Seeks Raise for Uncle Sans Clerks

Unless these men and women are
granted substantial increases in salary
Immediately, Mr. Marsh holds, the
plans for the betterment of Washing
ton may as well be dropped.
He points out that many men who
are married and have families are
compelled to work along for from 5000
to $500 year. This means, he says,
that many men of more than average
intelligence and ability, caught fast in
the rut of government and municipal
service and unable or afraid to seek
more remunerative employment. are
making vain endeavor to maintain
life and support their families in COM
fort and responsibility.
AS result, he says, Washington is
facing housing famine, because the
working people cannot find homes in
which they can afford to live. He adj
vocates immediate action looking to a
general advance in salary for the un-
derpaid clerks. When their case has
been attended to, he says, so that
they have been made a self-supporting
and self-respecting class, other efforts
to beautify and improve the city will
be more easy of attainment.

Bindinq Alfalfa.

In recent years some prefer to bind
the alfalfa in bundles and shock the
same as wheat or other grain, The
advantage claimed for this method is
that it requires less help, since one
man may do the harvesting and put
the crop into the shock if help is
scarce; the alfalfa may be cut a little
greener, and the straw may cure and
keep better than when put up loose.
When bound and shocked the alfalfa
should stand two weeks or so until
dry enough to thresh, If put into the
stack, threshermen prefer to have il
loose, as bundles are more apt to be
damp and tough, but if fully dried
when stacked alfalfa should keep well
in the bundle, 1t is suggested to
stack with layers of straw between
layers of alfalfa, in order to take up
the moisture.

W WASHINGTON.-Every now and
w then a story appears in some
newspaper that Speaker Cannon is
aboutNto announce his retirement from
public life. Then will follow contra
diction from close friend of the
speaker
The frequency of these retirement
stories indicates that Uncle Joe" will
have the fight of his life next winter.
This does not mean a political fight in
the sense that the Democrats will
make 1t warm for him. it means that
the fight will be within the ranks of
his party on the floor of the house.
The insurgents" will make it warm
for Uncle joe" They made it most
unpleasant for him and his program
during the extra session. They did
not always sscceed in getting what
they went after, but they made a
showing of sufficient strength to cause
the leaders to take notice.
And what they did then will not be
a marker to what they will do next
winter, according to present indica-
tions. 1t is the knowledge of this that
has started the story that Cannon
will announce his purpose to retire
from congress at the close of his pres
ent term.

large Areas Of Land Popularity Sup
Grazing Purposes Converted
Into Prosperous Farm
Communities.
BY CONGRESSMAN F. w. MoNDELL
OF WYOMING.

Experience, extending over long
period of years, has demonstrated be.
yond question of doubt that with
careful and proper tillage, all of the
cereals, and large variety of vege-
tables, may be successfully and profit
ably grown in loan soil where the
average rainfall does not exceed Ia to
IS inches annually
The dry farmer should select loan
soil. Personally should select for
such purposes what might be called a
sandy loan, and this being done, sue
cess, with the rainfall indicated and
thorough tillage, is reasonably certain.
My experience with dry farming ex-
tends over a period of 20 years, in
which time / have seen areas popu-
larly supposed to be practically worth
less except for grazing purposes, con-
verted into prosperous farm communi-
ties. Some of the crops / have seen
raised have been phenomenal. Where
the location has been carefully select
ed and the cultivation has been thor
ough, recall practically no failures.
1t is my opinion that there are very
large areas which are still open to
homestead settlement quite as good
as those which have been settled up
on heretofore.
My own experience in dry farming,
has been under the ordinary annual
crop system, but l am firmly of the
opinion that ultimately, in this land OF
limited rainfall, we shall adopt the
biennial system now so successfully
practiced elsewhere. This system
consists of cropping one-half of the
the remainder. Under this system
dry farming, so called, is safer and

DRY FARMING EAST AND WEST
Well Tried System Of Agriculture and
Can Be Relied Upon Where
Rainfall is Scanty.

