Can you imagine system OF irri-
eating bitches carrying water in large
quantities to, the wheat fields in that
section Of country lying just north of
the base line in Morrow county?
Perhaps a visit to the w. D. New
lon farm next Sunday will convince
you that such a thing is being done,
if you ever thought it impossible, to
say the least impracticable. By dint
of keeping everlastingly at it, Mr..
Newton was able to demonstrate fin
ally that artesian water could be Sc
cured in the banana belt' of Nor
row county. The first flow was struck
in October, 1915. Since that time,
Mr.. Newton has been devoting his en-
ergies to putting the water to prac-
tical use.
Although the flow from the we'll
was good, it did not come fast en-
ough to suit energetic Newton, so he
has installed pump which has cap
acity of 1850 gallons per minute, al
though it has been speeded up in trial
tests to pump 1900 gallons. A series
Of bitches have been constructed,
which now carry the water to a large
wheat field north and west of the
well. At the present time the water
will irrigate $50 acres of the wheat
land, besides taking care of large
area on the bottom in and near the
farm house.
The Newton home, which was for
merly owned by R. B. Rice before he
sold to the Newlons for $4,000, was
not unlike many of the other farms
in that particular section, but since
the water has been found, demon
stration has been made of what water
will do if applied properly. Today
the Newton farm is veritable "oas-
is in the desert" Prices on all land
in that section have jumped in the
last two years. since 1t has been prov
en- in a most practical way what can
be done by practical farmers using
practical methods. And the discov-
cry of artesian well water will be a
boon to more rapid development in
the future. Newton is firmly of the
opinion that he has tapped" the pac-
ific ocean. So far as quantity goes,
that might be true, but anyone who
has tasted the artesian flow, which
comes spouting from the lower re-

all the disappointments and SORROWS
of life, nature has been very kind in

CHICKENS REQUIRE
four KINDS OF FEED
Must Have Greens, Grit, Grubs AMI
Grains, or Substitutes.

Some one has well said that chick
ems need four kinds of feeds: greens,
grit, grubs and grains. Since these
four classes of feeds all begin with the
letter G, they should be easy to re-
member. Too many people make the
mistake of feeding their chickens from
only one or two fthese groups. When
ever the feeds from any one of these
groups Is lacking, the chickens are
not being fed a ration that is properly
balanced.
Greens. The generous supply of sue
culent grasses, sprouting seeds, and
other tender vegetation which is al
ways accessible to the wild bird must
be replaced with the chicken which is
in confinement by substituting young
grass clippings, sprouted oats, or
waste from the garden such as lettuce
or cabbage leaves.
Grits. This means sharp. hard sub
stances with which chicks grind tho
feeds they eat. Never forget that the
chicken Is not provided with teeth,
but that it has to grind all food which
it eats by the use Of sharp gravel
stones in it's gizzard. II it is allowed
to 60 without a sufficient supply of
this sharp, gritty material, the fool
will not be properly ground or d.
gested.
Grubs. The wild bird eats lots of
bugs, insects and grubs OF various
kinds. This diet of animal food is
very necessary to the chicken which
is expected to lay many eggs and to
stay in good health. On our farms
many Of the chickens can obtain near
ly enough Of this kind Of food during
the spring and summer months, but
when fall-and winter eggs are wanted
It becomes advisable and economical
to feed additional animal food
Grains. This Is the class of feeds
which corresponds to the wild seeds
eaten by birds, and is the class when
IL most commonly fed to chickens
Corn is the most common poultry feed
In Louisiana.
Water. While not classed as food
water Ia just as important, for with
out it the food will not be properly
digested. Do not neglect this.-A. F
