WATER PROBLEM
Growing Serious at Key West--Water
Costs Ten Cents. a Gallon and is
Going Up---Fifteen Cents a Pint for
Drink Water.

Key West, Fla, May 1.-THE water
problem is getting serious at this place
Naval officers recognize it and they are
looking anxiously for the smoke FROM
the stack of the big government con-
densers which is promised to supply
10000 gallons daily per contract The
plant should have been started April .
but is not yet in operation. The Of
ficers in charge of this station are skep'
teal of the condenser's ability to pro-
duce 10000 gallons.
Key Vests water sources are most
primitive and limited The shallow
wells in town are more or less bracksl
and under suspicion of surface drain
age. Two companies at various times
have driven artesian wells ] 800 and
1900 feet deep, but they have never Sc
cured fresh water. The town lives by
cisterns and rain barrels and the latter
are only shade less unsanitary than
the wells. These cisterns, filled dur
ing the rainy season, usually run very
low by the close of the dry season,
which is now due.
This year in addition to the rains
coming very late, the town has had It's
population doubled by the presence u
troops, ships and war vessels, and thA
army of newspaper correspondents ana
their tugs, which vessels take water by
the thousand gallons, not only for their
crews, but for their boilers. OF course
the war vessels and some of the hos
nj faj 9TH 6, laT7.Q
but the draft on the towns supply IS
still abnormal. The torpedo boats are
without condensing apparatus, ami
they have been scouting for fresh Uaia
as keenly as buccaneers after Spanisi
gallons. Every discovery of a fres-
cistern is hailed like the strike in th|
Klcndike and every gallon Of water ha,
three purchasers, all with money anu
anxious to outbid each other
In these circumstances it is not as
tonishing that water has advanced from
INC to 10c a gallon within the past No
months All who can afford 1t tina p;
to say, the newspaper correspondents
and the officers drink bottled Wa'e''
but dearth of this supply Is approach
ing. Most of the unpretentious brandi
Of bottled water are ST gallon. ana
live" water is Is cents pint by tns
hundred bottles.
To make matters worse, the dtu5
stores let their supply of water run oat
before telegraphing for more, and there
is a corner on water between the gro
Gerry store and hotel and Cuban cIup.
The government reservoir at tne
naval station from which the engine
room is supplied, contains less JnaD
COCO gallons of water, and it is report
ed among the despatch boats that there
is less than LOCO gallons of rain Wa's.
available in town and this OF a very
poor quality.

What promises to be decidedly in
teresting boxing contest VIII take
place tonight in the arena OF the
Bridgeport Athletic Club. AS usual
the affair will take place in the Opera
House, which is admirably adapted to
athletic exhibitions The war excite
ment has monopolized public attention
for several weeks, but the previous
records and fighting abilities OF the
two men should be sufficient to attract
a big crowd tonight.
Everybody knows Charlie Burns, OF
Cincinnati, who has made his home in
Wheeling for some time and every
body knows him to be a boxer of the
first magnitude. 1t is the general
opinion that he might have finished
Buck" Stolzer in the contest before
the B. A. c., as he had him plainly
bested.
Charley Johnson is wonderful
puncher and the hero OF hard fought
contest before the Metropolitan Club.
He ranks among the top-notchers and
was recently matched against VOL
colt.
The two men have finished their
training and will enter the ring in
the pink of condition. Johnson will
probably be the favorite with the bet
ting fraternity. His style Of boxing is
peculiar He is not as clever as Burns,
but he is a wonderful infghter, and
terrific jabber at short range. Ii the
referee permits the men to strike with
one arm free, he will probably win,
although Burns asserts that he is not
afraid Of that style of boxing. Burns
friends, however, realize that ''clean
breaks will be a decided advantage
for the Cincinnati boy, and they will
probably insist that the men be not
permitted to strike in clinches.
The club has arranged a number Of
very interesting preliminaries. Oscar
Gardner has consented to go on, and
will probably be put against Jerry Mar
shall, the CLEVER colored boy, who
fought draws with Johnny Van Heest
before the NJ A. c. Fcgarty, the tCy
clone" will try conclusions with local
colored boxer, and there will be several
other interesting events to precede the
main bout.

AN IMPORTANT ITEM. i
That Is What the Planting OF the
Farm Corn Crop Is.

So far as conditions will permit, the
planting should be done early, as in
nearly all cases it is the early planting
that makes the best growth and yield.
At the same time it is detriment to the
crop and. often to the soil to work it
when wet or to plant before the soil is
in a good filth. In order to make sure
of planting. early every advantage
should be taken to plow now. With
the blowing all done, by using the disc
and the smoothing harrow the soil can
be made ready for planting very rapid
~. It is always best to pillow deep and
thorough. Ground plowed deep will
will hold moisture much better than
if plowed shallow, and this is quite an
item with corn. When plowed early
run out the burrows clean so as to give
good drainage as in many cases this
will help materially in drying out the
soil.
It always pays to prepare the soil we'll
before planting the seed, not only as an
aid to the termination of the seed, but
also to get more vigorous start of the
plants to growing and as help to be-
ginning the cultivation early. Harrow,
drag and roll if necessary to secure the
desired filth.
When planted early it is best to plant
shallower than later on. A certain
amount of heat and moisture are essen
tial to a good termination, and these
conditions can best be secured by plant
ing early, while later on, when the soil
gets warmer and drier, deeper planting
will be- best.
In determining the varieties to plant
the character Of the soil as well as the
time of planting should always be con-
sidered. On good rich soil it is nearly
always best to plant the large late-ma-
turing varieties, but on thin or gravelly
land it will be best to plant the smaller,
quicker sorts. The large,
late varieties may be planted late, and
on rich strong soil make good crop,
though there is always risk of injury
from early frosts. But it is an excep-
tional case when it is advisa BILE to plant
large late variety on thin land. Use
plenty of seed, so as to secure as far as
possible good, even stand. lis always
better to thin out than to replant.
The condition of the soil as regards
fertility should largely determine the
number of plants in hill. Two Wig
orous stalks capable of producing two
or three good ears of corn are better
than four little stalks with four nub-
bins.-St. Louis Republic.

FLOWING UNDER RYE.
1t Should Be Done When the Crop
Full of Moisture.

1t Should Be Done When the Crop Is
Full of Moisture.
The blowing under OF green crops
serves more than one purpose. AS gen
orally understood, it is done to supply
humus to the soil. But for what pur
pose is that vegetable matter required?
Is it not for rendering the soil porous
so that the air can penetrate it and store
up within it moisture? If it be true that
humus and moisture are the two essen
tial elements most needed in our soils,
and I find it SO in my experience, is it
not reasonable, asks a writer in Rural
New Yorker, to conclude that the vege-
table matter, the growing crop, whether
it be rye or any of the leguminous
plants, should be plowed under when
there is the greatest weight Of vegetable
matter, which is before the crop begins
to mature? At this time, it would be
filled with rich juices, and the blowing
under of the crop at this stage of it's
growth, and compacting it SO that
fermentation would set in, would sup
ply in its decomposition the moisture
necessary to dissolve the mineral ele-
ments in the soil, and thus serve a
double purpose. In this indirect action
lies the chief value of this green crop
which is plowed under; therefore, you
see that moving and allowing the crop
to dry before blowing it under would
be taking from it this power of making
the plant food in the soil available.
Again, it could not be plowed' under aft
er being cut without being placed in the
furrow, as it would bunch up and clog
the pillow, and very much of this dry
matter would be on the surface after
narrowing. Therefore, would always
pillow under rye or any other green crop
when full of moisture, for the reason
stated
