some ADVICE ON
DRY FARMING
NO ONE SHOULD CONSIDER 1T A
LAZY MANS JOB, SAYS DEPART.
MENT OF AGRICULTURE IN Al
RECENT RULLETIN--soME Ex-
cELLENT INFoRMATIoN GIVEN.

st. Paul Pioneer Press: The depart
ment Of agriculture at Washington
has issued pamphlet on the subject
of dry farming in which some good
advice is given to prospective settlers
In various sections OF the country
where the annual rainfall is limited.
The department also makes tardy cor
rection Of an error committed some
years ago when a bulletin placed
practically all Of the country west of
the ninety eighth meridian In the .'arid
or semi-arid regions" The depart
ment experts now admit that in much
of this area the average rainfall runs
as high as 81 or 20 inches and should
therefore be removed from the semi
arid" classification.
Much of the land located In what
was formerly shown on the maps as
The Great American Desert" has sup
ported a prosperous agricultural popu-
lation for many years, and farm lands
are selling in that territory for from
$40 to 500 an acre. The recent bull
letin Of the agricultural department
says:
AS generally used the term refers
between ten and twenty inches Of
melted snow and rain annually. but i'm
determining aridity or humidity evapo-
ration is of equal Importance with pre-
cipitation. In southern Texas much
more than twenty inches Of precipita-
| ton may be required to make q humid
country, but twenty inches of rainfall
| In the Red river region Of North Da-
4e4k4
/ With reference to Kansas and Nebras-
ka the writer prefers TO consider the
western limit Of twenty inches aver
age annual precipitation as the eastern
| limit Of the semi arid region. although
In southern Kansas this limit may be
| too TAR west and Ia some other places
too far east. SO far as the records for
Kansas and Nebraska now show this
| line in most places lies twenty 70
thirty miles west Of the one hundredth
meridian
The best advice offered IN the de-

warning to prospective farmers that

by what are considered improved

and permanent. is necessarily good

may expect to get few good crops,
many poor ones and many almost COM
pIete failures. It Il only the best and
most systematic farming that can be-

PACKERS TRIAL
DELAYED AGAIN

Chicago. Nov. 22.--Further delay In
the criminal trial of the indicted Chi
cago meat packers until next Monday
was granted counsel for the defend
ants late yesterday by the trial judges
George A. Carpenter of the United
states district court AS a result. the
fight to save the packers from facing
o Jury probably will shift from Chi
cago to Washington. where efforts will
be made to obtain Il stay order from a
Justice of the United States supreme
court.
Judge Carpenter said. however, that
unless he had received a stay order
By Monday he would order the pack
ers to trial without further argu-
ment.
Counsel for the government appar-
entity with the purpose of interposing
objection to the delay, started to COM
ment upon the matter, when Judge
Carpenter interrupted by saying;
"You may rest assured that unless
a stay order is issued the case will
proceed Monday"
Ask for Immediate Entry.
Counsel for the packers effected the
delay by first appearing before Judge
| G.. c. Kohlsaat i'm the United States
circuit court. where the entering of an
order quashing the packers habeas
corpus writ had been marking time
since Saturday. When delay was
gianted Saturday by Judge Kohlsaat
it was agreed that formal entering of
this order should take place on We'd
nesday
! The defendants lawyers caused some
surprise by appearing in Judge Kohl
saats court at noon, in company with
counsel FOR the government, and ask
ing for the immediate entry of the
order. At the same time the order
gianting an appeal from Judge Kohl
saat's decision, also handed down last
Saturday, formally was entered.
Three hours after these orders had
been entered lin Judge Kohhaat's
court counsel for the defendants APP
peared in Judge Carpenters court
Lwhere the trial was scheduled to open
tomorrow, and the postponement was
allowed.
Levy Mayer of counsel for the de-
| PENDANTS. after delay had been granted
by Judge Carpenter, said that the APP
| rlication for n stay order from the
supreme court would be made before
Chief Justice White at Washington
probably on Thursday morning.

