GYPSY SMITH
EVANGELIST DRAWS IMMENSE
CROWD AT FAIRFIELD
CHAUTAUQUA.
lBy E. R. Beam

Fairfield, Aug. 18.-(SpeciaD
$500 people at the Fairfield Chautau-
qua Monday, Gypsy Smith, the evange-
list, told the story of his life from the
time of his birth in gypsy tent until
the present, when he is converting
thousands. He is in this country to
conduct series of revivals in the
larger cities beginning about the mid
die Of September and closing next
May
Today Mrs. Maud Darlington Booth
Is to appear, on Wednesday Jacob A..
Riis, and on Friday Senator La Fol
lette.
The evangelist's story yesterday
was divided into two sections of nine
ty minutes each, one being given in
the afternoon and the second in the
evening.
Most of you people," he said at the
beginning, "can't tell what gypsies
are. They don't kidnap children nor
do they steal anything-they're simply
good finders. Gypsies are the most
moral people in the world and If I
had time could prove that to you
You never heard of gypsy murder,
a gypsy elopement or gypsy divorce.
Nobody knows who the gypsies are for
certain and although there are several
theories believe they are all wrong
| have one Of my own that l like to
believe Is correct. Anyway, just put
this fact down, that the lost tribes of
Israel have never been located Also,
that here are three or four millions of
people whose origin is not known
Just remember too, that if you stand
a Jew and a gypsy side by side you
cannot always tell which is which. AL
so, Just note the gypsies, with no
Bible and no religion except belief in
God that will punish or reward,
have the same Christian names for
their children as do the Jews-names
that you know Of as Bible names.
''If I were an artist l would paint
two pictures. One would be that of
a gypsy camp, the wagon, the tent and
the fire, and out of the group of
gypsies the conspicuous figure would
be ragged little boy. The other
picture would be one of gathering.
such as this, perhaps a little larger,
with that same boy, now grown to
manhood, and the thousands that he

There are approximately 5000

foot dug well, which connects
with the main well by a four
by four foot tunnel. Both dug
wells should be concreted or
boarded up bottom and sides
above the water line to prevent
sand and gravel being sucked
into the cylinders, which causes
rapid wear of the leather wash
ers and valves. By careful at
tention to such details, repair
bills are avoided; the repairs
for three years on these two six
teen foot mills, cylinders, etc,
has been $4.25. The water is

charged through a 8 7-8 inch

Never irrigate direct from the

Peaches do not need as much
water as some other fruits, and
and therefore, when properly
handled with just sufficient wa
ter, they reach perfection under
windmill irrigation. The Cham
pion is now fruiting and is pro-
nouneed the finest favored and
colored peach ever grown in this
section. They sold in the local
market at forty cents per box of
four and a half pounds contain
ing eight to ten peaches. The
early Richmond came in in June
and sold for eight cents per
pound and were the first local
peach on the market. Only a
few should be planted as they
are frequently caught by the
late frosts, and for this reason
they, and for that matter all
early fruits, do better on the
heights than in the lowlands.
The apples are just coming
into bearing and the growth
prophecies we'll for the future.
One five-year-6ld tree held 445
apples; of course the half or
more were removed and made
into vinegar. The Ben Davis,
Guano and Black Ben showed
the greatest growth; the York

next. | am sorry that the limit

OF the tree row, ABOUT bWO leel
out from the terminals of the
limbs, that no roots may be cut.
We thus form temporary irrigat-
ing bitches with high borders.
The water is now turned into
the tree rows and naturally fol-
lows the plowed furrows. Two
irrigation zines are used to dam
up the burrows ahead of the wa
ter. By this means the water
is made to quicke flood the
land. This is repeated until the
entire row is flooded. By this
method we carry the water
across ten acre blocks, irrigating
thoroughly three or four acres
a day.
As soon as the ground is dry
enough to crumble, we use the
same team and plow, throwing
back the furrow (never leave
them open for su bsequent irriga-
tion) followed Immediately with
a cut-away disk, which in turn
is followed with duck bill har-
row. This leaves a fine mulch.
In ten days or two weeks the Or
chard is gone oXer again with a
set of five sweeps; this stirs the
soil and keeps it free from the
weeds; the sweeps are run last
in the direction we wish to next
irrigate, leaving the ground per-
fectly level.
The above plan Of irrigation,
followed by immediate cultiva-
tion, not only conserves the
moisture but gives time for the
mills to again fill the reservoir,
; and seldom is it necessary tC
wait for water. but frequently
does it happen, that having fin
ished cultivation, the reservoir
has all the water it can hold and
both mills are shut down.
