He served in the Con- federate army during the civil wa and was one of the recipients of a medal from the Henry Bum Chap ter. Daughters of the Confederacy. at Fl Dorado. He was one of the most respected and upright citi- zens of the county and as pioneer underwent many of the sardsips of early days with which we do not have to contend. He was a con- sistent member of the Baptist church many years,of his life and passed away leaving with his rela- lives and friends the belief that all is we'll He joined the Masonic fraternity just before or during the civil war and remained a faithful member up to the time of his death; being charter and honor arV member of Strong Lodge.

the final figures. Even then he predicted that the center of popu- lation would follow the sun and would seek it's way westward. He knew what the future would show. His words have been echoed in each ensuing decade.
 In 1900 the center of population was located near Indianapolis. Ind. There was some doubt at first, but the accurate figures show that the center of population was then forty miles south of Indianapolis. and very near Columbus, Ind. In 1890 it was tWenty-six miles fur ther east. In the two previous de- cades it was near Cincinnati. With each decade it has moved little nearer the west, but has always continued to keep very close to the 3oth parallel, the latitude, ap- proximately, of Baltimore and Gin cinnati
 With the development and spread of the population west, the remark able thing is that the center of pop ulation keeps so disproportionately far to the east of the center of the area. It now stops at about one fourth of the entire distance from coast to coast.
 The present census will no doubt show a difference. It will certain lv record a change. The South west has been filling up. The South has gained an impetus and the Northwestern state have been the home-making grounds of the foreign population, seeking new homes in the new world. The point will be no doubt moved far sther West andsfartherSo South.
 On the other hand, there has been considerable emigration to Mexico, and this may affect the re- suit slightly. It will be curious to see just what change will be made.
 There are other points to con- sider. The West has been grow ing. but so has Chicago. and New York has grown past all specula- tion. It is this continual growth of the big cities which holds the center of population so closely to the 18th parallel, and the change may not be so marked after all- Commercial Appeal.

WAYS OF IRRIeATINe BETS
Furrow Method Has Given Without
Doubt Most Satisfactory Results
It's Advantages.

tBy F. w. RoEDING. Irrigation Man
ager. Irrigation Investigations. Of
flee of Experiment Stations)
Environment and physical conditions
have tended largely to determine
methods OF irrigation In various locali-
ties but with the exception of Call
fornia. and to some extent the Kansas
and Idaho fields. the furrow method
is adopted almost universally and the
advantages of this method over others
cannot be doubted.
In California checking and bordering
for sugar-beet irrigation are largely
practised and the furrow method is I'M
known. This may be ascribed to va
rious causes. the principal one being
that fields are largely winter irrigated;
that is. water Is applied before the
crop is planted. The disposal OF the
waste waters from the factories, which
were forbidden an outlet in any OF the
fresh-water streams of the state. due
to their polluting influence. led to
their use on lands near by. When the
manufacturing season opened up 1t
was too late to apply this water to
growing crops, SO 1t was spread over
fields which were vacant or had been
harvested. In order to facilitate and
cheaper the distribution of water
which ran day and night the land was
leveled and checked, and 1t was thus
possible for one man to handle large
area. Large checks are avoided. the
average size being from fraction Of
an acre to " acres. The results from
this practise proved so favorable that
not only is the factory waste water
thus used, but In some sections all the
land devoted to beet culture is winter
irrigated.
Winter irrigating rs also practised
In the fields of Kansas, southeastern
Colorado and Idaho. where late water
can be obtained In the bitches. The
winters throughout this section are
generally very dry. SO that when
spring approaches the soil contains SO
little moisture that 1t cannot be worked
until the heavy spring rains occur.
Evaporation is small during the cold
weather. and II water is applied in the
late fall the land is in shape in early
spring for preparation. The advan-
tages of this practise are obvious. for
If the spring is dry 1t is necessary to
irrigate before preparing the land. and
this always presents the danger OF
rains following an irrigation and pre-
venting the working of the soil until
too late.
The furrow method of irrigation has
given without doubt the most salts
factory results, and 1t is possible to
apply this system to fields having any
configuration of surface from an al
most perfect level to steep slopes. the
quantity of water applied to each fur
row and Its depth being arranged &C
cordingly. Flooding In checks or In
borders. without previous leveling. as
practised In California on account OF
local conditions. has answered Its pur-
pose. but where irrigation is an alb
solute necessity during the growing
period the furrow method will be found
to meet the requirements far better
than any other.
