This matter has now been engaging

How to IPrlgate.

Prof. Emery writes: Much depends
on the season at which water should
be applied to crops. On lands In
which clay predominates the water
should not be used until the grain 10
far enough advanced to shade the
ground, otherwise the surface soil will
bake, to the great detriment Of the
crops. Msnifestly where water Is used
on crops it Is desirable to get the seed
into the ground early so az to hasten
the period of development Of the grain,
when water can be used without
detriment. One skilled In the use of
water, with head of 100 miner inches
can irrigate, on favorable ground,
from five to six acres per day. Two
irrigatlons should mature any ordinary
crop, with the normal amount of

Great Value in SubsOlllng.

Subsoiling is not turning Of the un-
der soil TO the surface-this would be
only deep blowing but 1t is simply
loosening of the subsoil and allowing it
to fall back without bringing it to the
surface at all. This operation permits
the under soil to receive a greater amount
of moisture and to retain it, because, be-
ing loose and loamy from the operation
of subsOiling, it becomes more like the
sandy soil in many respects-more re-
tentive of moisture. The benefit, says
the PlOlOmGN, Of subsoiling in sandy
soil is that the water is more readily re-
moved from the top soil, while it 10 at
the same time retained for the future
use of the crop. The advantage Of sub
soiling heavy soil, on the other hand,
Is that the water instead Of being re-
moved by surface drainage or eYspora-
ton is allowed to sink into the soil whore
it is retained, and when the closer top
soil would otherwise become hard and
unfit for the growth Of the crop, espe-
cially if the rains be followed by long
drouth, there is large amount OF water
stored away in the subsoil to be drawn
upon as needed by the growing vegets-
ton. Subsoiling effectually does away
with the hard packing of the bottom Of
the furrow as left by the ordinary pillow,
and if all blowing were followed by sub
soiling the erosion of the top soil on roll
ing lands, which Prof. Shaler estimates
at 80 square miles each year, would be
reduced to minimum, if not entirely
stopped.
Two hundred and fifty square miles,
10000 acres, of good soil rendered bar
rem each year from this one cause At
$50 an acre-s low estimate for good
farm lands in the more settled parts Of
the country-this means money loss Of
100000 per Rnnum to the farmers Of
the United States.
But the expense of subsoiling! Yes it
is an expense, and yet when we consider
in addition to the saving to future fertil-
ity Of this enormous acreage now rem
dered barren by erosion, the vastly
increased crops and improved quality Of

and then to use so that the best results
and profits will follow. l am here to
tell you, also, that if you will only per-
severe, your skill, your work, your pa
thence, will have their ample reward.
When l look back over the past
twenty years, and see the increase of
our population and consequent compe-
tition for all prizes, either in labor or
business, l want to say to you, my
farmer friends, that your children,
twenty years from now, will thank
their parents more for their holdings
of land than we do our parents, for all
history shows that as the population
Of q country increases, wages and In
terest 90 down but value Of land goes
up. So beware how you part with or
neglect that kind of property that has
In all times been, if not always the
most remunerstiVe, certainly the most
secure. 1t is better than bonds and
mortgages, because you hold your own
security. The improvements you put on
the land are yours, also, and the best
improvement that you can make is to
get it ready to irrigRte.
Begin in a small way, and as you
learn to do your work properly, you
will continue the work. Even If you
succeed in getting an adequate supply
for only three, five or ten acres, there
will be many years when that acreage
will be your msinstsy and will count
for more than the balance of your
eighty or 100 acres.
Now, am not saying to you, "All
that is necessary is the water supply"
or that you can learn how to use the
water in the best and most profitable
way all at once, or even in the first
year. Experience will help you most
in using water as in every other occu-
patton.
Our lands in western Kansas are
cheap, and therefore the world has
little respect for them. The irrigable
lands of all Kansas will, in the near
future, be far more valuable than the
best non -irrigsble lands of Illinois or
Iowa. The manufacturers can now
give US machinery that enables us to
irrigate our lands at a cost less than
what our Illinois friends have thought
a good investment In tile draining

of irrigation as compared with drain
ing Except In case of swamp lsnds),
the advantage is greatly in favor Of the
