The ..Equitation Order" {"

There is a ripple of not alto
 getherinnocent merriment am'ng i the younger officers in the army.
 It is over the presidents recent
 "Equitation Order," as it is gen.
 erally known. This order recit-
 ed the fact that all army officers
 should be proficient equestrians.
 and it directed thet all officers on
 the active list should put in 8
 certain number of hours 8 week horseback riding and that g re- port of their performance should
 be made. Of course there was some fun made of the order by
 the paragraphers, but there was
 really more than fun behind 1t, and the president did not issue it out of pure admiration for ath- letics and manly exercise. There have been many TetirementS in the army for age recently, but still there is a hump" in the line near the top, and there is a number of perfectly able and competent desk officers who, in the ordinary course of events, would serve long before being retired by the age limit. Both the president and the general t8ff want to see promotion lit@ tie more rapid, and the seemingly harmless Equitable Order is like ly to do deadly work. There is a numcer of stout, mild-mannered bald headed old generals who can hold down a desk in the war department or an armchair in the Metropolitan club, but who would be free shows on horse back. If they are actually com pelled to take to the saddle there will be money for the Washing ton druggist who will corner the court plaster market. Many of them would sooner retire volun- tarily, and a number of others will necessarily be reported as incapable of active service" if the active service includes sad dle work. Truly there are more ways of killing a cat than chok- ing it with cream

 To bring this ground under cultivation and make it habitable for a small farmer and his family, as stated above, therefore required cash outlay of about SiG0,N. in addition, in the average instance must be included team, wagon. plOW, harrow, having equip Gent, shovels hoes ard other small tools.

The amount of labor expended upon this crop was large for the area, especially at the transpantng time. One days team work in preparing the land and about 32 days, mems time, were required to bring it through, al- though the work was not heavy and could have beer largely performed by boys. The yield was low owing to the desert and unfer- titiZcd character of the soil, onions requiring give good results.

TIMELY HIijTS
 FOR FARMERS.
A Lesson iE Intensive Farming by F. H. Forbes, Director ard Chemist Of Agricultural
 Experiment. Station.
University Of Arizona,
 fle.t1s. t.rr II lA-

"~!iNtciiJ h. lF.f-
 Just wcSt of Yuma, Arizona, in tEe alluvial flOnd-plain of the Colorado, lies q little farm Of T:. acres WlstcR oN May l, 1908, was virgin bottOl4iand, covered with saltwecd, arrow brush and creOS0te bushes. The original
 purpose of tl.r tract was for planting selected valietics of date palms imported by the U. <. department Of Agriculture from the Old World Tie Experiment station, May ?, be- gan preparing the ground, and or May 20 the work Cf leveiling, bordering and irrigatng the tract and the planting of l52 palms, was completed.
 THE pLAE oF WORK.
 Recognizing, however that farmer with his living to make meantime cannot afford to wait for au orchard to come into bearing, it was planned to plant crops for quick Fe- turns between the trec-rOwS, thus putting the work on a feasible basis from the small farm er's point Of view In order to econonize ground the irTigatinS borders were so placed as to coincide with the rows of palms, thus utilizing space otherwise usually wasted. The tract was divided by the boIdcTs into lands, for the most part One-half an acre in size. lrT;gating water from the Colorado Valley r. $ l. Canal was obtained in the GUS tOmaTy manner, and l.. l.. Crane, himself a Yuma Valley farmer, undertook the care of what was ncsnamed our play f;t1n.'
 In size, as well as in the intensive character Of the work planned, this farm' is the Op- posite of the average holdings of this locality. The prevailing crops of the region are alfalfa, corn, barley, and fOrages in general, cOKlpara- tivcly little attention being given to vege- tables and fruits Withal, the cost Of leyeliing land in this region is high, rarely falling be- low twenty dollars an acre at current prices for labor and teams. Moreover, the cost, ex- elusive of maintenance, of the Government irrigating system now under construction will be about S3.50 an acre annually for ten years. To meet these and other heavy items of eX per SC in connection with the establish ment Of a farm in this region, intensive crops of a more remunerative character than those now in vogue, are essen tiai. It was partly, therefore, as an object lesson bearing upon these financial aspects of the genera! situa- ton, that this cultural work was planned.

