ADVANTAGES or IRRIGATION.

Al one becomes more familiar with
the conditions under which the farmer
In the irrigated tracts Of the west
works his land and handles his crops
1t In clear that he has several advan-
tages over his fellow farmer In the
central and eastern states. who relies
upon rainfall alone for the moisture
necessary for the growth and maturi-
II of bis crops. Perhaps his chief and
most important advantage II that he
Is able to put water on his land at
will, being free from the distraction
and annoyance of heavy rains during
the time Of seeding and cultivation.
which would soak the ground, delay
cultivation and give the weeds a big
boost. Coupled with a perfect reSu-
lation Of the moisture which is al
lowed to go upon the land IL another
favorable condition-the large number
Of clear. bright days during the har-
vest months. which make possible the
perfect ripening of the grain and hay
and the harvesting and securing Of 1t
under most favorable conditions. Any
one who has tried to cure hay between
showers In June in the central and
eastern states VIII appreciate this
point. Lastly. the irrigated lands have
this vital point In their favor-that
little IL any Of the original fertility Of
the soil has been soaked bat and
washed out by repeated and heavy
rains. This accounts for the remark
able productivity of western soils.
which have waited centuries for the
magic touch Of water to make them
the garden spots Of earth. In view Of
these points and others which might
be mentioned. 1t 10 not surprising that
many an. eastern farmer looks long
ingly toward the west and many an
other pulls up stakes and goes out to
the irrigated sections.

PEERLESS LEADER
AFTER SENATE JOB
Reported That William J. Bry-
an Wants to Succeed
&. ]. Burkett.
He DOESN'T DENY REPORT
PEOPLE OF AMERICA WOULD De
HUGELY DELIGHTED TO SEE
BOTH BRYAN AND ROOSEVELT
ON TIE JOB.

washington, April 1o.-DemOcr4t6 In
congress are vastly interested in the
reported possibility that William ].
Bryan may seek election to the senate
as the successor of Elmer J. Burke.t.
whose term expires March 1911. A
dispatch from Little Rock, Ark, quot
ed Mr.. Bryan as saying that while he
should prefer that some other Nebras-
ka democrat be nominated for the SEN
atorship, he would not say that he
would not be candidate. Earlier dis
patches from Nebraska had represented
Mr.. Bryan as an acknowledged aspi-
rant for senatorial honors.
While Mr.. Bryant's advent in the
senate would not be hailed as an un-
mixed blessing by all the democratic
members thereof. no doubt the rest of
the country would take a great deal OF
pleasure in seeing Mr.. Bryan a senator
and derive no little pleasure therefrom.
Then, II Mr.. Roosevelt would only
come to the senate as the successor OF
Chauncey Depew. the satisfaction Of
the country would be complete.
A Rude Surprise.
If either Mr.. Bryan or Mr.. Roosevelt
Is under the impression that upon be-
coming senator he would at once step
into the leadership of his respective
party in that chamber, he would as
well be prepared for a rude surprise.
It is q pretty good guess that both MI.
Bryan and Mr.. Roosevelt would have
to undergo a course OF hazing, though
the dose would not be SO severe, prob
ably, as the one for instance, which is
being applied to Lafollette, of Wiscon-
sin.
There are a number of democratic
senators who genuinely and sincerely
acknowledge Bryan as the leader OF
their party, but they are hopelessly III
the minority. The average demo-
cratic senator is deeply convinced that
he himself would make much better
leader than Mr.. Bryan. And how they
would keep him smarting from pin
pricks! Old hands at the senatorial
business can annoy newcomer in a
thousand ways. and the newcomer
isn't able to tell just where he Is preck-
ed or who pricked him.
Bryan Still Leads.
Mr. Bryan's influence with the DEM
ocratic minority in the house would
be quite another matter. Although q
few house democrats have repudiated
the Nebraskan, it undoubtedly is true
that a majority Of them still look up
on him as the greatest democrat of his
day and are willing still to follow his
lead Mr.. Bryan's being in the senate
would make lot of difference In the
lower house of congress.
Mr. Bryan will not come to the SEN
ate, however, without having a mans
fight on his hands. Elmer Burkett
may not shine as one of the great
white lights of the upper house, but he
knows the game of politics and works
at it twenty -four hours a day. seven
days week, and all the weeks of the
year. II there is voter in Nebraska
who hasn't received a personal letter
from Burkett this year. it's because the
voters card has been lost. Burkett
writes letters at the slightest prQvoca-
ton, and when there is no provocation
he writes anyhow.
