FARM DRAINAGE

The Importance or significance OF
Farm Drainage has been spoken of a
great deal and there is considerable
literature on the subject already in
circulation. However, it is apparent
that the salient facts of farm drain
age and the absolute benefits to be
derived from properly handling this
problem on the farm have not been
driven home to the farmer
The reasons for this are many. One
of them is the inability of the farmer
to see in dollars and cents the bene-
fits to be derived from such an in
vestm lent. If he could once see actual
profits gained by draining his land he
would need no one to urge him to do
it, He may admit that there is a
possibility in it, but together with his
admission he entcrtains an idea OF
risk which must be Eliminated. The
old saying, Nothing ventured, moth
ing gained" does not, in the majority
of cases, appeal to the rural people.
The benefits to be derived from farm
drainage are numerous and have been
much written about There arc few,
however, which are of the more I'm
portant ones and may be mentioned
again. Pulverization
There is hardly farmer in the
country who has not experienced or
at least observed, what happens when
a wet soil is plowed. If turned over
in the fall, the weathering of winter
often disintegrates a great portion OF
it, But if plowed in the spring, after
a wet wintor season or continued
spring rains, the soil is left lumpy and
is baked in the sun. Proper drainage
would remove the excess of water and
leave the ground in an easily plow-
able condition.
With either a wet winter or rainy
spring we find the season (time from
blowing to harvesting) shortened and
frost is almost sure to catch some
crop. Late Spring
Late springs are eliminated where
the ground is well drained and the
conditions necessary for termination
of the seeds are brought on much
sooner. A water-soaked soil is a poor
place for seeds to start, due both to
the mere excess of the water and
more especially to the consequent
low temperature of the ground Wet
land resiSts the warming influence OF
the sun because of evaporation. An
enormous amount of heat is required
to vaporize the excess of water and
where no drainage is afforded vapor-
ization is the only means OF drying
the soil. Consequently, the heat which
should be used in warming the soil is
lost in driving off the excess of water.

ARGENTINA BEEF A MENACE

Prof H. w. Mumford, of Missouri,
spent six months of last year investi-
eating cattle conditions in Argentina,
S. A., and says that very fine herds of
cattle are produced in Argentina
without a mouthful of grain. These
cattle are fed simply grass and alfalfa
and were never in stable.
CRASHED mutton has gone from Ar
gentina to London market too fat to
sell. On one ranch of 100000 acres
there are 1860 cattle, 10000 sheep
and 1000 horses-all market fat with
out pound of grain. Most of the
cattle country is fiat and level and
the climate is ideal for growing, as
billiards. and severe weather are I'M
known.
Argentina is a real competitor of
the United States and has during the
past three years shipped considerable
more beef to Great Britain than has
our own country. The beef can be
delivered in London from Argentina
as cheaply as it can from Chicago.

At Colfax 5000 head of sheep were
sold to Idaho parties for $12,11S cash.
Some years ago the sheep ranchers
declined to pay cents per head for
pasture for their sheep and bought the
land at 60 cents to $3.50 per acre, and
have been forced to become wealthy
by it's increase in value.

throughout the world that He may gather to Himself the company whose song we hear fin Rev V. 9. 10, who shall reign with Him on the earth when the kingdom comes. That kingdom will have redeemed israel for it's earthly center with Jesus Christ, as Son of David, on Davids throne at Jerusalem, according to verses 30. 31 and Luke l. g. 33. Jerusalem shall then be the throne of the Lord and all nations gathered unto it to the name of the Lord of Jerusalem Ger iii, ID. While that kingdom is postponed because of Israels rejection of her Messiah a new thing in the unfolding of the eternal purpose of God Is taking place, which was specially revealed for the first time to the Apostle Paul. as may be seen by careful pcrusal of Eph iii
 Ill We will not reach the record of the first gathering of the gentiles into this one body, the church. till we come to chapter X. but we have in this and the following lesson the Jewish begin ming of the church, for the 5000 of verse II and the 5000 of chapter iv, 1, were all Jews.
 Our Lords word to the woman of Samaria in John iv, %, Salvation is of the Jews" does not seem to mean much to the majority of Christians to- day, but it is the heart of the eternal purpose of Cod. Spirit filled people will use the Spirits own book, the Bi- ble, which is forever settled in heaven CPS. cxix, S9), even though they may seem by so doing to be drunken crowd in the eyes of many (verse 13). for the wisdom of God is foolishness in the eyes of the wisdom of the world. The prophets were the Lords messen- gers with the Lords message. going where He sent them and saying what He told them O1ag. 1, 13; Jer. i, Q Even our Lord Jesus Christ said only what the Father told Him to say, and Ills words and works were all those of the Father in and through Him John xii, 40, 30; xiv, 10). Spirit filled Peter on this occasion, just rehearses from the Scriptures that which the Spirit had written concerning the Lord Jesus, whom He is sent to glorify and take of His things and show them unto us John xvi. 13. 1D. In last weeks study we saw him quoting from the prophecy of Joel; in this lesson we see him in verses 22, 23, summarizing Ps. xii and tsa lili concerning the suffer ings of Christ and he probably had in mind such words as Ps. xxxiiL lo II, concerning the counsel of God. In verses q to 2s he dnotes from Ps. xvi

In verse 30 he refers to Gods promise to David to give him an immortal Son, risen from the dead, to sit on His throne forever CIT Sam. vii, 12, 13; l Chron. xvii. 11-14. In verses 34. 35, he quotes from Ps cx. the great Mel chisedek psalm, and assures them that Jesiis, whom they had crucified, whom God raised from the dead, Is the one of whom all these Scriptures tell and who, being now glorifed by the Fa- ther. had sent down the Holy Spirit to convince them of their sin that they might be forgiven and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. He entreated them to save themselves from crooked generation. assuring them that the Lord was calling them and ready to receive them notwithstanding all that they had done. They received the message as the word of God to them (vcrse fl, and see I Thess. ii, 13), and soon there were 5000 redeemed people, who continued in praise and prayer and Bible study and fellowship. and 'he Lord added daily to their number.

