DRY FARMING IN THE WEST.

The experience OF J.. RI. Simmons.
who lives lei Manchester, Okla. In
doubling his wheat output. recounted
In The Star. deserves attention from
farmers living In a region Of scanty
rainfall. Mr.. Simmons made an un.
usually interesting experiment by
planting twenty-three acres o wheat
In the ordinary way and by preparing
fifteen acres adjoining with the lister
and subsoiler. The plowed field
yielded ten and one quarter bushels
to the acre, while the other produced
twenty and one quarter.
II Will be observed that Mr.. Sim
was merely using a modification
OF the Campbell system Of farming
which has been SO c~onspicuously sue
cessful on the Pomeroy experimental
farm near Hill City. Kas. Mr.. Camp
bell believes that the moisture can be
conserved by blowing deep and then
using a subsurface packer to make a
solid bottom four inches from the sur
face. Over this the earth ia to be
pulverized on the theory that capillary
attraction cannot draw the moisture
TO the surface 50 readily when the
dirt Is loosened and the particles are
not In close contact with each other.
The surface Is kept constantly
stirred up and pulyerized In order to
protect the moisture for the plant
roots. The series Of articles descrip-
tive OF the transformation Of Western
Kansas. recently printed In The Star,
tells OF the adoption OF these methods
In whole or In part by many western
farmers. w. f. Curtis. who visited
Hill City recently. reports that the
foliage on the Pomeroy farm equalIed
any produced by irrigation In Califor.
MIA. while the wheat, corn and o
toes We're simply perfect"
The Campbell method costs more
than the ordinary way OF farming.
But the results seem TO justify the
extra expenditure.-kansas City Star.

A RAILROAD ERA.

This Is the era OF railway building
In the southwest. With the compile
ton OF the southern trunk line of the
Santa Fe from Kansas City to the Pa.
cific coast, and OF the trunk line from
Galveston to connect with this line
at Texico. the Santa Fee will have
three main lines co%nverging In New
Mexico. This means great develop
ment for the territory.
Las Vegas has seen her hopes OF
another line OF railroad grow bright
and then dim again SO many times
that the people are not inclined to be
too ready to believe in the building OF
the line from Dawson through this
city to the FL ,Paso & Northwestern.
Yet the leading officials Of the road
say positively that 1t will be built.
The company is spending a whole lot
OF money In securing a short and easy
route and all signs indicate the inten-
ton to construct the line. 1t Is good
news on that subject that The Optic
has for It's readers this evening.
Chief Engineer Henning says that II
has already been decided TO come to
Las Vegas and that there Is no need
OF appointing committees to advance
that idea. But we, for one. dislike very
much to see the abandonment OF the
idea OF building down the Mora val.
ley. 1t Is probably true that the town
OF Mora cannot be reached without
coming over the mountains and estab-
fishing a grade sleeper than the com.
pany cares to have In its short line.
However, II our information is not al
fault. an easy grade may be establish

approach within four miles OF Mora

An attempt was made to determine If
possible the source of infection at this
place, and the cause of the epidemic.
1t is believed that the first case was
that mentioned as having died on Feb
ruary LIST. This boy lived in a house
which derived it's water supply from a
small stream flowing from the noun
tains, but passing around and between
by taro fields one of the cases which
we brought to Honolulu was taken
from this house, and the other case,
which we brought down, though living
in a different house, had used this same
water supply as had his two brothers
that died on March 18th of symptoms
indicating typhoid.
Thus all cases In this place, which
have shown typical symptoms of ty-
phoid had used the same water supply.
on the other hand 1t vas ascertained
that many other persons had used this
supply and have shown no symptoms.
The balance Of the food supplies were
placed in charge of the school mistress
for distribution, half of the drugs were
also left with her, and such directions
given her i'm writing as might be t.
their intelligent use. A few mattresses
blankets and pillows were also left as
1t Is not improbable that further cases
may develop.
The patients We're placed on filters
and with great difficulty were carried
to the landing place. They both stood
this transportation well. The entire
party together with the father and
mother of one Of the patients boarded
the ''Likelike" about p. m.
The embarkation was exceedingly
difficult owing to the hgih seas. AL
persons, including the sick had to b.
slung on board the boat by a derrick
There We're no accidents, however, and
the sick did not appear to suffer un
J duly.

CONTINUED from page fve.)

We arrived at Honolulu at a. m.
March 29th, and the patients upon tele-
phonic instructions by the President of
of the Board of Health were taken to
the Queens Hospital in the Police am
bulance. Their condition was practi-
cally the same as when seen at Pele-
kunu.
The attitude of the trained nurses,
Miss flaming and Mrs. PhilbrooS. and
the soldier volunteers, Sargent Ander-
son, and privates Galway and Eakin
of the u. S. Hospital corps, and pri-
Yates Parke and Sydner of the Artil-
lery corps was most admirable, they
performing all duties with cheerfulness
and efficiency under most trying cOndi-
lions, the trip having been exceedingly
rough and the roads and means of em-
barking and disembarking being most
primitive.
1t is believed that malaria Of a Sc
we're type is present at Halawa and Pc
| lekunu, and that at Pelekunu at the
present time typhoid exists.
These diagnoses can only be made
with certainly after meteorological ex-
animation Of the cases. The condition
4 however is due to either malaria to
which has been added a typhoidal in
fection, or to one of the most pernici-
Gus types of malaria. Aa said above
this can be determined by bacterologH
, cal examination.
A tabulated report of all cases ex-
amined Is submitted.

desires TO thank both the Senate and
the House for their prompt appropra-
ton and to extend his sincere appre-
citation to DR.. Yost Secretary Atkinson

UNIVERSITY RUDGETS-

The announcement is made that Cornell
University has determined to increase its
charges to students particularly in matricula-
ton and graduation fees, by which means 1t
hopes to swell its revenues to the extent of be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 a year, which will
be practically equivalent TO adding another
$1,oOOOOO to its productive funds. Correspond.
ing action has from time to time been taken
by other universities, and we shall not be sur
prised to see the process continued hereafter.
From some points Of view it is doubtless re-
grettable. From others it seems just, and from
still others 1t seems inevitable as a last re
course. AS at present constituted and conduct
ed, the great universities must have more
money, and if they cannot get it through gifts
and endowments they must get it from their
students. The justice of the latter course is
strongly urged, upon the ground that even
when paying these increased fees the students
will still be getting far more than they pay
for The average cost Of educating a student
Is considerably more than the amount which
he pays in tuition fees. To that extent the
university is a charitable institution, and de-
serves, as it absolutely needs, support from
endowments. But, as 1t is educating young men
who In general are at least self-supporting and
who would resent being classed as paupers
recipients Of charity, it seems to many OBJ
servers only fair that the students should pay
at least larger proportion of the cost of edu-
eating them.
The question will arise, however. in the minds
Of some whether the necessary balancing of a
university budget could not and should not be
effected in some other way than by increasing
fees or calling for additional gifts. Would it
not be possible to do it through a readjustment
Of expenditures. or through making a larger
proportion of the university's funds productive
for income? Fine and costly buildings are
doubtless desirable for great university and
elaborate courses OF instruction, also costly,
are essential. But there is little credit in hav-
ing splendid buildings with no income for their
adequate maintenance. There is little business
wisdom or business morality ia locking up most
Of an institutions funds In unproductive plant
ana thus leaving It too small an income for
