against him by Mr.. Bowen, are the
outcome of the Loomis- Bowen contro-

to Secretary Taft, made public to-
night, approving Mr.. Taft's report on
his findings and conclusions 10 the
case. The president scathingly ar

Secretary Wilson for enforcing the
law as it stands, yet the measure is
obnoxious and should be done away

"As regards cattle from the western
range country, representatives of the
trans-Missouri roads claim that the
fastest practicable schedule between
points where cattle al be properly
unioaded for feeding and watering is
from thirty-two to thirty.four hours.
Therefore to compel Observation-Disclosures
at the end OF twenty.eight hours means
that in many cases the cattle must be

Inadequate. This law. like many
others, may be ali right in theory but
it works badly in practice"
An extension of the time limit is also
favored by the Drovers Journal in
these pertinent remarks:
"Secretary Wilson expresses the be-
lief that better railroad service ha,
resulted from the order compelling the
unloading of stock every twenty.eight
hours on the trip to market and that
by reason of cattle being given a
chance t O feed. drink and rest the
shrinkage on the trip to market is les
sened. This latter proposition is a
theory that will require a thorough
test before many livestock shippers
can be convinced of its virtue. 1t Is
safe to say that a great majority Of
farmers and shippers will argue that
cattle will shrink much more from the
excitement of being unloaded and re-
loaded at the end OF a twenty.eight
hour run than they would to make thu
Vi on to market if they could be
landed there in another six or eight
hours and take their fill after landing

''If shippers felt confident that the

would submit to the delay of several

Irrigation in the East.

That irrigation may be employed al
usefully in the humid portion of the
United States as in the arid section l:
announced by the Department Of Agri'
culture. A bulletin has been issued
showing the results Of many expert
ments in this field, in which steady
water source was drawn on as an
auxiliary to an irregular rain supply.
Near Poughkeepsie. N. Y, where
rain Is ordinarily bountiful for the
crops, a grower of strawberries has
found that the addition Of plant fol
irrigation enables him to insure per
feet stand and rapid growth OF new
plants. Spraying, and irrigation be
tween the rows, put in fine condition
for marketing crop Of berries which
for lack of rain at the critical moment
had colored and hardened without
sweetening.
Market gardeners in many other
parts of the East are having similar
results. The experts at Washington
believe that as the country becomes
more compactly settled and more In.
tense gardening is required 1t will
be found necessary to depend more
and more upon irrigation as an insur-
ance against drought and consequent
crop failure.
