IRRIGATED LANDS.
Official Report Of Cultivate! Acreage
in Nevada.

.. in Nevada.
transmitted to the directors of the
census a preliminary statement con-
corning irrigatin in the State of New
ada for 1902. The report was prepared
under his direction by Clarence J.
Blanchard and is based upon informa-
ton obtained by correspondence. 1t
will soon appear in bulletin form as u
part of the volume of rrlgation statis>
tics for the United States The sta
tistics are for the several counties and
indicate a great increase in irrigation
since the crop year in 1899.
IN Nevada irrigation has not main
tanned q rate Of increase during the
three years following 1899 that it made
during the ten years preceding. The
normal flow Of the streams was con
sideTably below the average, owing to
the light snow fall on the mountains.
As all the water Of Nevada's streams
is already appropriated the State does
not offer many Inducements to new
settlers. Such increase in irrigation rs
f has been made in recent years is due
largely to the more economical use Of
water through better management, the
extension Of canal systems and the CO.
operation Of the farmers in construct
in@ dams and small reservoirs.
IN 1902 there were 1000 systems,
carrying water to 2,2G0 farms at an av-
ersge initial cost per acre Of $2,99. IN
1899 there were / ,498 systems, irrigat-
ing 2,061 farms and the initial cost was
$500 per acre. The total area irrigated
in 1902 was $40 ,0O1 acres, while in
1899 it was 504.1GS. The increase in
number Of systems is 60 per cent:
the number Of farms 81 per cent; ana
in number Of acres 1871 per cent, The
total first cost Of construction Of these
systems as reported III 1902 was $7o2,-
212 an average cost per system 81 .0G5
Ire combined length Of the main ca
nails and bitches was 3,054 miles. ~
nearly two miles for each SYSTEM
There were eight systems Of the total
length Of eighteen miles and costin2

The very low average first cost O.

the following methods, which are en-
ploEed in many parts Of the State
Numerous short streams coming out d
the mountain ranges are d2med at tn
mouth Of the canyons and the waite

THE SAN JOSE SCALE.
A Treatise From a Source That Has
Tested Sprays.

AS Carson is in a turmoil over tho
determination Of the San Jose scale,
and as many are worrying over the
best wash to apply, the following, from
Orchard and Farm, a reliable paper
published on this subject, will be of in
terest to those who are making an eff
fort to rid the trees of the pest. The
Commissioner, who has charge of the
work, has two very valuable washes
that are recommended, and as they
have been given try out and found
to do the work yet the receipt that
is given below is worth trying Should
it prove more efficient than that re-
commended by others, It would be a
boon to those who are combating
the insects. The desire is to rid Car
son Of the pest and if half dozen So
buttons should be tried, it viii do no
harm. From the following it will be
seen that the solution recommended
by the government experts is not IN
all killing remedy and should this now
one prove more effective. Carson viii

circumstances will he run for Gov
enc yet in his case. as in Mr.
Roots, there is a wonderful perSis-
tency in the rumors that he will final
ly be persuaded Should both ex-War
Secretaries be persuaded the guberna-
torial fight will be a battle royal in
deed, for the Democrats have repeat
eddy declared that Lamont would be
invincible as a candidate. while the
Republicans have expressed them
selves equally convinced of the GER
tainty of Roots election should he
stand for the place.
The secret of Lamont's success in
life has always been his ability as an
organizer. When a reporter on the
Albany Argus his work was ex-
tremely valuable to that paper, not
from the literary quality of the
stories he turned in, but because he
got all the news in the department as
, signed to him every day. Frequently
he got a good deal more news than
the others, and it was the fact that
his department was state politics that
put him next to Grover Cleveland and
David b. Hill. Had he begun news
paper life in an industrial center in
stead of a state capital there is every
reason to believe that his bent
might have worked out along import
ant executive lines from the begin
ming.
While Lamont was War Secretary
he had so many portraits of Cleveland
hanging on the walls of his house that
it was sometimes spoken of as "a
Cleveland portrait gallery" There
were Cleveland portraits in the dining
room, the bedrooms, the drawing
rooms and even the nursery.
Like Mrs. Root, Mrs. Lamont has
not been a noteworthy figure in New
York society. In Washington, how
ever, during Mr. Lamont's term in the
cabinet, she was extremely popular
socially. She and Mrs. Cleveland have
always been the best of friends, and
Mrs. Lamont was constantly seen at
the medium in hight, her face is
handsome and her eyes are dark
One of the reasons why Mrs. La
mont has not mixed more in society
here is furnished, probably, by the
fact that she was greatly devoted to
her children during their younger
years.
The eldest of these, Elizabeth is
now in her early twenties, and when
they were small their mother was not
satisfied to leave practically all their
training and care to the servants, as
the manner of many rich women is
One of the daughters is named Fran
ces Cleveland.
Mr.. Lamonts summer residence is
at Millbrook, Duchess county, in
the state of New York, and is named
Altamont. Naturally, owing to their
closenesS in the railroad world, Mr.
Lamont and James J. Hill of the
Great Northern Railroad are intimate
personal friends, and Mr.. Hill is often
a visitor at Altamont.
