap the trees in a way to
keep up life in the trees for a number
Of years. Over millions Of acres we
see the cutoff lands where only the
worthless trees are left and we rarely
see a pine tree that has not been half
killed or wholly killed by the turpen-
tine men. During the few past years
the main supply Of what is known as
naval supplies" have come from this
great pine forest. Indeed the supply
has exceeded the demand and prices