 I find continual comfort in the assur- ance that in matters concerning na- tions and individuals Uob xxxiv. 29) God is working all things after the sounsel of His own will andsaccording 10 the eternal purpose which He pur- posed in Christ Jesus our Lord (Eph. i, II; iii, ID.

Tn the opening chapters of this book we find it repeatedly stated that the cruel treatment received by our Lord Jesus at the hands of wicked men was all foreseen by God and foretold by Him through the prophets Qi. g; iii, IS; iv, 2Sl. Gods foreknowledge does not, however, jn the least degree excuse or palliate the guilt of the wicked. The decrees of God and the free will of \, and puny mortals may not attempt to reconcile them.
 The one thing that all may do who have heard the good news of the grace of God is that which 5000 did under the preaching of Peter on the day of which our lesson tells, and that was to believe on or receive the Lord Jesus Christ as having suffered for sins the just for the unjust and risen from the dead and ascended to the right hand of God, there to wait till His body is gathered from all nations, that He may come again to restore all things of which the prophets have spoken dii, 2D.

BULLOCK ATTACKED
FROM NEW POINT
San Mateo Supervisors Con-
slider Resolution Ordering
District Attorney to Act

District Attorney Joseph J. Bullock
of San Mateo county was attacked from
new quarter yesterday by the county
unusual activity by the Investigations
now being conducted by the grand jury,
took under consideration a resolution
ordering Bullock to start suit immedi-
ately against County Treasurer p. p.
Chamberlain for the recovery of per
cent. interest on all the county's funds
now being used by banks Chamber
lain is vice president of the First ma
tional bank of Redwood city, in which
more than 100000 OF San Mateo's $
money is held, and the supervisors be-
lieve this double reason why Cham
berlain should give the county its 2
per cent. This rate of interest. the
state law directs, must be paid by all
banks using municipal or county funds
deposited in them.
The resolution was introduced by p.
II. 'McEvoy, friend of the forces now
prying into San Mateo officialdom. II
will be voted Wednesday.
Following this threatened onslaught
on Bullock the supervisors commanded
Sheriff Robert E. Chatham to make q
monthly itemized report concerning the
prisoners in the county Jail, the amount
of food they consume. the prices of the
food and the time of Incarceration and
release of each prisoner.
And still further following in the
paths outlined by the grand jury, the
boad odered County Recoder Henry
Underhill to make an iternized state
rnent every month regarding everything
paid out in connection with the building 2
of the new city hall, one of the matters

vestigation
Adoiph Jacobs. chairman of the South

meeting off. KerteIl fears that so many
citizens will attend that few will be
eligible for the jury service when the
contemplated indictments are returned
and the trial of the men begun What
action Jacobs Will take is not known.
Kerten says he will instruct the
grand jurors not to attend the meet
ing If it be held.
Foreman Kertell is not sending ont
subpenas for the meeting of the grand
jury next Wednesday,. as he knows
that this will allow District Attorney
Bullock to discover the identity OF
each witness the inquisitorial BODY

foreman is sending out personal let
ters to the witnesses and he will not
resort to subpoena unless forced to
do so.
1t is expected that Wednesdayrs
meeting Will result in indictments. and
Justice of the Peace Arthur McCor-
mick of Pescadero has been sum
moned before the grand jury as one Of
the witnesses. State Attorney General
u S. Webb said last night that he
would send no deputy to Wednesday,
meeting of the grand jury, but would
await communication from the body
after the meeting. Then he would de-
eide whether or not the situation de-
manded the presence of one of his

EGYPTIAN DANES WERE
UP TO DATE IN DRESS
Fashions "a Centuries Ago the
Same as Today

Again is it proven that there is moth
ing new under the sun. An eastern
professor in a recent lecture on Egypt
Is centuries ago said that the usual
dress of the Egyptian women of that
day was the sheath gown. practically
the same as the Paris fashion design
ers are now trying to introduce.
The garment was made of fine linen.
enriched with elaborate designs. and
the slit at the side. according to the
professors theory, was. intended to per-
NIT the display of the wearer's numer-
Gus and more or less precious anklets.
The coiffure of the Egyptian danes also
bore marked resemblance to the ex :
aggerated styles in hair dressing az
fected by the sex at the present time,
more especially In the annex of puffs
and padding built out from the back
of the head.
The learned professor also called at
tention to the fact that these women
of "a centuries ago painted their faces
and their lips and he exhibited by
means of a stereopticon numerous de-
signs of rouge and pomade Jars, as
well as OF reception and street gowns
and numerous examples of feminine
jewelry of that time.
