do this year? The snow fall has
been approximately normal or above
normal i'll all the watersheds of the
state, except that of the Arkansas riv-

generally plenty of moisture in the
non-irrigated districts, and conditions

Whore Money 10 Not Available to Drain
All Of Land, Start Where Profits

for Size Of Tile.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
A good Drainage system on fertile
farm that is not naturally well drained
is permanent Improvement which
continues to pay dividends in the form
Of increased crop production. (City'
gardens and lawns frequently need
drainage, and if properly tiled,
would be greatly imprSved.) Tile.
drains usually give more thorough
drainage than open bitches. They
occupy no land surface and do not in
terfere with farming operations. II.
properly constructed they require al
most no expenditure for maintenance.
Economic Arrangement.
The most economic arrangement of
the drainage system is one that per-
mits the use of long laterals and re-
quires the shortest total length Of
main drains. No hard and fast rule
can be given for determining the size
of the tile to be used. Drains should
be large enough to remove the sur
plus water before the crops are in
yureu. II IL DetteT 10 use sizes TOO
large than too small, and no tile less
than four inches In diameter should
be used. On common dark silt loans
where the average rainfall is approx
mately 86 inches. eight-inch tile having
fall of two inches to 100 feet will
provide outlet drainage for 40 acres;
seven-inch tile for 80 acres, six-inch
tile for 10 acres and four-inch tile for
six acres.
The proper depth for drain tiles de-
pends upon the soil and varies from
two to four feet. In heavy silt loans
the depth should be from two to three
feet. In this case the laterals should
be placed from 30 to 40 feet apart In
open soils that give up water readily,
and where the drains are three to four
feet deep, the laterals may be from 80
to $50 feet apart. In the more porous
soils the space may be even greater.
Secure Proper Fall.
The drainage should have fall of
not less than one inch to 100 feet II
possible and greater fall than this is
very desirable. Where little fall is OBJ
tained. particular care must be taken
to secure proper grade. The drain
age ditch should be started at the out
let and Its course should follow line

Keep the ditch clean cut and as
straight as possible. II the direction
IL chenged it should be done by easy
curves. Sharp turns must be avoided.
Laying the tile. like digging the
ditch, should begin at the outlet.
Under ordinary conditions tile should
be laid and blinded or printed every
day after the ditch is made. Any de-
lay In laying may cause injury to the
ditch by rain or by particles falling
into 1t. II the banks are likely to
cave the tile should be laid as fast as
the ditch is completed. The smalle,

After the tile are laid and inspected

purpose is to hold the tile in position

10000 ACRES IRRIGATED

Irrigated farm land in Colorado now
totals 2,277,741 acres, according to
statistics compiled by the Colorado

from reports turned in by county as
SCISSORS throughout the state The aver
age value of good plow lands in the
state is placed at $145 an acre, with
other classes of irrigated land valued
as follows. Pasture land, $50 an acre;
meadows, $2s; poor plow lands, so:
all plow lands, not including meadows
or pastures, $l25; improved lands, $40
unimproved lands, $40.

SEASoNINGS AND SAUCES
IN COOKING VEGETABLES

Much of the excellence of well-cook-
ed vegetables depends upon the proper
use of seasonings and sauces. The sea
soning selected should undoubtedly be
suitable for the dish, but so much de-
pends upon custom that only general
suggestions can be made. The Ital-
ianS and some other races are much
fonder of garlic than Americans, the
Germans of summer savory or ''bohn-
enkraut in string beans, and the
English of mint with peas. Each
housewife must select the seasonings
which her family prefers and endeavor
to use them i'll such a way that the
special flavors may be most satlsfac-
torily brought out.
When soup, sauce, or vegetable is
to be Favored with an herb or anoth-
er vegetable the flavor should lie
added toward the end of the cooking
period. Since the oils and other
bodies which give seasoning vegetables
and herbs their flavor are volatile
they are either driven of by longcon-
tinued cooking or rendered much less
delicate in flavor. Herbs that are to
be left in the dish or served with the
dish must be added just before the
food is served. The herbs generally
served with the dish are chervil, pars.
ley, tarragon and chives.
Burnet, thyme, summer savory, sage,
and sweet basil are cooked with the
dish short time, not over 20 minutes
and are then removed.
The little bunch of mixed herbs, the
''bouquet garni,' so often referred 10
in cook books, is made with two
branches OF parsley, sprig each of
thyme and summer savory, small
leaf of sage, and a small bay leaf, all
tied together. This is cooked with the
dish from 10 to 20 minutes, then re.
mivcd. The bay leaves must be pur.
chased at the grocers. Turnips, car.
rots, parsnips, celery, leeks, cibol, on
ions, etc, when used just as flavorers,
should be tied in bunch and cooked
20 or 30 minutes in the dish and then
be removed.
When shallot and garlic are use
they should never be cut, but separa-
ted into Gloves One Glove will rc
enough for small quantity of soup
saucr, or ragout Never fry shallot OF
garlic. Cook in the dish to be flavor
ed about 10 minutes then remove.

MAKES COTTON AND LINEN
GARMENTS LAST LONGER

Garments even of the best quality,
design, and workmanship will soon be-
come shabby through lack of care. On
the other hand, those that may have
cost only half as much may be kept
trim and fresh for a considerable
length of time through painstaking
care.
Cotton and linen garments, espec-
worn in hot weather, should be care.
fully aired and frequently washed, be-
cause they absorb oil and perspiration
from the body. If dresses, waists and
other outer garments are carefully
placed on hangers as they are being
aired, many wrinkles will disappear.
Sponging and pressing will in many
cases freshen cotton and wooden fab
rics, but too frequent pressing of part
ly soilcd white washable garments will
tend to yellow them and colOred ones
may be permanently discolored in this
way. In any case the material should
be evenly dampcned, and the iron must
be perfectly clean and free from rust,
for rusty iron will cause mmsightly
stains. Sponging with thin starch or
gum arabic water will make some fab
RIGS look like new. Success lies in hav-
ing the garment evenly da'mpcncd 80
that no watcr-rings are formed or an
uneven stiffness produced.
Cotton and linen suits can be press
ed and laundcrcd at home. Dust @an
generally be shaken from them, Cor
they do not hold it as wool and sill,
do. Brushing tends to rub the dirt in
to cotton and linen fibers. Heavy cot
ton and linen suitings should be press.
ed on the wrong side or with . thin
cloth spread over them. This makcs
them look more like new and prevents
shine on seams and marks of the iron.
Embroidered garments should bs
pressed face down ON an old bath
towel or thick soft pad.
