THE DINNER QUESTION

water the stream may become thir-
ty. forty, sixty and even hundred
rods in length before 1t becomes
necessary to move the canvas dam
farther down the ditch. Sometimes
when the water is abundant, the
work may be facilitated by using
two of the bitches at the same time
until the entire field is gone over
The man in charge of the work
is kept busy in the meantime with
his shovel to keep the water from
breaking through the earthen banks
or the new bitches, in places where
it should not.
In irrigating row crops. the plan
is somewhat similar. The rows
must be planted always with the
idea of following the fall of the land.
The water is then allowed to run
between the rows of potatoes, sugar
beets, etc.
When irrigation time is on, the
man with the shovel must often
work all day and good part of the
night, for "the water once passed
case the men work in shifts, and it
requires only a few days to go over
farm. as the amount of water al
lotted is usually based on the size
of the farm.
The big canals are usually built
by Ditch" companies generally
composed of the farmers to be ben
efitted. The business is conducted
very much like that of any other
big corporation by board of dir
ectors and officers, superintendents
and minor employees, who look af-
ter the business end of the work,
distributing the water pro rata and
keeping everything in running order.
Late years the construction of
great storage reservoirs on the
plains to conserve the water supply
when it was not needed for irriga-
tion or when there was more than
needed. has somewhat complicated
the work of the Officers of irriga-
ton companies. Sometimes the
ditch company also owns the res
ervoir, often the reservoir company
is an entirely separate corporation
that stores water to sell to farmers
that may need it. The reservoir
company may have no canal at all
through which to distribute the wat
er, In which case they must make
their peace with some 1itch COM

ais and laterals remain intact from
year to year, excepting for an occa-
sional cleaning when sediment in
the bottom cuts down their carry
ing capacity.
When you have followed the water
from the river through the main can
al to the first lateral; still farther
through one of the sub-laterals that
runs along the highest side of an
individual farm, you are almost
ready to see irrigation itself.
After the spring rains have ceas-
ed and it becomes necessary to re-
sort to irrigation to keep the crops
from parching, the farmer prepares
his field for the water. This he
does by plowing series of parallel
right angles to the last mentioned
lateral. or in such direction as will
carry the water to the end of each
ditch, with always n strip of ground
lying lower than the ditch. This
work is done with ditching plow,
an implement made especially for
this purpose with double mold
board, that throws the misplaced
dirt up on both sides of the ditch.
Bear in mind also that this prepara-
ton Is made Tor irrigating sown
crops. such as grain and alfalfa,
where the ground must be flooded
all over. with a sort of sheet of
water.

cut in the bank of the small lat

to the new ditch for short distance
and there runs against a portable
dam. usually made out of heavy can
vas. The sdewall OF the ditch fac
ing the lower ground is cut away
for n foot or two and the water runs
through this opening on the ground
spreading out in thin sheet over
the strip of land lying between the
ditch containing the water and the
paralleling ditch, the distance be-
tween the bitches varying somewhat
between eighty or one hundred feet,
according to the contour OF the
ground. The water will now run in
a silent and very shallow stream

GREELEY POTATO
HISTORY
BY A. l.. MUMPER

The Greeley district, comprisins
Greeley, Eaton, Ault, Windsor ahL
kersey raise on an average about
10000 cars of potatoes yearly
Weld county is the second largest
potato growing county in the United
States, being surpassed only by one
county in Maine. The potato was
the source of our wealth before the
sugar factories appeared and it still
leads, in the judgment of many of
our best farmers, as the crop that
produces the greatest profit per ac-
re. Sugar beets, however, is close
second. Nearly 200 acres of Weld
county land are yearly planted in
potatoes,-the two principle yarie-
ties being Pearls and Rurals. The
principal market for our potatoes il
Texas, Oklahoma. Kansas, New Mex
leo. besides supplying Colorado MIN
ing camps and in some years when
the Mississippi states have too much
rain or not enough we sell large
quantities in Iowa, some in Chicago
and a few cars have strayed into
! New York City.
The growing of potatoes here has
been reduced to almost science by
our farmers. The care begins as
soon as the seed is placed in the
dugouts or cellars in the fall The
dugout must be watched carefully
all winter not to be allowed to get
too hot nor too cold and To he kept
properly ventilated. Toward spring
the seed must be watched carefully
to keep it from sproutlng or at least
to hold back the sproutins as much
as possible. This is done by keeping
the dugout as cool as possible and
by shoveling over the seed occasion
ally. 1t is a good scheme to give
the seed some sunlight just before
planting it, 1t will come up quicker
when placed in the ground and also
be less likely to rot. To get the
heaviest yields potatoes must follow
alfalfa. The alfalfa sod should be
broken say six to eight inches deep,
carefully levelled and pulverized and
if possible the seed placed in the
ground at time when it contains
sufficient moisture to bring it up.
The potatoes are planted by mach
inery-the Aspenwall and Evens
planter having the lead in planters
used Eight pickers are generally
used on the richest land and the
rows are run from three to three
feet four inches apart. The careful
farmer is very particular to select
seed that is not run out.
He is just as particular about cut
ting so that the pieces will be large
enough and not so large that the
pickers will not take ho'i of them.
A good job of planting is half the
battle.
After the potatoes are planted.
The first thing to do is to cultivate
them before they are up and then
harrow the ground down smooth
This loosens the ground and gives
he potatoes about two weeks start

MASONIC
Resolutions In Memory of John
". Jones,

Apperson Lodge No. 1876, f. and A.
NJ, Louisa, Ky.
At low twelve, Oct &c, 1908, the
spirit OF our beloved brother, John
w. Jones, winged Its flight to its
eternal reward. After long suffering
he has entered into that peaceful
rest prepared by the Great Arehi-
tect of the universe for all these
who love Him and keep His command
ments. ..
Brother Jones was a Free and
Accepted Mason and a christian gen
tleman who always loved 10 live
up to the teachings of the scriptures
and secrets of Free Masonry. As
Master, Warden or Secretary he was
punctual, ready and willing to do
his duty. He had been Secretary Of
our lodge several years and his ia
lniliar figure will be missed from
the desk and his place will be hard
to fill.
Resolved, That while we humbly
bow in submission to the Divine viii,
We deeply feel the loss our lodge has
sustained in the bereavement, yet
we are comforted in the belief that
our loss is his gain. ... 49,.
Resolved that We tender to the
relatives and friends of our depart
ed brother our heartfelt sympathy
for their great loss, and earnestly
commend them to the care Of God
who alone can give comfort In time
of trouble and has promised to be
an ever present help to those who
trust him.
Resolved that a copy of these res
buttons be sent to the family Of our
deceased brother, and one to the
Big Sandy News and the Louisa
Courier for publication, and that we
place upon a page set apart in our
record book this testimony Of our
sense OF loss and Our love for him an
recognition of his worth and many
virtues.
