Mrs. Robert J. Burdeete Pays Respect

Chicago. Oct. 3l.-Mrs. Robert j.
Burdette, OF Los Angeles. Ca, has
made scathing arraignment of the
-Four Hundred" class. in an address
delivered before local womens club.
THE smart set is nothing but an
cXcrescence on real society," said
Mrs. Burdette. She declared that no
such aggregation could ever be other
than an insignificant factor in the life
OF a great nation.
When asked to consider the soci.

gallery the portrait OF a chameleon
like creature that battles recognition
as she reflects the horse show, the
ball room, the street. the banquet
hall, the boudoir, the automobile; as
a creature that is all things to all
men and nothing TO any man.
She is a creature whose favorite
companions of what is called the
sterner sex are insipid and brainless
creatures who are called men only
because they are not women. She is
a woman whose whole life is one OF
questionable gayety, who smokes al
dinner with men and who drinks rath
er too much at times. The announce.
ment of her engagement brings a
smile with the uplifted eyebrow and
her divorce suit is accepted as a mat

ingness to do all possible to that end.
The senators agree with the secre-
tary that there have been some frau
dulent practices in the administration
OF the land laws. but contended that
there is no more fraud in Oregon
than in other states. They referred
TO the entry OF land in lieu OF patent
ed land within forest reserves, and
said that while there had undoubtedly
been some sharp practice in that con
nection. the fault was largely due to
the law. Senator Mitchell also point
ed out that a stricter inspection of
the area to be inclosed in intended
forest reserves would do much TO pre-
vent the frauds complained of.

without drainage.
A very interesting phase of 1t is
seen in the Louisiana rice field. There
the entire water supply Is obtained by
pumping. The bitches that carry the
water to the land are not dug down
into the ground at all. The sides are
scraped up from the outside Of the
canal or ditch so that the bottom of 1t
is level with the general surface Of the
ground The lands to be irrigated are
checked up in the same way-that is.
the piece of ground called the check Is
surrounded with low bank OF earth
which restrairs the water.
The bitches are dug at lower level
the bottom being dug down below the
surface Of the ground, to carry OF the
surplus water
Such a system as this, combining
irrigation and drainage, would pay
and pay well on every farm in Dakota
that could be prov ided with water and

MIST COMMENCE 1T HIMSELF
According to Chairman Maxwell, If the
North Dakota Farmer Wants to lrri=
gate He Must Do it Himself.

Every farmer should learn 1t by
practical experience.
The plant wants water.
It wants it when it needs it, and 1t
wants only just enough water.
Too much water may be as harmful
as too little.
So the problem of the farmer in
North Dakota ia:
How to scientifically and accurately
water his plaLt growth.
In the great majority of cases IN
that state irrigation ard drainage
must go together.
The same field should be supplied
with ditch system that will bring the
water onto the land and with another
system CT bitches at a lower level to
drain away the surplus water.
THIS dual system Of bitches is in no
sense too complicated or expensive. 1t
is both feasible and practicable. 1t Is
economical because land scientifically
irrigated and drained will produce
many times over what the same land
unrrigated In this way will produce.
Such dual ditch system as that sug-
gested is no novelty. 1t Is frequently
seen in the older irrigated regions
where the farmers have learned by ex
perience the danger OF water logging
and injuring their land by irrigation

George H. Maxwell. executive chair
man the National Irrigation Associa-
t,on. in the Twentieth Century Home:
The whole problem Of irrigation IN
North Dakota revolves around cen
tral principle which comparatively few
understand.
The principe is that water Is the
greatest fertilizer known, ami IS prac-
tically a regulator of plant growth.
Too little water may be death TO
the plant.
And so may too much!
Rut II the water Is given to the
n,ant lust when 1t Is needed ana IN
lust the right quantity each time. q
marvellous increase Of plant growth IS
the result.
In this respect a plant in some ways
resembles a human being.
Plants get thirsty, and II the thirst
is relieved without gorging or drown
ing out the plant, healthy condition
stimulates growth is established.
A draft from canteen OF cool water
will refresh and rejuvenate a weary
soldier.
But the water cure" as applied IN
the Philippines is a cruel punishment
It is this simple principle that
makes the necessity for and beneh'
from irrigation.
Bismarck daily tribune., 1903-12-14

irrigated to advantage.
But that is DO reason why farme:
who knows nothing of irrigation
should be brash about it and go in too
deep at hrst.
The first thing about irrigation is to
get your water.
The next thing to do is to learn how
to use it.
And that takes time and actual
study and experience Farmers want
practical advice. Nothing else is OF
any value tc them. My advice to
North Dakota farmers is this:
Never forget that a man must learn
how to irrigate.
And until you have learned how,
don't bite off" an irrigated farm or
an expensive irrigation system.
1t might be more than you could
Chew" as the saying goes.
Learn to ir.gate first.
Put down a large we'll on your farm
unless you have a pond or stream tina
