Preserve the Small Farms.

Senator Paris of Montana, in company with Guy E. Mitchell, secretary of the National Irrigation association, called upon the President to discuss the various measures before Congress affecting Mon- tana, Colorado and South Dakota, and allowing homestead entryman to take up a square mile of land Instead of 16O acres.
 Senator Gibson stated to the President that he believed a 640-acre homestead policy was one of the most dangerous and menacing pieces of legislation which had been suggested. He said that it was proposed to open up the rich western lands in these large tracts and that 1t would result In the aggregation of great holdings, far worse than anything of the kind which had yet occurred
 No man can say at this time, Senator Gibson declared. what are purely ire deemable grazing lands, and what are agricultural or may shortly become agri- cultural lands. Great tracts of country are being cultivated today in small farms which ten years ago were looked upon as utterly worthless, and the womb of the future certainly contains even greater surprises. Under our increasing knowl- ege of conditions, improving methods of agriculture and the constant discovery and introduction by the Department of Agriculture of arid land crops we are making wonderful progress. and why, Senator Gibson pleaded. should we check this great land producing development by bringing upon our western country the course of further great land holdings. No man, he stated. can as successfully farm a square mile as he can 16O acres, and to give men $40 acres would mean that in most cases they would not try to farm it, they would not struggle with the soil and with new crops and sue ceed in growing anything upon 1t; 1t would simply support few head of cat tie or a small band of sheep. Senator Gibson told the President that he spoke from thirty years residence and an ac- tive and practical farm experience In Montana.
 160 Acres is Ample.
 Mr. Mitchell added that the objection

Huntsville. February 12-tSpecial.)-No meeting of representatives of baseball promoters in the several cities that ex- pect to form a league to succeed the Tennessee-Alabama league of last year has been called, but members of the Huntsville association expect 1t at any time. The meeting will probably be held in Chattanooga, President Head of the old league being among the leading ball lovers interested in the formation of the new league.
 Few of the cities proposed for member ship have the financial matters arranged yet. Nothing has been done here owing to the protracted illness of President w R. VanValkenburgh but the old associa- tion can secure all the money required as soon as 1t is known that everything is ready for the organization of the new league.
