IRRIGATION MAKING
MILLIONS OF WEALTH

Oncial records show that the total
set aside for irrigation projects actu
ally under way. for those for which
biis have been received and those
that have been approved by the secre-
tary of the interior is s32, $40, 900.
A compilation Ct figures from gov
ernment reports gives ], ,GS5, 800 acres
as the total to be wsteFed under the
first units of the % projects at cost
of eco, coo. 600, and 2, 3,028, 300 as the to-
tai acreage that these projects will
eventually cover with bitches at a cost
Of Sl09, ,OOO, 600, If preliminary investi.
cations hold. Still more money must
be set aside to complete these opening
projects.
Varying estimates are made OF the
total acreage that ultimately Will be
reclaimed in the states and territories
embraced in the act. The nearest to
official is 6, 900, 0C0 acres. at cost OF
$500, 900, 600. Another estimate is TO-
OOO, 600 acres. The figures ut the
smallest indicate a final result OF great
magnitude. Some enthusiast has said
that "if work Is carried out as con-
templated today, an area OF desert
and mi-produetive land two-fttbs
as large as the present cultivated area
of the United States will be reclaimed.
The total expense of this work will
be 81, 500, 600, 600, and the estimated
value of the land brought under water
$1,000, 900, 600, providing homes for 81
OOO,0 200 farmers.
There is enough in the future OF
this work at any rate to make 1t a
browning glory. With the revolving
fund virtually a continuous chain
scheme, all the money paid out for
projects must flow back, over and
over again, in the payment for water
lights.
Some of this money will not be re-
turned in the first 10 years, for there
will doubtless be settlers that will be-
come tired of farming, or for various
reasons will he unsuccessful in theiI
first efforts and default But 1t will
all come back in time for eventually
title to every foot of the reclaimed
land aud every water right will rest
in some one. Thus the reclamation
work need never end until every feas
ibIe project has been carried out.
The total acreage that 1t was
thought could be reclaimed has d.
minished somewhat through the dis
covery by the reclamation engineers
that some tentative projects that
seemed favorable have proven not
feasible, either because of poor soil or
cost of taking water to the land.
The average value of irrigated land |
In the United States is placed by ex-
perts at Si7 an acre. The value OF the
land Is be reclaimed under the first
% projects therefore, viii be sl42,
$50, 100 The average annual income
from irrigated land in the west has
Desn placed at S25 an acre which, by
the way, if correct, would give the
land far greater value than SAT. This
es' mate will add S75, 7O7, 500 year to
tha country's agricultural wealth.

FINDS PLANT HAS NERVES.
Scientist Discovers hfnship in Sen
sitiveness to animals.

Scientist Discovers kfnship in Sem
sitiveness to animals.
Most persons have heard of the sen
sitive plant" which shrinks from rough
handling ana expands under gentle
treatment, but the scientific truth that
all plants are sensitive, that they have
a nervous organization like that of the
lower animals, will be news to many.
This truth was first proclaimed by
Professor j. C. Bose. Previously phys
biologists had attributed apparent evil
dences of sensation in plants to dis
turbance of the equilibrium of the wa
ter in their tissues Now they know
that plants have really a nervous or
ganization and respond in that way to
outside influences.
Professor Bose regards the plants as
a machine, complex, capable of delicate
response to external misunderstanding
movements and with the power of hold
ing back part Of the energy resulting
from the stimulus shock The exter-
nal stimulus induces expansion.
The interaction of this contraction
and expansion is found to account for
the various phenomena characteristic
of life. Not the least important part of
this conclusion would seem to be that
1t brings into close relationship phe-
nomena between which no connection
could be previously detected. He finds
no exception to the rule that response
is always by concayity of the more ex-
cited side of an organ.
The rhythmic activity of the plant it's
sue is measured by the rate Of forward
propulsion of water due to contractile
response. The transmission of excita-
ton is detected by various methods Civ
ing results in entire agreement. 1t is
curious to find that the so-called sensi-
tice plants are in some respects less
sensitive than their fellows which were
supposed to be insensitiye.
Among the most interesting OF the ex-
periments are those dealing with the
action Of drugs upon the mechanical
response of the plant. 1t is not. of
course a surprise to learn that the inn
mediate effect Of exposure TO the inhu-
ence of vapor of alcohol is, as a rule,
one of exaltatiOn.
There are. however, individual cases
in which state of depression is in
duced from the moment of exposure

TOBACCO THE CHIEF CROP.

Great Profits Yielded by the Indus
try in the Philippines.
Tobacco has played a most important
part in the history Of the Philippines.
No other industry has done so much to
support them In the past, and at the
present time no industry contributes
more to the support Of the insular
tobacco
The Cagayan valley has produced to-
bacco for the government manufac-
tories of Spain and Austria for more
than 140 years. For 101 years of this
time (from 1871 to 1882, when the
tobacco industry was a monopoly Of
the Spanish government, the taxes or
revenues from the production of to-
bacco in the Cagayan valley paid half
of the entire expenses of the insular
government. During the time of the
Spanish monopoly it was the intention
of the government to force the natives
to raise not only more tobacco but
better quality. In this they succeeded.
What can be done In this line by
private companies is well emphasized
by the success of several companies or
ganized after the adjustment Of the
Spanish monopoly and some of them
even since the Spanish war. The
largest of these companies is known as
Compania General de Tabacos de Fill
pinas, or, as known in English, the Gen.
eral Tobacco Company. The stockhold-
ers of this corporation reside mostly in
Spain, although there are a few in the
Philippines. One of the largest stock
holders Is the marquis de Camillas, one
of the wealthfest men of Spain. This
company grew so rapidly and made so
much money out of the cultivation of
tobacco that to-day it is, one Of the
largest commercial enterprises In the
orient 1t is capitalized at 100000,
on which it is paying heavy dividends.
Many Of its employees are stockholders
in the corporation.-Les Weekly.

The Stove.

The following story is being told oil
a certain celebrated Partisan doctor,
whose domestic relations are said to
be not altogether satisfactory. He
was called in one day to prescribe
for lady who thought she had in
fluenza. But the doctor, after observ-
ing her symptoms, looked about the
loom in order to discover the cause.
Suddenly he perceived the stove, a
very beautiful work of art, and ex-
claimed: MY dear madam, that stove
is the cause of your trouble; it is fill
ing your room with poisonous gas,
and if you continue to use it, will end
by killing you"
But, Doctor, it cost me 100 francs ;"
NO, matter; better lose your money
than yoar health"
But, as the lady still seemed uncon-
WINGED, the doctor added:
& will give you one quarter the
price, and see if l cannot get rid of
the thing
SO the stove departed.
Later on the patent was Changing
her apartments and went to look at
some others that were being vacated.
In one of the rooms she inspected she
recognized her former stove.

How He Got a warmer Seat.

One bitter cold night recently a sol
emn-faced man drove up to a tavern
near Westchester and made his way to
the sitting room after seeing that his
horse was taken to the stable. There
was a large crowd of guests huddled
around the stove and he had to take a
distant seat where it was not much
warmer than outside. AS soon as a
waiter appeared the man said
Get two dozen oysters on the half
shell and take them out to my horse"
When the waiter passed through the
room on his way to the stable every
body but the new guest followed him to
see the remarkable horse feed on raw
oysters. In a few moments the dis
gusted crowd, headed by the waiter,
returned to the room to find the owner
Of the horse comfortably seated by the
stove.
