All kinds or soil CAnnot be handled the salllo way , and each man l1Iust ' detennlno for hlmseU how his land should bo trealetl. In raising potatoes the water should bo run by the sldo oC and below the , Iotato , rather than on top or them. . . Mr. Denson of McCook said ho had had a great deal oc experience with nHalfa , and had rallied hundreds of acres with Irrigation , but with only ten to thirty foot of water. 110 cautioned people not to sow more than nn acre the first year as an experiment. W. n. Akers of Scot s DlulTs county said alfalfa and stock were the 11I0st prolltablo , things a farmer could raise , and would not sow over fifteen pounds per acre. IN TIm Al < " 'EItNOON.

Alters has been draWng m a bill which he proposes to introduce In the , . senate thIs winter , and outlined It to thll , e _ convention. It has ' seine features of the WYoming , . omlng Irrigation law and some oC California , , He saId there were two kinds oC Irrlg3t1on' : ' necessary. One was known as flooding and the other as furrow. The first was for small 1 , grain and the last for potatoes and crops ' . planted In rows. No general rule could be applied to Irrigation , as .It , depended on th aol/ , / , slope or the land , and crops , but each 'man ' would have 10 experIment' ' and deter- minD what was best for his own case. ?

Mr. Hursha or North Platte has : tried Irrigation 1- gation for eight years , and this year raised fifty bushels of corn and 200 bushels of potatoes - , toes per acre. He thinks potatoes do' best when planted on ground that has raised two .

The land Is being bought by several who have seen the effects oC his , irrigation for a few years. WHEN TIlE CONVENTION OPENED. The opera house was well filled Monday night wIth delegates from all parts oC the state and each wore a badge made fro : in A cloth manua/tured / : at the Icearney cotton I" , mills December 16. Judge Emory , national - lecturer , was the first speaker and said that : this seml-arhl region needed Irrigation as i : snuck as the arid regions further west , as I there was just rainfall enough hero to bring farmers to this stale , but not , enough to make crops a sure thing , hence the suffering ! and failures which we are now experiencin .2 , : with IrrIgation and small - _ , tracts oC say , ' A twenty to Corty acres more people could bo 1 ( accommodated and better success would be 1 the result. In fact , the tenor or those most familiar wlth irrigation Is to the ereect that IrrIgation Is more practical for small tracts than for large ones. E. R. Moses or Great Bend , Nan . related some oC his experiences with Irrigation anll cIted several Instances where poor men had come out west and with IrrIgation and small tracts oC land had accumulated a con U- petency.
