Hnrrti for tlio World. The subject of Irritation and beet iiiignr culture It one of Hie srcatest Importance to the iiciplo of tills itate , ns well na to those ol Colorado , Ka nns , Wyoming anJ tlie Da- kolas. With a coinpletn system of Irrigation there Is not the least iloulit but that this Unto would noon become the garden fpot of the land. Irrlpatlon Is beyond the experi mental slnRC nnd tests show tliat the icll Is very prolific nnd fertile , almost any kind of crops thriving where the moisture Is arti ficially npplUil. The most practcal nnd tha cheapest way to secure water Is now the main question among land owners , and many people hcpc to Kd the government lo take hold of this matter mid assist them In re claiming arjd lands. DurliiR the recent con vention of the State Untikera nssoclatln , held In this city , ncvcral papers relating tn . .rrlgatlonvero read , which are of enough Interest and Instruction for The Hee to repro duce them In Innse part. One of these pa pers was from A. Hansel , secretary of the State lltireau of Immigration , nn the "Prop agation of the Sugar Heel. " He said : "The culture of the mgar bct In Nebraska means nothing less than the fructification ot many thousands of acres of rich lands , Which , for want of sufficient precipitation , cannot prolitably grow either small grain or corn , nnd It means , also , Inourance against another dry year , which la certainly within rangs of possibility. If 189 + lias proven any thing. It has proven that the licet will grow and do well , where surface crops will wither under the hot blntUs of tlio monsoon. Its root , search deep down Into the soil for mois ture , nnd will keep thi- plant healthy , when corn In neighboring fields Urea In the hot winds. One may come across fields of beets durllis the heat of the day what ? leaves are wilted , Impressing the beholder as If the crop wena total loss , but looking at them when tlio turn ilics above the horizon , these very leaves are seen standing fresh nnd healthy , fully recuperated. Though many sections of Nebraska have stood thin year's loss well , how would another mishap affect them ? "llut apart from these favored parts , let un remember those others , In which a scar city of precipitation Is the rule , and not the exception. Though blessed with the very best of toll. It avails them nothing. Their only safety lies In two expedients , namely : Irrigation and root crops. Unquestionably I ho Irrigation of good lands IB a paramount panacea , but , to perfect a practical system of ditches takes three things ; running water , tlmo and money. The first , some sections never can get ; tlio tccond Is hard to secure , while rrl cf In tire course of years would come too late for most of those now suffering. Hence , It Is plain that the people should seek safety by planting what their soil will grow under the most unfavorable conditions. Those acrjiinlnled with the agricultural conditions of the westrn part of the state will agree that It "a n country for roct crops , 'par ' ex cellence ' REASONS KOK RAISING BEETS. "The advantages of the sugar beet over other root crops ate very great Indeed. The two most callent ones are : That theru l& absolutely no limit to the demand for sugar for generations to come next , as the celebrated - ' brated lilnholt Bald : 'Of oil root crops , the least exhaustive to the land la tlio tugur bset. ' Now , It Is true- that sugar beet land must be fertilized for beets'.1 and crops thereon rotated , but these other crops share In the effects of ferllHzat on , yielding greatly Increased harvests. That the beet can ba .grown swcesifully In Nebraska 1ms been proven. "Suppose that under the new tariff the factories could not afford to pay over $ i per ton. At these figures would It pay the American farmer to raise beets ? The United States , experimental station at Schuy- ler , Neb. , reports as a result of several years' experiments that the average yield per acre Is fourteen and fifteen onc-hnn- dredtha tons. Statements received from dif ferent Nebraska farmers place the yield at from twelve to eighteen tons. To be con servative. let us figure the smallest yield , namely , twclvn tons , at ? 