small Irr,ra,,o, Plant.

From the 1900 report OF the New
Jersey Experiment Station we take
the following:
The irrigation practiced in the East
has thus far been on a small scale.
Plants capable of irrigating 6 to s
acres are the rule. They have, how
ever, clearly demonstrated two points
first, an irrigation plant is desir-
able adjunct to farm; and second,
that 1t pays. In most cases the water
mas been applied by pumping, either
from stream or from wells. The
cost OF these small plants Is relatively
large per acre, yet in all cases they
have proved profitable, because the
water has been used for such crops as
are liable to suffer seriously In case
OF short drouths. or the eight small
plants of which full data have been
obtained, the initial cost per acre for
them ranges from s25 to 500, and,
with the exception of one case, the
water is applied by pumping; in four
cases 1t is obtained from streams. and
In the others from wells, and the re-
turns thus far have in all cases paid
large rate Of interest on the invest
ment.
The question of small plants and
their erection and equipment has been
Wen worked out, and one capable OF
furnishing water for from to s acres
can be erected and equipped for from
s4oo to $500, depending on the location
OF the land in reference to situation Of
the water-that is. whether the point
10 which the water is to be raised be
nigh or low. This does seem relative
iy high initial cost as compared with
that OF canals and bitches or even Of
storage. but as used In intensive prac-
tice and for crops of high CONNER
cial value these plants do return a
large profit on the investment. The
Information thus far gathered indicates
that irrigation is desirable in the
humid districts. and that small plants.
while relatively expensive, are prac-
ticable and result in greatly reducing
the effects Of deficiency in rainfall.

The report of superintendent Day,
which was read, was published in Sun
days News and Observer.
The report of the executive board was
as follows:
REPORT OF EXECUTIVE BOARD.

Prison: a3H
The Executive Board respectfully re-
ports that, they have assisted in the
preparation of the report of the superin-
tendent, and had him include in it, such
figures and statements. as they would de-
sire to submit to the board. detailed
report by the committee would neces-
ssrily be a repetition of the matter con-
4,sr, c,;r,
dorse and adopt the superintendent re-
port.
We congratulate the board upon the
excellent outcome CT the past two years
management of the institution.
We arc ready to turn over the States
Prison to whatever management may sue
coed us, in such condition that it will
not need any appropriation from the next
Legislature. We can turn over to them
S1O1. 66S.C0 in available cash assets, to-
gether with probably an ampler supply of
provisions for the ensuing year, and bet
ter equipped in every department, than it
has been in its history.
We have on hand, sufficient cloth ard
clothing to furnish the convicts for half
a year, about 5000 pounds of pork O.
500 bushels of potatoes and other provis-
ions. The farms are equipped with first
class teams. good implements, and have
$1,000 bushels of corn and 400 900 pounds
of hay, sufficient to supply them during
this year.
In addition to the above mentioned sup
plies and cash assets to be used in the
operation of the institution another year,
we have made contracts to furnish labor,
which will yield about $4,000 in cash per
month.
The convicts have been amply clothed
and plentifully fed. and in every respect
most kindly treated.
We believe the institution is in such
condition, that with proper management
in the future, it will never cost the State
another cent.
Respectfully submitted,

PROTECTING THE WATER SUPPLY.
Smallpox Has Reappeared. Vaccination Should
be Made More General

The latest Bulletin of the Board Of
Health reviews the work of the exami-
nation of the water supplies of the va
rious towns and cities of the State, and
the efforts made to protect water sup
plies. A paper on Biological Examina-

Carthy. is valuable and instructive

in with the cold weather. The disease
was present in nine counties in Novem-
ber and it has appeared in three more
| counties. Granville 6, Vance i, and

were sent in. And it also looks as if
our prediction that as the epidemic
progressed the disease would become
more sever in character, is finally go
ing to be fulfilled. DR.. Boothe, Of
Granville, says all cases severe except
one and DR.. MallOy, of Caswell, / no.
tice the form of the disease is much
worse now than last spring. Nearly
half are of the continent variety We
fear we do rot regret this as much as
we perhaps should, because we hope it
may be the means OF impressing upon
the people the Importance of vaccina-
ton. for it becomes more and more
manifest that the only thing which
stops the disease finally is the vaccina-
ton of all the people,"

4 WHITE PRIMARY
Will Settle the Dispensary
Question in Cumberland.
Senator McNe and Representatives Hall and
Mcclellan Agree to Way to S9.te
the Heated Controversy.

Senator Mcneil and Captain Mac
Kethan arrived yesterday and are reg
istered at the Marlborough, Mr.. f. r..
Hall, the other member from Cumber-
land being already in the city.
They are being congratulated by
| many on the happy solution of the
much discussed Dispensary Question in
their county, it being understood that
| they have agreed to leave the matter
to primary of the white voters in the
county. One of the members, Captain
| MacKethan, has been interviewed in
regard to the situation. He is for the
dispensary, while Captain Mcneil, of
the Senate, is against it, and while Mr..
Hail has not expressed himself. He
states that the diSpensary will carry, in
his opinion, by good vote, as the peo-
pie have found from experience that
it is the best thing in every way for
both Cumberland county and the city
of Fayetteville. 1t has lessened crime,
increased morality, and added material
ly to the length of the school term,
having brought into the school fund a
sum far in excess of anything that
could have been hoped for from the
old license bar-room system.
Asked as to how the primary would
be held, he stated that as for the bar
room side he was not advised, but that
the dispensary side had been left in
good experienced hands, who would see
that their side was fully looked after
that he had left the matter of detail
work on the selection of the Dispensary
Committee to Col. w S. Cook and Maj.
A. A. MacKcthan, both strong dispen
sary men, and known throughout the
State for their political strength and
integrity. That with such d strong

Captain w. H. Day. Superintendent. and
Hon. E. l.. Travis, Chairman Executive
Board, States Prison.
Gentlemen: l append herewith a gen
eral statement. covering the receipts ard
expenditures of this institution for the
year 1899 and 1900, which explains Itself.
Both sides of this balance sheet show
gains over previous years; our earnings
have been greater, although we have
$50 to SEQ convicts less than were here
in 1926. 1896, 1897 and 1898 Our cost
Of maintenance per capita has been great
or fer several reasons. 1t is we'll known
that the cost of almost everything pur-
chasabIe is greater than it was in former
years; besides while we have not been
extravagant, the prisoners have been
abundantly and we'll fed and well clothed !;
feed we'll, clothe we'll and work WELL
has been my motto, and the motto of this
administration.
X has been gratifying to me, as | know
it has to you gentlemen to have been
able to put the institution in such physi-
cal condition, as to elicit favorable COM
ment from the Board of Health and Char
ity, from almost every visitor that comes
to the institution and from people gen
orally who are at all informed, as to the
facts.
As TO the financial condition of the in
stitution, the superintendent report
gives the figures, and such figures as
show beyond cavil, its healthy financial
condition.

the attention of you gentlemen to one
serious problem that confronts the future
management of the institution. Our gen
