Handling of Date Palms.

The season is approaching for
taking off suckers from date
palms and numerous inquiries
are being made as to the proper
method. The correct method is
as follows:
The suil is removed from the
sucker to a depth of about six
inches or a foot, leaving a few
inches around it undisturbed.
The sucker is then removed
from the parent plant by means
of wide chisel inserted between
the two and driven nearly
straight downward in order not
to gouge into the crown of the
parent tree. The larger leaves
are cut off from the sucker and
it is placed in it's new position
without disturbing Che soil
around it's roots. IF the sucker
is to- be transported to any con-
siderable distance the roots
should be wrapped with saeking
to- keep the soil from crumbling.
Dates transplanted as here rec
commended rarely fail to live.
Experiments have not yet been
made in this country as to the
best time to take off date suck

Irrigation i'm America.

During the past four years the
irrigated area of the United
States has increased 1,704, ,869
acres. At present there are in
this country thousands of miles
of canals, representing a vast
expenditure of money aud labor
and carrying water upon more
than 100000 acres, which are
producing each year crops worth
800, 100000. This area of arti-
6cial productivity is more exten-
sive than the combined area of
Massachusetts and Connecticut,
and it is never disturbed by
droughts or semi arid regions in
the west, which a short time ago
were looked upon as a worthless
desert.
Irrigation works in their broad
er sense include all those meth
DDS employed for supplying a
deficiency or getting rid of an
excess of water and for the dis
tribution of an abundance of
water so as to make it more
available for agricultural pur-
poses. Taking all the plants of
this nature which are in exist:
ence in the United States, the
number of acres irrigated would
greatly surpass the 5000, 900
acres above noted. In the South
Atlantic, the Mississippi river
ana the Gulf states, thousands
Of sections of marsh lands have
been drained and made useful
for rice cultufe and other crops.
Although irrigation is COM
monty believed to be new prac-
tice in the United States, it new
ertheless antedates any written
history of this country. The
census bulletin, from which these
facts are gathered, states that
long before the coming of the
Spanish C0nquerers irrigation
flourished in the valley Of the
Salt river in Arizona and along
the numerous streams Of New
Mexico. The extensive ruins
and lines of long canals Indicate
shat these valleys once support
ed large population and that
agriculture had reached an ad-
vanced stage of development
over considerable areas there
long before America was known
to the so-called civilized world.
