the plants, will be highly econ
omical of the water supplied;
third, which will automatically
supply the quantity of water be-
ing used as it is used, thus saving
large quantities of unused water
at present wasted in the usual
irrigation systems; fourth, to pro-
vide means for tempering the
temperature of the water thus
supplied, thereby saving the roots
of the plants from shock with
cold water; and fifth, in general
to provide system which will
conserve the soil and greatly in
crease the productivity thereof
with but moderate first. cost and
substantially no upkeep cost.
It is a well known fact that
irrigation, as generally practiced.
is exceedingly wasteful of water
and cannot be successfully carried
out without a large supply of
water and a large annual outlay
for the upkeep of the canals and
laterals SO that it is impractical
for individual farmers to have
their own irrigation systems. The
waste of this water. is partly due
to the evaporation of the water
running in the open canals and
also in soaking the land with
much more water than the plants
can absorb, and also in soaking
an appreciate area of implanted
soil, and often results in washing
away much of the valuable ele-
ments of the soil.
In my improved system I take
care of the above causes of waste
first by freeing the water to the
soil only in the vicinity of the
plant from which it can only
pass by capillary attraction.
Irrigating by capillary attrac-
ton is most wonderful for Vege-
table Gardens, Orchards, Vine
yards, Flower Gardens, Parks,
Cemeteries, North, South, East or
West, Mountains, Valleys or Hills
Desert Lands the best of all.

A VERY UNUSUAL GARDEN
Receiving $3.50 from 1/12 OF
an acre or at the rate of $16,560
per acre. This garden test was
made in city of Tacoma, Wash.
in the year 1914. The land was
measured by several prominent
business men of Tacoma to be
1/12 of an acre. The vegetables

After 38 years of experimental
work leading up to this great in

INTERESTING NEWS
FROM HERE AND THERE

One of the most dramatic situa-
tons of the recent break through
of the American lines by Won Run
stedt's forces occurred when the
Nazis surrounded the 101st Air
borne Division at BaStogne and
delivered surrender ultimatum.
The situation was desperate and
there appeared no hope for the
Americans. The officer in charge,
Brig. Gen. A. C. MauAuliffe sent
back the genuinely American and
devastating derisive reply, Nuts. I"

with military procedure and also
violated the rules of the best

it has not been necessary to ration
