BIG MISTAKE IN IRRIGATION
Common Error In Watering Potatoes
10 to Turn . Largo Head In

The most common mistake made in
the irrigation Of potatoes 10 to turn
a large head in each furrow, permit It
to flow rapidly to the bottom Of the
rows and then shut 1t of. This way
Of applying the water vets only the
surface layer and II It 10 now followed

days Of sunshine will rob the soil Of

piled and seal over the surface with
q hard crust In this condition the
crops soon begin to suffer and the
unskilled farmer fancies that the
only remedy lies In applying more
water. A better plan II to turn only
a small amount Of water into q deep
furrow and permit It to run without
stopping for hours or even for a day
or night. In this way the top layer

CONQUEST OF GREAT DESERT
Time, Patience and Perseverance, Re-
quired to Establish Homes In
Many Of New Districts.

In every attempt to convert desert
land into fruitful fields there is a
transition period which tries mems
souls to the utmost. The warning cry
is often given not to allow families to
attempt to establish homes in the des.
ert lest they perish. It Is true a new
irrigated district may not be a des-
ert. but 1t Is closely akin to it and it
requires time. patience and self-denial
to establish homes in such places.
There Is SO much to be done with SO
little help and money that the bravest
hearts often quail before the task 10
completed. 1t was comparatively easy
for our forefathers to establish homeA
in the heavily wooded states of the
Atlantic seaboard, and still easier for
those who first settled on the prairie
land of the Mississippi valley. writes
s. Fortier in the Field and Farm.
These men had to encounter dangers
and hardships. but the winning Of
their livelihood from the soil was cas-
Ter than the task which confronts for
the first year or two the settler on .
desert farm.
The most profitable crops on an ir-
rigated farm require time to mature.
The land for vineyards for example
must be first thoroughly prepared be-
fore the plants are set in the ground,
then from two to three years must
elapse before any returns can be ex-
pected. Meanwhile. the expenses Of
caring for the vineyard have to be
met. The same Is true Of all decidu-
Gus orchards with the difference that
a longer period intervenes between
the time Of planting and profitable re-
turns. The staple crop of the west
Is alfalfa, but he who expects heavy
yield the first season after planting It
Is too often doomed to disappoint-
ment.
The new settler with limited means
has to confne his efforts during the
first season to the seeding Of small
patches Of grain and the planting Of
vegetables. By degrees he can work
into the more profitable crops. such
as alfalfa, orchards and sugar beets.
but at first he must be content with
much smaller returns. This 10 the
transition period which marks tho
passing Of the desert conditions and

time when a new settler needs help

unusually high while the returns from
the soil are correspondingly small.

a pistol at her and pulled the trigger.
The bullet pierced her left eye and pen
etrated the brain.
Boatwright, the only witness, says he
did IL for a Joke. and did not know the
weapon was loaded. He says he went
for a physician at once. However, when
the doctors and the Coroner arrived
quickly the body was quite cold and had
been laid on the bed. The hair was
smoothed. the limbs were Strengthened
and the slayer even had elected the
used shell from his pistol ..
When the body was being inspected he
is said to have sat down and calmly re
