REGISTERED LETTER FEES
Reasons For the Advance Made by
 The Postal Department.

By order of the postmaster gener- al the registry fee for letters and parcels Is now ten cents instead of eight cents. as heretofore. The order went into effect Monday, and is in ac- cordance with the recommendations of committee appointed to investigate
 registration service.
 The order also increases the maxi mum indemnity paid to the owner of lost or rifled registered letter from $25 to $50, ,Aus doubling the department's s liability for valuable articles intrusted to it's registry branch.
 The changes ordered, the postmas- ter general says, constitute the first move toward making the postal ser vice self-sustaining. The registry sys- tenn has been conducted at a loss and to make it pay it's way|radical meas ures are necessary.

DUCK SHOOTERS COMING
Los Angeles Men Form Club to op-
 crate on the Alamo River.
nns Angeles Timesl


 Unattached duck shooters, who have been unable to lease good shooting preserves within a reasonable distance of the city. are planning to invade Imperial Valley where sport with the birds is excellent Large flights of mallards. canvasbacks and teal are feeding along the Alamo river, and limit bags are assured almost any number of visiting gunners.
 A local club has been organized re- gently to operate in the Imperial coun- try. Charter members are the Rossi- ter boys, D. F. Smith, Judge Summer field, Judge Williams, Tobe Harris, W. Schultz, C. l.. Shinn and other sportsmen. The gunners expect to pull off their opening shoot some time this week Membership in the club is limited to thirty, and the roll call is almost full.
 No attempt will be made to build a permanent clubhouse at present, and no blinds are to be constructed. The ducks feed over a wide stretch of ter ritory in the Imperial district, and fixed blinds would be of no use with the ever changing flights of the birds.
 The local gunners are to pitch two large tents. one for sleeping quarters and the other for a cook tent, toge- ther with cots to accommodate a doz- en men. Two boats have been se- cured and shipped down to the site of the club.
 The club will operate about nine miles west of Brawley on the Alamo river, about 9OOsyardsl from the rail road bridge at that point. Members of the squad are to visit the club once a week.

ELECTRIC GRINDING.

ern farmhouse has its phone the same as the city office and the city home.
 Will we come to electric farming? It has come in Germany, and the American farmer is not behind the farmer of Germany or any other coun- try in intelligence and progressiveness. If electricity benefits the German farmer, why shouldn't it benefit. the American farmer?
 The use of electric power on large farm operations has already been highly developed in some localities in Germany. The plan is to place a ecu tral power plant at the points where 1t will be convenient for the nearby population.
 The electricity is. collected in storage batteries, which are then mounted on wheels and taken wherever the power is needed. One of these travelling bat teries may be connected with a farm er's power wood saw to work up the winters supply in feEv hours. Then the battery is moved to the next farm,

 Electric farming? Why not? The simc was when a suggestion that the farmer in this country would have his mail delivered in a box nailed to his front gatepOst would have been laugh ed down. But the time came, and the old style of travelling a long distance in cold and heat over rough roads to the nearest village once week for letters and newspapers passed out for ever i'll most parts of the country.
 Then it was suggested that the farm CT might get the news of quotations OH products of the soil and live stock and arrange lis deals by telephone while he was in his family room and that t,-c wires which would carry the in fcrmation would be constructed out of tie wires of his fence. The farmer ard others laughed at this idea. But t!.2 thing was done, and now the mod

Dry farming Is that type of soil cul- tivation which is carried on in sections where the annual rainfall Is fifteen inches or less and where the moisture necessary for the maturing of a crop is conserved and stored by deep blow ing and frequent cultivations, which keep the surface soil mellow, enabling it to retain a maximum amount of that moisture which falls as rain and tend ing to increase the amount of moisture which rises from the subsoil to the cultivated zone.

It is a pretty sure proposition that chemically bad roads anywhere keep land values below what they would otherwise be. Such condition is in part due to the handicap which OWL CTS are confronted with in hauling their produce to market, while there is little question that the mere ap- pearancc of the highways has a con siderable influence with a prospective purchaser in causing him to arrive at all estimate of what he considers a piece of land in such poor roads To- cality worth.

An cod feature in the practice of Norman tenant farmers is that often their leases entitle them to carry of from a farm when they leave it foot or so of the rich black surface soil, the equity of the procedure seeming to lie n the fact that. since he has been to considerable pains and expense to en- rich the soil, he is entitled to q certain other place. If renters in this country were doing little more of this busi ness of carrying soil fertility around with them, instead of as a class being soil impoverishers, the condition oc things would be a good deal better, all parties involved, than it is today.

There is no time when the work of giving the young orchard trees low heads and sturdy branching limbs can be done so easily as at the time when they are first set out. If the young trees as they come from the nursery are tnll and spindly they should be cut back so as to leave a trunk of the desired height. While this may seem harsh treatment, the result will be that sturdy lateral branches will be set out and good head" started when noth- ing of the kind would be possible were the tree allowed to continue Its vertical growth uninterrupted. The finishing of the job may have to be carried through several seasons, and the amount that will need to be done from time to time will be indicated some what by the habit of growth of the tree and the definite ideal or type of tree which the orchardist may have In mind
