THE NEWER IRRIGATION,
Experience In California Has Led to
the Introduction of Bctter
Methods of Watering.

1t appears that recently the small
'nrrow method of irrigating is under
roing certain notifications. The oc-
rasion for the change is that in GER
tain of the heavier soils particularly
the use of water in many shallow
burrows followed by cultivation re-
suits in the formation of Il compact
layer and this prevents the percola-
ton of water into the subsoil. This
discovery led many southern Califor-
MIA fruit growers to resort to fewer
and deeper burrows and to new de-
vices to enable the tree to get the
benefit of the water.
There has been wide use OF the
subsoil plow, with wedgeshaped
loot attached to slim standard ris-
Ing 10 the ordinary beam. The
standard opposes its thin edge to the
soil so as to cleaye it with the least

The insuring of ones life is one of
those ings which one is most apt to
put OH There are few, however, who
postpone what ought to be the inev-
liable until so late period in life as
did the tough old smack owner of
Grimsby. When he presented himself
ut the insurance Office he was nat
urally asked his age. His reply was:
'Ninety-four." ""Why, my good man, we
cannot insure you,' said the company.
''Why not?" he demanded. "Why, you
are ninety-four years of age" "What
of that?" the old man cried. "Look at
statistics, and they will tell you that
fewer men die at 94 than at any other
Age"

brought shallow roofing trees into
temporary distress.
The general conclusion, however, is
that deepr introduction of water
favors deeper roofing, and is very
economical of water by preventing
the loss by evaporation from the sur
face, which, theoretically, is dry, but
which, actually, with shallow burrows
over an irrigation hardpan, becomes
too often saturated over nearly the
whole space between the trees.
The use of cement in the construc-
tion of fumes has largely increased
in the practice of fruit growers in
the older irrigated regions of the Pa
cific coast, because by means of local
ly devised machinery the cement
fiume has been cheapened 10 that its
first cost is less than that of the
lumber fume when suitably durable
timber is high.
Similar machinery is used for the
construction of continuous cement
pipe, which is replacing open laterals
in carrying water from main bitches
to the land Of individual irrigators.
Not only is such flume sometimes
cheaper than board fumes, but the
annoyance Of leakage and the cost Of
extensive repairs are done away with.

difficulty, and the foot passing
through or beneath the hardpan lifts
and breaks it. The result of the sub
;oiling is to open Il way for the wa
ter to sink and spread below the
hardpan. 1t is usual to run the plow
once through the center of the inter
"pace between the rows of trees,
sometimes at right angles TO the ir-
rigation burrows. When this is done,
the water is admitted to the burrows
as usual but instead of flowing along
smoothly it drops into the track of
The subsoiler and runs there n long
time before rising again to continue
rs course down the furrow. 1t is the
experience of some growers that the
water has taken five or six days to
reach the lower end af the burrows,
covered in 81 hours if the subsoiler
has not intervened. This has been
shown to result in much water for
the subsoil and n notable irrigation

In the small, shallow furrow system

The recourse to deeper burrows and

in several citrus fruit districts in

IT'S being urged that the municipal


council of St. Louis, or even the leg
Question TIM, islature of Mis-
souri,, take up and
pass finally upon
the proper pronunciation of the
name af st. Louis before the opening
of the Louisiana Purchase fair in
that city. 1t is pointed out that an
immemorial dispute over the proper
pronunciation of Arkansas was set
tied by the legislature of that state
In 1851, when it was enacted that the
pronunciation should he "Arkansaw,"
ind the state lived happily ever after.
The name st. Louis was bestowed by
the French when the place was set
tied; and the French pronunciation
Is Loo-ee, to rhyme with the name of
Admiral Dewey. The English pro-
nunciation is 'Lew-iss," practically
rhymiag with the word JewcSs. The
suggestion, once made, does not, of
course halt lamely at st. Louis. When
the dispute is settled there, it is pro-
posed TO ask Kentucky to declare
whether the name of that common
wealth's chief city shall he Loo-ey-
vile or Lcw-is-ville. And Illinois
might settle the point whether the
name Of the thriving city of Joliet
shall De pronounced as the French
explorer after whom it was
named did-Zhole-ya-or whether it
shall be called Jolly-yct. All this is
exceedingly stimulating to the mind
which keeps reaching out for wider
fields, like the mind of man afliict-
ed with the habit of indiscriminate
punning. The New York Post points
out that there are plenty of other
towns which need attention. The
name If the city of Beaufort, in
France, is pronounced Bowfor. a
town in North Carolina, named after
it, isH>nown as Bow-fort, while one
in South Carolina is called Bu-fort
A noted French seaport, Calais, is
pronounced Kal-lay, while its name
sake UP in Maine is called Kal-lis.

by Earl W. Mayo, in Anslec's Maga-
zine. There are plenty of reasons
why tbs should be the case, he con

hospitality of New Orleans and the
cold reserve of Boston, why it should
offer in effective combination the sta
bility Of New York and the puShrul
enterprise distinctive of the west.
Many causes have combined to make
the city which is the most nearly of
all the great cities of the union in
the geographical center of the coun-
try also the most representative Of
the various characteristics which go
to make up the modern twentieth
century, energetic, successful Amer

lay claim to the title. Chicago is
