eminent extend over a period |
of ten years without interest
there IS no object in meeting
the same in advance and most
of the farmers therefore are
devoting their revenus to i'm
proving their homes and in
purchasing live stock and
implements. One of the most
interesting features of the
up-building ofthese new com.
munities is the large number
of settlers who have come
from the cities and towns.
Their success is all the more
notable because they had
little or no previous exper-
fence in farming, especially
farming by irrigation. Under
these circumstances the call
of the open country is likely
to appeal to others who have
grown tired of the stress and
fume of city life and the never
ending struggle to make in
come and outgo balance.
The west is filling up so
rapidly and the really choice
locations are so few that it is
only a question of time now
when the increase of land
values there will make it as
difficult for the poor man to
get a foothold as il is today in

The Vanishing Desert.

A quarter of a century ago
any mention of the Great
American desert called up
visions of a region of limit
less extent, sun baked, parch-
ed and desolate. A country
associated always with tales
of suffering and death, of
unfriendly savages, and dead
ly reptiles, for years it was
passed over by congress as
worthless. The marvellous
transformation which has
been wrought in two decades
in this land of silence and
sunshine furnishes one of the
most interesting and inspir-
ing pages in the annals Of our
republics development. The
great American desert is van
ishing from the map. It's
boundaries have shrunker
and it no longer presents {
formidable barrier to the
growth and progress of the
far west. Twelve milliol
acres of this rainless country
have been subdued by mean,
of agriculture and irrigation
and are producing bountifu
and assured harvests ever,
year. A quarter of a millio
families are residing on farm
and as many more have foun
homes and occupations in tn
cities, towns, and village
which have sprung up in tn
midst of the agricultur;
areas. Great dams have bee
constructed to impound tn

floods and through 10000
miles of canals and bitches /
the life-giving water has been
turned upon the dusty desert.
The streams have been har-
messed for power and an era
of manufacturing is dawning
in which all of the raw pro-
duets of the farm, the forests
and the mines will be prepar-
ed for the markets of the
world. The comforts and
Injuries heretofore unknown
in agricultural regions are
obtainable in many of the
western valleys. The farmer
| lights and heats his home
with electricity and his heavy
work is done cheaply by the
same potent force. Trolley
lines bring the farm and town
closer together. In a ma
jority of the irrigated dis
tricts the farms are small
not more than 40 acres each.
With l6 to 60 farm families to
the square mile, isolation is
eliminated and life in the
country becomes more nearly
urban than rural. While
pioneering in this new coun
try calls for a good deal o.
grit and not a little hard work
the compensation is sure ant
abundant. Carving out q
home in the desert is M
child's play, it is a man''
work, but there are few
places where nature responds
i, more quickly to intelligeu
, industry than the irrigate,
country. On the government
y projects the past year ha
! been a conspienously pros
porous one. The success @
: the average farmer in man
! instances has been remark
! able. On several of the pre-
] iects the crops on individu;

Going Some.

The farmers we're sitting around the
stove in the general store and telling
how the potato bugs had gotten their
crops. Said one farmer:
"The bugs ate my whole crop in two
weeks"
Then another spoke up:
They ate my crop in two days and
then sat around on the trees and wait
ed for me to plant more"
"Well, boys, that may be so, but III
tell you what I saw in this very store.

seed."- ."-National Monthly.

people and brings them much pleas
ure for the money expended. In the
city the phone has long since become
a necessity. Our wives, as well as
cur sweethearts, find it to be of great
advantage to them. It saves many a
step and many a nickle for the city
woman even though she has any num-
Der of stores Immediately around her,
and finds it possible to secure almost
any article she desires within few
hundred yards of the house.
TO the farmer it will mean much to
BE able to go to the telephone and
order those things desired from the
city or from the village stores. Sup
pose a piece of machinery was brok-
en-. A neighbor had started to town
that morning and if there were any
way to get word to him he would
make the purchase for you and save
you days work. The phone sup
plies that agency and it means dol
lars and cents for the farmer. Then
in case Of sickness the time Of one
trip is saved and in many cases that
means the life of the patient. There
are a thousand and one ways in which
the rural phone is developing the
country and tending to make it pleas
ant for the farmer and thereby keep
ing him from moving to the city.
In the city the phone proves Of
great service to the housewife who
does much Of her visiting with her
close friends over the wire. She
finds it pleasure and a time saver.
To the woman in the country it
brings her neighbors who live miles
away into her home and proves
source of comfort and pleasure to
her. The coming development of the
rural telephone system is going to ac-
complish much towards the end Of
making the farmer satisfied with the
farm and therefore to keep him at his
work-which work means more to the
city than his moving there.

The State thus comments on the

"Our esteemed contemporary is evi-

State has not shared with it. Mean
while, if the Southern Power company
or allied interests would plan to build
from Charlotte and Greenwood with
out including Columbia, why would it
not build from Charlotte to Wins

have, trolley connection with the
