When Mr. Perkins died. about a year ego. no especial disposal of the Gar den of the Gods was made In his will. but q note addressed to his children and written on the back of an enve- lope, told of his wishes This note saids
 "It is my wish that my children give the Garden of the Gods to the City of Colorado Springs for park purposes"
 The Garden of the Gods was pur- chased in 1873 by Mir.

In May inc survey party will be transferred from Texas to Eastern Montana. where they win work during the summer months.
 The soil investigation of the Great Plain territory is slstupendous under taking. but 1t Is believed that the re- sults will justify the work and expen- ditures. Some of the results of the InvestigatIon in North Dakota follow:
 There were found in the large area covered by the survey no less than twenty-five distinct types and condi- lions of soil. The color, texture. geo. logical origin and surface topography of these different classes range from the productive ailuviAl bottoms. fre- quently capable of irrigation. to the rough, broken, grazing areas of the ''Bad Lands" region. By far the larg- CT part of the area consists, however, of the level or rolling treeless prairie. Here the different types of the Will Hams and Morton soil series constitute the great grain-producing belt of the dry land farming region of the Great Plains.
 In the field examlAations conducted particular attention was devoted to the study of the texture and structure of tho aoU aa daterrninfnR ita nolature- holding capacity and drought resistant properties and its consequent adapta- biuty to dry farming under semi-arid conditions.

Contrary to the general belief, unfayorable seasons of drought vii again occur and failure upon the part of the heavily involved farmer who places his sole dependence upon the success of a grain crop is certain to follow. There is no doubt. however. that the permanent Agricultural sef- tlement of western North Dakota is being effected. and although crop failures may be expected, the develop ment of agriculture upon stable and permanent basis Is to be anticipated. under which system the successful farmer will adops cultured methods applicable to the character of the soils and climatic condition, and will engage in the raising of limited a. mount of stock, the production of forage crops and dairy products. poui- try. etc. in connection with the rais- ing of grains, in order that he may tide himself over the effects of an oc- casional unfayorable season, with its resulting crop failures.
