INTEREST IN IRRIGATION.
People Of Bee County Are Solving the
Problem

People Of Bee County Are Solving tho
Problem.
Beeyilc, Texas, August 2o.--lrrigauon is
n question that Is interesting the people OF
this section to n great extcnt just now.
The fact that the Yield on an acre of land
is increased many fold by irrigation has
been thoroughly and unquestlonaby DEM
Onstratcd here for several years, and that
this increase Is many times the cost OF irri-
CATION has caused those who heretofore re-
Enrdcd irrigation as too expensive 10 be
tackled to reconsider the matter ana give
1t a trial In consequence a number II
new irrigation plants are being put in
throughout this section this fall and rain
or no rain a good vegetable crop is as
6ured for ncYt spring. Irrigation has dem.
onstrated thut land which yields on an
average Of SO an acre under comparatively
favorable circumstances without Irrigation,
with irrigation Yields from 500 to 500
an acre Tho cost OF irrigation IS hardly
what the Weld per acre Is without irrga-
tlou, SD that tho increased revenue is TO q
very great extent proht. An acre OF irri-
gAtrd cabbage viii bring $500, nu mere OF
irrigated Strawberries will bring from 500
10 $1,000 an acre of Irrigated onions Will
bring from 5000 to 500 an mere OF irrl-
gated small vegetables, such as radishes,
lettuce brcts, carrots. etc, will average IN
result would he With irrigated watermelons
ana cnntaloupes can hardly be npproSl-
mated as thc crops are often iniuiNd
more by insects than lack of rain, but
Il Is certain the Yield would on an average
he much more than without irrigation.
irrigation will be entirely depended on by
the truck farmers Of this part Of the state.
and that where carloads of stuff are now
shipped trainloads will he shipped.

made the damage or per cent greater
than fhe newspapers had claimed.
This cross fire from the agricultural de
partmcnt Of the government did great
violence to the corn market, doing much
more harm than good.
Reliable reports from the government
woud be very valuable, hut a few rcpc-
tilnns as described above viii subject the
government reports to ridiculc.
II rs claimed that G3 per cent of those
who report ON conditions of crops are bank
crs. These reports are made Voluntarily .
tt must also be noted that all farmers
ere personally interested I'm high prices
for grain and If they are similar TO otner
murtals II is only natural for them to over
rate the damage done to. crops.
The sensible thing to do IN order 10 make
these reports valuable and rellahi" Is to
carefully select The reporters and pay them
for their work.
with this Improvement in the plan Of oh
tanning crop conditions the reports would
be of great interest. especially II the few
great SPECTATORS could be prevented from
obtaining the information in advance OF its
publication.
I am stil working on the weather prob.
lem and have recently found another great
secret of nature. My greatest failures here
TOtOrc have been on the monthly average
of temperature and rainfall.
] had about perfected the work as 90 the
time Of all the weather changes hut the
total amounts Of rainfall and temperature
for cnch calendar month had long been a
puzzle and ] had about lost hope Of ap.
proXmating the correct figures more than
two times out Of three.
But / found II ut last and now nm fully

records vastly more valuable than / had
heretofore considered them.

Never has there been such n demand for
this class of lumber and the planning mills
are beipg crowded TO their utmost capac'

mand. Orders for yard stock are coming In
freely. but the cream of this trade, OF
