What the Two Are AcconElis -
ing on One Acre of Irri,.t.d
Land in GARRISON, Wasa.

William Howard kirkbride tolls 4
The Century what one man. an ea-
gineer, broken down by long, eonin
ing work, is accomplishing in Clark
son. Wash. on one acre of land. JCs-
eoh Lipe bought one-acre ranch
with small house and few fruit
trees on it:
The first few months he passed in
experimenting, drawing upon his pen
sion for living expenses. He read
all that he could find upon the sub
ject. talked with men who had made
a study of irrigation farming and
went among those of his neighbors
who were successful. working in the
fields with them. He saw that the
climate, soil and natural conditions
were favorable for agriculture in all
its diversified forms: he saw the re-
suits obtained through the practical
operation of scientific methods, and
that intelligent effort and careful su-
pervision were what counted. not the
amount of land one possessed. SO he
went to work upon his one acre. He
prured the trees and set out thirty
others of different varieties: he
plowed out the old vegetables and
vines and planted new ones; he sold
the half dozen sick chickens and re-
placed them by thoroughbred black
Spanish rooster and three hens, and
built them a chicken yard, sowing it
to wheat.
From the main lateral, running
past his house, he extended a small
fiume across the west end of the tract.
In this flume he placed series OF
stops and plugs. Now, by removing
one of the plugs. small rivulet Of
water was made to flow between a
certain row of trees. When the thirsty
roots had been refreshed he replaced
the plug, turned the stop and the
next row received a watering. A few
moments with the hoe and the rivulet
was made to wind in and out among
plants and vegetables to any part OF
the tiny ranch. A turn of the hand
and the rain was ove:
He soon learned in just what
quantities each tree and vegetable
required the life-giving moisture,
with the result that his crops have
never famished for want of water or
drowned from excess Of it.
AT the end of the first year his
pension went into the bank. The sale
of fruits, vegetables and chickens had
not only paid all living expenses, but
had left surplus as we'll This was
returned to the land for improve
ments. The house was painted. new
chicken houses were built and the
old fence was replaced by a neat wire
