II. 1. Taylor Installs a I"erfect System
of Irrigation on a Small Scale.
H. J. Taylor is building two cement
lined reservoirs on his farm, two miles
east of Fulton. Each will be nine
feet deep and 12 feet square, and
they will be fed by windmills. In
the event of the windmills not prov
ing of sufficient capacity, he will sub
stitute a gasoline engine later.
.These reservoirs will distribute
water through 2800 feet of one and
one-fourth Inch piping, and the water
will be used to Irrigate, at first a
lawn and garden, and later as much
othe. ground as the capacity of the
wells will allow.
The reservoirs will be covered with
one building, which Mr. Taylor holds
to be the most economical method
of keeping out dust, as It will also
afford a shelter for many other things
besides the reservoirs, whereas the
usual rounded top for a reservoir
costs considerable and cannot be util
ized for anything lese.
Mr, Taylor last spring sowed li
acres to dry land alfalfa, and the re
suits were very encouraging. He
clipped it once to secure uniformity
and afterward cut for hay an unusu
ally large amount for the first year.
The stand was very heavy for the first
year and the entire growth is thrifty.
Mr. Taylor will next Monday finish
sowing 280 acres of winter wheat.
The soil ln that neighborhood Is in
fine condition for wheat sowing.

rigation, too." The result is that he
has located land In a district suppos
ed to not need irrigation. He Is en
thusiastic about the claims of the Ma
dras district and mentions that land
for the first time broken a year ago,
this year yielded for the first crop
from 15 to 30 bushels of wheat per
acre.

Too Dry to Plant Wheat With Assur
ances of ProM'r Fall Growth.
There Is some complaint from the
Stage Gulch country that there has
not been sufficient rain to put the
ground in first-class condition for
sowing wheat. However, many will
begin their seeding next Monday, and
take all the chances there may be of
sprouting and Insufficient growth to
Insure it for the winter.
Most of the hauling of this year's
crop to the warehouses has been ac
complished, while the roads are so
badly cut up that It Is extremely dif
ficult to get loaded wagons over them
at this time, which makes hauling
slow, and it will be a month before
It is finished.
