SMALL SCALE IRRIGATION.
Success Has Attended Efforts of East
ern Farmers.

After watching for years the successful
operation Of irrigation plants large
scale in the west, the eastern farmers are
taking up the practice on a small scale to
help out the rainfall that In ordinary
season is supposed to be sufficient to
raise crops. A report to the Department of
Agriculture recently shows something OF
what is being done in this line and the re-
port is enough to encourage the farmers
who have not taken up the practice to put
in plants.
The irrigation works in the east cover
parts of Maryland and Pennsylvania, New
York and some of the New England states.
The plants mostly in connection with
truck gardens, for it is there that the re-
turns per acre are the highest and the
farmer can afford to spend more money for
water than he can on less paying crops
Some of the water is from the city mains
and the cost is, of course, high Others or
the eastern irrigators have 20 pump from
wells and use expensive lines of overhead
and underground pipes. But the result as
a rule is that the irrigated farm pays about
twice much as that without irrigation.
There are some wet seasons in the east
when there is no need for irrigation at all.
But there are other times when without ar
tificial watering the crops would be total
failure, and when with the aid or lrrlga-
ton crops mature as much as two weeRs
earlier and of course bring much higher
prices. Irrigation has been tried also on
pasture lands and the farmers report that
twice as much hay can be cut in ii season
off irrigated land as on that not irrigated
and that if the land is used for pasture
twice as many head of stock can be grazed
to the acre as on dry pasture, and that the
feed is better.
Berries and small fruits and celery and
beets seem to pay particularly wen Tor the
added water given them There are numer-
Gus instances cited in the report where the
irrigation of a strawberry farm has made
all the difference between success and FALL
ure.
The renort goes into many technical de-
tails as to the cost of pumping plants and
the results obtained under various condi-
lions in various localities

Chicago Suit to Disrupt a Supposed
Combine

William B. Beckman of Blytheviile, Ark,
has filed bill in the United States circuit
court of Chicago asking for accounting
with and a receiver for the Chicago MIL

Box Company, Marked Tree Lumber Com
pany. Herman Paepcke, Edward A. Leicht,
William Wins, Charles Wiedman and all
unknown officers and stockholders of the
Chicago Mil and Lumber Company, re-
straining them from acting in a combina-
ton in restraint of trade.
Beckman, in his bill, alleges that there
has been in existence since 1900 "a pool,
trust, agreement understanding unlaw-
fully to regulate and fix the prices of
boxes In the United States. He declares
that the trust, which he declares in his
bill has been formed, has no actual name,
but that the agreement to create mo-
nopoly includes by far the great majority
of manufacturers and dealers in boxes In
Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Ten
nessee Mississippi Louisiana. Kentucky,
Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan and Minnesota.
He declares that the alleged combinat ton
parcels out the territories in the several
states to certain members of the organiZa-
ton SO one more members shall have a
monopoly on the product in that territory.
and can fix prices and stifle competition"
According to the bill, the alleged combina-
and possibly twice as much" with an
nual output valued at $25,000,000. Beckman
asserts that he Is stakeholder in the Chi
cage Mill and Lumber Company, and has
never received any dividends, although the
company has made a great deal of money.

since the victory of Go Between in the

not It was a gelding. 1t was proved on IN
vestigstion that the horse had not been
operated on, though he had run as geld
ing for long before he was bought by
Shields out of selling race.
Go Between's victory in the suburban was
allowed to stand, but a subsequent protest
of F. r. Hitchcock, carried on appeal 10

prior to the ruling of me stewards yester,
day that on account of the controversy Go
Between would not be a starter in the
Brighton handicap. to be run tomorrow
The disqualification will effectually put out
Go Between and all Shields horses from
many big races to be run at the present

Out Decision of Court.

At Paris last night the ministers held a
protracted special session at the Elysee
palace under President Faliieres and deter

ryfng out the Dreyfus decision.
The text of two bills was formulated,
which will be introduced In the chamber of

Capt. Dreyfus and Col. Picquart, with the
object of restoring both to the rank they
would have held if they had continuously
served in the army.

lieutenant colonelship. Picquart will i'm
mediately become brigadier general.
Dreyfus' name will also be inscribed on
the list for the Legion of Honor but he
will not be directly nominated to that dis

hurt, some of them probably sustaining
fatal injuries, is the latest report of the
motor bus accident on the line from Lon
don to Brighton, mentioned in The Star yes

speed and colltded with a tree, which was
smashed to matchwood. The occupants or
the vehicle were pitched in all directions.
Several of the killed were so terribly man
gled that 1t was difficult to identify them.

REYNOLDS May Pull Through.

But with all these things against him,
Mr.. Reynolds may pull through. The usu-
al republican majority in the three counties
is about 5000 and, despite the fact that
the contest will take place in an off year,
1t will keep Mr.. Thropp and his democratic
Lincolnite cohorts busy to tip the political
scales TO their own advantage. Mr. Rey-
nolds has made an excellent congressman
and 1t will be a hard job to pick flaws in
his record. In fact. 1t has been a long
time since the district has had as able
and popular a representative Mr. Rey-
nolds. and II is therefore not unlikely that
when the voters come to size up the situa-
ton they will conclude that Reynolds is
good enough for them and instead OF pun
ishing him. turn their ballots against the
machine candidates set up by Senator Pen
rose at the recent state convention. But
however that may be, the contest will be
fought with interest.
