Property Savers.

The fire patrol wagons Of New York
respond to 5000 alarms In q year and save.
It Is eaid, SO, 900. 200 worth Of property in a
year. For the maintenance Of the patrol
the Board Of Fire Underwriters obtained
the passage OF an act obllging all insurance
companies doing business in New York to
pay . per sent. OF their city premium re-
oeipts semi-annually AZ a AZ.
But the patrol existed before this. In 1885
the fire insurance companies paid $1,000
q year to q force OF four men; In 1880 1t
employed former members Of the volun-
teer fire department as night patrotmen.
In ls<s waterproof covers for merchandise,
in 1851 covers for roofs and skylishts, In
1884 q steam pumping engine for drying
cellars, were adopted; but the service was
practically voluntary.
Since the State has provided q fund for
the support Of the fire patrol, or rather has
provided the means for replenishing such
q fund, the work Of the patrol has been
carried forward more effectually and there
Ia at practically every fire q salvage corps
which seeks rather the protectiono OF menaoed
property thar the putting out Of the flames.
As the fire patrol Ia made up largely of
ex-hremen, the relations between the two
forces are friendly.
There Ii at an times q large waiting
list for employment In the fire patrol service,
the members of which have, practically,
life Jobs and are noteubjeot to the hazards
which confront members Of the uniformed
fire force.

Soil Moisture and Its Action
Continued from Page One.)

year or so crops were sown on them,
wheat principally, and it was found
to do well. In places where the rain
fall was less than twelve inches crops
of twenty-five bushels per acre were
raised for three years in succession.
However, this yield is higher than
was generally received, the average
yield being from eighteen to twenty
bushels per acre. 1t was found also
that crop of fifteen bushels per acre
could be produced where AS inches
of rainfall could be retained in the
soil, and that with six inches and
seven and one-half inches of rainfall
retained in the soil yields of twenty
and twenty-five bushels per acre were
received.
By experiments carried on by the
Utah agricultural experiment station
it is shown that where the soil is
three and one-fourth feet deep, by
very careful cultivation twelve inches
of rainfall can be retained in the
soil. The soils experimental with
were of sandy nature, but not loose
like some sandy soils, and were from
six to ten feet deep.
1t is true CnaC a plant can get rola-
lively much more of the water that
is present in sandy soil than it can
in a clayey soil, and this accounts to
some extent for the raising of crop
where the rainfall is scant on sandy
soil. The farmers in the arid sections
of Utah do all of their blowing in the
fall, allowing the soil to absorb all the
rain that falls during the fall and
winter The blowing is generally deep
so as to loosen up the soil to a con-
siderable depth and allow the moist
ure to percolate down, for the soil is
not loose, sandy one. After growing
wheat successfully for number of
years the farmers tried other crops.
such as alfalfa, vetches, etc., and with
good results. Later root crops were
tried and were found to be paying
crops. So believe that in the course
of few years many of the sections of
Central Washington which are now
considered too dry for farming will be
plowed up and made to yield paying
crops.
