DEAR SIR:-Yours of 3lst ult. re-
ceived. In reply would say l have
grown crimson clover on sandy land
quite as successfully as on stiff or clay
land. 1t is best not to prepare land
deeply, out made it friable for two
or three inches on top. Sow seed
when a season is in the land or Just
before q rain. | have sown the seed
as late as October Is, but prefer to
SOW between August goth and Sep,
TENDER goth for best results. 1t does
not exhaust but improves land, and
any crop will grow off promptly in the
spring, and make q better yield on
land upon which crimson clover has
been grown in the fall and cut in the
spring. The clover stubble is easily
broken down and rots quickly and
thereby furnishes plant food promptly
for summer crops of all kinds. 1t
makes the best of winter pasturage,
but being young and tender, must not
be grazed too close or when the
ground is wet. My experience with
winter vetche is confined to one trial.
Sow 40 lbs. seed with 80 lbs. winter
oats in September on good, rich land.
1t makes a great quantity, double as
much as crimson clover) of very rich,
succulent green food, and more and
better hay.
Yours truly,
B. P. WILLIAMSON.

An exposition tnaC has demonstrated

they are large and wealthy cities,
nullt up you might say, yet they are
willing to spend money to attract peO-
pie and money. This kind of adver-
Using must pay. If New York and
Chicago discern benefits in the world Is
fair, why should not Waco discern
benefit in the water carnival?
1t may be accepted as good business
gospel that St. Louis AMI Chicago and
New York are not offering millions
tor the location OF the worlds fair just
for the fun of it. San Antonio will
follow the lead of very enterprising,
wide awake, business communities in
putting up money 10 secure perma-
uent fair and exposition mere. OF this
matter there Is no room for doubt.
This city and Southwest Texas need
more advertising, aud this will do it;
needs more people to visit her and see
her advantages, and this fair will
bring them.

That Misldlenlali.

That the Middleman is convenience ac-
connts for our having him; that he is often
an expensive luxury. costing more than he
is worth, accounts for our wanting to be rid
of him. AT the bottom ef the Farmers Alli-
aace movement is the excessive charge which
is made between the land and the CONSUMER,
for handling products. The question, you
perceive, involves the railway, as well as
the skirmisher of the agricultural region,
the Produce Exchange as well as the Elevator
the wholesaler as well as the retailer. Now,
Will. there is room for reform in charges SO
that the producer and consumer alike shall
pay less toll to the handler, it remains to
to be seen whether such designations of the
present system as are proposed by those who
are dead in earnest for reform, will effect
all that is desired. The warehouse eysten,
with Bank advances has been in operation
in Germany for many years and for trade in
general; but it is not caught up With avidIty
by the working classes. For example, the
German rustics do a good deal of household
manufacturing, and under the present sy stem
ipun makes bureau or woman who
weayes linen, If she chooses, carries her pro-
duct 10 . general warehouse and gets advan-
ces in money on her goods, ut a low rate of
interest. But the system does not furnish
relief expected oft. 1t does not discourage
middicmenj il does not dcpress uslrious
interest; workers in general do not Gnd it a
panacea for their ills. It is not popular.
Its likely that a movement to diminish
the complexity OF the midjlemen's service
first be undertaken; but it is probable that
through general farm agencies answering
to cooperative enterprise, such a reform
would pronisc better results than through
inyocatioDs nt the State. The habit of call.
ing on the State ior relief On all occasiops,
wenkens the power of self-heip and disqual.
ifes those who want help from obtaining it
through that combination Of identical inter
ests WHICH is the strength of union. The
farmers have achieved success in cooperative
'lairyiYg because theT have put their hands
MS well as heads together. They will find
better remedies for the excessive charges Of
middlemen by employing industrial union
rather than political manipulation. The
farmers themselves can run their own
business better than any Bureau Of any
State. The closer the farmers keeI, in touch
til their products between the land and
the mouths that eat them, the less will be
the charges that they will have to pay to
run fifth wheels of the industrial coach

Colorado led off more than half decade
ago in heavy ditch enterprises, and a con.
tinuous construction has gone on since.
Two years ago the storage plan was asitatel
! and adopted and Colorado struck in. The
FIRST step being inaguratcd in tentative way
those that follow usually improve on both
plan and scale If that is not fully tile
case in this irrigation matter by those re-
gions which followed Coloradp's energetic
revival of the primitive California and Utah
irrigation methods, it has been ut least partly
so. A writer in the MaHufncurer's Gazette,
Boston, Mass, in the issue o. November Sth.
inst, discusses some cf che notable feats OF
American engineering and commences with
.l,c great reservoirs Of The west us examples
Of engineering skill. Without mentioning
the Cherry Creek dam, thirty miles from
Denver. which deserved To be noted, he
speaks OF one at Merced, Central California
where an earth dam about a mile long was
built incidentally to fill up II depression. ex.
pensive to cross or go arouud in making Il
ditch IS miles in length. The dam is in
places 90 feet high. and confines FIVE thous-
and FIVE hundred million gallons of water.
Another in Arizonia confines four Thousand
million gallons by n ston. dam wedge shaped
and withoHt cement, having a wooden lining
to prevent escape of water through the un-
cenented stone.
A remarkable one in San Dernardno
county, California, built in the form of an
arch, aud by curving inward or up stream
transfers the pressure of the water to the
80 -, ,r tI,..
novel and bold conception. The reservoir
| covers $3.50 acres and holds ten thousand
million gallons. Works Of great magnitude
and cost have been some two years in use
near San Diego, Cal. Two others are pro-
jected in Arizonia; one in Pecos Valley,
N. NJ. is now perhaps completed; and one
near Denver, of immense capacity, is under
construction to furnish water for the city
nnd irrigation to the Platte Valley.
Dear Lake, in Eastern Idaho, has had its
storage capacity greatly increased and covers
l5O square miles. 1t is designed to irrigate
by canals, GGoO, 900 acres in Bear Valley,
and 100000 near Ogden, Utah. The con-
struction, now approaching completion, will
cost upwards of two million dollars. Several
long canals in the Snake River Valley,
idaho, will, when completed, cover some
millions of acres with water. The numerous
ditch systems in the Arkansas Valley, from
the Grand Canon down. will cover quite as
muck when completed.
In fact the day of great things in water
| storage and extensive irrigation has GENE
| These immense constructions above noted
are only some among the more notable built
or building or about to be built. The
| smaller ones are already legion and the
rapid way in which they multiply gives
notice that shortly the arid regions will be
fully supplied with magnificent agricul-
| ture.
