sky, he watches the appearance of
 the clouds and asks anxiously:
 "Will this rain hold off for a day
 more?" or. "I am afraid these are
 only wind clouds" as the case may
 be. He must wait for rain in order
 to blow or to plant, or he cannot blow or plant because of rain. The greatest proof of the value of irriga- ton lies in the fact that no farmer who once practiced it, is ever will ing to change to farming under conditions where he is dependent upon natural and unevenIy distri- buted rainfall. The farmer who has his moisture supply under his control, knows what he can do, and goes ahead and does it with almost as much certainly of results as the contractor projects and builds his house. The satisfaction to the farmer of knowing that the labors of a half a season will not be ren- dered void because of week of untimely drouth, is one that can- not be fully appreciated except by those who have tried both systems
 The ordinary farmer is looked upon largely as a man who plods along without responsibility, worry or thought. As a matter of fact, his worries, where he is dependent upon the elements, are constant, and far in excess of those of many business men. Never a season goes by that he does not hope and pray for rain at some time to save some partially matured crop, or fdget and stew about in impatience and fear lest his crop already made shall be ruined before 1t can be harvested l CT cured. The brow of the irrigator is sure to have many less lines and furroWs across 1t than that of the l farmer who does not know the con- trol of water in his agricultural operations.

NOT 4 SPECULATION COMMODITY.

The time has gone by in the West for irrigation water to be used as a commodity for speculation. In the early days the title to water supply or the prospect of getting it was used as a means to enhance values and in many cases to sell land to strangers themselves eager to in vest; but now water is needed to legitimately irrigate land so that it will yield it's products which must be sold in the face of constantly increasing competition. Water, therefore, should be no longer used as a speculative medium. Itshould be made available to the consumer at the actual cost of the construc- tion and operation of the necessary distribution works, and without cost for reservoir storage. It has been generally demonstrated, dur ing the past ten years, that there is but little profit in private storage enterprises, for, while the advantage to the community is great, the owners of the plant do not reap the full benefit. The practicable and fair method and the only one which will be absolutely successful is the building of reservoirs by either the General or State Governments, with the f. ee Ese of the waters stored to the landowners. The proposition is exactly similar to that in which the public has the free use of and benefit from the improvements made by the Government on some harbor, the dredging of some river for navigation, or the esta blishment of some lighthouse or danger signal, ---.--.-..-..--

There must be lots of fun run hing a publication not to speak of the work. A Kentuckian who took charge of journal went to secure good contribution for the same.

The striking and important events of the last year have established the overwhelming value of the THRICE-A- WEEK WORLD to every reader. For an almost nominal sum 1t has kept it's subscribers informed of the pro gress of all our wars and, moreover, has reported them as promptly and fully as if 1t were a daily. With onT interests still extending throughout the world, with our troops operating in the Philippines, and the great pres ident'al campaign, too, at hand, its value is further increased.
 The motto of the THRICE-A-WEEK WORLD is improvement. It strives each year to be better than 1t was the year before, and public confidence in it is shown by the fact that it now circuIates more than twice as many papers every week as any other news paper, not a daily, published in America.

our native birds be protected, since
nearly all of them are especially fond
OF locusts as diet during the summer
months. When our prairie chickens
and other grouse were still numerous
no harm whatever was reported as
coming from native grasshoppers.
Quail, plovers, blackbirds, sparrows,
hawks and even ducks are known to
feed largely upon these insects. A sin
gle bird Of any Of these species will
destroy thousands of them. Where the
birds are destroyed the extra thou
sands Of locusts soon increase beyond
the normal and injury results. Year
after year the gap Is made wider and
the possibility for harm increases.

animals that come under our ban de-
stroy many OF these destructive locusts
and every time we thoughtlessly kill

from such multiplication Of the In
sects, q brief statement may not be
amiss. During normal conditions Of
weather, ETC., the insects Of any region
are kept within bounds by means Of
their natural enemies and no dire re-
suits follow. When these conditions are
disturbed in any way and restraining
influences are withdrawn the more
hardy species increase very rapidly.
Such increase In numbers Of course
means the requirement of an increased
amount Of food, and we see the result
more plainly. Some kinds of locusts
prefer different haunts and food plants

seeming difference in the amount Of
harm done by each.

In 1850 the center of population Of
the United States was at a point al
most due south from Parkersburg, w.
Va. Ten years later it moved over to
the southeastern border Of Ohio, and
for thirty years remained in that State.
In 1870 1t was near Chillicothe. In
1880 1t dropped down almost TO the
center of Cincinnati. Ten years later
1t had crossed into Indiana, and will
probably remain there until Illinois
shall claim 1t In the twentieth century.
1t Is noticeable that this center has al
ways followed closely the thirty ninth
parallel Of latitude. 1t Is further
fact, curious enough, that the majority
of the large cities Of the United States,
as well as Of Northern Europe, are
either on or reasonably close to the
thirty-ninth, parallel. ( 81

TALLY successful In our attempts at de-
stroying grasshoppers by the use OF
fungus diseases. Unlike the chinch
bug fungus the one that attacks locusts
In North America Is comparatively

about half grown. This being true we
must look elsewhere for means OF

"If we carefully watch where eggs
are deposited In rather large numbers
we can destroy these by narrowing or
disking the ground and exposing them
to the drying influence Of the sun or to
the keen eye of birds. Deep blowing

locust eggs so deeply that the young
'hoppers when they hatch are unable
to reach the surface.
by all odds the best method Of de-

lei with the ,eighty-sixth meridian
west Of Greenwich. The population of
each square degree was assumed to he
located at the center of that square de-
gree, except In cases where it was
manifest that this assumption would
be untrue, as: for example, where
part of the square degree was occu-
pied by the sea or other large body of
water, or where 1t contained a city of
considerable magnitude which was To-
Gated away from the center. In these
cases the position Of the center Of the
population of the square degree was es-
timated as nearly as possible.
Railways and immigration have been
the great factors In pushing the center
of population westward. Another mat
ter which affected II was the acquisi-
ton Of Texas and the Gadsden pur-
chase. In calculating the center Of

cent acquisitions are not included.