4 , or a gross return of wboul $ J8 per acre. I have received many different reports , giving the actual coU all the way from 5-12 to } 30 per acre until I became convinced that , properly man aged , the expense should not be over $15 per acre , always providing that the farmer Is a worker , and counting with an average-sized family , Because. In raising beets , every clilld Is a little capital In ItssU. Fre quently fanners. In counting the coat ol beetx. will charge all their time spent In the beet fields at full laborer's wages , thus run- nlnt ; their own work In for front flO to $2(1 ( prr acre , and the only manner I could con vince them of the error of their way waste to have them figure out the cost of forty bushels of corn to the acre , selling usualtj at about 20 cents , or ? 8. I was careful t ( luvetttleutc the cost abroad , so as to judge of the correctness of placing It at SIC here , and believe that the findings justify the proposition. With the proceeds of beets al $18 the cost of rnlslne al JIT , ( hero woult' ' remain n net profit of $33 per acre , which even If cut In two , to make the estlinatt per adventure correct , would still leave the fanner $16.50 not gain per acre , or twice an much us hla gross receipts when ralaliu corn in ordinary years. "f advocate that each locality take the mutter up with the purpose of building i Iccal plant to develop Its own Interests ant surrounding territory. I bellevo the tlmi will come when few railroad tnxvns In No hras.Ua of any size , laying claim to enter prise , will be without a plant of say sixty tc 100 tons dally capacity , which means at leas COO to 1,000 ucrcs planted In beets. I expec they will become as necessary to the farmer ; as grain elevators and grist mills. ADVANTAGE OF SMALL PLANTS. "I know at present of four little town * li Nebraska contemplating the erection ot nnal factories In time for next year's crop , an. on such n plausible and advantageous plai as to make the establishment of no llnancla hardship , In spite ot the present stilngency caused by bad crops , ana u predcms mane tmy crisis ; besides , absolutely securing th hearty co-operation of etrery farmer lMi many miles. The advantages of small loca plants are patent and manifold. Every do ! lap paid out hy a factory In xsjgcs i * tpcn right at home ; every dollar paid by firmer In cultivating their beet fields likewise le mains at home. Every dollar received b the fanner for his beets finds its \ > uy theme t home banks and home merchants , and laUlj every dollar of profit made \ < y me fjcttr stays In ( own. being divided between th home klockhotdeni.

" Tim siriuECT or IRRIGATION. The "Heclamallon of Arid Lands by Irri gation" was the subject of the paptr read at the Mint ) mcctliiK by J , T. 0'IIrlan tf Kearney. Mr. O'tirlan ' Is a civil engineer who lias given this subject much attention and ho ii il : "Of any of the political commonwealths under consideration Nebraska Is the most fortunate In her water rupply. The Nlo- brara , Loup , Clatle and Republican river. ! furnish n large volume ot water from Octo ber t to August 15 , ten monthsIn the year , which Is all that , can be nskcd fcr by the Ir- rlgator. It lit estimated that there are 3G- 000,000 acres In the sub-hum d regions of this state and enough water to Irrigate 35- 000,000 of these acres. This water supply li based on the visible How of the rln > , and doc ? not contemplate the use of the water more than once for Irrigation purposes. It Is kirwn. however , that a large portion of water used -for Irrigation returns to tlio rivers hy ccepngo. It Is also feasible and practical to Impound li'.rgo bodies of flood water for use during the heated summer months. "Perhaps no subject Is so Interesting In hydraulic engineering ns fie | ihr ° atlcvater supply of the plains. Th-jre have riecri many schemes devised to control this suhteruinenn flaw of water , the most feasible one of which scemi to establish a head , 0"- draw , hy es tablishing a gradient , nnd excavating a basin or canal for the ttjepi&e.

