DRY FARMING METHODS.

Answering the question, What Il

says:
Dry farming is nothing more thai
good farming, and usually succeed
best in regions where there Is plent1
of rainfall The fundamental principl
of the whole thing lies in storing tn
surplus rainfall in the subsoil for us

ing before the rainy season and the
by conserving the moisture by fro
quent shallow cultivation before AM

NORTH MAIN STREET..

The condition OF some OF the prop
erty on North Main street is not cred
table to the city. This is the case
particularly of the. half block belong
ing to the city, including the Houston
& Texas Central stock pens and the
old wagon yard This half block is,
we believe, the dirtiest place in the
city, and lying as it does by the side
of the route taken by all visitors pass
ing from the business district to the
manufacturing district, it can not fail
to make an unfavorable impression.
The efforts of the Commercial Club
to induce the railroad to remove the
shipping pens to a locality outside the
CITY should be continued, for they are
an unmitigated nuisance. Tie condi'
ton of the wagon yard is still worse;
| it is simply disgraceful.
The expansion of business demands
an outlet, and North Main street Of
fers the best opportunities for it, This
is evident from the fact that three
brick business houses have been built
there recently. The increase in the
value of the city's property at the
north end would more than pay the
cost of making it more attractive.

worm during the year

vention of further disease by stopping

the hookworm commonly thrives
where it is warm and moist, as in
mines, tunnels and cultivated fields
The solution of the hookworm problem

Stiles recent experimental work has

Why has Woodrow Wilson suddenly
doomed up so large in the limelight OF
public opinion? 1t is because, after
being inaugurated governor, he ac-
complished more in four months
than had been done in twenty
years of machine rule. He gave
the people election reform and
public utilities reform; he gave the
workingmen security against the care
lessness of employers; he gave the
people protection against the slow
poison of cold storage; he made
bribery and vote buying not only pun
ishable but despicable; he established
the binding force of primary elections
These are only a few of the most i'm
portant Of his achievements, but they
are enough to show what manner OF
man he is.

THE ROCKEFELLER COMMISSION
For the Eradication Of Hookworm
Disease.

Much of the good done by the Rookie
teller commission for the eradication
of hookworm disease has been due
to the cooperation of newspapers, and
especially of Southern newspapers, ac-
cording to the Journal of the American
Medical Association, which, in a re-
cent issue, states that the press has
given cordial cooperation to the WORK
of the commission. I'VE can not too
strongly insist on the importance OF
their most resolute support to this
movement" says the Journal. The
whole problem OF control OF epidemic
diseases lies in educating the people
up to the point of working out their
own salvation. Much has been accom-.
plished by public exhibitions and lee.
lures, well written popular articles in
current magazines and periodicals, and
personal work by physicians them
selves" The striking result of one
years work is shown by the reports
of the Rockefeller commission recent
ly issued. This commission opened its
offices in January, 1910, and so has
been in operation only for little
more than a year. Mr.. Rose, the ad-
ministrat!ve secretary Of the commits
sion, reports on the work done in in
vestigating the geographical distribu-
ton of hookworm disease, while DR..
Charles w. Stiles, the scientific sec
retary, reports on the methods used
TO remove the cause.-the pollution OF
the soil in the infected districts. Seat
tered hookworm infection has been
. demonstrated in all the Southern
states. including Tennessee and Ken
lucky. also in Oklahoma, Nevada and
California. In Virginia 81 out Of 100
counties. in North Carolina 81 out OF
9S counties, in Georgia los out of 14t
counties. in Alabama GO out OF g.
counties. and in Mississippi 60 out OF
I 76 counties were found to be infected
Infection was found in the mines OF
4 California to be so severe as to be
matter of great economic Importance
The methods used for popular educa
ton have included the cooperation o.
physicians by means of bulletins, let
tiers and personal interviews; public
demonstrations free lectures, medica
examinations of school and factor!
children and distribution Of literature
treatment of the infected poor b,
means of voluntary contributions ant
free treatment as in Virginia ant
North Carolina; free dispensaries a
in Mississippi, or the payment of
bonus for each patient cured as Il
Florida. The newspapers in all Of tn
Southern states have been in Thorough
sympathy with the movement.
During the year the commission ha
) spent over $4,000 while the variou
Southern states have spent $4,000
making total expenditure of abou
100000 for the eradication Of hooi
worm infection. The best shown
, made by any state is that of Florida
which had instituted a campaig

fact that he is a scion of one of the

1t is inconceivable that there is
working agreement between Bill

iect of nominating Champ Clark for
president. 1t is said that Hearst's
newspapers are boosting Clark, but
they will have no influence on demo-
Gratis. Bryan expressed a preference
for Clark some time ago, but the Com

Besides those in the capital city,
there are about thirty thousand Amer

friends of these are uneasy about
them. but our opinion is that their
only danger is from bandits. They
have nothing to fear from the soldiers
of either army or from mobs, When
they are heard from it will be learned
that in almost every instance they

he has been all along his transconti-

universal that no other name will be
