a bill of $1,000 a year for every
member of Congress, in order to
provide him a loophOle for his lazi-

clerk. About one man in one hun
dred in Congress needs a personal
clerk, and that man should hire
him. Government provides clerks
for the committees and that is suf-
ficient. The man who cannot get
along on his congressional salary
should stay at home and let some
other man with less preindispOsi-
ton to labor take his place. Con-

Those Pecos valley farmers are
entering with real earnestness and
80 far with success upon their work
OF irrigation. Already some half
million acres have been brought
under irrigation benefits as the re-
suit Of three dams built, and these,
with the storage reservoirs and the
canals, assure a plentiful supply Of
water for agricultural purposes the
year round. The reservoirs are
computed to have capacity Of
nearly five billion cubic feet and
will never run dry. The farms
along these canals are blessed with
a rich soil capable Of producing
immense crops once the needed
moisture is supplied. This work,
so successfully begun there, will
spread to other sections of this arid
west. Work in Uvalde county will
soon begin. 1t has already been
successfully undertaken in Val
Verde county and year by year the
experiment will enlarge itself I'm.
til all this southwest will be
brought under cultivation where.

There is no array of statistics that
can teach as a year or two of expe-
rience does. The cry goes forth for
a decreased cotton area for this in
coming season, but unless the dear
bought experiences Of the past two
years have already taught the nee
essity Of curtailing the crop, there
will be no results from the efforts
of the statisticians to show the in
evitable loss that will follow the
planting Of another full crop. The
only remedy lies in the level-head-
ed planters leaving the field large
~ to their wibblety-wobblety neigh
bors and taking to corn and hominy.
Corn and hogs will pay large re-
turns for some seasons yet, and
while this is so the wise farmer
will tend to his pig pen and the
raising Of the feed necessary to fat
ten for market. Pigs that mature
under a year old and are inclined
to take on a fair amount of lean
with their fat will be the most
profitable.
