IRRIGATINe THE sPuD CROP
Watering and DiteFins Delayed Until
the Plant Begins to Bloom Or
the Tubers Set.

Ditching and irrigating are delayed
| as long as possible. The rule Is not
to irrigate if 1t can be avoided until
the potatoes are in bloom or the tu-
bers set, which will be within the
next fortnight The ditching is done
with narrow double mold board
pillow. Three horses are attached
and the plow is run once in each row
at about the depth of cultivation. or
ten to twelve inches. This ditching
takes the place of one cultivation. and
If the ground Is hard or II the first
irrigation fills the bitches to any ex-
tent. the operation is repeated SO as
to make the bitches deep enough to
keep the water below the surface OF
the potato ridges
The details Of irrigation depend up
on the size and contour Of the field.
Many OF the fields are SO arranged
that the rows are from one-fourth to
one-half mile long. II the land slopes
sufficiently and continuously across
the field from the supply ditch, the
problem Is simple. At the FIRST appli-
cation the water is turned into a
lateral at the head OF the rows. A
canvas dam is placed in the head
ditch SO as to hold the water back and
raise 1t into the rows After the wa
ter has run in these rows sufficient
length OF time to thoroughly wet the
soil. the canvas dam is pulled out and
reset farther down and the water 10
stopped by blocking the heads OF the
irrigated rows with soil. In large
fields the water Is run In alternate
rows only.
The head Of water depends upon the
slope and length of rows. II short
and the incline steep. the head must
be small or the stream will reach the
far side SO quickly that enough water
will not be used to thoroughly wet the
soil On the other hand, II the rows
are long and the land nearly level the
head OF water Is increased SO as to
force 1t along the rows faster. or a
transverse ditch is cut through the
middle Of the field SO as to shorten the
distance the water has to flow. II
ridges occur in the field transverse
bitches are run along at their top and
irrigating is done both ways from it.
When the water has run in the
bitches until 1t seeps- through to the
unirrigated row. the soil is sufficiently
wet AT the second irrigation the
water-is run In the rows not irrigated

Uncle sam Cannot stop us From
Dumping o9r Sewage Into
the Rivers.

Burlington Gazette: I'VE find that
THE United States government has no
power to restrain cities along internal
waterways from dumping their sew
| age into streams from which the cit
les get their water supply" says DR..
+; Moerke, who returned to the city last
I evening from Washington, D. c..
where he attended the convention OF
! the state and provincial boards Of
health and the marine hospital service.
! He was the official delegate from the
| Iowa board OF health.
DR.. Moerke as chairman OF the COM
/ mittee presented paper dealing with
the pollution OF streams from which
cities draw their water supply. An
opinion was rendered by the attorney
general to the effect that the national
government has no control over the
interior waterways other than that Of
navigation. The states have all the
power to regulate matters such as fish
ing, dumping of sewage. etc. There
fore no action BIZ the government can
effect such cities as Burlington. Day
export. Muscatine. Dubuque, st. Louis
and others which are daily dumping
greater quantities of poisonous matter
into the Mississippi river for the
towns farther down stream to draw in
with their water supply.
1T win require action By the bor-
dering states before the pollution Of
streams can be restrained says DR..
Moerke. As the years go on and the
cities increase in size. the need of con-
trolling this is becoming more neces-
sary. think the time is not far off
when the states will take action. The
septic tank is the solution OF the prob
lem. Cities like Burlington can install
these tanks in the sewers at all points
where branches open into the main
sewers. and by this means all vege-
table matter will be destroyed and the
stream which will finally reach the
river will be pure instead OF poison
GUS. The cost will not be great,
either.
1T Is up to each state to take up
this matter individually, and the rep
resentatives present at the Washing
ton convention will present 1t at the
next meeting Of the legislatures in
their states"

 That the people of this city have been far sighted enough to vote in favor of their interests, is 8 source of justification to the Silver Belt, which at all times supports the interests or the public at large.
 How the Wards Went.
 Or the watcrworks issue, the First, Second, Third and Fifth wards carried oy good majority. The Fourth lost and the Sixth went aatly against the issue.
 With the sewers, the First and See ond wards carried easily and the Third by majority of one. The negative votes in the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth were sufficient to pull down the ''yes' total and defeat the measure.
 It is singular fact that in the Fourth ward, the figures were exactly reversed on the water and sewer is- sues.
 Every one who voted cast ballot for both the water and sewer bonds, the totals being the same in both cases.
