CONDITIONS AFFECTING
THE DUTYf0F WAFER

We are hearing much OF late years
about the duty of water in irriga-
ton. and in the future We will have
the problem squarely before us, how
to increase the duty of water. or in
other words, how are we going To
conserve the moisture. There are
several conditions which affect this
question, but we will touch upon Que
only at this time; namely. the char
acter Of the soil and subsoil.
The character OF the soil is prob
ably the greatest factor to consider.
as the texture OF the soil as regards
its porosity has more to do with the
water used than any other one thing.
Before this problem of duty of water
can be definitely settled as regards
any community. soil survey should
be made and actual conditions OBJ
served. We are beginning to observe
! that 1t is possible to have adjoining
fields raising the same kinds of crops,
apparently under the same conditions.
which have q different factor for the
duy of water. This is due TO the fact
that the soil conditions of one are
different from those OF the other. You
would not be justified in saying that
the duty of water for your farm is
the same for all fields. A heavy soil
may mature a crop with a single ir-
rigation of a few acre-inches, while
a graveily soil may require as many
acre-feet. In the first case the wator
will not soak so deep in the ground
as TO go beyond the zone of the roots.
and-the only loss will be that due to
evaporation. while in the second case
the soil particles being so large. tie
water readily goes below the feeding
depth OF the plants and is lost so far

conservation OF moisture In, the
case sighted above, the two soils. one
heavy and the other light. we would
be wasteful OF water to attempt to
lirrisate both fields by the same meth
cd. Flooding may answer for the
first case, but II is an extravagaat
process for the latter. In some soils
at least. two-thirds of the water ap-
piled would not be used by the grow
ing plants.
Again we find the evaporation in
the coarse soil TO be great. and the
soil would soon lose It's water con-

The whole purpose of the Associated
Charities Is correction rather than mere
relief. In it's various enterprises this or

Washington, especially during the latter

reduced to a minimum the waste that
characterizes indiscriminate giving and
greatly lessened the danger of pauperiZ-

upon the public bounty. 1t has taught
thrift by maintaining system of regular
savings. It has found employment for
those able to work. 1t has taught Clean
illness and given instruction in the nature
of disease and the value of wholesome
food. 1t has encouraged temperance. By
its summer outings endeavors it has given
health to many hundreds of women and
children, and strengthened them for the
years work and given them new hope
1t has, in short, worked constructvely
among the less fortunate members OF the
community and at cost that, in view OF
the results is surprisingly small.

Chairman LLOYD Seeks Light.

Chairman Lloyd of the democratic con-

mat on He has addressed an inquiry to
democratic leaders not only as to their
choice for presidential candidate, but as to
their opinion of the comparative strength
of Mr. Taft and Mr.. La Toilette. He
wants to know. Will he profit by his in
dustry?
This is an invasion of the rights OF the
press. About this time, using an old
phrase look out for straw votes and jour-
nalistic circulars directed to this identical
end Readers of newspapers settle them
selves for news of this kind. Still, as we
have a free country, if Mr.. Lloyd can
beat the newspapers to il, well and good.

Mr.. Clark it Is in part because he is a

we shall buckle down and do our best
for the ticket. What is your opinion on
the matter?'
OF greater weight, probably, than all
Mr.. Lloyd is likely to garner by means of
his circulars is the unsolicited opinion of
Mr.. Bryan touching next year. He warns
his party friends against overconfidence
He grants hope, but counsels hard work
Sweeping the horizon with his largest
glass, he can see no promise of a land
slide to the democra y. The best man
must be nominated, but he does not name
him. The strongest platform must be
written, but it's leading planks are not
now suggested.
Mr.. Bryan has been claimed as Wilson
man, a Clark man, and a Bryan man.
He has not expressed preference But
he is certainly not for Gov. Harmon, and
there Is an impression that the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Underwood would give him
pain.

John ID. Rockefeller, jr., in his cele-

the elder Rockefeller was evolved into
the perfect rose of trust finance Is

The smooth philosopher will write
A lot of soothing stuff
And tell you life is gay and light
And grief is all bluff.
In grand indifference you must dwell
To every human woe
And yet you ought to hear him yell
Whenever he stubs his toe.
He tells you riches are in vain,
For mans temptation sent;
That happiness you may attain
In haunts of sweet content.
Mere lucre Is of no avail
To lift the hearts of men
And yet you ought to hear him vail
When he has lost ten.

An American Question.
From the New York Times

From the New York Times.
1t is not "A Jewish question, it is an
American question, altogether all Ameri-
can question, that has grown out of
Russia's arrogant attitude in respect to
American passports. There is evidence OF
this in the fact that many pub.ic-spirited
Americans not of the Jewish faith are
taking part in the agitation to secure the
removal of this intolera BILE discrimination
But the nature of the question itself. the
very matter in dispute, shows it to be
one that concerns all Americans. Our
Constitution guarantees and our gov
eminent maintains the absolute equality
of rights and privileges under American
citizenship. When Russia declines to
honor passport issued To an American
Jew because he Is a Jew it sets up u
distinction which we do not make our
selves and which we cannot honorably
permit anybody else to make.
