PASSING OF STEAM ENQINE3.
The practical auccess which haa fol
lowed tho uso of tho Internal combus
tion englno in largo ships Beams to
spoil tho beginning of tho end of
steam vessels. Recently the bead of n
company owning and operating more
than 70 steam vessels announced that
his company would never again build
a ship with steam ns tho motlvo pow
er. Tho advantages of tho Internal
combustion englno aro many. Thoy
utlllzo a great per cent of tho en
ergy of tho fuel. They aro econom
ical In operation. As ono man ex
pressed It, all you havo to do Is tc
start the thing and then read a news
paper. Tho fuel can bo convenient
Iy carried, no stokers aro required,
and Instead of tho engines becoming
overheated In tropical climates, trial
seems to show that they work bcttoi
tho hotter tho temperature. Tho pres
ent dlfflculty seems to bo to get oil
at a reasbnablo cost. Gasollno has
been rising steadily In price for somo
tlmo. Tho supply of crudo oil Is not
limitless by any meanB. Thcro re
mains, of course, denatured alcohol,
which can bo mado from vegetablo
matter, and It may In tlmo become
tho great fuol of tho world. How
ever that may bo, it Is reasonably cer
tain that ship owners during the
next decade will turn to tho Internal
combustion engine to solvo many of
their dlillcultlco.
A great many people, fearful of the
ultimato swamping of this country by
an Jnflux of foreigners, look only at
tho statistics showing arrivals of Im
migrants, and forget that thero Is a
refluent tide. During tho fiscal yeai
C'hlch ended with tho month of Juno
mora than a million Individuals from
foreign ports landed In ports of the
United States. Of thoBe, howover,
178,083 woro classified an non-lmml-grants,
which fact roveals tho num
ber of immigrants as 838,172, says tho
Mllwaukoo Evening Wisconsin. But
against this thero was an offset. The
alien departures from Amorican ports
In tho llscal year numbered 615,292,
of whom 282,030 wero non-Immigrants.
To find tho extent of tho Immigrant
addition to tho population In tho
year 1911-12 It is necessary to sub
tract tho 222,262 representing Immi
grants who dopartod from tho 838,
172 representing immigrants who ar
rived. Tho result bIiowb tho gain in
population by immigration during the
year to havo been 401.8G3, which la
not alarming.

Women aro not breaking Into farm

prlco of abandoned farm landB, but
thoy aro, according to scattered re
ports, taking a try at farming, and,
according to tho samo report, they aro
noncrally making a success of it
Qoncrally tho woman who takes to

One of tho inspiring things In life
Is tho popularity of youth. Or perhaps
It may better be called tho aim of
everybody to keep young. Old ago
haa lost out to the modern idea, says

that It takes a wlso ono to pick out

TRUE ECONOMY IN IRRIGATION
Much Depends on Use of Water In
Way That It Shall Produce
Profit and Not Wasted.
A flow of wator of ono cubic foot
per second would cover 320 acres
twenty-sevon Inches deep In a, year If
and It's a big If nono of it escaped
downward or upward. Even allowing
for such escapes, twenty-sevon inchos
would probably provo enough if ono
could irrigate throughout the year or
storo water without loss. In California
they do mako n cubic foot per second
servo 120 to 200 acres, that is, nfter
a fashion, and after a great deal of
oxpenso In distribution. In Utah sev
enty acres Is covered, and In Colo
ra'do, on short-run streams, 1.44 cubic
feet Is used on eighty acres and reser
voir water used in addition. Theo
rists would havo ono believe that water
that oscapes by percolation Is waBted,
whereas It returns to the water chan
nels and can bo used so long as it
flows in countries under irrigation.
Theoretically, water should only be
run far enough to give Just tho right
amount of water at overy point of Its
flow through tho field, and tho nearer
wo can approximate this, the better,
But wo cannot cut our fields to pieces
with cross laterals which Interfere
with cultivation, grow weeds and I
waste ground. So we run water far
ther than tho exact optimum for econ
omy of water, and wo do advisedly be
cause economical application of water
Is only ono point In farming; tho other
operations must also bo economically
performed.
Thero 1b not any exact rulo that will
glvo us tho exact sonkage of water we
require for plants Independent of tho
fact that soils vary, for It is evident
that in order to reach the end of a
row or land, whntever Its length, and
soak It sufficiently, water must pac3
on the upper nnd Intermediate parts
of tho surface longer than Is absolute
ly necessary. r
This excessive yet ec6nom!cal appli
cation of water passes into the sub
soil and thence to tho steam or river
flow, and when your theoretical irri
gationista discovers It and somo
seeped lands he Immediately cries out
in horror that farmers are wasting
water. Where thero are gravelly sub
soils such return flow will occur In,
somewhat greater quantity than with
a strong, retentive subsoil.
It is a mistake to regard tho theo
retical Irrlgationalst as a harmless, if
mistaken, individual, for ho Is pernici
ously active around legislatures and
congress, and his babble has led to
countless enterprises being foisted on
the public, with a duty imposed on
wator far in excess of what It will
perform.
Already it is common to say that
water should bo taken away from old
settlers and "redistributed, and it is
Impossible to say how Boon somo leg
islature maynot further tangle up our
water distribution systems.
Tho true economy of wator depends
on its use in a way that shall protfuco
a profit, and it has never been allowed
to go to waste for any length of time
In live farming communities, but has
been applied to new lands so Boon aB
It was developed. Without live farm
ers the water is useless; in fact, all
the real value over developed from
water has been by farmers, not by en
gineers, promoters or theorists who
explored it, but by the man who raised
tho crop, whose vital interest is far
greater in water than anyone else's
can be.
Irrigation.
To upply water for the farmers of
the arid regions is a great problem.
Thousands of dollars are going to
build dams, to dig tunnels, to take riv
ers from their banks and run them
Into fertile valleys, to build ditches
all to help the western farmers. In
Kansas wells must a depended on
for most of the water used for Irriga
tion purposes. Some wells have been
dug and are paying big dividends. Oth
ers will bo built.
It is oly by irrigation that tho best
results can be obtained In tho western
pnrt of tho state. The soil is rich, tho
climato good, but tho rain either does
not como at tho right time or enough
water does not fall. With wator fur
nished, good crops can and will bo
grown.
