more reasonable as the years pass. In
the first place the section in which
the White House stands is by no means
what it was a generation ago. The
growth of the city has carried the best
residence section farther and farther
away from the historic old location. At
one side of the White House stands
the treasury, and at the other the huge
pile occupied by the state, war and
navy departments.
The White House is at best semi
public building all the time. During
certain hours Of the day it is opened
to visitors, who may wander-provided
they are equipped with the easily-ob-
tanned cards-thru a large part of the
structure at will. The part Of the
structure In which the real privacy OF
home may be maintained is re-
stricted and in many ways unsatisfac-
tory. 1t is small wonder that the
stress of the White House should
yearn, as more than one of them has
done, for the privileges Of a home
which should be her own, free and Sc
cure from intrusion and interference.

THE NEW AMERICAN FARMER.
(Herbert N. casson in Review of Reviews)

Iowans as a King Midas of the corn
field. He has shown them how to
grow ten bushels more per acre, by
using a better quality of seed.
| A Rich and Prosperous State.
| First in corn, first in farm ma
chinery, and first in the number of her
| banks! That is Iowa. There are a few
| of her villages that have no banks, but
| they are conscious of their disgrace.
They feel naked and ashamed. In all,
| there are as many banks as postoffices,
very nearly; and they are crammed
with enough wealth to build three
Panama canals.
The pride of Iowa is Des Moines, a
city of farm bred people. 1t is SO
young that some of its old men re-
member when wolf hunting was good
where its one sky-scraper stands to-
day. 1t has no history and no SOU
venirs. A little while ago a lot Of in
dustrious people came here poor. and
now they are prosperous and still busy
that is the story of Des Moines in
sentence.
In the main hall of the five domed
capitol at Des Moines is a life sized
painting of a prairie wagon, hauled by
oxen. In such rude conveyance as
this most of the early settlers rolled
into Iowa, at a gait of two miles an
hour. But there are no prairie wag-
ons now, nor oxen. Ten thousand
miles of railway criss-cross the state.

these Iowans pay the total self-govern
ing cost of their commonwealth by
handing over the price of the sum-

To see the new farmer at his best,
went to Iowa. NO other state has in
vested so much money-S6O, 900, 0O0--in
abor-saving machinery; so that it may
fairly claim to be the zenith of the
farming world.
There are 10000 women and 100000
men who have made farming profess
sion. They are producing wealth at the
rate of $500,000,000 a year, nearly $1,000
apiece. How? BY throwing the burden
of drudgery upon machines.
Iowa is not so old. She will be
sixty-two this fall. She Is not so large.
Little England is larger Yet. with her
hog money she could pay the salaries
of all the monarchs of Europe, and
with one years corn crop she could buy
out the harvester trust, or build three
New York subways.
When the Indians sold Iowa to
Uncle Sam they got about s cents an
acre. To give the price exactly, to
cent. 1t was s2,S77,574.S7. When this
money was paid there were statesmen
who protested that it was too much.
Yet this amount was less than one
quarter of the value of the eggs in last
years nests. Every three months the
Iowa hen pays for Iowa.

A Farmers College.
In a small, out of the way town
called Ames came upon a farmers

fed the wild deer and wild buffalo in
the days of Andrew Jackson. is a col
lege that equals Princeton and Vassar

It's farm machinery building is the
largest of its kind and it is a curious
fact, showing how new the new farmer |
is, that the professors in charge of this |
department are obliged to teach with |

published under the title "The Rela-
ton Of the Southern Appalachian
Mountains to Inland Water Naviga-
ton" as Circular 143 of the Forest
Service, and can be obtained free by
writing to the Forester at Washington.
The initial cost of these reservoirs
would be greater than the works UNI
der the present system, but the authors
of the circular say that the storage
reservoirs would give the relief. both in
regard to navigation and to floods,
which the present projects fail to sup
ply and they point out that the relief
so gained would be permanent, whereas
under the system now in operation
there is a continuous expense in dredg-
ing the channels which become clogged
with sand and silt washed down by the
spring floods, especially from the I'M
forested areas around some of the riv
ers.

Flood Reservoirs.

A plan has been proposed to stop
forever the costly spring floods at
Pittsburg and other places along the
rivers which drain the Appalachian
Mountains. These annual devastations
are so certain in their recurrence that
they have come to be considered all
most inevitable. All the efforts of the
government with dams, restraining
walls, and other engineering works
have proved inadequate to control the
streams when they have been swollen
with the melting winter SHOWS. On the
other hand, the government projects
have proved unavailing to maintain the
same rivers at a depth great enough
to permit unhampered navigation later
on in the year, when the flood waters
have spent themselves. This latter
trouble possibly causes a greater fin
arcial loss to the south than the floods.
but as it is not concentrated into a
brief spectacular outburst, less Is
heard of it thru the newspapers. It
was, indeed the problem of navigation
that gave rise to the present scheme.
1t is now proposed to go to the seat
of the evil-to the headwaters Of thu
rivers-and apply there two remedies:
First. the maintenance of forest COW
so that it will not shed all the water
from its surface at once but will soak
it up and release It gradually; sec
ond, to establish storage reservoirs at
strategic points which will retain sur
plus flow when 1t IS not useful but
only does damage by being allowed to
run free, and will pay it out, little by
little, later on, when 1t is sorely need
ed.
The United States has spent $50, 000,-
900 to improve navigation on the rivers
which have their upland sources in
the Southern Appalachians and work
already undertaken will cost at least
$50, 100000 before It Is finished. This
does not include the Ohio proper, which
is largely supplied with water from
these sources. on which more than So
100000 has been spent Despite this
outlay navigation is so precarious on
many Of these rivers, especially in the
upper stretches, during several months
every year that steamboat lines have
to suspend operations and many COM
panies have abandoned the field be-
cause with the light-draft vessels they
are forced to use they can not compete
with railroads, altho steamboat trans
portation is normally much cheaper
than railroad rates. The government
has striven for 4-foot depth or even,
in some places, for 3-foot stage and
been unable to maintain 1t turnout the
year.
Experts from the geological survey,
with the storage reservoir scheme in
mind. last year made a careful study
of the rivers which how from both
sides of this watershed. located reser-
voir sites, computed the amount of wa
ter they would hold, the heights of thu
necessary dams, and the periods dur
ing which the rivers could be main
tanned at various depths above their
low water levels during the dry sea-
sons. The results q this study are
