Laid To Rest,

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. IA
Columbia, Tenn, dispatch says;
business was entirely suspended
and the people of this city and
county, together with large dele
cations from many other Tennessee
counties turned out in force this
morning to do honor to the memory
of the late Senator Edward Ward
Carmack. Public buildings were
draped in Grape out of respect to
the memory of the man who met
such a violent death on the streets
of Nashville Monday afternoon,
aud a deep gloom pervades this en-
tire community.
The morning trains and the trains
last night brought large delegations
from all over the state to attend
the funeral, which was held at IL
o'clock in the Methodist church.
The funeral services were, at the
request Of Mrs. Carmack, very sim
pie, but they were nevertheless
very impressive, and the scenes at
the church and at the grave
where the distinguished stateman
was laid to rest were such as will
never be forgotten by the thousands
of sorrowing friends present.

Business League Urges
Chunty Convict Farm.

Committee of Agriculture of tn
Business League met at the League
headquarters Tuesday afternoon
pursuant to call of the Secretary
for considering the matter of
county convict farm for Ben Hill
County. The matter was thoroughly
discussed and the committee unani
mously agreed that Ben Hill Coun.
ty should have farm for the sup
port of the convicts and for ex.
perimental purposes.
A. sub committee was appointed
consisting of Mcssrs E. N. Davis,
J. B. Seanor, ID. b. Null, VIM.
Nice and A. G. Justice to
go before the County Commission
ers and present the matter. These
with the Secretary of the League,
carried it before the County Com
missioners Tuesday afternoon and
each one of the committee made a
talk before the commission favor
able to the plan.
1t was shown to the Commission
eis that after the first of next
March the county would have on
it's hands between thirty and fifty
convicts; that the cost of keeping
these convicts would be from six
to eight dollars per month each,
but if a county farm could be es-
tabllshed on which the food stuffs
necessary for the cenvicts and for
the stock used in building the
reads could be produced this cost
could be reduced perhaps one half,
making the cost of keeping the
conyicts not over three or four
dollars "a month and greatly re-
.iucing the cost of feed for the
stock.
1t was thought that unless such
a plan were adopted by the coun-
ties, the maintenance of large
road gang would be so expensive,
the counties would eventually grow
tired of this expense and throw

ADVANCED IRRIGATION VIEWS
BY ONE WHO HAS IRRIGATED

Thus good cultivation, in having
the soil well pulyerized, is an aid to
sood irrigation.
The roots Of plant are always
larger than its top. That is, the roots
extend further into the ground than
its top above it. The roots may run
along near the surface or may be
made to penetrate deep into the soil.
If the soil Is kept wet when the plants
begin to grow, their roots will keep
near the surface. But If moisture Is
withheld, the plants will hunt for it,
the same as an animal, and send their
roots deep after it. The deeper the
roots go the larger the feeding ground
of the plant, and the thriftier the
Tiant will be.
Thus, by the application of water,
the irrigator may benefit or injure
plant growth. A plant with roots
near the surface will require frequent
irrigation. One deep-rooted requires
zach less water. Thus by starting
fight the irrigator may either make
or save himself work.
AS between the corrugating or
flooding methods, he preferred the
former. for two reasons; better and
quicker distribution of water, and less
liability Of checking plant growth. In
the corrugating or furrOw method,
furrows three or four inches deep, and
two feet apart, should be made in the
field Immediately after planting, be-
fore the seeds sprout. These burrows
readily conduct the water, carrying 1t
across a field In much less time than
when flooding is resorted to, and dis
tribute the water more easily. The
rise OF an inch or two In few square
rods Of ground Is scarcely noticeable.
Yet water cannot be forced upon such
ground without impounding it by
dams and making the low places too
wet while the high ones are getting
moisture enough to make the plants
grow, Where furrow four inches
deep is made through such high places
the water flows without interruption
and soaks in about ! 2hours from one
corrugation to another, leaving the
surface generally dry and supplying
the water to the roots where 1t Is
needed.
The best results are obtained. In

The following paper on irrigation
read recently at a farmers institute
AZ Aberdeen Idaho, will be of partic-
ular interest to every man who irri-
gates, or ever has or expects to:
Irrigation means he supplying of
water in the right amount at the right
time. Water is the one element nee
essary to plant life, which is under
the control of man and the good irri-
gator can control plant growth with
as much certainty, almost as he can
the shape Of his buildings. The man
who does not understand something
of plant growth can never become a
good irrigator. Water must be ap-
piled in a scientific and rational man.
ner. because it is the lever which con-
trolls production. Moisture, air, heat
and plant food are the elements which
control plant growth. Water is the
vehicle which carries food to the
plant. Descending into the soil it dis
solves the chemical food elements
and rising by capillary attraction, car
ries that food to the plants. Bear In
mind that it is not the water going
into the soil, but that coming up
which feeds the plant.
Plants should grow continuously
from the time the seed sprouts until
they mature. If they are supplied
with moisture in the right quantity
and in the right way, they will do so.
II the soil is saturated with water to
such an extent as to expel the air, the
growth Of the plant Is checked. This
is one reason why irrigation by the
Corrugation method, or in small
trenches. is preferable to flooding.
Bear In mind never to keep thee soil
saturated Water In the soil forms in
thin layers around the soil particles.
II these particles are cubes with inch
surfaces. there would be a film OF
water on all sides Of the cubes. II
this cube were pulverized. or changed
t. a powder there would be as many
films as there are soil particles. There
fore a fine soil will hold more mois-
ture than a coarse soil, because there
are more interstices to be filled. Ten
per cent Of moisture in these inter-
stices and a balance Of air Is about
the ideal proportion.

WHAT CAN WE DOFOR LNElNPL DYED?

Editor, Press-1n trying to study
March IL as to why should not ev-
cry man and woman with willing
hands have work and land when
labor is the only resource they
have for food, clothing and shelter
l find it hard problem. Our great
politicians even have left it still
an open question, as thousands of
unemployed daily testify to.
think you will all agree that able
men and women should have work
and wages to their hearts content,
and how to bring this about is the
real question.
Why are theh willing hands not
working now instead of being idle
and drifting into poverty as fit sub
jects for public charity? Wealth
can come through no other source
than labor. The bankers tell us
they have all kinds of money in
their safes. what then is the mat
ter with the captains of industry
that they have shut down the
plants and let the fires go out?
Will someone good at figures
please show us the enormous loss
in wealth to the idle and to this
nation by this system of manage
ment? Its result is starvation in
the midst of plenty. Who ever
heard of the like? Warehouses full
of labor's products meaning poverty
for the laborers.
Have We not as many people to
feed and clothe as we had a year
ago? Why then should all indus
tries not be running full blast? Cap
ital is not out of funds and unable
to hire labor, the bankers tell us.
Rather surplus products have
piled up and cant find market.
Producers can't buy and pay for
more than half of the product back
Of what they want and need. What
Is the matter anyhow? A hayseed
would like to know and asks some
of the good political doctors to
please diagnose the case and find
the remedy.
What is the government for and
why do we pay taxes to uphold it,
if it is not in duty bound to or
ganize society on lines and laws
that will give every able bodied
man and woman a chance to labor
and live without charity?
Charity is pr aiseworthy, but ii
cannot take the place of labor, and
what men and women the Lord has
blessed with health and strength
want to live on charity and wear
rags?
Society talks great deal these
