TO reassure her.

He escorted her to her stateroom
and left her a, the door, remarking its
number and renewing his pledge to
return in ten minutes-more speedily
If possible. He was back in five, with
a long face.
Mrs. Prynne answered instantly his
double knocked summons and, step
ping out quickly, closed the door tight.
In the fraction of a second that it was

of the stateroom warm and bright
with electric light, and sitting there,
Cecile the maid. completely dressed,
wide awake and vigilant. The girl was
French and sullenly handsome after
her kind. O'Rourke got an impression

Why?
From her mistress poise, too-one

armed, on her guard no less than the
maid. But she left him no time to
puzzle over the mystery.
"Well?" she demanded breathlessly.
"'Tis as l thought, Mrs. Prynne A

She flashed him an ironic look.

The Great Southwest.

In the great arid regions, a fall of rain was the most unusual thing in the world. Some places have gone 20 years without drop; though that, in. deed, is the exception. Yet when one of these rare wet spells came, all sorts of unexpected flowers and plants sprung up from the soil. Their seed had lain dormant awaiting the favor. able moment. And they throve most wonderfully. In other sections, where the cattle ranged, other men had dis. covered that the most unpromising looking soil turned out very fertile when irrigated. I remember, myself hunting quail 20 years ago over a dry wash on the plains below a canon Apparently it consisted exclusively of gravel and big stones I should not have thought it would grow horned oads. Two years ago I visited the place. Water had been led to this hubble heap, and on it was one of the finest orange groves I have ever seen Stewart Edward White. in Country Life ill America

insect. It is native of Europe and Is probably found wherever alfalfa is grown, although 1t Is not trouble
 some except in sections where the crop has become an extensive one. It feeds on alfalfa and on six varieties of clover, including red and crimson. It Is probable that the weevil was first brought to this country in hay or straw used in packing crockery or nursery stock. It has no doubt been
 in the Atlantic states for some years, but has not become serious, since al- falfa is not largely grown. It seems that many western fruit orchards are surrounded by fields of alfalfa or sweet clover. The insects crawl into the fruit packages, and are in this way carried about. They also travel in hay or feed, and in this way are distributed. The insect passes the

HOW IRRIGATION WILL HELP
Washington Man Makes Address Be- fore Hamilton Club of Chicago
 on Intensive Farming.

In an address before the Hamilton club of Chicago on irrigation, MT R. Isinger of Spokane. Wash, made the following statements:
 Irrigation invariably means in tensive cultivation, and this in turn means larger crops. Through the use of smaller tracts the country dis tricts become so thickly populated they resemble suburbs of large cities but there is no congestion, nor is there the menace of an underfed, poorly housed population. It means the ideal farm village, lighted by electricity, furnished with domestic water through pipes, good roads, rural mail delivery, telephones, automobiles, trolley lines and other modern con. veniences. It means a union of the social features of town and the health. full ones of the country life and, as some one has well said, "the disap pearance of "lonesomeness," without the worse evil of overcrowding.

winter as an adult beetle-in any well sheltered place. When the alfalfa starts they come out and begin lay ing eggs within few days. These eggs naJcn h seven to sixteen days and the other changes in the life of the insect follow. The insects cut holes or slits in the alfalfa stems, or at the base of the leaves where they lay the eggs, and this cutting and gouging ruins the plant, and in many cases this means a loss of from 40 to 90 per cent. of the crop. The young insects also feed on the plants and do great damage.
 The insects are worse where the al- falfa is left a long time without re blowing and seeding. In Utah, where irrigation is given, the alfalfa fields sometimes stand 30 or more years, and these old fields are badly affect ed. In the east where alfalfa will probably be used as part of a long TO- tation it is not likely that the insect will do great damage. In Utah meas ures for fighting the insect have in mind the plan of preventing it's feed ing when it first comes through win ter and then tearing up the soil light ly with heavy dust to destroy the in-

sects and drive them away. Thus the field may be worked lightly with the disk harrow and then watered al once to rush the alfalfa into growth In several cases close pasturing and dragging has proved helpful. Horses or sheep were turned in to keep the alfalfa eaten close. During this pas turing the field was worked at least once a week with brush drag or 8 sweeper. A picture of the brush drag is shown. This is made by laying the butts of short brush five or six feet long on plank 12 or IA feet long with other rows of brush shingled or the whole thing weighted down by a tooth harrow with the teeth down directly on the brush drag. This drag knocks off many weevils and kills them, while the thick dust suffocates more.
