FOR ARID FARMING.

President John A. widtsoe OF the
ton tells us that. owing to the inter-
est shown In the development of arid
farming, the authorities of the College
have decided to give a public demon
stration OF the work done and the re-
suits obtained on some of the Expert
mental farms.
For this purpose excursions will be
arranged for the benefit of those i'm
terested. to the Tooele County farm on
Friday, July 18th, to the Juab County
farm on Monday, July 18th. and to the
Iron County farm on Wednesday, July
18th. The demonstration in each case
viii begin at 1890 a. m.
We understand that specialists from
the College and Experiment Station
VIII be present to explain each expert
ment and give the results obtained.
The different varieties of grains. grass
es and trees being tested Will be shown
and their comparative merits as far as
determined pointed out. The varying
results of different rates of seeding,
uiiiel cilt u'PNhS VI pluIitillB anu ilethouS
Of handling the soil Will be carefully
explained.
The opportunities afforded to those
interested in dry farming, to receive
practical Information should not be
neglected. So-called dry, or arid,
farming is yet destined to work Won
ders in regions where the yearly pre-
clpltation is scanty. Only beginning
to the solution of the great problem
has been made. But the results obtained
have already more than doubled the
value of vast stretches Of land once
considered useless. The work is pro-
crossing rapidly, and no intelligent ag-
riculturist can afford not to keep in
touch with the discoveries made from
| time 10 time.

cnrnDREN's SUMMER SCHOOLS,

A dispatch from New York city an
npunces the opening OF summer schools
for children. The statement Is made
that IN some cases, school yards will
be turned into truck gardens and every
child who wishes win be assigned to a
plot which the child will cultivate under
instruction, harvest the crop and take
home the product of their toll.
This scheme the board OF education
has planned for the little poor. who are
compelled to stay In the city during the
summer.
For those children who do not like
gardening the board win open schools
OF manual training and art.
Why should we not do this in Utah?
The most opportune time for the study
OF nature, for practice in agriculture,
and for training in crafts and trades is
the summer season.
The long vacation is for most child
rem injurious. Excessive play or over
work is often result of the summer
vacation, And the period of supposed
mental rest is more usually o period
of dissipation of vital energy and over
exertion.
Our idea Is that summer schools In
the forenoon should be established In
most OF our school districts and that
the mechanic and domestic arts. ma
ture study and agriculture. should be
the only courses given. The instruc-
ton In these branches should however.
bo truly practical; that is, it should be
practice guided by knowledge, and not
merely a training of the hand without
training of the head also. The child
should be taught. not only to do, but
also TO understand what he does. His
work should be scientific, progressive,
and educational in character, and not
the plain drudgery of mere hand labor.
We think that such summer courses
would reduce the amount of school
work to be accomplished during the
nine months of the regular school year;
would keep the child's faculties bright
and his knowledge fresh for the regu-
lar opening of school in the fall; would
teach him much of outdoor life and la
Dor that would be beneficial to his
health, his habits and his attitude to-
ward work: and would introduce into
the curriculum OF the usual school per-
Tod, a strong tendency towards the
practical daily affairs of life that it is
now the aim OF educators to establish in
school courses.
The plan would make necessary the
employment of specialist in agricul-
ture or other nature work. in manual
think the money paid out for such pur-
poses would be one of the best invest
ments the state could make for the
efficiency of it's future citizens,

THOSE FIGURES AGAIN.

A short time ago the city Council
was asked for an appropriation for the
orematory amounting to about $4,000.
The majority of the finance committee
recommended that the appropriation be
made, but a minority report was also
presented. In which the Council was
warned against extravaganza in expen-
ditures, for the simple reason that the
revenue Of the City Is not sufficient to
meet the current expenses. Mr., Fern
strom declared that the contingent fund
would be overdrawn at least S225.000
by Oct. /. At the end OF the year
there would be a large deficit for the
next administration to face.
This statement was made in the
Council meeting on the End of July.
The defender OF NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. had
no other reply TO this than abuse. Mr..
Fernstrom. 1t said, is a Mormon as
II that had anything TO do with the
finances of the City. We asked the
Organ for the correct figures, if Mr..
Fernstrom had not given them, But in
vain. Abuse was tho only thing Of
fered.
linen we presented a financial state
ment which, set forth very clearly the
condition of the contingent fund, the
only fund from which the current ex-
penses of the City can be met. Five
mills Is the legal limit. No matter how
many other funds may have been Great
ed for special purposes, only five mills
can be used for the contingent ex-
penses. When the FIVE mills taxes,
licenses. fines. etc, are all counted,
there remains OF the years revenue for
current expenses only s164OoO, and, con-
sequently at the rate OF extravaganza
now In vogue, there will, at the end of
the year. be an enormous deficit in the
contingent fund. That was the show
ing made. and nothing the defender OF
graft has said hitherto has given any
hope OF more encouraging financial
condition.
We are told that the tax levy last
year was eleven mills and not five, and
that, consequently, the total revenue of
the City is much larger than stated In
the News article. But how does
that better the condition? The total
taxation for all purposes might have
been thirty mills, or fifty, But, no
natter what 1t was last year, or may
be this year. only FIVE mills can be
used legally for the contingent fund.
and If the organ advises its tools in
the Council to appropriate any money
In the special funds for the running
expenses, It simply advises them to
commit a felony. That is all.
But the dishonest effort TO deceive the
Taxpayers into believing that the City
has plenty of funds with which to oper-
ate the government machinery, when In
fact the only fund from which the
City can draw for that purpose is so
depleted as to be practically exhausted,
tells its own tale. If there were no
rotten condition to hide, there would
be no necessity for classifying by maxi
ing it appear that the City has eleven
mills to spend when the law allows
only Ave.

MOVEMENT OF SHIPS.

Tho rumors concerning the transfer
