WITH PRUSSIAN GOVERNMENT
Dispute Arises as to Use Made of
School Buildings in German
CaDital

BERLIN, Oct 6.-Confict has broken
out between the Prussian Government
and the city Of Berlin, which have re-
Gently been on unusually cordial terms.
The educational employees Of the king
dom recently wrote to the Mayor of
Berlin, requesting that the school build

tween 1t and other applicants.
In the Municipal Assembly tonight
Mayor Kirschner read a letter from the
Prussian Government informing him
that objection also was made TO the
use of the gymnasium halls bv the
Polish Turner'S The Government main
talned that permission must be ob-
tained from the kingdom authorities

MEAD
ISSUES REPORT
Tells of Fifty Years Of
Italian Instruction in
School Of Irrigation
MINUTE COMPARISONS
Reclaiming Tidal Marshes
and Hillside Protection
Subject for Observation
Berkeley Office San Francisco Call.

berkeley once San Francisco Call,
214S Center Street, Oct. 6.
Professor Elwood Mead, head of the
department of irrigation in the Univer-
sity of California, has just published
the first part of an elaborate report
upon Irrigation in Northern Italy
undertaken in pursuance Of plans out
lined by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.
For fifty years Italy has been the
school Of irrigation for the rest of the
world. France, Egypt, India and Aus
tralia have sent their ablest engineers
and economists TO study the system
which for many centuries has made
Northern Italy one Of the agricultural
stOrehouses Of Southern Europe. Italian
practice has exercised the greatest in
fiuence upon irrigation matters in 9TH
er parts Of the world. The standard
works on this subject however, were
mostly written in the days before the
rise Of modern corporation methods"
The elaborate studies which Professor
Mead has carried on in modern Italy,
therefore, as the agent of the United
States have the greater Importance be-
cause he has been able to observe mod
ern corporation methods and modern
governmental systems in ancient Italy
as she is to-day.
To report primarily upon those fea-
lures in Italian irrigation practice
which are suggestive to American ir-
rigators is Professor Meads particular
object. To know whether Italian COM
panies let the farmers manage the lat
eral canals, to know whether on a ditch
500 years old the farmers at the upper
end steal water from those at the lower
end, as they do in pioneer countries in
America, or II they do not how this
most natural human impulse is over
come; to know how the available sup
ply of water is divided among claim
ants; to know whether the division Of
water among irrigators is made by time
or by volume; to know the price irri-
gators pay for the water, how much
they use on different crops and how
seepage losses are lessened In one Of
the countries where irrigation practice
has reached it's highest state Of eff
cheney. These are some Of the objects
which Professor Mead set before him
self.
Professor Mead also observed with
anu lulS
reports upon methods of reclaiming
tidal marshes, both by dykes and
drains, and Of protecting hillside farms
from erosion. He tells of hill farms
steep as any in Pennsylvania, Ken
lucky or Georgia which have been con-
tinuously cultivated for many centu-
ries, but which are as fertile to-day as
they were in the beginning and not
worn out nor broken by gulleys, as in
many hilIy countries IN America, where
SCARED hiIlsides are the outcome of
careless and unshllful practice.
The valley Of the Po is first de-
scribed, and Professor Mead then dis
cusses irrigation In Lombardy and In
Piedmont. The first part OF his report
on his Italian observations may be OBJ
tained by addressing the Office of Ex-
pertinent Stations, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, Washington,
D. c. Two other parts are to follow in
the near future.

A Bread Fair.

We have bazaars for every sort of thing, needed or useless, and rummage sales have relieved some homes of things to be valued in others, but have you ever heard of a sale exclusively of bread? Such festival Is varied, prof itable and marvelously interesting.
 The attendants should be in the cos tunes of the regions whose breads they dispense. either for home delivery or at luncheon and supper tables. For example, at New England table colonial and Indian costumes may be worn, and for sale there should be frye n Injun" bread, or Boston brown bread" as 1t Is now called, also rye drop-cakes, squash biscuit, Parker House rolls and "Old Election Cake" which last is a raised bread made with spice and fruit and baked in loaves. Other distinctive features are "brewis" and crust coffee for children, and Yan- kee cream toast made with thickened "dip"-not the soppy bakers -bread-and- hot-milk combination of other sections. For the grown-ups real shortcake will be appreciated-not the tough sponge cake-with-white-of-egg abomination so prevalent in Philadelphia, but rich baking-powder or soda-and-sour-cream biscuit-dough, freshly baked and split and buttered, then filled with fruit or berries, and piled with whipped cream when sweet fruits are used.- Woman's Home Companion.
