Furrow ana Flooding Systems-fn
the Case of Fruit Trees, Etc.
Under the furTow method OF irriga-
ton parallel furrows are plowed lead
ing from the ditch through the field be-
tween the rows of the. crop TO be irri,
gated. A small opening is made In tie
ditch TO let the water into each furrow.,
A dam of canvas or earth is placed in
the ditch Just below the lowest furrow
into which water is bein4run at the
time, thus holding the water nearly
level In that part Of the ditch from
which 1t Is being drawn. Where the
slope of the ground is excessive these
burrows must be run diagonaly or ir-
regularly IN order to reduce their grade
and thus prevent erosion of the soil.
In the case of fruit trees it is gen
orally found desirable during very hot
weather to prevent the water from
coming into actual contact with the
trees because of the danger of scald-
ing. Flooding the surface also results
in some soils in baking and compacting
the earth about the trunks and roots
or the trees. 10 GNOlu lHGSc NOhSt-
uuences the furrow system is employ
ed, one or two burrows being slowed
along each side OF row of trees at
q distance of two or three feet there
from, and ale water is turned from
the ditch into these burrows and per-
mitted to traverse them slowly from
end to end, thoroughly soaking the
ground as 1t progresses and reaching
into the roots without coming in con-
tact with the stems above the surface.
The necessary moisture is thus impart-
ed without the wetting and subsequent
baking of the surface which might re-
suit from flooding. When the trees
are sufficiently irrigated, the water is
turned out OF these burrows and into
others, the process being thus contin-
ued until the whole area has been serv-
ed. The burrows ere then filed in with
a ploX. the whole surface worked over
with a cultivator and no trace left Of
either the burrows or the application
of water.
This method also requires the atten-
ton of an irrigator to see that the
proper amount of water is kept in each
furrow and it does not break out and
flood the surface in places. leaving
the furrow beyond the break without
water. One man can take care Of

EXPERTS OPINION OF NEW ROAD
ays.Wichita VIII Have a First Glass
SfPeef Railway

]. w. O'Neil of Topeka, who is here at
tending the Scottish Rite meeting, in
spected the new system of street railway
yesterday, and is loud in his praises Of
the excellence of the work being done.
His opinion amounts to a great deal, as
he was formerly manager of the old sys-
TEN here and knows something about
street railways. Mr. O'Neil expressed the
opinion that the people here could not
realize what a fine system they are get
ting and would not until it has been COM
pleted and compared with other systems
throughout the country. He says the
cars are excellent cars, better than most
of the cars turned out of the shops for
use in cities of this size, and that the
track being put down is simply excel
lent and will last as long as the fran
chise.
Mr.. O'Neil has not been in Wichita be-
fore for some time and he said he was
surprised at the many improvements that
have been made during his absence. He
is now receiver for the Topeka water
works plant and also the plant at Law

IN THE IRON-AND-STEEL WORLD
Iron Trade Review Reviews Develop
ments of an ImnOrtant Week

Cleveland, o., March 29-The Iron Trade
Review says in part: THE end Of the
Carnegie Steel company litigation, the
formation of the Carnegie company with
sl60 10000 capital and the launching of
the new American Steel Sheet company
make the past week the most noteworthy
of the year thus far The developments
concerning the Carnegie company are re-
ceived with general satisfaction in the
trade, as guaranteeing the continued
strength of the strongest producer, ana
averting division that could only cause
weakness. The market changes IF ;he
week have not been so noteworthy as the
corporate movements. The campaign for
lower prices for iron and steel products
has given rise to some bearish reports,
first published at New York, and T; eely
wired across the country. Intimaticns
that concessions were being made in i'm
portant lines. in which quotations have
been practically unchanged for months
steel blllets. rails and structural material
being mentioned-have been circulated IN
a manner calculated to create weakness.
Without question buyers have been influ-
enced by these reports. March, without
doubt, has been disappointing to those
in the trade who expected it to change
the monotony Of months OF abstentatiOn
from the market. But no general state
ment accurately fits the situation at the
present moment. The s25 basis for bes-
semer steel bnlets in the central west Is
mistaken. Bessemer iron also Is firm,
and the price for the second half, likely
TO be fixed IN the near future. is ex-
pected to be "a at Valley furnaces

PRICE OF BINDING TWlNE
Made by the'State:Pennitent is to
be 1912 Cents a Pound.

