Desert and swamp Lands.

According to official figures, since the
reclamation law was enacted by Con-
gress in 1902 eight towns have been
built and 10000 people have settled
on what were desert lands. To prepare
the way for these settlers 100 miles of
branch railways have been built 1,267
miles Of canals have been dug, many of
which carry whole rivers, and forty
seven tunnels have been excavated.
1t is estimated that the territory EN-
braced In what is known as the arid
regions of the United States covers
6O0,0O0,000 acres. of which about co.
100000 acres are subject to irrigation
which, when properly supplied with
water, can be converted into farms
fully as productive as lands In the

Iowa Farmers Phones.

For the first time a census Of tele-
phones has been taken in the State Of
Iowa, and this has disclosed that there
are now in use do. 325 instruments. Of
this number 1O4,524 are classed as In
struments used in connection with
rural lines. That is, they are used by
the farmers of Iowa.
During the past few years the Gov
eminent Weather Bureau in Des
Moines has arranged for telephone dis
tribution OF forecasts, and a large per-
centage Of these farmers now receive
by telephone every morning the fore
cast of the weather for the coming
thirty-six hours. This, In fact, has
been one strong incentive for installa-
ton of telephones in the homes of the
farmers of the State.

His first resting place was the United

smotheringly hot. He sought relief by
opening the windows, but the tenpera-

read of the awful temperature in Amer
lean hotels and got the notion that his
room was lined with steam pipes. A
critical search for the lever to shut off
the heat failed. Suddenly he esped a
doorstep and at 1t pulled and tugged

growing hotter.

call for help. Over the electric push
button was a notice: zone push will

puzzle. In Europe he knew boots and

pushed and took chances. Luther, as
black as the ace Of spades, responded.
Pointing to the unoffending doorstep
Gilmore said: 1T doesn't work"
Luther looked woozey. Frank walked
over and tapping the step with his fin

times and it doesn't work - Luther,

senses came back and he shut off the
heat; and the actor gradually cooled

sweet Potato Growinr.

The following suggestions about
sweet potato growing are from a Vir-
ginia lady: Sweet potatoes succeed
best on a deep and rich sandy soil with
warm exposure. The ground should
be well plowed and narrowed fine. In
each hill plant two sets, covering about
two Inches deep, and as they grow keep
drawing dirt around them. They are
among the very best vegetables for
table use. Select a bright. clear day
for digging let them dry day or two.
then place in boxes with paper with a
small quantity of slaked lime among
the potatoes. Keep during winter in a
storeroom.

Spain that the succession is 50 early
