continue. One good result of the
work, of the station has been TIE dis
covery of the fact that in the Mesilla
Valley at least the supply of under
ground water is very much larger
than was considered possible. This
water is reached at depth of only
20 feet in some cases, and is well
adapted to irrigation purposes. Us.
ing steam made by the use Of wood 1t
was found that land could be irri-
gated at an expense of about IS cents
per acre. This was the case, too.

Notes Of Agricultural Advance.

Notes of Agricultural Advance.
Hampton Normal and Agricultural
Institute has introduced the teaching
of agriculture into all its courses, ne
cessitating the employing Of two as
sistant instructors in agriculture.
During the past summer there were
let out on the grounds of the Tus.
l;egee Station in Alabama 800 mul.
berry trees, with a view to making
experiments in silk culture in the
future.
Prof. III. NJ. Cottrell, formerly di.
rector of the Kansas Experiment
station, is now professor of agricul
ture in Ruskin College, located at
Trenton, Missouri. This college is
the educational institution of a large

tanned considerable prestige in Kan
sas. Missouri and adjacent states.
The Bureau of Plant Industry Of the
United States Department of Agri
culture has had an agent in Europe
studying the sand-binding grasses
and their management in Holland
Belgium, France and Germany. This
work is likely to have very important
results on the utilization of millions
of acres of drifting sand along our
seacoasts, lakes and rivers.
The North Carolina State Board OF
Agriculture is doing some work of a
very valuable kind. 1t has estab'
lished three experiment farms in diff
ferent parts of the state, two on the
light soils along the coast, and one
on the red Piedmont clay. Expert
ments are being carried on to test
fertilizers, cultural methods, rota
lions, and varieties of corn, cotton
and peanuts. Some Of the work Is CO
operative. This work is entirely dis
tinct from that of the state expert
ment station at Raleigh or of the hor

With all the solemn pomp and cere- many of Israel's ancient ritual, the Jew ish residents of Montgomery ushered in, at sunset last evening, the new year 566A Anno Mundi.
 As an anniversary of the creation of the world. the. Hebrew "Rosh Hossanah, "New Year." is ever an occasion Of marx ed solemnity and extreme devotion All business ceases, even domestic cares are laid aside, and the faithful In lsraei all over the world gather in their temples ~ this hour, to reflect upon the true aims oi existence, to take a retrospective glance at the deeds of the year, to forsake what Is evil and hold fast to the good.
 Services at Temple Beth Or were heio under difficulties. Although the magni- ficent structure was only recently ueoi- cated. it was found that several atera lions were necessary, and the spacious auditorium showed last night the preseiioe of workmen. Still the ritual dld not ap- near to lose any of its impressiVehess UT beauty. s .,. se--
 Rabbi A. J. Messing. Jr., read the ser. vice and delivered a brief sermone''e at the close. ,,u.,.. ,.aro ,iven hv the rabbins of the Talmud to inc occasion that called the congrega- tion together in this hour. The "Rosh Hoesanah," or New Year. was termed the "Day of Memorial" the Day of Blowing the Shofar." and the Day of Judgment. In dwelling on the significance of the Day of Memorial" the rabbi paid a touching tribute to those who had de- parted during the year and passed into silence and pathetic dust" Under the "Day of Judgment" the rabbi referred to the enemies of Israel, and said that "despite Kisheneff and Roumania, despite the delerium of the fanatic and the cry of the multitude, this imperishable people with inextinguishable life and immutapie traditions, passing through the fires un- scathed, trampled in the dust. yet never mingling with the dust into which IL was trampled. still lives-and, "behind the dim unknown, standeth God within the shadow, keeping watch above his own.
 The sermon closed with quaint cere, monial-the blessing over the wine-and the benediction.
 Services will take place this morning al e:3o a. m. at Temple Beth-Or and Raooi Messing will preach again.
 All business houses kept by members or the Temple congregation will be Closed today.

And as in the department investi- gation, with each attempt at explanation he manages to enmesh himself more deeply.
