IRRIGATION FOR AN ORCHARD
Watering of Trees During First Sea-
son After TranspIanting Done
Through Burrows.

Gently sloping land is preferred ir-
rigated orchards A fall of ten to
twenty feet to the mile insures good
drainage and the soil is not eroded
by small streams Of water. On very
fiat slopes the excess water from ir-
rigation has frequently to be remOv-
ed by artificial means and on very
steep slopes the difficulties of apply
ing water are much greater.
Farrow and basis irrigation are the
usual methods employed, but the for
mer is more common. In setting out
land for commercial orchards a sec
ton is usually divided first into ten
acre tracts. The lateral bitches sup
ply the divisions, and individual
owners control the respective tracts.
When the width of driveways is
deducted the length of the tract by
trees is seldom more than 600 feet.
This distance governs the length of
the burrows. The watering OF orch
ard trees during the first season after
transplanting is most commonly done
through two burrows spaced four feet
on each side of the tree. AS the roots
expand more burrows are necessary.

AREA OF CULTIVATION.

The improved farm land increased
only Is per cent i'm area i'm the de-
cade from 1900 to 1910 That lis not
enough to satisfy social and economic
demands or even to keep pace with
our increase i'm population, which was
II per cent.
To get the right perspective one
must differentiate between farming
land and improved farm land. Half
of our territory is in farm land, but
when it is stated that half of all our
improved farm land lies within the
states of Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa,
Missouri, Minnesota, Arkansas, Louis.
lama, Oklahoma and North and South
Dakota the need for a wider area of
cultivated soil may be appreciated.
Allowing land to yield less than III
is capable of yielding is rank waste
and this waste lis one of the vital Gle

der" This plant was supposed ito
have been known to the herders for
the Palriarchs. From Greece it
spread successfully ito Italy and Spain
and finally to Mexico at the time
of its conquest by Spain during the
10Th century. From Mexico it was
soon carried to the South American
countries. 1t was taken from Chill
to Sam Francisco i'm the early fifties.
From there it spread with remarkable
rapidity Through ALL irrigated portion
of the west, until 1T proved to thrive
successfully in many pants of the
country with dry cultivation. 1t will
succeed anywhere in the southwest
where rainfall is sufficient to produce
the cereal crops. The value of legu-
minous crops, both as feed and soil
producers, has been recognized for
ages. This lis a crop that produces
certain returns, and enables the care

agreeable form of farm labor while

MINING EXPERTS.

When Will G. Higgins of the Salt
Lake Mining Review met a mining
expert the other day THAT did not
look good to him, he immediately
rushed to the editorial sanctlm and
relieved himself of the following to
his ever-patient burro:
''Some experts are born, some are
made, and some are turned out by
colleges and universities, but it lis
only the ones who are born that are
any good. The rest of them become
famous for the many good mines they
turn down. 1t was the made-to-order
expert that turned down Tombstone
in the early days. 1t was the same
order of ducklings that passed UP the
Silver King mine i'm Arizona, and the
United Verde i'm the same state. The
same nifty fellows condemned Grip
pie Greek, Tonopah and Goldfield;
and, even now, they are SWarmmg
over the country spelling big min
ing deals and losing big money for
their clients; and it is a wonder, judg-
ing from the black eyes so many mir
ing districts are getting from them
every year, that the industry keeps
UP its lick so we'll, and that so many
new mines are developed into big
producers and dividend payers. o.
course, this statement is as perplc3
ing to you as it is to the man OF
means who really wants to buy {
promising property; but, amy man
with nails i'm his shoes and grease
across his face can readily solve +
riddle. Ask him and he will tell "
that it lis the man who works i'm the
mime, who broke the first ore from
the outcrop, and who knows the form
alton like a book, that lis the req
expert And he will tell you also
that it was an Intelligent miner,
and not an expert, who induced Sen
ator Clark to buy the United Verde;
that lit was the success of leasers
which induced Philadelphia cap
ital to invest i'm Tonopah, and thu,
it was a grizzly prospector who first
commended Goldfield prospects tic
EASTERN capitalists; and that all G.
these mines have made good, nOtwith-
standing the fact that buyers we've

FARM NOTES.

Disk hard land thoroughly before
listing.
Many practices are followed in
saving seed corn.
Alfalfa should be soWn soon after
oats or spring wheat seeding.
Burn all scrap papers, coffee
grounds, egg shells, and sweepings.
Winter onion sets should be plant
ed in the fall to give the best re.
suits.
A good method to use in caring for
seed corn is to hang it up by the use
of strings.
The seed corn should be picked be-
place for drying.
Now is the time that all farm build
ings should be fixed up for winter;
don't wait till snow flies.
Alfalfa can be threshed with an or
binary clover huller the same as 9th
err species of the clover plant.
1t does not pay to buy commercial
fertilizers to supply what we have
wasted by ignorance or carelessness.
If your soil has been shallow plowed
the best thing is to only go a couple
inches deeper each fall until you reach
the desired depth.
1t is said that the production of
farm yard manure in this country now
represents value greater than the
total value of the corn crop.
Brick and cement are about &c
cheap as lumber and last many times
as long. 1t is certainly a waste to
use much wood for floors or stills
1t costs from $25 to $40 an acre to
grow potatoes. In addition to this
cost must be added the depletion OF
the soil which is great in the case of
the potato crop.

In the industrial progress i'm the
grea' southwest the one fact never
to be forgotten is the variety of en-
terprises that invite the investment
Of capital, and the devotion of abil-
ity and attention. The section is rich
Ii all branches of agriculture from
s-Ockraising to the most intensive
form of fruit culture. 1t dis the great
est stOrehouse of raw material i'm
the world, containing larger deposits
Of many of the useful aus well as the
precious metals, and a larger variety
Of ores than any other part of the
universe. The material here for the
construction of edifices and road-mak
ing lies all over the section i'm mex
haustible quantities. The great south
west has more riches to export, and
needs to import less than any other
similar part of the earth. These con.
ditions are the most favorable for
the creation, and preservation of de
velOped, concentrated wealth.
