have irrigation in many cases, if they want 

 to be absolutely free of the loss attendant 

 upon the continued drouths. 



Regarding this important question the 

 American Beet Sugar Gazette has this to 

 say. Its correspondent recently visited the 

 Cuban Agricultural Station, and in two fields 

 lying side by side, he found that "unirrigated 

 cane can hardly be compared with irrigated. 

 The former is thin, of only medium height 

 and lacks the healthy green color which 

 characterizes cane in good condition, while 

 the latter was thick, and with stalks eight 

 feet high. He says further : "No preference 



has been shown in any way toward these two 

 fields except in the matter of water. Ground 

 was prepared and fertilized equally. The 

 quantity of water necessary to bring about 

 these conditions is not as great as might 

 be imagined. Comparatively speaking only 

 a little water was needed. This was ob- 

 tained from a three-inch pipe at one end of 

 the field. The water was let into a ditch 

 about two feet deep and run by gravity 

 through the field. This demonstration by 

 the experimental station will result in simi- 

 lar methods by such planters as have a prac- 

 ticable water supply.