Hut wo hive not yet made enough pro r'ss to 'lve tiny de finite Information en the -ouoject. "Tha ijueatinu of obtaining w.iter Ly ar- testau wells Is tn u fjlr stata ot de velopment , but us yet Is i'ily a innuur of speculation until , more Miorjush trfu are iniide. Water may also b wectirod for Irri gation from wells by Men * ot small lifts nml other mechanical devices , hit Hit * wu'ld not rover any considerable area. " Mr. O'llrlan presents n'i orray > ( fln-res to show the probable ( mount of nntcr that would he necessary for diTo.vnt 1 Irms of pro luce , and suys that If .he rainfall , un derground flow and the ovorlol the stre.ims of the state woull be uaMil by menus of refct-rvolrs , and > vlt'i ' the remilnr .supply furnished hy 'he rlvi.'s , theie would be enough water to Irrigate all sections of the arid portions of this ? 'af- and turn Ihe land Into useful farms fur all purposes , at a small cost , after the first o 'stif Inr.MliiK the basins mill canals. TIC CMiic'i.ilea ' hy Wing' "As to the necessity of irrigation in Xe- bruska you are doubtlejs wcil persuaded , and as to Its benefits , Its absolute uniform success throughout the onllrc wa t vhmver tried , testifies. With n propjr use ul Us water supply from Its various i ° o trees Ne braska can within ten years hecniiie cno of the richest nnd most bsiutlf.il agrli'i'ural ' states In the union. "Thu natural tendency will be to in re Intensify farming , with the Inevll-ibla itsult of reducing the larms fiii'n ! ' 0 to I'J ' rtrts ul tliu most. RESULTS TO HE ATTAINED. "To give some Idea of the possible results of Irrigation , I will simply cite tha sugar Industry. What Is known as the sugar zone comprises practically nil of the states west of the nlnetr-fccvcnth meridian , or a strip 200 miles wide , extending In a southerly direction from the middleof Dakota well down Into Texan. Should 1,300,000 of the 2- SSO.OUO acres of the river valleys be planted In Miffnr beets , and assuming an average crop of twelve tons to the acre , an amount which would seem conservative for Irrigated lands , something like 15,000,000 tons of beets could be produced. . Again , assuming that elBht tons of beets will produce one ton of vtigur , we would have 1,050,000 tons of sugar , or un amount equal lo our present Importa tion , and would reproient the disbursement of over $ " 0,000,000 for labor alone In cultivat ing and marketing the crop , with a result ant saving of about $120,000,000. which is sent out annually from this country for sugar. "The question Of judicious Irrigation for ths ! stnio would becm to bo of no small niumcnt. and as yet we have practically no legislation on the subject that Is ot nny value. "It would seem that the creation of an Ir- rliratlon commlsflon , with the office of state engineer nt the head , would be a good thing. Also the udoiitlon of a district Irrigation law oik lines t-imlhir - to what Is known as the Wright law of California , but framed to fit the exltllni : conditions of this state. " On the practicability of Irrleatlon , I. A. Kort of North Platte said : "Nebraska not onlv has her own streams , with an annual rainfall of thirteen to thirty-six Inches , hut s.ho . has the water coming from the Rocky mountain watershed , amounting to 35,000,000 acres In area from the North Hatte water shed , and 4,000,000 acres airea from the South 1'latto watershed. From thin last but little c n Ix ) expected , except during flood seaeon. as Colorado draws the water out of this stream every year , It Is believed that the North Pl<o.ls capable of Irrigating about 10,000,000 acres , nnd the average amount o ! water coming Into our statn from thin source varies from 4,000 cubic feet per second In September , to from 12,000 to 20,000 cubic feet per second In May and June. Then , we have our other rivers , the Loup , Nlobrarn , Ivlllioin : , Hlue and other smaller streams , whloli furnish annually an enormous amount of water that could be iiied for Irrigating purposes. Nebraska contains about 50,000,000 acres of land , nnd of this" amount 20,000,000 acres can be Irrigated by means of canals , nnd from 10,000,1100 to 15,000,000 by pumping plants worked hy mechanical means. "With her water supply , Nebraska Is for tunate , us she will have no blasting , quar rying , but little tunneling nnd less flnmlng to do In Irrigating. It lias been our Ignor ance of the great gain that we could derive from Irrigation , rather than our Indifference , that las prevented 119 from availing our- i-elves ot these great resources. When the dinner can be made ID understand that he I : at Ihe mercy of the elements and IK actually a gntnhler In his business , he will make u chuniro In the condition of affairs. "Irrigation means n great future before us , It means that our soil will be made to retail : Its fertility forever ; Hint In the place ol expectancy and uncertainty , we will have UK certainty ot good crops ; our orchards am ; fields will become famau ? for their produc tiveness , and our annual yield will be esti mated with the certainty that the manu facturer estimates the productiveness of hit mills. "It can be demonstrated that If cortali portions of California arc now belnff bone filed hy their artificial water supply. Nev York and New England can also bp bene filed from the same source. Iowa and III ! nols will yet follow If Louisiana finds Irrl ration Is beneficial to corn. The comlnj farm will bo cultivated by that proecs : known us Intensive farming , and aililltlona farms will make additional towns , and de vclop the cities already established.