ARRESTED AND CITY
HALL UNPROTECTED

Michael Towey, night watchman of
the City Hall, was taken into custody
last night at the municipal building
while he was on duty by Sheriff's Off
GERS on the charge of illegal registra-
tlon, and was removed to the county
Jail, leaving the City Hall without a
Waterman.
The arrest of the Waterman, it was
found, was on merely a technicality.
He voted at the primaries in one dis
trict and moved later to another part
of his ward. He registered at one place
and was registered by another mar in
the new district. He was held in 81, 800
bail. given by Peter r. Cunningham.
Indignation was expressed at the City
Hall today that the only man on duty
in the municipal building should have
been removed on a trifing charge,
leaving the hall unguarded all night.
Under Sheriff Charles Mason eaid to-
day that he was out of the city and
that the nan would not have been
taken out of the hall while on duty if
he had known Of the affair. 1t is I'M
derstood that the Sheriff's Office admits
1t has no case against the Waterman
and will drop the matter.

AS TO IRvINGTON TAXES.
West End Improvers Again Complain
of Unequal Assessments.

More charges that the taxes in lrvingtOu
were unequal were made at a meeting OF
the West End Improvement Association
last night. A. e. Helm stated that he sold
a house for t2,5GO and that the assessors
then raised the valuation to $500, while
other property Is undervalued by half.
Harry C. Herbert told of his talk with q
large property-owner, who complained OF
the AMOUNT Of what Mr.. Herbert thought
was his comparatively low assessment
on a large tract of land, while be was
selling the property off in lots at $500
each.
Another case was cited where a man
purchased from 4 large property-owner q
small tract Of land in the centre OF tha
large tract. The assessors promptly as
sessed him In full. while they continued
to assess the big property-owner for farm
land at a much lower rate.
Still another case was told of q large
property-oWne whose land was assessed
higher than another large property-own-
er's, whose land was really more valu-
able.
The alleged inconsistencies of the various
courses which the assessors are said 70
take In placing values were referred to. A
man owning a lot was assessed at SO q
front foot, II was said. while his next-door
neighbor, with a replica of the other mnn's
property, was assessed at $40. The cases
were referred to the special tax COMMITTEES.
Albert ]. Lacombe made a report of tia
last meeting Of the Essex County Fsdera-
tlon of ImproveI;ent Associations, Of
which the West End Association Is q
member. He believes. he said, that the
federation Is capable of development into
a useful body.

SWEENEY, DELEGATE
TO ATTEND CONVENTION ON
INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.
Former Judge Heading a Movement to
Promote New Jersey Organization.
A Benefit to Young.

A society for the promotion Of Industrial
education in New Jersey, or a State branch
of the national association having the same
scope. win he formed in Newark the latter
part of this month In time to send dele
gates to the national convention.
Former Judge Algernon T.. Sweeney has
been appointed by the national society as
chairman Of a local committee of organi-
cation, and he Is now in correspondence
with the national vice-president, M. w.
Alexander, with a view to having Mr..
Alexander attend the organization which
will be effected at the University Club
before December l. Mr.. Sweeney will be
"a member Of The Newark committee
scheduled tc 20 to Chicago to the national
convention December 81, soon after or
ganizatioa, to get a line of the State
work recommended by the national or
ganizatio1. When seen today he was
enthusiastic about the outlook for the
work in New Jersey.
While / cannot state yet what means
we will take for accomplishing our pur-
pose,' he said. 'it is safe to state that in
general the operations of the Massachu-
sets society, the first one founded, and
out of which the national movement grew,
will be followed. i can say in a general
wa7 that the New Jersey society will ac-
complish similar work, varying from that
of the Massachusetts organization mainly
as dictated by the varying industrial con-
ditions of the two States.
II wan to say that l approach this work
with the utmost eheerfulness for the rea-
son that l think Industrial education has
been very much neglected to the detriment
Of people throughout the tcountry. Speak
ing personally from my own experience,
more boys and girls go wrong from lack
of proper industrial education than are
saved by all the remedial agencies put TO-
Gether.
Boys and girls who are healthy arc
bound to nave a certain surplus activity
that. If not properly directed, will lead
to trouble. 1t Is the States duty to pro-
vide them with some instruction leading
naturally to their bealthful and helpful
employment"
The committee on organization com
prises, besides Mr.. Sweeney, George r
Howe, of Carter, Epwe & Co.; Frederick
J. Engel, president of the jewelers.. Union.
Peter Campbell. president of the Board OF
Trade; Charles r. Cotton, director Of the
