turned the water off too soon. Not
too soon, however. but what we got
the upper end of the l60 acre tract
well filled.
The upper end or side OF this field
yielded from IL to 81 tons of beets
to the acre, while the end getting
tons per acre. Last winter we irri-
gated this same field all winter and
THE ENTIRE TRACT OF 1874

TONS AVERAGE, MUCH YIELDING
90 TONS PER ACRE, AND WE
SOLD UPWARDS OF $1,000 AND
AFTER PAYING ALL EXPENSES.
WE MADE A NET GAIN OF s297S.
We are now irrigating not only this
same field, but other lands adjoining
1t. Others have seen what can be
done by winter irrigation and many
will yet embark while some are at
this time irrigating lands and we
have just contracted with one Mr..
Huff to grow 40 acres of beets on
lands that hitherto have been con-
sidered worthless for the reason the
winds disturbed the land TO that ex-
tent that no crop could stand il.
With winter irrigation the land
packs and will not blow. Plow deep
in the fall. irrigate all winter work
the surface well in the spring and the
trouble Is over. This is no theory,
but actual demonstration and we
have the figures where anyone may
see them. which is the best proof.
Wishing you continued success,

Very truly.

Dunn is Guilty.
a. r. Dunn, on trial yesterday af-
ternoon for the crime of larceny from
the person, was found guilty, with a
recommendation for mercy from the
jury. The jury deliberated on the
case all night.
A strong attempt was made~by the
defense in the case TO impeach the
testimony of William Brummett, the

was introduced to show that he lost
his money while gambling with Dunn
and another man, instead of having
his pocket picked. This question
evidently caused a division among the
jurymen, and resulted in compro-
mise verdict
