A Governors Invitation.
This district alone needs an in.
vestment of five hundred million
francs of foreign capital. We are now
having drawn specifications of vast
irrigation project for this great Gill
clan plain. l shall be glad to let you
have. and to send to any interested
and responsible persons in America,
detailed information such as would be
necessary to make bids. Americans
are familiar with irrigation work and
skilled in this department of engineer
ing; SO we should be very glad to have
responsible firms seek this contract
and / could assure them that there
will be no difficulty about the neces-
sary government concession.
Here in the city of Adana we need

tramway system, water system, a
telephone system, and a sewage sys-

open to foreign capital with a good
return and abundant security assured.
Not only will Adana, which has
much larger city, with the advent of
the Bagdad railway and the develop
ment OF our agricultural and cotton
industry. but to the east of us on the
Cilician plain there should be another

Most conspicuous among these, and

What the Flag Covers.
In the case of this American Line"
which is a scandal throughout the Lee
want, the company ostensibly secured
American registration about year
ago in order to escape the Turkish Law
whereby its ships could be used for
the transport of troops. Critics say
that this is the same company that
previously ran the ships, but simply
under another and an American name.
They fly the flag over their offices and
over the ships but I venture to say
that there are not five persons in the

Care of the Herd Boar.

Most farmers seem to think 1t a
great deal OF trouble to keep a boar.
The main reason that boar is trou-
blesome is because of announcement
arrangements and poor fences. Keep
him inclosed by fences that will turn
him and he will be contented. Do not
keep him In dry or muddy lot. BE
eats grass the same as the sows and
the cows Turn him out where he
can have range and company. A
barrow and boar get along together,
but bred SOW makes the best COM
pany for him, and a whole herd OF
bred sows won't hurt him. He will
do much better when he has com
pany and show a much better dis
position. Do not let the boar run
with the fattening hogs unless he
really needs fattening up. If the hogs
are being fed on a good balanced ra-
ton it will be all right for the boar.
A hog can be vigorous and in good
condition and not be fat.
