London.-The Times Of India gives
some interesting facts regarding the
work done by the Indian government
in extending the irrigation system Of
the land. OF the Deccan system, 1t
says:
THE Deccan schemes are Of first
class Importance and value. They
make a vivid appeal to our magma
ton and sympathy. II we look at q
rainfall map of India we see a large
parched patch of country enveloping
and Bijapur and parts Of Mask and
and Bijapur andparts Of Mask and
Poona. Here the laborious cultivator
has learned to look for drought and
famine in one year out Of three. and
in a vastly wider area scanty and
insufficient rainfall Is as likely to be
received as a plenteous watering. In
the Deccan there is no question OF
watering a desert and bringing in a
colony Of people to enjoy the results.
The cry for water comes from the
people whose native homes are on
the soil and who year after year SOW
their crops uncertain Of the return,
frequently having to sell their treas
ures and migrate IN search Of labor,
in order to find the means Of sub
sistence.
The soil is rich and capable OF
bearing fine CROPS, and along Its whole
western border runs the mighty but
tress Of the Chats which brings down
an unfailing deluge Of water. sufficient
to irrigate the land many times over.
What more simple than to store water
in the hills and deal It out through
canals upon the thirsty plains? Yet
the difnculties to Be faced are some
Of the hardest in any irrigation prob
lem IN India. The construction Of the
great storage reservoirs In the Chats
proved extremely costly; owing to the

IRRIGATION IN INDIA

conformation Of the country, the align
ment of canals from the best sites for
storage works to the districts requir-
ing water presented complications;
and the fluctuations Of rainfall In the
plains seriously affected prospects OF
regular revenue.
Government obtains returns for its
outlay upon irrigation both directly
by payments made for the water serv-
Ice, and indirectly, by the increased
wealth, and therefore increased tax

people.
1T needed the powerful recon-

sion and the courageous energy OF
Lord Curzon to insure the problem
which the Deccan presents being
boldly attacked and steadily pushed
forward to solution. The commission
found that Of the soil in the Deccan
which might beneficially be irrigated
95 per cent. was without irrigation. In
the secretariat Of the government OF
Bombay now lies a new map Of the
Deccan upon which may be seen the
results Of the labors Of the last seven
years. Every catchment area In the
Chats has been investigated, and every
possible site for reservoir examined
as the commission desired.

And Q Sure One.
The Body Does Not Feel Heat
UnpIeasantIy II II has
Proper Food
Grape-Nuts

People can live IN Q temperature
which feels from ten to twenty degrees
cooler than their neighbors enjoy, by
regulating the diet.
The plan is to avoid meat entirely for
breakfast; use q goodly allowance Of
fruit, either fresh or cooked. Then fol-
low with a saucer containing about four
heaping teaspoonfuls Of Grape-Nuts,,
treated with q little rich cream. Add TO-
this about two slices Of crisp toast with
q meager amount Of butter, and one
cup Of well-made Postum.
BY this selection Of food the bodily
energy Is preserved, while the hot, car
bonaceous foods have been left out.
The result Is a very marked difference
IN the temperature Of the body, and
to this comfortable condition Is added
the certainty Of ease and perfect diges-
ton, for the food being partially pre-
diEested Is quickly assimilated BY the
digestive machinery.
Experience and experiment In food,

MOTH PER|LS TREES
Army Of CaterplIIars Charge Up
on Lawns and Public Parks.
Spraying, Individual Destruction and
Autumnal Precautions Are Recon-
mended by Chicago City Forester
Invasion Last Year.

Chicago.-An invading army Of tus-
sock moths has descended upon the
trees of Chicago and its suburbs. Un-
less strenuous methods are adopted
to check the advance Of the devas-
tating horde the lindens, poplars and
willows of parks, driveways and pri'
vate lawns are in danger Of being dis
mantled Of foliage and ultimately de-
stroyed.
These are not the only members OF
the tree family that the tussock moth
has chosen for its field Of operations.
The horse chestnut, the dogwood and
a score of other shade producers and
ornamental shrubs that are the pride
OF good citizens also are under at
tack.
Park commissioners have declared
war upon the gorgeous caterpillar,
which is the larva of the tussock moth.
City Forester j. H. FROST has issued
q bulletin Of warning and advice. Tree
owners in many parts Of the city have
appealed to the forester for aid and
complain that the tussock caterpil-
lar-which represents the ravaging
stage of the moths developments
running over everything outdoors and
even invading homes.
1t may prove of small consolation
to know that the caterpillar OF the
tussock moth is one of the most beau
tiful that science is familiar with. 1t
has bright red head; a velvety black
back, bordered with rich yellow
stripes; four tufts Of yellow hair
standing upright a little back OF the
head; a pair Of long black plumes'
suggestive of horns, extending for
ward from the head, and a single
plume for tail.
They live upon the green matter OF
leaves and, being gifted with abnor'
NAL appetites, it does not take very
long for a goodly company OF the In
vaders to defoliage tree. They are
practically new corners to Chicago
though last year they became source
of danger to the trees of certain Sec
tions. This year, however. they sud
denly have become the cause OF dis
may on the South, West and North
sides, while particular complaints
have been heard from the West side
There are just three things to DO
according to the city forester:
Spray the foliage with arsenate Of
lead.
Destroy caterpillars by "squashing
them.
Gather cocoons and egg masses II
fall and burn them.
