Utilizing Windmills.

In parts of Kansas and Nebraska
the farmers are utilizing their wind
mills to irrigate small patches Of
ground near their homes for garden
purposes. In some cases indeed these
patches include not less than ten or
twelve acres of ground. There are
numerous windmills scattered through
the middle west that should be more
fully utilized than at present. At some
of our experiment stations irrigation
has been tried on Strawberries and
vegetables with very good effect. Even
a quarter of acre brought under irri-
cation should give good results. This
will be found to be easily accomplish
ed where the soil is sufficiently clayey
to puddle we'll. The cost should be
small. as the water used is surplus
water that would otherwise remain
unused. In the states near the Great
Lakes the effort should prove effective
tor the reason that the rainfall Is usu-
ally quite good and the supply of mois-
ture In the ground practically inex-
haustible. The soil water is within a
few feet Of the surface, while in the
regions west of the Missouri the soil
water is frequently Is or more feet
below the surface, and the problem It
lifting becomes great.
