Applying Water to Land by Method
That Could BE More Generally
Adopted in Eastern Farming Sections.

such formations are the most favor

do as we'll
The cost of preparing land for the
border method is low as compared
with that required for most other
methods if the physical conditions are
favorable. At the same time it is usu-
ally feasible to obtain fair crop at
small cost by the use of temporary
borders, and after the crop is harvest
ed, the making of permanent borders
may be. undertaken without undoing
much of the previous seasons work.
Slopes Are Essential.
smooth, regular surface having a
slope in one direction of about %
inches to the hundred feet may be re-
garded as ideal for the border method
of irrigation. 1t is possible to make
borders on slopes one inch or less to
the hundred feet and on sleeper slopes
up to 2 feet and more per hundred.
Borders have been used on slopes as
great as TN feet to the hundred feet,
but extra care must then be taken to
prevent soil and crop erosion.
The amount of water that can be
turned into the strip depends on the
size of each strip, its slope, and other
conditions. In narrow, short strips
the head used may be reduced to half
cubic foot a second or from 20 to
25 miners inches, and in wide, long
strips 10 cubic feet second may be
none too large. A large volume of
water cannot be handled successfully
on steep slopes, but it Is always pos
sible to divide head between two or
more compartments.
Null details of the construction and
etation of borders are contained in
ebulletin, copies of which may be

IRRIGATION NOW
OF BIG Benefit
Border Method Followed in West
Is Well Adapted to a
Variety of Soils.
WATER TURNED INTo STRIPS
Not Profitable to Prepare Field for One
crop-AIfaIfa, Glover and Other
Forage Crops Are Among
Those Favored.

The border method of irrigation, fol-
lowed in many parts of the western
states, Is well adapted to a variety of
soils and crops and is growing rapidly
in public favor. AS described in
Farmers Bulletin 1243, 1.-The Border
Method of Irrigation" prepared by
Samuel Fortier and now issued by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, the method consists essentially
in the division of the field to be irri-
gated into series of strips, lands, or
beds, as they are variously termed, by
low, fiat levees extending usually in
the direction of the steepest slope.
Sufficient water is turned into the up
move down the slope in thin sheet,
moistening the soil to a given depth
as 1t advances toward the lower end.
Crops Suited for Irrigation.
1t seldom pays, 1t Is said, to prepare
a field for the border method for one
crop. The method is well adapted to
the irrigation of alfalfa, clover and
other forage crops, as well as all
grains, and the forage crops may be
rotated with the grains without mod
flying the method. 1t is also possible
to irrigate potatoes, sugar beets and
other rowed and cultivated crops by
making slight change in the borders.
SO that the latitude as to rotation is
rather wide.
The most favorable soil for borders
is a free-working loan several feet
deep, underlain by more or less i'm
pervious subsoil. AS the sheet of wa
ter flows down each strip, the pervious
top soil is readily moistened and the
heavier soil beneath prevents the
waste of water by deep percolatlon.
Borders are also very generally used
where the subsoil as well as the top
layer of soil is porous. not because

RIGHT CULTURE OF CABBAGE
Rich Soil Encourages Fast Growth,
Large and Solid Heads-chi-
nese Variety Differs.

The history of the development of
the cabbage gives the key to its cul-
ture. The richer the soil and the
faster it is kept growing, the larger
and solder the heads. 1t must be
grown fast to head fast. If through
lack of fertility or drought its growth
is checked, there is either no real head
or loose, very inferior one, the whole
strength of the plant going to develop
such leaves as it had produced before
the check. The Chinese cabbage is an
entirely different species from the COM

OBJECT LESSON FOR YOUTH
Younester Considered He
"Had No Chance"

Wealth is variously estimated in
different parts of the country.
Jimmie Glover had grown to man
hood in one of the most inaccessible
little country villages imaginable.
Wearying at last at the monotony
of his life, he grew eager to leave the
fields and lanes of his childhood.
His father was quiet old man of
much local renown and stoutly op-
posed to his sons desire to go to the
great and wicked cities.
But what chance has young fei-
low got to get on in little place like
this, I'd like to know?' gloomily de-
manded Jimmie.
what chance?' ejaculated his fa
ther "Why, just look at me, my son.
When | first came here l didn't have
nothing,-not nothing! And just look

With canned soups or home canned
soups or broths one may make a good
dish for the beginning of meal, then
with jar of salad dressing some sort
of a salad is usually easy to prepare.
If one has time berry pie makes a
fine dessert; or a Shortcake, using
canned fruit, is always favorite. The
foods used will depend, of course, upon
the taste of the family, and if one is
to be prepared the canned fned. what
ever it is, should be replaced at the
first opportunity.
A few cans of fish, such as salmon
and tuna, sardines and clans, if liked.
some Jars of sliced dried beef, and
bacon, peanut butter, cans of corn and
tomatoes, with bottle of good salad

DETERMINING SEX OF DUCKS
Hen Always ouaels in Coarse Voice,
While Drake Will Emit
Sibilant Sound.

Not every one; knows how to tell
the sex Of ducks, but it is easy. The
hen duck always quacks in coarse
voice; the drake never quacks, but
emits a sibilant sound, described by
one woman as being ''like an old man
with brownkeeters." It has "quack"
sound, but is high-pitched and not 80
loud as the raucous quacking Of the
hen ducks.

Insurance and Loan Company-now (since I836)
THE FARMERS LOAN AND TRUST COMPANY;
the change in rejecting the development of the
institutions activities with the growing needs of the
munity it accommodates.
The charter stpulates that the Company founded or

In April of the year, the charter extended
in scope and the Company was empowered "to receive

This the earliest bestowa in the United States of
such powers upon any corporation.
1t is believed to be the first in the world Nothing
more can be said for company today than
said in the first announcement of the Company
hundred years ago.
"The public will readily perceive that the advantages