WIN STRATIONS OF THE LAST FIVE MONTH3 .Summary of tlio "Aid Intruded Which I he ClrcuiitKtiiiicr * SnowrilVn * Mtirli Nrnlpil L'linriititrr of tlio ItrncMclurlcs Nectlnuf tlio institution. ITivo month ! ngo last Ttninday the Women's ChrlMlan association opened a lodging house for women and clill'Jreti at 1712 Doiijrlas slteel , being leil to tills ftep becausetf tlio frequent applications for shelter niter the temporary n-llef work at Eighteenth and St. Mary's nvenuc was dis continued. The house was rented anil con tribution ; ! ot turnlture unil supplies , were solicited. A ready tesponse to tlili solicita tion t > con enabled the committee In charge to open the house tor the reception of those In need or such accommodations , nnd It was not long before Its snclter was sought y many whose necessity proved the need I such a place. Mrs. Siiltlvnn was placed n charge. A few rules and regulations re made for the government of Inmates , ut nothing Irksome or unpleasant Is .rp- ulred. Attendance nt the morning [ irayers nd proper behavior while at the home are ho chief requirements , The prices for odgliiB and meals arc aa tu\v as possible , . 15 ents a night , or 75 cents u week for the ormer , and 10 cents a meal , or $2.85 a veel : , for board and lodging. In case n roman Is unable to ) iay even these small urns , she Is given credit until she can pay , or no one Is turned ixway because ol lack f funds. One of the most encouraging features of he work Is ( he fact that In nearly every -ase wliege credit has been given , the oilgers have returned to pay all or a. por- lon of her Indebtedness , and deeply grate- ul are they for the kindly charity that lias enabled them to tide over u period of actual want. In addition to the regular work , about lie first of June the experiment was begun of having pome one meet the Incoming rains at the stations. Mrs. Sullivan took ip this work as the agent of the Women' * hrlstlan association , nnd In the short space jf three months fifty-three persons were re ceived at Ihe home , who , without the help of the "Travelers' Aid. " ns this department a called , might have fared very differently. Nine persons , six of them children , were aken to their friends , and any one who < news how dreadful It Is to find one's sell ilono In a strange city , can appreciate how real tilts-help has b3en. Some- very pathetic ncltlents have occurred In connection with this work , some of which have been noted n the dally papers , one In particular , the young girl whom Miss Winnie Davis as sisted , und another a paralysed woman with out means and a ticket hut part way to her ilestlnatlon. .As the- winter approaches , the need of this branch uf the work becomes mcro apparent. The work of the lodging house Is necessar ily limited , ns but fourteen perscns can be accommodated at a. time , but It Is not the In tention to penult any one tn remain longer than Is necessary to IIml employment or other lodgings. In order to facilitate the former , efforts are made to find places for wlthlng to work , and many have been provide. } fcr In this way. No charge Is made those for whom help Is obtained , but It Is hoped that those who are thus benefited will be sufficiently Interested tu lend their assistance to carry on the work , 8inc it cannot - , not be wholly self-support UIR. Opportunity to do their own laundry work- Is given to the Inmate. ' , and this ia.ru > small , Item to those whd are o"i of vviirk with scantily filled purses. That this and the , oilier advantages are appreciated Is shown In , the fact that In no instance has any difficulty arisen , and those who have been shelterel return to express their gratitude for favors ucelved. To women who have been long en gaged In philanthropic work this fact .s by no means Insignificant , For the first four months of the work the whole number of lodgings was 541 , IJifi nf which wore free ; whole number cf meals , Ilit" , of which 404 were free. One hundred and thirty-two different persons were lodged , concerning whom tlio matron compiled the following Interesting statist cs : Nationality , American , ( JO ; Germans , 17 ; Irish , 14 ; Swede. 9 ; English. 8 ; unascertained , 2C. llellgiou denominations , Itomnn Catholic , 2U ; Luth erans , 16 ; Methodist , 13 ; Episcopalian , 10 ; Presbyterian , 7 ; Ct-risl'an nnd Baptist each , G ; Congregatlonallsts , 3 ; Salvation army , 1 ; no church , 1 ; unascertained , 4G.

