Corpus Christi, Texas, Oct. 22.-In
an open address here today before
the Inland Waterways League and 70
the citizens of Corpus Christi, Presi-
dent Taft announced himself as
strongly favOring a permanent and
practical system OF inland waterways
as a means of controlling railroad
rates and said that he favored the
policy OF issuing bonds for carrying
out a practical system of improve
ments. Up to the present time, Mr..
Taft declared, congress has provided
for Improvement in piece-meal fashion
and the work on improvement has
been nothing more than a procession
pf jerks" Before any project is en-
Tered upon, the president declared, il
Dhould De thoroughly considered, in
festisated and reported upon by a
BOARD of engineers as to its feasibility

nent is declared desirable and the
communities which it is to serve can
convince congress that their growth
has been such as to justify the expen-
eiture of n large sum of money to
lake care of increasing trade, bonds
)hould be issued in order that the i'm
provements can be carried into effect
II once and the benefits of it be quick
~ secured.
NO DIFFERENCE EXISTS.
In announcing his position for is
suing bonds, the president said he
sould see no difference between i'm
proving inland waterways and digging
the Panama canal. Each project
should be separately considered to
determine whether or not it is worth
Eoing.
Mr.. Taft referred to the fact that
b. the Ohio river improvements were
Under way to secure a 9-foot stage
from Pittsburg to Cairo. An inter
coastal 9-foot canal, he declared,
would be Of great service to the en-
lire country.
The president said he recognized
The danger of issuing bonds indiscrim-
matefy and said the people must not
lose sight of the fact that some day
The bonds must be paid. But he de
elared his great faith in the conser-
Tatism OF congress and the American
people and he did not believe that
they would go into the Improvement
Of waterways by means OF a bond is
sue on a haphazard basis, but would
conservatively calculate whether or
not the time has arrived to do the

feet of waterways as one of the
phases of the general conservation of

The desirability of such long dis

say, Is obvious, for in times of war IL
would prove invaluable TO the gov

partmsnt will be able to control and

with the proposition to install wire

may be able to communicate with each
other at a distance of l 900 miles will
put the government in the position
where directions given to one vessel
may be quickly transmitted to an

came the wife of Mr.. Breuner who
had won her heart in the little min

lady was one of the pioneers. They

on to the east to visit relatives of the

ruined thousands of acres of the best
grass land. The effects of unrestTict-
ed or ill-directed grazing not only les
sen production of forage for one or
two seasons, but the carrying capae
ity of the range is permanently inn
paired. Worn out acres quickly
spring up to worthless or nOxious
growth which spreads and supersede
the natural covering. Large areas
are sometimes so barred by destruc-
tive over grazing that they become
practically barren wastes.
The forest service and the bureau
of plant industry, of the United
States department of agriculture,
have co-operated in a series of ex-
periments looking toward the arti-
fetal reseeding of portions of grazing
lands with cultivated grasses, and
studies are being carried on to find
out how overgrazed areas can be re-
seeded naturally, and how the carry

creased through notifications of the
present methods of handling stock
Much of the grazing land included in
the national forest was comparative
ly unproductive as result of unre
stricted grazing before it came under
forest service control. Since that
time it is estimated that the efficien'
cy of these lands has been increased
80 per cent merely by the prevention
of misuse. This represents but tho
beginning of the good which will re
suit from the experiments and stud
ies already started.
The object of the initial expert
ments has been to bring about tn
natural reseeding of range area
without withdrawing them, excep
temporarily, from use. This involve
studies of the Towering and maturit
of the range plants, the germinatio
of seeds, and the destructive effect G
