The Pumping System of Irriga-
ton Growing In Popularity

~ HE following is taken from the
census report of 1910: The
number of wells pumped for ir-
rigation is 1854, and number of all
pumping pl1nts 1881. The engine ca
pacity of pumping plants is 2O7,241
horsepower. The acreage irrigated
with pumped water e 47S,2sS acres"
Since the discovery a few years ago
that water could be pumped success
fully for irriga ton, and with the per-
centrifugal pump, there has been
rapid development of this system OF
irrigation
Use Less Water Than Formerly.
Not only has the improvement OF
pumping machinery FASTENED this de-
velOpment, but farmers and irrigators
have learned to raise crops with less
water than formerly. This fact is ad-
verted to in the following language on
page 149 of the 1910 Yearbook of the
department of agriculture:
In former days water for irrigation
purposes was both plentiful and cheap
and in attempting to use IL much was
wasted. In many parts of the west, the
old wasteful methods still prevail, al
though the value of water has in
creased many fold When irrigatorS
in the San Joaquin valley In Cali
fOrnia first began to apply water on
what had been dryfarmed grain lands,
they frequently used over nine feet
Now about one third of this amount
is considered ample. The water users
of Greeley and neiShboring districts IN
Colorado used to think their crops
would burn up unless they had a min
er's inch of water to the acre. Now
they are raising crops on the same
ground that are worth about four
times as much with one fourth of
the water formerly used They are
learning that cultivation takes the

NEGLECT THE CARE OF YOUR SCALP
AND YOUR HAIR WILL BECOME A DISGRACE

The hair is more exposed and hence
more liable to accumulate dust and dirt
than any other portion OF the body.
In spite Of this the hair receives. as
a rule, the least attention and no real
EFFORT is made to keep it healthy.
If the dandruff germ is allowed to
work unmolested and the scalp becomes
crusted with dirt accommodations one
may expect the hair to die and fall out
There Is no cause for surprise in this
phenomenon; it is natural and happens
IN every instance where the care OF the
hair and scalp is overlooked.
The one sure remedy which prevents
the loss of hair and permits a healthy
luXuriant growth is found in NeWbro's
Herpicide.

CAPITAL NOTES
Hotel Accommodation for Leg.
isiators and
Notes.

Pierre, Dec. 20.-Pierie hotels,
though they offer large accommodation
for the incoming legislature, report
that almost every room is engaged for
the two months of the Legislative SEES
sion. The st. Charles, which is a
new and very large hotel, will be
filled to overlooking, as also the Locke
and the Riverview, besides the minor
hotels. Private families house a good
many session members, who prefer the
quiet to the hustle of the hotels.
There are a number of private room
ing clubs, but they all report many ap-
plications for rooms and board. 1t ap.
pears that an unusually large number of
women will accompany their husbands
and fathers to the capital city during
the 1918 session to ''see the wheels go
round"
The legislative reference department
is receiving many inquiries from legis-
lators about the proposition OF allow
ing travelling men to vote while away
from their homes. 1t is reported that
petitions are being circulated and
freely signed at hotels in relation to
the matter and it is likely some such
legislation will be enacted this winter.
An examination of the statutes of
other states does net reveal this privil-
ege as existing elsewhere in the United
States, though an extended search has
not heen made. Perhaps South Dakota
solons will start something new.
