SCARCITY OF GRAVEL
MATTER DISCUSSED BY COUNTY
 BOARD OF REVENUE.
Agricultural Association Wants Road Built to Run by the Fafr Grounds Report of the Dfaburse-
 meufa.

A scarcity of gravel was yesterday discussed at the weekly meeting of the Board of Revenue of Montgomery county.
 Nearly all of tho business of the Board of Revenue has to do with Inc improving of the roads of the county and the opening of new ones, The only thing that keeps the Board from open ing a number of new roads is the scarcity of gravel. It is almost im- possible to get enough gravel even for tho routine work and the contracts which have already been awarded. A number of new coptracts would be let at once If the material for building the roads could be obtained.
 Montgomery county already has more than i50 miles of graveled roads and several others have been planned and are waiting until the road build CTS can get to them.
 President W IT VapdF,er and Sec retary J. c. Adams of the Alabama Agricultural Association were before the Board at yesterdays session with q petition that the road which the Association proposes to open between the Upper and Lower wetumpka roads be graded and graveied by the county The road will be needed to make the State Fair grounds accessible No Action Was Taken. Petitioners were before the Board to ask what disposition had been made with the petition filed some time ago asking for the opening of a road be- 1 tween the Wasden and Hayneville roads near McGehse's Switch. They were informed that the matter would be brought 10 I definite conclusion as soon as the Board had dispesed of oth- CT matters which have priority. The following disbursements were reported by Secretary Westcott for the two weeks from June II to June 25: Petit juror.

La Prensa is the greatest and most

SLIDING GATE IN PLUME.

Dowle, Jr., an expert in the irrigation
and drainage Investigations of the de-
partment of agriculture, has noted
some interesting points of practice In
a recent report on irrigation In the
north Atlantic states.
The advantages to be gained from IT.
rigation are limited to certain crops.
Such field crops as timothy, clover,
wheat, rye, oats and corn are not par
ticularly affected by droughts of short
duration. The value of such crops In
eastern Pennsylvania will usually lie
between $50 and $50 per acre, and irri-
CATION In such instances would hardly
pay under present conditions. The
case of truck crops Is entirely differ
emit The value of a single crop will
often be $500 to 81 800 per acre, and
usually two to three crops are grown
on the same land in year. Crops of
this nature are much more sensitive to
drought than field crops.
The success of irrigation under the
conditions found In the east Is due not
to cheap water supply, but to the high
value of crops grown and the careful
distribution of the small quantity of
water used. Most of the irrigated
meadow land in Pennsylvania lies
near the beds of small creeks fed by
springs. Small dams constructed of
timber back filed with earth are built
to raise the water sufficiently high to
cover the land. but not for storage.
They are usually small affairs, cheaply
constructed, costing from S5 TO $50.
The use of wells as a source of irriga-
ton Is quite limited. Many farmers
near the large cities use city water for
irrigation, since If the farm Is small
and the use of water is limited 1t Is
thought to be cheaper than pumping.
The reason for the prevalence In the
east of the sprinkllng method of irri-
cation, which Is practically unknown
in arid sections, lies in two important
differences In the conditions of irriga
ton practice-frst, the quantity of wa
ter applied In one irrigation In the east
must be small owing to the risk of
| sudden and heavy rains which would
swamp a crop II falling soon after n
Il
heavy irrigation, and. second, the soils
used for truck farming In the east are
not, as a rule, 80 capable Of storing and
retaining water as the arid soils, so
that heavy Irrigation once month
will not answer the needs OF garden
crops In the east. With the SPRINKLE
system 1t Is possible to apply unifor"l-
ly as small quantity of water as de-
sired, while with burrows enough must
be applied to run through the burrows
and soak literally to the roots of the
plants. Noting the use Of handmade
canvas hose to carry water downhll
from the pump under very light pres

width Is cut up into three strips, each
of which Is made into hose which Is

to those diseases of plants (blight,
rust etc which are caused by para

the disease is one which progresses
