During the current fiscal year which began with July, the De- partment of Agriculture will eX- pend fifteen million dollars. When one compares this sum with the four million dollars which was spent in 1902, one gets an idea of the rate att which this depart ment is growing. With the pos sible exception of the post-Office department, no other depart ment comes so near to the peO- ple and none touches the Ordin- ary citizen on so many. sides. The forestry service, the bureau of animal industry, the testing of foods, the study and prediction of the weather the development of new plants, the building of roads the crop repcrts-these are only a few of the many ways in which this department is helping the people of the whole country. One item of ten thousand dollars to be spent this year may result in the saving of millions. 1t will be used for testing plants lbeliev- ed to be suitable for paper-mak- inp

An order has been issued by Postmaster General Meyer at Washington directing all post masters to unite with their io- cal school authorities, with the view of adopting the most ef- fective method of instructing school children as to the postal service. Particularly the prop CT addressing of letters. and the importance of pacing return cards on envelopes. Postmasters are also directed to arrange, if possible, to deliver personal talks to the pupils and give teachers access to the postal guide and the postal laws and render vthem every assistance in securing nec- essary information.

OPEN THEIR DOORS TO WOMEN
German Universities Now Admit Stu
 dents of the Fair Sex.

The universities in Saxony and in the southern half of the empire-Ba- varia, Baden and Wurtemburg-have all opened their doors to female stu dents. and granted them all academic rights, matriculatlon, graduation, etc. Others admit them only as visitors to lectures. but refuse to them all other privileges. The University of Berlin has adopted compromise, refusing matriculation to women, but allowing them to attend courses of study as wis itors, and also, with the approval of their instructors, to present them selves as candidates for the examina- tions leading to the doctors degree.
 During the last winter the 21 Ger man universities enrolled 32O matricu- lated women, and 2,504 female vis- itors. There was an increase over the preceding winter of 35 matriculates and of 399 visitors. The matriculates were divided among the eight universi. ties, where they are allowed entrance, as follows: Munich, 125: Heidelberg, 50; Treilburg, 53; Leipzig. 38: Jena. 70; Tubingen, 9; Wurzburg. 6. and Erlangen, 4.

Just weet Of Yuma, Arizona in the alluvial
food plain of the Colorado, lies a little farm
OF - acres which on May |, 1903, was virgin
bottOmland, covered with saltweed, arrow
brush and cYeosote bushes. The original
purpose of the tract was for planting selected
varieiirs of date palms imported by the L. =.
Department OF Agriculture from the Old
World. The Tx peri naent station, May >. be-
gan preparing the ground, and on HAY 20 the
work OF ieyellinG, bordering and irrigating
the tract and the planting Of Is. palms. was
completed.
TIE LIAM OF WORK.
RecognIzing however, that a farmer with
his living 10 make meantime, cannot afford
20 wait for an orchard 10 come ;ntO bearing,
il was planned to plaut crops for quick re-
turns between the tFee-rows. thus putting the
WORK on n feasible basis from the small farm
er's point Of view. In order TO econOmiZe
ground the irrigating borders were SO placed
as to coincide with the rows of palms, thus
utilizing space otherwise usually wasted
The tract was divided by the borders into
lands, for the most part one-half an acre in
size. lrrgating water from the Colorado
Valley i. q T:-Can;ll was obtained in the Gus
tomary manner, and e. l.. Crane, himself n
Yuma Valley farmer, undertook the care. of
what was uickuaIDed our play farm"
In size, aS we'll 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, cOnlpara-
lively little attention being given to vege-
tables and fruits Witllal, the cost of levelling
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
irTigatinE system now under construction
will be about S3I0 an acre annually for ten
years. To meet these and other heavy items
of expense in connection with the establish
ment of Il farm in this region, intensive crops
OF u more reDluncrativc character than those
now in vogue, are essen ti;ll.-lt, was partly,
therefore, as an object lesson bearing upon
these financial aspects Of the general stua-
ton, that this cultural work was planned.

ing on the west half OF the potato ground was

an extent as subsequently to require - days

from the sesbania fertiliZed portion of the po-
tatoeS, this method of enrching the soil
proved very costly, - days mans tirae and 3
days teamwork being required to put the ses

tailed could easily have been managed by a
