To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
The statute provides for the holding OF
one farm institute in each county during the
year. The purpose In brief is to improve
the methods OF farming, including growing
and disposihg of crops. soil fertility. breed
ing and growing live stock, the dairy and
poultry interests, fruit growing-in short,
the general progress of the farmer. Under
the judiciols management of the faculty
of Purdue University real progress has
been made. The Institutes have grown in
interest and multiplied in attendance and
arc now regarded of great value TO the
State in helping the farmer and fruit grower
TO meet the changing conditions that con-
front them. Impoverished soil, atmospheric
and climatic changes, fungus growth and
insect pests are among the conditions that
confront the farmer, The institutes are of
real Importance to the welfare of the State.
The management should remain under the
control of Purdue. No better argument can
he offered than the success attained. The
effort to transfer this work to the State
Board of Agriculture Is ili-timed. The
ability OF the State board 10 control the
work has net been demonstrated The pres
ent management makes its own defense.

that the chairman Of the board OF super

Whenever the chairman OF the board
Of supervisors cannot attend the con-
vention he is requested to appoint some
one who will certsinly be present and
who Is familiar with the affairs OF his
county and thoroughly competent 10
speak for It on all matters. In the ap-
pointment Of delegates from the magis-
terial Districts It'll especially requested
that men who will attend the conven-
ton, who are road enthusiasts and can
talk on the subject, be selected. In
other words 1t is desired that the dele
gates to the convention be among the
ticsl men of the State and that every
county and section be represented. An
interesting program will be prepared
and exhibits Of road machinery at work
will be made at the exposition grounds
for the benefit OF the delegates. The
subject Of road legislation for Virginia
will be discussed st the convention as
we'll as other important matters con-
nected with good roads.
The question OF good roads Is of para.
MONT Importance TO the people OF Vir-
GINA, especially farmers and merchants,
and 1t is earnestly hoped that the con-
vention in October will be attended by
full delegation from every county in
the State and that the work then done
will be Of lasting benefit to the COM
monwealth.
As result Of the State good roads
convention held last October and sys-
tematic campaign OF education upon the
road question which this association has
been carrying on since that time, the
interest in road improvement Is increas-
ing very rapidly In Virginia. Reports
from many sections indicate that lack
OF suitable road laws has tendency to
discourage efforts for the improvement
OF roads, and in view Of this fact we are
convinced that in the legislative cam
paign this tall, the question Of better
roads and road laws should be given
special prominence.

THE GOLD RESERVE.
Heavy Drain of the Yellow Metal for Ex

WASHINGTON, August 12.-The treas
ury to-day lost 81 $4,000 in gold for ex-
port to Europe, leaving the reserve only
about Sl,30O,O0o above 500, 900, 900
point. The telegram which announced
the withdrawal reached the department.
just as it was closing at o'clock and
gave no information as to the name OF
the expertor or the exact destination OF
shipment.
Mr. Curtis, acting secretary. said he
had nothing to say in regard to the
matter. He had no specific informa-
syndicate would allow the 500. 900, 600
to BIO oncroached upon or not. None of
the other officials would talk in the
absence Of Secretary Carlisle. This
heavy withdrawal has given rise TO
report that another bond issue is i'm
pending but there Is now no one in
Washington who can speak authorita-
lively on the subject, or who has infor-
nation not shared by the public.
The best public opinion is that the
syndicate will not allow the reserve to
be encroached upon until after October
l, when, as generally understood their
obligations ce tses. But In the event
Of still further Withdrawals it is be-

BIG OCEAN WAVES.
Careful Data Show Them to BE Not Over
Thirty-tMo Feet High.


An article quoted in Current Litera-
ture gives this interesting information
on ocean waves. DR.. G.. Schott, as the
result of studying the form and height
of the waves of the sea, claims that I'M
der u moderate breeze their velocity was
"a. feet per second, or 1868 miles an
hour. which is about the speed of "a mod
ern sailing vessel
As the wind rises the size and speed
of the waves increase. In strong breeze
their length rises TO EGO feet and their
speed reaches 36 or &C. 4 feet per second.
Waves the period of which is nine sec
onds, the length 400 or 1926 feet, and
the speed 2S nautical miles per hour arc
produced only in storms During a
southeast storm in the southern Atlantic
no measured waves 600 feet long, and
this was not maximum, for in latitude
2S degrees south and longitude 80 de-
grees east he observed waves of 5 sec
onds' period, which were 1,15O feet
long, with Il velocity of 1871 feet per
second, or 4G15 nautical miles an hour
DIR. Schott does not think that the
maximum height of the waves is very
great. Some observers have estimated it

represented by II on the Beaufort scale,
the highest number Of which is ~, and
DR.. Schott's maximum is just 32 feet He
believes that i'll great tempests waves of
moro than 60 feet are rare, and that
even those of 90 feet are exceptional In
the ordinary trade winds the height is 5
or feet The ratio of height to length
is about 1873 i'll u moderate wind, 1.1S
in q strong wind and III in storm,
from which it follows that the inclina-

varies greatly.
