Speaking of Irrigation Schemes.

Country Gentleman.
The idea that the agriculture Of this coun-
try needs more territory seems TO us utter
rubbish. Demand increases prices: II farm
land were in demand. it would have risen
in price steadily, and would continue rising.
When the Riowa lottery in Oklahoma was
over, about half the awards were never
claimed. What all these boomers want is
sites for mushroom towns 10 be sold at the
top notch. The farm lands east Of the Mis-
sissippi and Missouri would give plenty Of
scope for all would-be farmers for genera
tions to come. If the new land were in real
demand. the whole condition Of the matter
would be radically changed. II is not in
demand, except by people who can get IL
free, and mostly for speculation at that.

der the new or old rule as the owner may
elect. This provision. II is expected. Will

Another objection to the new rule Is
that it will cause no end OF trouble
through time allowances being given to
smaller boats. The old rule had a pro-
vision that yachts built after 1896 should
be rated from the top OF the class and
receive no allowance This caused yachts
men TO build up 10 the limit and each
year time allowance figured less, as tho
old boats were dropping out OF racing.
Now boats built prior 20 the adoption OF
the new rule will receive time. and IL will
be some years before this troublesome
factor Is done away with. Whsn Designer
