SAYS IT IS ZBIG SUCCESS Trouble la thnt Too Mnnr Undertake to Ilnndle n Trnet Without Suf ficient Capital to Carrr Tli em ThrouRh.

"Irrigation," says Chief Teele, "Is prov ing a success throughout the country, and where farmers are applying the cor rect methods In handling the lands they are making money." Handling Irrigated land, according to Chief Teele, Is really not a poor man's proposition, and the failures he thinks ate generally among those who go onto .these lands without sufficient money. To handle an Irrigated tract successfully, Chief Teele Is of the opinion that the owner should have at least $2,000. With this sum he could make his Improvements and live until he raised a crop, but, In addition to the money, the man upon tho land should, at the time ot settling, bo the owner ot a team and a fair supply ot agricultural Implements. Chief Teele has Investigated tho claim that the constant Irrigation of land re sults In bringing alkali salts to the sur face, thereby decreasing the crop yield, lie finds that the claim Is true, but adds that It Is l08sib(o to overcome this by drainage, thus carrying off the alkali.
