STATE WILL IRRIGATE.
Forty Acres of Land of Topeka Indus
trial School, the Plan.

The state will this year irrigate 40
acres at the Boys Industrial school,
north Of Topeka, according to an
nouncement made today by Major w.
l.. Gronjaw) Brown, chairman of the
state penal board. With the aid OF ir-
rigation, Brown believes that the forty
acre tract at the industrial school will
this year produce sufficient garden
truck to meet the demands OF several
of the big state institutions.
An experiment well is now being
sunk on the industrial school farm. 1t
is believed that a strong underflOW
will be encountered at a depth OF
about So feet and that this underflow
will be sufficient to meet the water
demands of the 40 acre tract and
make that portion of the school farm
an ideal garden spot. Not only will
the states irrigation project prove Of
much Importance to the state. but the
experiment will be watched with keen
interests by scores Of truck farmers
in Shawnee county who will adopt the
irrigation project as soon as practical
use of the bitches on the school farm
is demonstrated.
The work of installing the irrigation
plant will be done by inmates and
regular employees of the industrial
school and the total expense to the
state for placing the 80 acres under
irrigation will not exceed $500, Brown
says. Brown expects the plant to be

in thorough working order in a few
weeks.
with the successful use of irriga-
ton on the industrial school farm. the
state will save hundreds of dollars an
nually in the purchase of garden
trucks" said Brown. "Had the plant
been in use last summer it would have
paid FOR itself several times over. Out
at the Hutchinson state reformatory,
we have 80 acres under irrigation and
will make the Hutchinson Institution
a demonstration farm for the raising
OF small garden trucks. The Hutchin-
son and Topeka truck farms will, in
my judgment, raise enough garden
truck to supply the demands Of all of
the state institutions"
Last year the Topeka Industrial
school canning factory supplied their
own demands for canned tomatoes and
sold several hundred dollars worth Of
their output to other state institutions
This same method will be followed in
the handling Of garden truck The in
stitution will not sell it's output to the
public, but will send its overproduc-
ton to other institutions and the state
will be able to save several hundred
dollars annually paid to local truck
gardeners.
Major Brown, who Is responsible for
the location of the irrigation plant at
the Topeka industrial school, is an ir-
rigatiOn booster and believes that with
the strong Kaw river underflOW, an
ample water supply will be provided
for truck gardening and small farm
ing pursuits.

Forest Fire Threatens
Houses in Two BorOughs;
Three Other Blazes Raging

A forest fire that threatened to do
considerable damage started about
noon yesterday in what is known as
the Buffalo swamp" 1t contains
about 500 acres of woodland and is
located In the boroughs of Caldwell,
Essex Fells and Verona. 1t was close
to several large houses in Essex Fe1ls
on the western side and to severa
houses in Verona on the eastern
side. An alarm was turned in to the
fire departments Of Verona and Els
sex Fells, but on arrival of the fire.
men 1t was seen that nothing could
be done, as there was no water in
that section. The men succeeded in
keeping 1t away from the houses.
The Essex FEELS department was also
called on about 9 o'clock last night,
but could do nothing.
Although the property is known as
swamp 1t Is very dry. The fire
spread with great rapidity owing to
the thick underbrush, in many cases
reaching up into large trees. During
the night the reflection cou d be seen
for great distance, and in the east
ern section of Caldwell the smoke
was very thick and hung close to the
ground.
Three other forest fires are burning
ip western Essex county, the largest
being in what is known as the Big
Piece Meadows. This fire has been
burning for nearly a week and has
covered an area of several hundred
acres. The other fires are destroying
the meadows and woods near Han
over and North Caldwell.
