the large varieties by the new
method. Sweet potatoes did not do
well, possibly l did not know how to
grow them. Celery does well and the
quality is excellent and in every re-
spect will compare with the Michigan
product. Cabbage is a good crop, as
are the beets and other vegetables.

year. My. reservoir was stocked with
fish and now affords me much better
article than the market supplies: an

thousand pounds and still leave it as
well stocked for the following year.
The reservoir will afford me 100 tons
of ice this winter, furnishing an
abundance for my own use and some
to sell to my neighbors.

year, having profted by my expert
ence, this year | shall plant my crops
SO as to secure the most economic
use of my water supply. Thoroughly
saturating the ground during the
winter months, / shall have it in con-
dition to plant five acres to early pO-
/ tatOeS for the western markets, and
and an acre of sugar beets for my hogs.
| These will require no water after
| June. Another acre of onions, one
| for celery and garden truck, two more
for lawn and small fruits, making in
all four acres requiring water the en-
tire season, al amount my plant will
readily supply. The same water that
irrigates my land, passing down in
bitches by my trees in the orchard
supply their roots without materially
decreasing the flow. Along the out
side my orchard l shall plant my al
falfa seed to keep down the weeds and
supply blossoms for a few stands of
bees. Outside of my irrigated tract
L shall gamble a little with nature
and SOW 125 acres of small grain. If
it makes a crop | am that much
ahead. x
Now taking into consideration the
fact that millions of acres of land in
western Kansas can be found where
an abundant water supply can be
reached at less than fifty feet; that
half the amount required to erect a
plant at $50 feet will purchase one
that will lift more than twice the
amount Of water at fifty feet: that

can be found where the water lift is
] less than twenty feet, [ will submit