Dry farming may be relied upon
where rainfall is scanty. 1t is a we'll
tried system of agriculture, and is
based on scientific principles and the
practice of ages. Mr. Campbell has
systematized some very old practices
and has preached them to the despair.
ing farmers of the semi-arid west, un.
til aided by several seasons of exces.
sive rainfall. those regions have i'm
bided hope instead of despair, and
successful farming seems likely to be
extended over thousands of square
miles where ii would be impossible
without the dry-farming system. But
he has never preached it as a substi.
tute for rainfall nor has he ever held
out to those countries the deceptive
hope that the climate will ever change,
says Farm and Fireside.
The fates-or, as the ancients called
1t, "the stars"-have decreed that the
lands under the lee of the Rocky
mountains must always be content
with scanty rainfall. This does not
mean that great populations of happy
and successful people may not be
sustained there; but 1t does mean that
such populations must succeed in spite
of the aridity.
| In fact, the existence of this vast
arid region and the methods rendered
necessary by its natural conditions
seem likely to prove blessing to the
farmers of all the nation. Dry farm.
| ing has its lessons for the farmers of
the humid regions as well as for those
depending on irrigation. If twenty
inches of rainfall will mature crops
why should more be used when re-
ceived through bitches? Or If Is
inches can be made to do why use
more? Why not use the excess tc
help out the dried-up acres beyond
the present limits of the flow? In
brief the conservation of moisture in
the soil has one of its chief uses in
extending the irrigable area of the
nation by making one gallon of water
do the work done under more waste
full methods by two.
And over the entire country, where
rainfall is relied upon, the season is
an exceptional one in which droughts
of more or less severity do not occur
And whenever a drought occurs, the
remedy is dry farming, whether the
location be in Iowa or Ohio or Colo
RADIO. This present season has beer
one of widespread and long-continuet
droughts in some regions east of the
Missouri. Crops have been shortened
up in yield-perhaps by just the amount
which turns profit into loss-by lacl
of moisture. And yet there were co
pious rains early in the season. Dry
farming would have held these rain.
in the ground, and would have as
sured plentiful crops all over these
afflicted fields. Dry farming won
hurt anything in wet season; and i
is salvation in a dry one. Study 1t
1t is worth your while.

WILL TRY AMERICAN PLAN
Much Land in Arid Regions of Aus
traIia May Be Utilized for
Agriculture.

Australia resembles the United
States not only in size but in the fact
that large area has long been con
sdered unfit for agricultural purposes
owing to the meagerness of the rain
fall. The proof given by a Nebraska
farmer that railfall of II inches un-
der his system would produce better
results than one of double that amount
under the ordinary method, is of i'm
mense importance to both countries,
where so many million acres are in
the arid zone.
The American system has been
tried here by p. Pascoe, the apostle
and pioneer of dry farming in South
Australia, who speaks of 1t in the high
or, rather, as it is called here, of
soil culture, has been practiced in
this state for the last II years
by II. w. Peacock, the manager
OF experimental farms at Coolabah
and Bathurst, and an extended trial is
to be given to the two systems-the
American and the Australtan-a almost
at once. An area of 1000 acres is to
be devoted TO the former, while three
B lots of 80 acres each are to be set
apart to try the latter.
There does not appear to be much
difference between the two systems
The American method consists in keep
ing the surface under cultivation loose
and finely pulverized so that the rain
may percolate through to the compact
soil beneath. The Australian method
is to keep the dust at the bottom, the
granules of soil next and the clods on
top. The object in each case appears
to be the same-to deepen the soil and
lead to the free access of rain to pre-
vent evaporation, surface roofing and
the termination OF weeds.

When to Send Children to Europe.

When to Send ChIdren TO europe.
Some people wait so long before
sending their children to Europe that
the little ones are humiliated by others
who have already been there. Every
self-respecting parent will be careful
not to subject his children to this evil
dent injustice; at the same time all
unseemly hurry is to be avoided.
Some people argue that as soon as a
child can walk well and speak few
necessary French words, he should be
placed in a stateroom, next to a
private bath, and sent to Paris. 9th
ers feel that he must naturally lose
much at this age, and that the proper
time is between five and six, when
as an American-he has reached his
maturity.
Probably the ideal age is about four.
At four a child can easily do England.
France and Italy, and get home in
time for the first night at the opera
