JAPAN AND RUSSIA
STILL NEGOTIATE

London, Jan. 17.-In what II asserts
to be an authoritative statement. the
Graphic this morning announces that
The negotiations have arrived at a
stage leaving two points upon which
neither Russia nor Japan is inclined to
yield, and as to which no means of q
compromise have yet been found. Both
these points concern Manchuria. and
their acceptance would not in the
slightest modify the legal status quo
or change the administrative situation
1n Manchuria. but Japan insists that
they be embodied in a treaty between
Japan and Russia. while Russia. as a
matter Of amour propre, refuses to ac-
cept such dictation at the hands Of
Japan. Much. however. is still hoped
from the Cars influence"
che statement adds:
"Of course any attempt OF Russia to
increase very largely her naval forces
In the East by moving her Black Sea
or Baltic fleets would make war n
question Of only few hours"
This statement seems to be borne out
by the Associated Press report from
Toxic yesterday that Japan had re-
ceived Russia's communication saying
that Russia would respect the rights
and privileges already acquired by the
powers in the case OF the establish
ment of foreign settlements. which
shows that negotiations are now con-
tinuing on the question Of Manchuria.
The Times Toxic correspondent says
that in recent speeches by publicists
the claim was made that Japan is fight
ing for Anglo-Saxon ideals in Asia. In
stead OF military despotism. and that
the Toxic journals rejoice that Amer
lea is now In the same camp with
Japan"

FARMING MATTERS.
The Campbell Process.

There Is no question that ii what Is
known as the Campbell process of cul-
tivation is carefully and properly fol
lowed, land on the semiarid plains of
Kansas and Nebraska and also on the
more arid plains of this state can be
made to yield large crops. In favora-
BILE years the yield can be made as
great as In the humid districts of the
Mississippi and Missouri valleys, and
the average of all years would be as
high here as there.
This process consists OF plowing the
soil as deep as practicable and at the
same time packing it at a depth of
something like two inches beneath the
surface. The purpose Of packing the
loose earth turned up by the plow is
to close all the channels of evapora-
tion and thus retain in the soil, the
moisture already there.
When the time comes for putting in
the crop, only the surface is stirred
with plow. leaving that at greater
depth untouched. This suffices to give
the seed root and strength to pene-
trate to the deeper soil, where the re-
tained moisture is ordinarily sufficient,
in connection with what falls in sea
sonal rains, to produce large yield.
1t is mechanical process (which re-
quires care, but no great amount of
skill, the packing being done by means
of small roller that passes over the
ground and gives the result desired.
The increased yield a great deal more
than compensates for the slight in
crease in trouble and effort to prepare
the ground in this way.
This process was discovered by
Prof. w. H. Campbell of Lincoln, Ne
braska, and he has given many years
to its development and introduction
1t has been successfully applied in SO
many places that there can be no
doubt of it's practical value in Kansas
and Nebraska, and there is every rea-
son to believe that equally good re-
sults-considering the smaller rainfall
would be produced in the. eastern
part of this state. Professor Campbell
is convinced that the plains of eastern
Colorado can be made to produce large
crops Of grains by this method of cul
tivation; and if results should show
this view to be correct, this adoption
Of his process would be reclamation
of our arid lands surprising anything
that could be accomplished by all the
irrigating bitches that could be con-
structed.-Denver Republican

Washington, Jan. 17.-In response
to petitions filed by citizens of Sa-

extension OF the San Isabel forest re-

ed to-day that an examination OF the
proposed reserve by the forestry bu-
reau developed that considerable part

these lands will be restored to the pub
lie domain. The lands in the proposed
reserve found more valuable for agri-
culture than timber will not be includ-
cd in the reserve when 1t is created.

Your legislative committee recon-
mends that the Colorado State Grange
unite with the national grange in
urging Congress to provide by suita-
BILE legislation for: First, the improve
ment of the rural mail service: sec
ond. the establishment of postal saw
ings bank system; third, the submis-
sion Of an amendment to the constitu-
tion of the United States providing for
the election of senators by direct pop
ular vote; fourth, the submission of an
amendment granting to Congress the
power to so regulate corporations as to
prevent monopoly; fifth. the enlarge
ment of the powers and duties of the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
such an extent as to enable that body
to regulate railway rates and service:
sixth. the regulation of the use of
shoddy; seventh. the enforcement of
proper food regulations; eighth. the
extension of the market for agricultur-
al products: ninth, the speedy con-
struction of the ship canal connecting
the great lakes with the Atlantic
ocean; tenth, such a revision of the
fees and salaries of federal officers as
will place such officers on a basis of
equality with persons in private bus
mess who render equivalent service"

the enactment of the Brownlow road
bill into law and legislation for the
purpose of protecting forests. The
committee also recommended the es-

: At the evening meeting of the Colo
.rado State Grange at the Agricultural
College at Fort Collins. Professor w. L.
Carlyle, of the faculty, late OF the Uni
yersity OF Wisconsin. spoke pleasantly
OF the work of the Grange. and then
outlined his plan for his department
that Of animal husbandry. He said:
1.-THE average Colorado calf is worth
more than the average Iowa calf. After
this the advantage changes. Colorado
two-year-old steers are worth much
less than those of Iowa. Our two-year-
old steers would be worth $500. 900
more to the state every year II they
could be brought up to the standard
OF Iowa steers. Our three-year-o
steers would be worth $3.50. 900 more
every year II brought up to the stand
and reached by the Iowa stockgrowers.
BY using our native foods we can bring
our steers up pretty close to the Iowa
standard. This IL the problem OF the
new department OF animal husbandry." !"
