Applicants for the Service I'm

ton.
ENTERING THE MARINE CORPS
Hard Times Induce Many Young Men
to EnliSt-How DeserterS and
Criminals Are Detected.

"Recruits2 Yes, they flock IN like ducks
in rainy weather" remarked DR.. Lowndes
of the United States marine recruiting
station. ''The hard times drove them in at
a brisk pace, until now we can afford to
accept only first-class applicants for the
Marine Corps. This branch of the service,
might observe, is composed almost ex-
clusively OF Americans, and the appli-
cants I find are Americans as a rule.
They are preferable of course, and espe-
cially at time when the country is en-
gagged in q dispute with a foreign nation
they are desirable. 1t may be said that
while many are called few are chosen.
The other morning sixteen applicants APP
peard at the door, and of that number only
one was passed.
The applicant who is successful here is
sent over TO Mare Island for final inspec-
ton, and if the commander there is salts
fed he is put in the reserve; if not, he is
returned to this Office. So it is not sure
thing for recruit until he has passed eff
cial scrutiny on the island.
Eyes, we meet some strange cases." con-
tinued the doctor. "Only few days ago,
for instance, a tall, fne-featured man, in
rather a neat suit of clothes, asked to
be examined. He had the general appear
ance OF gentleman. AS he prepared for
examination I noticed that the man was
exceedingly nervous. His face bore a
panied look. l gazed at him in astonish-
ment when / felt his pulse and found it
beating as high as 40. The examination
went no further. The man tremblingly
explained to me that he hadn't tasted food
in nearly forty-eight hours. Judged him
to be speaking the truth and gave him a
dollar with the request that he eat and
SLEEP and return TO me on the following
morning. The man was true to his word.
and he passed the examination both here
and at the island. He was fairly educated
and OF good family, but had been pursued
by ill-lucll until he reached almost the
starvation point.
Then, again we meet young men who
are eager for military fame. One wanted
me to tell hlm what he would have to pass
through TO become a major. but / sent
him TO army headquarterA where he could
learn what he would have to pass through
TO become private.
As far as naval enlistments are con-
cerned the Marine Corps is the most
eagerly sought after. Marines are very
different from seamen. Two years of the
marines fve-year-term OF enlistment is
spent on the land, where he is generally
stationed in large cities. The examination
of marine, too, is more eXacting than
that OF the seaman. In the case of the
former he is first questioned in a very low
tone as to facts concerning himself, and
as to his family history; both his hearing
and intelligence being tested in this way.
His nose and mouth are microscopicauy

examined and the sound or unsound con-
dition of the teeth is noted. His eyes1ght
is tested by the reading of small print
several PAGES away, and then follows the
color test. Men who have never known
that their eyesight was at all defective
often discover themselves to be color blind.
AS to measurements mans chest must
expand more than three inches before
between feet inches and 6
feet in height, and weigh not less
than $50 pounds. Heart and lungs are
scientifically tested, and no appreciate
disorder in these organs can escape the
surgeons scrutiny. From head to foot
the applicant is studied. Indeed, so par
ticular is the marine examiner that no
knock-kneed man is passed and even fat

preparing the land in this way the sur
face between the bitches Can be made
perfectly smooth. l find that 600 bar
rels of water will irrigste one acre Of
land. A stream three feet wide and six
inches deep, with a current running
three miles an hour, is good head OF
water for one man to handle, and will
irTigate about ten acres in twelve hours
My crops go very nearly twenty days
from one irrigation to another, but every
fifteen or sixteen days would be better.
OF course l cultivate after each irriga-
tion. To keep up our community ditch
costs an average Of 81 an acre each year,
Irrigation is not near the expense that
some seem to think. 1t costs me l5
cents an acre to irrigate each time. no
tice that in some localities it is still the
practice to irrigate both day and night
/ formerly did so, but now have small
reservoir into which run the water at
night in order to have good head for
the following day. A man cannot do
good work in night irrigation. Farm
ing by irrigation with good water
privilege beats farming in the rainy
countries for many reasons. We get
better prices for what we produce and
the harvesting is not disturbed by rain
fall Speaking from my own experience,
farming in the arid region is profitable
business. have cut as much as 225
tons of alfalfa hay from seventy acres of
land. I cut alfalfa three times during
the season. In my opinion the further
development of the Rocky mountain
region can only be accomplished
by means of storage reservoirs.
In our section we have a twelve
acre reservoir that is q success. | do
not think we can successfully store and
utilize the flood waters in the mountain
legion. They come with such violence
and carry 80 much sediment and drift
wood that reservoir would soon be
filled up. There are many mountain |
streams that run q good head Of water
in early spring for this purpose.-G. G.
