LETTER TO
C. 8. BLOOD,

Dear Sir: If we sell Devoe to paint your
town, your road won't have so much freight
to handle.
Ittakes 1e gallons to paint fair size house,
and that house won't want painting again for
or 10 years. That's true in way; but peo-
pie you know, rather like fresh paint, and
til ey paint for nothing but looks sometimes
That house would take IL or ID gallons OF
almost any other paint than Devoe, aad would
have to be painted again in half that time
Ten years is a very long time for paint to
wear, and five isn't short
Which makes the most paint, a 10 or 20
gallon paint? or 10-year paint? But the
10 gallon paint is the 10-year paint, and the
20 gallon paint is the 5-year paint. Which
makes the most freight?
Ask your paint dealer which he'd rather
sell, and which he could sell most of. ASK
your painter which he'd rather laint;
whether good or bad paint is good for his
business; which is good paint, the 10 or 10
gallon paint; which pays most freight, and
which pays most wages. Which will you buy
yourself, the 10-gallon 10-year, or 20-gallor
year, paint?
Yours truly,
81 F. w. DEvoE & Co.,
New YORK.
PS E, w Barron Co.. Barton; Twomby &
Cotton, Barton Landing; F. Fl. Pierce

One thousand tons of -four were
bought from the Washburn Crosby
company in Minneapolis, and Messrs.
E, H. Hartman, president of the
Union Pacific, and Marvin Hughitt,
President of the Chicago and North

port this -four free to San Francisco.
This was equivalent to gift of $15,-
900.
1t was hoped that the Buford could
make Seattle port of call and with
such an event in view President
James ]. Hill was asked if he would
carry 1000 tons of Minneapolis -four
to Seattle free. He promptly wired

that the Buford could lot call at
Seattle and Mr.. Hills offer was not
available.

was completed and it was found that

The expense of the county supervi-

the $4,000 appropriated and the bal

for it. 1t will be such that all the

FIGHTING FAMINE WITH FLOUR.

Promising that the need in Kianpeh,
the famine stricken section of China,
is as bad as bad can be, and that the
lives of millions depend upon the
generosity of Americans, it is pleas
ure to set forth succinctly the follow
ing facts:
In addition to the $3.50, 900 in money
sent through the state department and
the national Red Cross, to the civic
and Missionary committees in Shang-
hal and Chinkiang, respectively, The
Christian Herald engaged to supply a
cargo of food if the government
would furnish the carrying vessel.
The war department detailed the
big army transport Buford for the
purpose indicated and that vessel is
scheduled to sail on April 80, from
San Francisco to Chinkiang, the latter
port being the distributing center for
the famine district and the head
: quarters of the missionary committee
to which the larger civic committee
at Shanghai has delegated the dis
tribution and expenditure of all food
and funds received from foreign
sources.
1t may be said, in passing, that up
to date, and exclusive of the Buford's
cargo, the $500, 900 sent by America il
two-thirds of the total OF foreign
relief.
When the Buford was assigned, The
Christian Herald solicited the servicet
of the commissary, or purchasing
department of the United State
army and, after many and satisfac
tory conferences by long distanc'
telephone between DR.. Klopsch an'
Com uissary General H. G. Sharpe
the whole matter of cargo and pur
chase thereof was arranged, Sill, 90

A Lesson in Intensive Farming by R. Ii. Forbes, Director and Chemist of Agricultural

JGUudIS
 Just west Of Yuma, Arizona, in the aliuvial flood-plain Of the Colorado, lies little farm uf 7.2 acres which on May l, l9GJ, was virgin bottOlnand, covered with saitWeedi arrow, brush and crpOSOte bushes. The original DurDOSe of the tract was Tor planting selected varieties of date palms imported by the U. S. Department Of Agriculture rom the Old World. The Experiment. station, May 7, De- gan preparing the ground, and on May 20 the work of levelling, bordering and irrigating the tract and the planting of l52 palms, was
 THE PLAN OF WORK.
 Recognizing. however, that farmer with his living to make meantime, cannot ahord ! to wait for an orchard to come into bearing, ' it was planned to plant crops for quick re- turns between the tree-rows, thus putting the Work on a feasible basis from the small farm CTS point of view. In order 10 economze ground the irrigating borders were so placed as 10 coincide with the rows of palms, thus utilizing space otherwise usually wasted. The tract was divided by the borders into I lands, for the most part one-haii an acre Tn size. lrrigating water from the Colorado | Valley F. & l. Canal was obtained ln the GUS tomary manner, and l.. l.. Crane, himself a Yuma Valley farmer, undertook the care of what was nicknameG our play farm"
 In size, as well as in the intensive character 1 of thc work plSnncd, this "farm' is the op- posite of the average holdings of this locality. 1 The prevailing crops of the region are alfaita | corn barley, and fOFageS in general, colnpafa lively little attention being given to vege- tables and fruits. Withal,ihe cost Of leveilng l land in this region is high, rarely falling be 1 low twent " dollars an acre at current prices for labor and teams. Moreover, the cost, eX- | elusive of maintenahcei or the GoVefnmeht irrigating system now under construction | will be about S3.50 an acre annually for ten years. To meet these and other heavy items l of expense in connection with the establish ment of a farm in this region, intensive crops l of a more remuneratiVe> character than those now in vogue, are essential. It was partly | therefore, as an object lesson bearing upon these financial aspects Of the general situu tion, that this cultural work was planned

The question of the scarcity of houses

weeks the offices of real estate men have
been besieged by house seekers eager for
any sort of a place which they might
rent. For every available cottage or fiat
there have been dozens of applicants.
The matter was deemed to be of such
ton last evening issued a letter to the
public urging that investors put their
money into houses and flat buildings. As
an indUceJhent the association agrees to
furnish free of charge suitable tenants
for all the new houses and buildings that
may be erected. The letter follows;
