pany has more than one hundred thousand in use.
1t will figure as test to establish the rights

legged that employees of the Consolidated Gas Com
pany attempted 10 change the slot machine meter
TO read for 81 a thousand feet instead of the 80
cent measurement, which had been installed after
the law went into effect. This attempt. it was
stated, was frustrated, and attempt take out
the meter was also defeated.
A somewhat similar injunction was also signed
by Justice BschOff, later In the afternoon in favor
OF Jacob Richman. Of No. 4& Sixth avenue who
was represented by Clarence J. Shearn Mr.. Rich
man asserts that when he offered pay the 50
cent rate for his gas for this month the Consoli-
dated Gas Companys agents refused to accept it,
and threatened, unless he paid for his gas at 81 a
thousand feet, they would stop ais supply and
take out his meter He sought the Injunction to
restrain the company from in way interfering
with the gas supply in his premises. Justice
Bischon made the writ returnable next Tuesday in

out Yesterday that, while injunctions had been

Dry EarTnin

The Campbell system of dry farm
ing, which was first tried in the semi
arid portions of North Dakota and
about which much has appeared in
newspapers and magazines within the
past year or two, is doing great things
for many portions Of the Western
States, where with a rainfall of but
ten or twelve inches per annum bumper
crops of corn, wheat beets and other
crops can be grown. This system of
crop culture is based on the conserva-
ton of practically all of the moisture
in the soil through a dust or surface
mulch, and under it as high as forty
bushels of corn to the acre have been
grown in North Dakota, fifty bushels
of wheat per acre in western Nebraska,
while better than twenty tons of beets
have been produced in Colorado. While
this method of crop culture has little
value in those portions of the country
where there is an abundant rainfall, it
does have tremendous import in all
territory where there is fertility in
the soil, but an annual rainfall Of less
than twenty inches.
