Gentlemen Some of our South African friends have re-

 large scale the best irrigation methods now in vogue. They 

 are anxious to have full detail as to the method practiced 

 in this country and have requested that we furnish them with 

 catalogues, text books and full information on the subject. 

 We will be glad to have a sample copy of your publication and

 THE IRRIGATION AGE AND DRAINAGE JOURNAL: 



Dear Sir I write to ask if you know whether there is 

 such a thing as a sand tile manufactured. I understand it is 

 made somewhere in northwestern Illinois. It is the common 

 tile with a collar tile about eight inches long that is made to 

 fit and slip over the joint of the common tile. Please write 

 me. Would like to get them as near the central part of 

 Wisconsin as possible. Any information in regard to the 

 above will be greatly appreciated. 



Thanking you in advance, I remain, 



Yours respectfully, 



XAVIER F. GEHANT.

WONDERFUL REPORTS 



UNION 

 PACIFIC 



At present Colo- 



the attention of 



sugar men, some 



soon all the beet 



rado is attracting 

 capitalists and 

 predicting that 

 sugar consumed 



in the United States will be manufactured in 

 a radius of too to 200 miles of Denver. 



In the South Platte Valley on Union Pacific farmers' 



crop of 15 to 25 tons per acre is paid at the rate of $67.50 



to $112.50, which, after deducting all expenses (about $35 



at the most) leaves him a net profit per acre of $32.50 to 



$77.50, or in many cases much more than the value of the ground. 



From beets averaging 17 per cent the farmer can 

 extract 14 percent in granulated sugar, or 280 pounds 

 to the ton of beets. The working expenses are about 

 the same as in the rain belt; coal is even cheaper.
