Acting Secy. OF Agriculture Hays
Shows How Dry Conditions
Come in Cycles.
PEOPLE FORGET THE FACT
Land Boomers Have Sought to Miuiin-
Ire II, but Is Being Recog-
nized Now.

Washington. July 16-"The drouth
from which the west is now suffering
only verihes what many agrlculturalists
have epected for long time" said
Acting secy. Hays Of the department
OF agriculture today. MANY OF us,
knowing that the west had suffered
from cycles Of drouth believed that
these cycles would again hamper the
farmers there. but the period Of many
years during which rainfall has been
regular caused the people TO forget the
real condition that faced them" con-
tinued Mr. Hays. who was farmer In
Minnesota before becoming assistant
secretary Of agriculture. and who is
especially familiar with the wheat
country OF the northwest.
Real estate boomers have sought to
minimize the danger from drouth In
the west and they have talked that way
for 80 many years. during which the
rainfall has been regular that many
came TO believe that there was no
longer danger Of that kind for their
crops They are seeing IL now.
The west is really much better
country than many agricultTrists be
lieved. but we face the fact that these
cycles OF drouth will recur and farm
ers must finance their farms IN such "a
conservative way as 10 have surplus
money with which 10 face these periods
Of non productiveness In good years
in the new sections Of the west. the
farmers profit has been large, in some
cases so great as to permit him 70 pay
for his land in single year. In the
long run they will obtain satisfactory
returns, but they must face the situa-
ton as II Is and come to look upon the
cycle Of drouth as one of the recurring
conditions."

NEW CENSUS RAISES
IMPORTANT QUESTION
Is Whether Membership OF House of
Representatives Shall he Increased
Or Unit of Representation Raised.

Chicago, July GA special from
/ Washington says:
The new census promises to precipi-
tate a political and sectional controver-
Based upon the population IL repre-
sents, Congress will have to determine
whether the house OF representatives
shall be numerically enlarged, which
viii make the body more unwieldy, or
whether the aggregate OF persons en-
titled to a member OF Congress shall
be increased, which will mean that
the house will retain its present mem
bership and POSSIBLY may be reduced.
Some states, If the latter plan is
adopted, win lose representation in
Congress through dimunition OF pop
ulatton during the last 10 years, while
others are certain OF an increase, due
to growth in the number of their in
habitants. The present ratio OF appor-
tionment is one member for every 1884,
600 Inhabitants. The present house
consists of 3si members.
II Congress were to adopt for the
present census the ratio of apportion-
ment observed in 1900. the house would
be increased by SO members. This
would bring the total membership up
TO 400 II is not expected, however.
that this ratio will be maintained.
1t Is expected that when the appor-
tionment bill Is considered, the num-
Der OF the members Of the house will
be fixed at one for every 225,0O0. This
would mean that the house would re-
main practically at It's present figure.
A hard fight undoubtedly Will be
made against the adoption of such a
large ratio, especially by sparsely set
tied portions OF the country and by
those which fear that emigration fur
ther will reduce their population. The
more thickly settled states probably
will raise no objection TO a proposition
of this kind and indeed, would be in
clined 20 favor Il, since II would insure
a relatively larger representation.
