such formations are the most favor
able but because no other method will
do as well.
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 II Is usu-
ally feasible to obtain a 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 undolng
much of the previous seasons work.
slopes Are Essential
A smooth, regular surface having
slope in one direction of about 2.5
inches to the hundred feet may be re.
garded as Ideal for the border method
of Irrigation. II 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 71a 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
a cubic foot second or from 20 to
20 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 II is always pos
slble to divide head between two or
more compartments.
Full details of the construction ana
operation of borders are contained In

Farmers Bulletin i243, rThe BOrter
Method of IrrigaIon,S 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 lrri-
gated into a series of strips, lands, or
beds, as they are variously termed, by
low, fat levees extending usually In
the direction Of the steepest slope.
Sufficient water is turned into the up
per end Of each strip and allowed to
move down the slope In a thin sheet,
molstening 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 ls also possible
to irrigate potatoes, sugar beets and
other rOwed and cultivated crops By
making a slight change In the borders,
so that the latitude as to rotation is
rather wide.

MONUMENT ERECTED
On First Kentucky Home Which Is
Near Barbourville

History was in the making when
the first house was built In Ken
tueky and Knox County has the dis
tinction OF being the site of the first
house built. not only, In Kentucky,

In the year 1850 Doctor Thomas
Walker, of Virginia, having come
thru Cumberland Gap arrived in
what is now known as Knox County
but which at that time was wide
stretch Of tree clad hills and grass
covered valleys. Moved probably by
an instinct that the beautiful spot
should be a place of homes, Dr..
Walker, Ambrose Powell, Coulby
Chew, Harry Lawless and John
Laws built cabin OF fresh hewn
logs which stood for many years as
a historical landmark.
Mr. George Owens, of the freight
department of the l. .& N. Railroad
who has a liking for history, has
delved deeply into the facts pertain
ing to the building of this first home
in the wilderness. Moreover, he is
supported by ample evidence from
other sources that this house was
the vanguard of the thousands of
homes that dot the Commonwealth
of Kentucky, and also that II
was the original home first built on
this side of the Alleghenies.
Mr.. Owens has personally had a