WINNING GAME NOT
ENTIRELY FLUKE ON
PART OF PRINCETON

Princeton, n. j., Nov Z2.-lt deg
veloped today that the action OF
Sammy" White, the big Princeton
end. in recovering two missed balls
and scoring touchdowns against Har-
ward and Yale, We're not the results
cf ilukes at all. -
II has been time hOnOred custom for
player to 'fall on the ball' when il
Is fumbled. Coaches drilled that into
men as the best way or recovering a
loose ball. In the Yale game last year
White had chance to score when he
recovered a fumbled ball But his
training had been TO fall on the ball
and that's what he did.
During the winter White thought
over the matter. Why he argued
couldn't he have caught the ban on
tie run and made the touchdown. His
baseball training told him IL would be
good thing to come into the ball on
the run instead of falling on 1t. SO
when he went back to Princeton this
Year he put the matter up TO Head
Coach Roper and I, Assistant Coach
Logan Cunningham. His arguments
won and the Tiger team was drilled
To recover fumbled balls on the run
and not fall on them, as football men
have been doing from time immemor-
ial. The result was that White, in
stead Of falling on the ball, scored
touehdowns against Harvard and
faie-and Won both games. tt

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY,
by A. w. MACY.
THE FATHER OF THE AMER
icAN REVOLUTION.

There was one man connected
with the American Revolution
whose memory does not receive
the attention II deserves. His
name is Samuel Adams. He did
more to bring on the war than
any other man. Tho thirteen
colonies were widely separated.
There was no concerted action,
and they often worked at cross
purposes. Adams developed
system Of correspondence among
them, which resulted In uniting
them in opposition to the tyran-
nies Of the mother country. For
twelve years, from 1855 20 i975,
he kept up an uncessi7g ac'ss-
tion. He literally threw hin
self, body and soul, ii.o tas
work Of ar"using tho coic1!tc.
He was not great man per
haps, but he did a great work
nevertheless. He was not elo-
quent, but he was persistent.
His mission was to put others
TO work, and In this he was won-
derfully successful. tle had a
discerning eye for young men
Of ability, and many who became
leaders in the Revolution were
discovered" and set to work
by him. He has been called the
father Of the Revolution, and
why not7 As one OF his biog-
raphers says, Massachusetts,
led the colonies, Boston led
Massachusetts,, and Sam Adams
led Boston," Bernard, the Eng
llsh governor Of Massachusetts
colony, used TO say: "Damn
that Adams. Every dip Of his
pen stlnss like a horned snake"

IL David Darfield were invited t.
give series Of performances at ST.
Petersburg, Just as Russian players
come to New York. he couli not pass
the frontier. His American passport
would not help him. If David
Belasco were invited to stage a pro-
duction in Russia his American citi-
zenship could not aid him to enter
Russia simply because Russia chooses
to violate her Treaty with the Uni
ted States, by discriminating against
Americans on religious grounds.
Within few months, Oscar Ham
merstein, desiring to visit st. Peters
burg in connection with his new
operate enterprise in London, was
refused passport because he is a
jew.
Louis j. Horowitz, naturalized
American citizen, the president of
the Thompson-Starre Company, the
corporation which built the great
Union Station at Washington. and
many other important structures,
wished to go to Russia three years
ago in behalf of his firm, to bid on
u railway station that was to be
erected In st. Petersburg, but the
Russian Embassy in Washington re.
fused to wise his passport because he
is jew and consequently he could
not enter Russia.
Thus Americans citizens have been
and are being subjected to humilia-
ton by the Russian Governent and
the Just resentment repeatedly eX-
pressed through our Department Of
State has been of no avail.
Because the efforts of diplomacy
to remedy these intolerable condi-
tions have been fruitless, there has
arisen demand that the treaty with
Russia be abrogated. A National
Citizens committee whose purpose
1t is to endeayor to get Congress to
abrogate the treaty has been former
and among its members are such
well-known men as Andrew d..
White. former Minister to Russia,
President; William jay Schieffelin,
James Creelman, Senator Boies Pen
rose, Senator La Toilette, Governor
Woodrow Wilson, Rev, Dr. Charles
IL. Parkhurst, Governor Harmon and
many others.
