wells has recently been studied By
biologists of the United States and
Florida geological surveys in connec-
ton with a general investigation of
the ground water supplies of the
state. A comparison Of some wells
that are shut off when not in use with
others that are allowed to waste with
out regard to waste shows decline
in the head or volume of water from
the uncapped wells after few years.
In localities where wells are far apart
the decline may be so slight as to be
unnoticeable; but where many wells
of nearly the same depth have been
drilled in the same town the amount
of water now flowing is DECIDEDLY less
than it was originally. This condition
is shown by wells at Jacksonville, ST.
Augustine. New Smyrna. Daytona,
Palatka and elsewhere.
Experience in other artesian areas
should serve as warning to users of
the Florida wells. In Indiana. where
water flowing out between the castings
of hundreds of abandoned gas wells
has been allowed to waste for years,
many of these wells have ceased to
flow. In California and elsewhere
farming districts once made fertile
by irrigation from flowing wells have
now become desolate through their
reckless misuse.
The exhaustion of the artesian
waters of Florida is not, perhaps,
imminent, but it is easy to under
stand that when the water flowing
out of the ground exceeds in amount
that supplied from its ultimate source
the flow will gradually diminish. and
that every we'll from which water
runs to waste lessons the common
supply of neighboring wells. Owners
are therefore urged to see that wells
are capped or otherwise shut of
when not in. use. United States

TIE HUNGER FOR LAND.

Drainage bitches in Iowa are simple
manifestations of general land hum
ger II is not different elsewhere. The
people have awakened to the fact that
the great public domain that offered
seemingly illimitable territory to the
generation that sang "Uncle Sam is
rich enough to give us all farm. is
practically gone.
Owners Of 100000 acres of land in
three counties Of Texas, in the Rio
Grande valley, are perfecting plans for
building an irrigating canal system
fifty miles long at cost Of one and
a quarter million dollars. the storage
reservoirs costing three-quarters Of a
million dollars. The storage system
will probably include a natural chain
Of lakes in one Of the counties.
Another big undertaking involves
the corporation OF the state of Flor
Ida and the purchaser of one-half mill
ion acres OF land in the Everglades,
and looking to the construction of a
series Of canals, one ten feet deep and
sixty feet wide, one eight feet deep and
sixty feet wide, two eight feet deep
and forty feet wide and number of
smaller ones.
In Louisiana two canals, each about
one mile long, will be dug at a cost Of
$4,000 to reclaim 1000 acres Of land
in the Belle PLANE drainage district.
These projects are indicative Of the
work which is to be done in the south
in bringing under cultivation vast
tracts of fertile land having either too
much water or too little water on them.

cess of reclamation is busily working.

j fArnER,s TRIALS.

Some years ago the state attempted
to gather vital statistics by reports
from medical men. This was the sensi-
BILE and proper source Of such infor-
nation for the doctors assist at .prac-
tically every birth and are the last lid
to the sick and dying. They know who
is born and who dies. SO the state
turned to the medical profession and
asked for reports. 1t failed to get them.
The physician neglected, or refused to
supply them He has never been forced
to do SO and az a cons equence we
haven't known much about births ard
deaths in Iowa outside the family and
the neighborhood. The physician seems
to have had as decided distaste for
reporting a death as he has to acting
as pallbearer
Now the state board of health, which
is composed of physicians, proposes
thru its secretary, that the burden of
vital statistics be laid upon the al
ready bent and burdened shoulders OF
the parent OF the new born babe who
has already paid or promised to pay
the doctor fee that would buy a
steer calf or pay six months interest
on $500. This secretary would go far

plOyed a sos A. week nurse a, physician,
