Soil Moisture.
Riverview, Fla.

1t is very important, to every one
who cultivates the soil, that he should
understand how to conserve the mois-
ture in the soil and help to retain
it as long as possible. The following
article from the Agricultural Student,
contains much that is valuable:
One of the most important prob
lens connected with modern agri-
culture is that of soil moisture. 1t
is the most uncertain factor in crop
production. The absence of moisture
is perhaps the main cause of poor
crops. The Importance of water
to the growing plant can be, to some
extent, comprehended when we know
something of the amount of water
necessary to produce a ton of dry
matter in the different crops
Experiments have shown that three
hundred tons of water to one ton of
dry matter is conservative average
Of Our common crops. From this it
can easily be seen that liberal sup
Fly OF soil moisture is necessary in
order to get vigorous and healthy
plant growth. The presence Of water
seems to be necessary for the pro-
cess of n1trihcation and organic de-
composition to take place.
The deficiency of water in the soil
at critical times is not due to an in
sufficient rainfall, but rather to the
fact that the rainfall is so unequally
distributed throughout the year.
he soil is not able to store up and
hold enough moisture from the wet
periods to tide the plants over the
long dry periods. This raises an i'm
portant question:: Can we SO aid the
soil in storing up and conserving this
moisture that the plants will have a
sufficient amount when the long dry
periods come? Experiments and COM
mon observation have shown that we
can, or at least, that we can help out
to a marked degree
Moisture is lost to the soil in three
ways: I. By surface drainage. 2. By
underground drainage. 3. By evap-
grafton. If we can do anything to
prevent its loss by any of these
methods, we will conserve it in the

Honest Commission Merchants.
Editor Florida AgricultMist:

A little while ago l wrote letter
IN response or as an echo to a fellow
who complained that unless we could
get honest men to handle" our truck
and oranges that we were simply
slaves. J wrote in response to an
impulse to verify the slavery idea.
In that letter l also said that in
thirty years | had found one man, or
firm, that l. believed was straight
and honest. Naturally enough this
has "riled" the commission men, some
of whom may feel honest Meet these
men face to face and you'd have to
believe them good, honest fellows,
and my heart and soul goes out to
them in love and sympathy. I often
feel that they are better than I am
|, too, am mean, grasping and a wee
little bit awry if not crooked III some
ways and at some times, so that I
can see how it is with other people
Measuring. other peoples corn in our
half-bushel may not be fair to the
other man, but its the only way, or

Abbott asked little while ago, "Who
are the real criminals?" I answered
in Tampa Times, "They are the fell
lows III Hlgn pldCeS, SIT, Iney are
the knaves; the others, in the chain
gang and the pen they are the fools.
We are nation of criminals hunting
each other down." A student of
criminology said to me while ago:
did you know seventy-five per cent.
of our population are criminals, or
criminally inclined?" I said, did you
know that one hundred and one per
cent of 'em were out and out Grim
lnals? | then explained all but the
one and one per cent. business to
his satisfaction. I have not space or
time here and now for that.
No, its the game we are at, it's
the game of dog eat dog, of grab and
snatch, every fellow for self and the
devil for the hind man. 1t is neither
Christian or civilized. AS for eco
nomic or ethical intelligence, man has

Some caution is necessary as to the

When it is plowed under, it dries out
the ground by preventing capillarity
The practice should not be followed
especially in dry seasons. When ma

fuence will be more marked the drier
the season.
From the foregoing statements, it
can be seen that the capacity of Our
soils for moisture can be increased
the moisture can be conserved, and
by so doing we can greatly increase
our crop production. This is a great
problem, both for the present and
for the future
AS we come more and more to in

WANT THE OFFICE RETAINED
Pensioners Oppose Elimination Of Mil
waukee Pension Office

Kenosha soldiers who receive
pension are not in favor of the
adjustment of the Milwaukee pension
office. Several veterans Of the civil
war interviewed we're most emphatic
ally opposed to the movement. In
case this is done the soldiers will re-
ceive their pensions direct from
Washington instead of Milwaukee
and they believe that there would be
great delay and perhaps confusion.
There are perhaps one hundred
soldiers in and about the city who re-
ceiye all the way from So to $24 per
month pension and it comes with
great regularity from the Milwaukee
Office, in fact they could not ask any
better service and favor letting we'll
enough alone. If necessary all will
sign a petition demonstrating against
the adjustment of the Office in this
district.
Employees of the Office at Milwaukee
have been discussing the proposed
movement and it is estimated that
when carried out one thousand per-
sons will be thrown out Of positions.
Milwaukee is the eleventh office on
the list. Pension Agent Coe has not
received any official notice Of the pro-
posed change.

TO BEGIN A CRUSADE
Anti-Saloon League to Have Bills
introduced in the State
Legislature
HAVE PLANS MAPPED OUT

Temperance bills are already being
discussed as one of the issues of this
legislature, and there is no doubt that
a harder fight is to be made at the
present time to secure legislation on
this subject than has EVERGREEN made
before Wisconsin legislature.
Although the Anti-Saloon league,
which is behind most of the temper
ance legislation, is planning to sup
port a great many bills, the question
of local option will be the crucial test
as to this legislature stand upon
excise measures. AaThe Anti-Saloon
league will make it's fghthupon the
the Thayer bill, which is the designa-
ton now given to all measures which
provide for the adoption of local
option to small unit.
Two years ago AssemblymanT hayer
first sprung this interesting subject
before the legislature, and legislation
on this subject will sprobably always
bear Mr.. Thayer's name because of
the battle which the minister who
represented Gates county in the ses-
sion of 1905 made for local option
measure.
The bill which will receive the most
support will be measure which will
practically give to residents of city
blocks the right to says whether sa-
looms shall be withinEtheir limits. The
unit figure will probablysbe popula-
ton representation, butsthesunit will
be small enough so that almost any
city block can meet itssrequirements.
The Anti-Saloon league seems to
think that bill of this character will
probably pass the observation-disclosures
OF the very warm support (which is
being shown such a measure in all
parts of the state. The brewing in
terests are, however, prepared to
fight bill of this kind to the last
ditch, and it may be shat outside of
the insurance bills the lmost interest
ing fight in this Legislature will be on
the question of local option.

REFUSED TO ACT

State Board of Control Refused to
Recommend a Pardon for Battisfore
The Wisconsin State Board of Con-
troll has declined to act favorably on
the petition of Edward Battisfore,
who asked that the Board recommend
that Governor Davidson issue a free
pardon for Battisfore who is serving a
term of one year in the state prison
at Waupun. Battisfore was sent TO
Waupun from this county after trial
at the September term of the Circuit
Court. He was found guilty of taking
indecent liberties with little girl.
Battisfore had been in prison but
few weeks when he personally filed
an application for pardon asking that
he be released In order that he might
provide for his wife and other mem
bers of his family. The application
bore no endorsement from the officials
of this county and the Board of Con-
troll refused to consider it. 1t is now
probable that Battisfore will remain
II prison for the entire term for which
he was sentenced.