Wichita implement men. dealers and
farmers are receiving circulars from the
state penitentiary in regard to the sale
Of Irvine manufactured at the peniten-
tiary 1t is TO be sold at 1912 cents per
pound directly to the farmer or man who
wants to use it. No middIemen viii be
allowed to handle it. The circular says:
Many things interfered so that the
machinery could not be made tested and
accepted until about the middle of Janu-
airy, and the output of the plant for this
years harvest will be limited to about
five months. Since the acceptance Of the
machinery the plant has been in contin-
uOus operation and will furnish about one
million pounds for delivery by June Is
The Irvine is put up in sacks containing
ten balls weighing five pounds each, and
no package will be broken for shipment
The closing OF the Philippine ports for
several months caused an extraordinary
demand for Manila hemp from rope man
ufacturers, and there will be no Manila
Irvine on the market this year. The PEN
itentiary output has been pure sisal but
standard Irvine will be furnished if there
is sufficient demand to justify its manu-
facture.
No agents will be employed, and the
output will be sold directly to the farm
ers in not less than one hundred pound
lots. Under the law, preference will be
given to orders from Kansas farmers and
no Irvine will be sold to other states at
the present time
The statement has been made in some
newspapers that the penitentiary Irvine
would be sold at 10 cents; but this state
ment was unauthorized. The price was
not fixed until the meeting Of the direct
ors on March q, and is 1OIk cents per
pound free on board cars at Lansl-c
Printed applications can be had by ad-
dressing the warden at Lansing. Kansas
and each purchaser will be required to
state in his order the number of acres Of
grain TO be harvested and that the Irvine
Is for his individual use. Cash must ac-
company the order. and remittance NAV
be made By draft. postofflce or express
money order payable to the order Of J B.

Orders twill be filled in rotation as re-
ceived. and no orders will be considered
prior To April 10.

TOPETITITON COUNCIL
Residents Near River Want
Ackerman's Island Closed.
THINK 1T A TOUGH PLACE
Fight in Which Mans Head
Is Stuck in the Sand.
THINK 1T A TOUGH PLACE

There is talk Of petltioning the city
council to close Ackerman's Island as a
resort and to wipe out every place which
usually opens up for summers business
there. The people living on Second
street and other streets close to the river
are getting tired of the midnight orgies
and bacchanalian revelries that take
place on the Second street bridge and
along the banks of the river. Their feel
ing of disgust was renewed by a scene
which took place on the bridge last Sat
urday night, which stirred up the whole
community. The trouble occurred about
midnight and seems to have been be-
tween white and colored people. There
was a hard fight in which one colored
man was thrown over the railing of the
bridge. He lit on his head in the sand
twenty feet below. The fall did not in
lure his head, but he sank so deep in the
wet sand that he came near strangling
to death before he could Cbe eXtricated.
During the fight one colored woman is
said to have been slashed in the breast
with knife. The swearing and bolster
Gus threats that issued from the drunken
crowd is said to have been worthy Of
scene in hades just before breakfast. A
prominent attorney said yesterday that
Ackermans Island should Ibe closed to
business of this kind, or be put under
strict and thorough police regulation. 1t
is likely that the matter of the petition
will be taken up Immediately and be
ready to present to the city council at
its next meeting.

they could not see him any more. The
other runaway was the horse hitched to
the bill-poster's wagon. The horse was
tied near the Missouri Pacific depot, and
the men were working close by. The

then turned south to William and then
