HOPYARD IRRIGATION PAYS
Sloper Brothers Conduct Experiment
on Fifty Acres Near Independence.

C. O. Sloper, of near Independence,
was in Dallas Monday and had with
him sample of the practical results
of irrigation in the Willamette Val
lev. II consisted of two hills Of po-
tatoes dug at random in an acre and
one-half patch. There were 80 spuds
in the lot and their combined weight
was fourteen and three-fourths
pounds. The variety was the Bur
bank, and they were exceptionally
smooth and of nice size.
The potatoes were raised on the
Sloper Brothers farm six miles south
east of Independence, where c. 0.
Sloper and w. A. Sloper own and
manage 1877 acres. Believing that If
rigation would pay in the Willamette
valley as we'll as elsewhere, they be-
gan this spring to irrigate their 90
acre hopyard and their field OF pota-
toes, and although they did not get
started soon enough, the result has
been entirely satisfactory, and they
are preparing to use irrigation on
much larger scale next year.
All the water used was supplied
from drilled wells. They have we'll
drilling outfit and with it they sunk
two six-inch wells to a depth of 30
feet. From these two the water was
pumped into the head bitches by a
centrifugal pump having four-inch
outlet. Although it was rated at only
500 gallons per minute it was speeded
up to 900 in one well, where it was
kept going IL hours a day for seven
DAYS. AT the other well the pump
was run at the rate of 600 gallons for
day and half. The power was
supplied by a 12-horsepower traction
engine. For next seasons run they
intend to use an eight-horsepower
gasoline engine, mounted with the
pump ON trucks so that it can be
moved from one well to another.
The number Of wells required de-
pends on the lay Of the land, and in
order to obtain a better gravity SER
vice Sloper Brothers will drill two
more wells on their farm.
The water is led from the head
ditch along burrows run between each
row Of hops. Irrigation was not
commenced early enough this year
not until about the twentieth Of July,
whereas it should have been started
about a month sooner.
The difference between the irrigated
hops and those without water is
readily apparent. As an experiment
some hills were watered in June, and
they are loaded with hops clear to the
ends of the arms.
The progress of the irrigation trials
on the Sloper farm has been watched
with great interest by the farmers Of
that and nearby neighborhoods, and
number who have Investigated are
planning to install systems on their
own farms next spring.

The Connellsvil1e (Pa.) Courier. the
recognized journal of the coke industry
which is published in the heart of he
coke regions believes that the firing of
the Gary coke ovens will curtail ship
ments of Conne1lsvfl1e coke to western
steel plants with the resultant placing
of orders with the Gary ovens. In its
weekly coke trade review the Courier
prints In part:
Gary Must he Reckoned With.
Another factor which probably en-
tiers into the situation is the compile
ton and firing up at least in part of
the first bank of $50 by-product ovens
at Gary, Ind. These ovens are cap
able of producing $4,000 tons OF coke
per week running seven days. equiv
alent to the product of $500 beehive
ovens running six days. The Steel
Corporation has 1900 beehive ovens at
Gary, w. Va, which our reports say
are making 5000 tons of coke per
week. This coke is shipped to Gary,
Ind. The West Virginia mines are also
reported to be shipping 10000 tons OF
coal per week to the by-product ovens
in Indiana indicating a production OF
about 10000 tons of coke in the by
product plant or less imam half its ca
pacity. The by-product plant at Gary
Ind, therefore, must be reckoned with
| in considering Connellsville coke trade

What Happened to George!

If you happened to meet Attorney
George Manlove on the street today
and he didn't happen to notice you; if
you saw big smile on his face and
heard him saying foolish things to
himself; If you saw him looking in the
windows of the five and ten-cent stores
at the toys. don't feel the least Bit
alarmed. He's perfectly all right
Don't pay any attention to him be-
cause he will be all right in a few
days. Just leave him alone and may
be If he can come down to earth again
he'll let you in on the secret.
There's a reason for all things and
the cause of Mr.. ManIoves perturbed
frame of mind lies in a downy cradle
in the Manlove residence on Madison
street, and reports from the attend
ing nurses say that all efforts to stop
the youngster from finishing his clos
ing argument are without avail.
George II. is real live healthy boy
and he tips the scales at exactly nine
pounds and two ounces. He arrived in
Gary at / o'clock last night, and to-
