A NEW SYSTEM OF lRRIGA-
TON FOR THE DESERT.

According to Prof. John L. Virgins
of Kansas City, say the Kansas City
Times, the Great American desert is
The "Wiggins System of Sub-Irriga-
tion," as it is called, is, the inventor
declares, not only simple and cheaply
operated, but any farmer can success
fully irrigate from ten to thirty acres
of land from ar ordinary bored well.
Such wells, the inventor claims, can
be drilled almost anywhere in the ar
i'd and semi-arid districts of the West.
The system of sub-irrigation recent
ly invented and patented by Prof.
Virgins, consists Of a series of GEM
ent pipes laid from nine to fifteen
inches under ground. An elevated tank
or reservoir, is filled by means of an
ordinary gasoline motor or by a wind
mill. From this tank runs the main
conduit foul to six inches in diameter
to which are connected two-inch later
al tiles, with holes on either side, and
through which water is forced out in
to the soil. These openings, or ports,
are covered with a fine screen of cop
per wire which prevents roots and 9th
er distinctions from clogging them.
The tile Is made by al of hydraul-
ic pressure n Is continuous, thereby
enabling 1t to withstand high press
ure. The water carries with it a GER
tain amount OF oxygen which, the in
veutor declares If worth almost or
much to plant life as moisture itself.

At a recent meeting of the New
York and New England Association OF
Railroad Surgeons, it was declared
that the greatest causes of railroad
wrecks are love, liquor, gambling and
imperfect safety devices. The first of
these causes is one beyond the reach
of man, or woman either for that mat
ter, but we can eliminate the other
causes, and the day will come when
they will be eliminated.

IRRIGATION is Ancient.

The reclamation of arid lands by
means Oh irrigation is popularity sup
posed to represent the elimination
all the latest scientific knowledge can
afford by way of suggestion. But 1t
is a curious fact that the greatest
authorities in the world are just now
receiving some very valuable help by
studying the irrigation methods Of
the ancient Chaldeans. While this
branch of the International investi-
cation of the whole subject is being
pursued by the English, the American
authorities are taking the deepest int
crest in what is being learned from
those far-off people who lived in the
dawning days of the world.
Sir William Willcocks, the English
engineer who constructed the Assuan
dam on the Nile, one of the greatest
engineering feats ever performed, is
studying the ancient irrigation canals
in Lower Chaldea and is confident
that many millions of acres will be
restored to fruitfulness. The Chalde-
ans once dominated the world in sci
ence and art, industry and agricul-
ture and the foundation Of this SUI
premacy was the scientific cultivation
of the soil. They were extensive farm
ers, the first in the history of the
planet, and 1t is an interesting fact
that the greatest agricultural author
tiles of the present day insist that
we must go back to first principles
after all these thousands of years and
learn from the farmer who lived be-
lore the deluge.
The rudimentary traces of the fri
cation works constructed by the Chal-
deans, whose very name suggests un-
told antiquity and is familiar only to
the erudite, excite the liveliest admi-
ration Of the most eminent irrigation
engineers of the twentieth century.
What must they have been in the
days when the Cha1deans were the
masters of Babylon and first gave to
the tribes OF men the story of the
stars? Verify there is nothing new
under the sun, and we moderns do
not know it all.-Review of Reviews.

MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Speaking of h new system OF SUD-
irrigation and it's possibilities in the
arid sections of Arizona, New Next
co and other parts of the West, Prof.
Virgins says:
PLENTY of good water can be found
at depths ranging from fifty to 300 it.
in almost any district where Uncle
Sam owns millions of acres, and from
these wells we propose to irrigate. By
my system any farmer can install and
use we'll water. The cost of installa-
ton depends largely upon the cost OF
is made in the ditch and covered ov-
er when perfectly dry. There a be
no loss from evaporation, except as 1t
stands in the tank, or reservoir.
My system has been tested in Ok
lGhoma and Florida. Two acres of alf'
ala produced seven crops asst year.
Vile only four cuttings were secur
! on the adjoining land.
1--WE expect to sell both hand and
Jwer machines to actual settlers in
te arid belt and assist them fnan
ally in securing the land and in
stalling their plants. Millions of acres
can he AIKEN up and put under a high
state of production. OF course this
would only be possible where water
can be found at reasonable depth, and
in quantity. This, however, will not be
difficult. Practically every acre OF
land in the arid belt can be sub-irri
gated. What we call sheet water car
be found al from twenty to $50 feet
from the surface. Millions of acres OF
rich land are owned by the govern
ment where it would be impossible
to lead bitches to it by means of irrf
CATION bitches Furthermore, evapora
ton would take up from 40 to rs pei
cent of the water before it could be
distributed over any considerable ter
ritory. With sub-irrigation there
could be no evaporation"
