spindling, unhealthy vegetation even
where the seed germinated at all. It
was, in fact, for many years the belief
OF the best farmers, based on expert
ence, that it also injured potatoes to
irrigate them before they were in
blossom, or at least until the vines
were Of sufficient size to shade the
earth about the crowns Of the hills.
When, however these farmers be-
gan to turn under alfalfa stubble, or
growing fields of this wonderful plant,
from one foot to 1S inches high, prep
aratory to the planting of crop OF
potatoes, a change in conditions was
quickly observed Now, if the winter
has been an unusually dry one, and
virtually all moisture resulting from
the irrigations Of the previous season
has been Tapped up by the winds, the
field to be devoted to potatoes can
be irrigated before plowing in; or,
having been barely able to plow the
ground without irrigation, if the ex-
pected rains do not follow, the grower
proceeds with planting, and, If neces-
sary, Immediately burrows out the
rows between the easily distinguish
able lines left by the planter, and
turns in the water And this opera
ton is almost invariably attended by
success Furthermore. II the late
May rains, which can De depended on
five years out Of every six, prove in
any instance only sufficient to sprout
the seed and bring the young plants
above the surface, there is no longer
any hesitation to irrigate then or at
any later period of growth when, in
the Judgment Of the experienced farm
er conditions require it.

at frequent intervals to prevent set
back in growth, and that a check in
the growth Of either plant or tuber
after one or more irrigations is more
injurious by far than if the plant had
in the first place been considerably
pinched for the want Of moisture.
The conditions under which iyriga-
tlon should take place have been
stated in general terms, but 1t would
be difficult, If not impossible, to indi-
cate TO novice through directions
just when the conditions actually ex-
list; for instance, the absence of mois-
ture after planting to such an extent
that the sprouts will never get up
through the dry earth Is a matter that
only actual experience can determine;
and there is the early period Of growth
when the vines for lack Of moisture

standstill, and irrigation is rer
quired to insure steady and continued
development Of vine and tuber. Here
again knowledge can be obtained only
after long observation and experience.
Irrigation is applied early and late, as
the conditions require, as before
stated, and, except with the compare
lively small area devoted to early POI
tatoes. the season ends in all ordinary
seasons only with the first week in
September, and sometimes even later.
Formerly, and before the construc-
tion Of reservoirs to furnish an addi-
tional supply OF water for late irriga-
tion, potatoes were irrigated three or
four TINES in the season, according to
the supply Of water, which was usual
ly insufficient and precarious. Now

Methods In Use IN Greeley Colorado District Whers
Big Crops Are Raised.

One Of the first things discovered
when the settlers began to break up,
irrigate and cultivate the upland soil
in Colorado over 30 years ago, was
that they could neither successfully
irrigate a planting of potatoes or corn
to bring it up in case of an insufficient
rainfall to germinate tuber or seed,
nor apply water during the earlier
stages OF growth without endangering
the after growth and ultimate yield
of these crops. If after planting, the
usual rains failed and water was ap-
piled, there almost invariably re-
suited poor stand, and sickling,

ance amounting to $4,000 or this
amount $11 900 had been carried for
a number of years before Mr.. Dexter's
death, and there was no contest as to
its payment. Policies representing
$1,000. however, had been carried only
a short while, and he companies re-
sisted payment on he grounds that
Mr.. Dexter was in III health at the
time the insurance vas written. The
