with the irrigated sections Of this
state. Moreover, irrigation can pro-
duce successful precedent enough for
the most critical when it is realized
that Egypt has irrigated for mat
ter of 1000 years and without which
here would not have been any civili-
cation and probably no people at all
in that country.
India with an average rainfall over
the entire country of about AZ inches
has extensive irrigation projects,
some of which supply Arrears of nor
mally heavy rainfall, but act as a
protection against drouth which oc-
ours only at intervals. This protec-
ton is found to be the best of crop
insurance.
Many more cases could be cited to
show that irrigation, wherever it is
possible to employ it. is the best and
surest means to successful farming
known to man.
There is rapidly growing tendency
among the farmers on the Waller pro-
ject to make preparations to irrigate
as early as it is needed and to disre
gard any and all signs of rain, for
as has been pointed out before, rain
is but tickle and inconstant element
one to be ignored as summer grow
ing egency rather than courted as
crap saver. One outstanding fact of a
summer shower should be born in
mind and that is that although it has
a tendency to freshen up the atmos-
phere, unless it is good big rain it
will destroy the mulch and do more
harm than good to the crops.
In the final analysis irrigation
means intense cultivation, dense popu-
atien and high land values, which are

THE VALUE OF IRRIGATION DUR.
ING SEASONS OF NORMAL
RAINFALL

Ii is perhaps generally recognized
that irrigation is, more or less, sup
Elementary to rainfall, but there is
likely to exist in the minds of those
whose relation to irrigation is not
born of long experience of close ap-
plication, that when the season of
normal rainfall arrives irrigation can
be dispensed with. This may be to a
small degree true, if that rainfall
comes at just exactly the proper time
and was of sufficient amount to sup
ply plant life with the moisture nece-
ssary to produce maximum yields.
However, the fact remains that the
falling of rain upon soils has always
been intermittent in character and
that during fair weather part of the
water supplied by rainfall to the soil
becomes lost by drainage, and that
plant life, in order to develop its high
est efficiency necessitates moisture
applied at such times as it is needed.
1t is indeed a rare country and rare
season when chrop can be matured
with the soil containing at. all times
the optimum amount of moisture.
There is no doubt but that there are
periods when any soil even in the
humid regions would produce larger
Yields if irrigation was available.
We, as Montanans, will find much
difficulty in placing our state in the
humid class, and in view of the fore
going, if irrigation can occupy a USE
full position in humid states. it GER
tainly can claim to be paramount
factor in this state.
There have been conducted in Wis
consin number of experiments with
different kind of crops to determine
the relative yields with and without
irrigation. Wisconsin is considered a
state wherein a sufficient amount of
rainfall occurs to raise crops and
certainty no noe hears about any
extensive irrigation projects being
constructed in that state, yet it has
been conclusively proved that the ir-
rigation of crops in Wisconsin does
produce very marked increase in
the yield. Experiments made over
four-year period resulted in dertim-
lining the fact that although many
sections of the country normally pos
sessing total PRECIPITATION sufficient
to raise crops there existed faulty
distribution in time and quantity suf
ficient to produce retardation of
growth and consequent scanty yield.
Broadly speaking the farmers Of
Montana realize that the soil of the
Treasure state is enormously rich
and will, with sufficient moisture, pro
duce yields far overshadowing the
eastern and more humid states. The
time has arrived when the people of
Montana should realize that the mois-
ture, so necessary to successful farm
ing, can be supplied by irrigation
that the old humid states practice Of
watchful waiting for the patter OF
the rain drops--is an OutwOrn, non
and non-productive pastime. |
The yicissitudes of the novice in ir
rigation are many but when once the
job Is thoroughly learned, when once
the irrigationist learns to construct
and maintain his farm bitches, spread
his water and control his waste to a

BOOKSELLING FOR WOMEN.

One of the best known and most sue
cessful retail seller of books In this coun-
try went on record the other night, in as
speech made before the Women's Nation
al Bookselling Association, as believing
that an era of great expansion for the
small bookshop is at hand, and he added
that he thought women were particularly
suited 10 take large part in this expan-
sion.
'I think that many women who have
worked as librarians would make first class
booksellers, and / think that a good
business woman could not do better than
put her money into a small bookshop in
any Of the thousands of towns throughout
America where there is no such store at
present" He added that there was always
a better chance Of succeeding with
bookstore in a town that had a public
library, than in one where there was no
such institution.
Yet it is possible for clever woman to
so arrange things that her little store will
become an attraction even In a neighbor-
hood that has not yet acquired a taste
for reading. Special programs and lectures
could be arranged for in the shop, there
should be a carefully thought out plan by
which to attract the children, there might
be poster displays that would strike the
popular fancy. The thing to do is to get
people to come to the store in the first
place, by any means that will seem effec-
tive. The actual buying of books would
come later, but it would come.
LET the women get in now" said the
speaker, 'for we are at the beginning of an
important and interesting expansion of
retail book-selling. The more bookstores
there are the better each will do for
book ouying is progressive disease
Once you catch it, you can never shake
it off The field is tremendous, and there
isn't a more interesting profession in the
world"
The line forms at the right-don't t
crowd, please.