Four Infants have been baptized , One habe died ; nine have been provided with homes ; two have besn adopted. Two sick girls were tent to the county hospital , two to the Presbyterian hos pital , three to the Open Door , one to the Mllford Home , and one to the Mission of Our Merciful Savior. One'old lady was taken to the Prpsbyterlan hospital , where she died a few days later. One little hey was found a home , ' nnd two little girls \lere tent to the Mission. This Is Ihe record of but four months , and during the past three weeks the work has In no wise lagged. The riuestlon now Is : How much sympathy nnd material assistance may the Women's Christian association expect from the citizens of Omaha tn carrying on Us work In this field ? The coming winter Is to be one of great hardship , , and the as sociation cannct .carry forward this work without funds and supplies. Stoves and fuel must bo had , and more bedding Is Impera tively demanded. That the wo'rk Is needed there can beno gainsaying. That It is being carried on wisely and properly tlio members of the association believe , and , In prrtt of It , cordially Invite the attention and Investi gation of nil who are Interested. Beginning October 1 MUs Agnea Rob/rtson will be In charge and visitors will b wel come at nny time. Next Tuesday afternoon , In the Commercial club rooms , will \ > s held the regular meeting of the Women's Christian association , and every one Interested in the maintenance of this work Is Invited to bo present , and any one who U willing to contribute to Its sup port Is earnestly requested to send word to the women , that 'ihey may fetelthat they have the endorsement of the public , Tlio M'rvkly fur tlie CunipulKii , ' The Weekly Be'c will be sent up to No vember in , covering the entire campaign , for 10 cents.

Last night was the beginning ot a new ycir by the Jewish calendar , and services for the occasion were held Ui Temple Israel , conducted by Itov , Dr. Franklin. A very largo congregation filled the temple , A special choir service was a feature. After the services were completed iho members of the congregation congratulated each other nml bade each other geol wishes for the future. Dr. Franklin delivered an address on "Remembering and Forgetting. " tn looking over the past year , he said , we are too much Inclined to consider only the dark side and forget altogether that there Is a bright side , We- remember only the misfortunes nnd the sorrows ami forget the blessings Hint we have enjoyed. For even In such nn tin fortunate year as wo liave had there were many blessings. Such H gloomy view tends lo make one a pessimist , the most miserable nun that lives. It Is much batter to be optimistic. If we have any great sorrows , we arelo regard them is sacred , atnl not to be paraded before the | bitter , cold world. The world will be M.I- sympathetic , anil we will then become bitter ownrd the rest of humanity , We hear nuch of Ingratitude. Doubtless every one . us felt Us pang. Some one whom we have rusted and held us n friend lias b'trayed- , ilf trust , nnd we consider nil the world | corrupt , li.ifo and dishonorable. Such a 'eellns will nlso make one n pessimist. We Jorget how many true friendships we have and let the one betrayal overshadow all Ihe trust. This Is not right. There Is milch good and truth and beauty In the world. Wo should always rather look upon the bright side than tlio dark. Another service will be bold in the temple his morning at 0:30 : o'clock.

Sonic persons are attached to It , and couldn't real I v do without. So would yon if yon try It , for tu-o reasons. First -The llececlining is tender , non irritable , smooth and heat retaining. Second It is more durable , warmer and a good amount cheaper th.ni ordinary wool. Heavy demands were made upon us forthis underwear lust yenr.Ve sold loads of 'em , in fact we were unable to supply the demand.

The reduction on other underwear is perhaps not quite 1 C- so extensive , until you reach imported wool , which received u setback , because of the decree of free wool , which goes into effect January 1st , 181)5. ) So far we squeezed the juice of the fruit and our stock of wool underwear is shelved at n gooJ l3t deal cheaper than hist yeir.
