BRITISH LABOR STRIKE
ENTAILS HEAVY LOSSES
Dockmen Still Out in Liverpool,
But an Early Agreement
Is Predicted.
A STREET VIEW.

LONDON, August 23.-Progress to-
ward a settlement Of the labor troubles
at Liverpool was made today, when the
chairman Of the tramway committee re-
instated number Of strikers on his own
responsibility. The dockmen are still
out. pending a settlement with the tram
way men, but the railroad men Of Liver
pool are resuming work in increasing
numbers.
The trouble at Liverpool resulted from
the refusal of the municipality to rein--
state $50 strikers. The employees who
threatened to quit work IL the $50 men
were taken back.
Stand by Tramway Men.
On the other hand, the transport work
ers refused to resume their duties until
all the tramway men had been given en-
ployment. The railway men supported
the attitude Of the street car strikers
and threatened yesterday to call a new
strike.
Today's action OF the chairman Of the
tramway committee In taking back some
Of the strikers will lead. It Is believed, to
an early and complete agreement by all
parties to the dispute.
Enormous Losses Reported.

railroads testify to the enormous losses
resulting to the companies from last

BARE FALLow IN ARID REAs
Experiments at Indian He'd Show
Possible Yields That May pc OBJ
tanned on Fallow Lan.

The experiments conductd at In
dian Head, Sask.. at the government
experiment station. show mi vert
striking manner the possible yields
that may be obtained from growing
wheat on failow land under dW condi-
tons. The figures submitted below
cover period of 20 years. They are
field returns. which are always
smaller than returns from plsts.
The period covered begins With 1891
and ends with 1910. The average
yield of red fife spring wheat for the
said period was 1895 bushels The
average precipitation during the en-
tire period was 1909 inches annually.
This, however. does not incBde the
snowfall, hence so far the record is
incomplete. But the snow fal at In
dian Head is usually light.
In 1892 on rainfall of 6% inches
the yield was 1920 bushels. In 1894
on a rainfall of 39 inches 1t was IT'S
bushels, and in 1899 on a rainfall of
9.44 inches the yield was 1920 bush.
els.
During the same years the oat crop
on summer fallowed land gave an av.
erage of 1888 bushels per acre. Dur.
ing three of those years 1t went over
the one hundred bushel mark. In
1903, on a rainfall of 1885 inches, II
was 1892 bushels per acre. These
facts are very striking. They show
what may be expected in dry areas Of
the semi-arid northwest where the
best OF cultivation is given to the land
In 1892. on rainfall of 6.92 inches
the yield was 51.6 bushels. In 1894
on rainfall of 39 inches 1t was "a
bushels, and in 1899 on a rainfall Of
9.44 inches 1t was "a bushels.
1t should be stated, however. that
the returns in wheat were not exactly
proportionate to the precipitation. Ii
1900. for instance, with a precipitation
OF IVA inches the yield of wheat was
only 17.49 bushels. and in 1907 with {
rainfall of 1917 inches the yield wa!
Is bushels per acre. Other factors
therefore. play an important part II
determining yields in dry areas.
1t should also be borne in mind tha
the yields given relate to crops grown
on summer fallow land. This woulC
mean that return of 1648 bushels
was the return for each year in wheat
and that 41.16 bushels was the return
in oats. The one crop grown in TIVE
years would involve considerably les
labor than two crops grown in tn,
same period. The summer fallowini
of the land also prevents 1t from be
coming foul with weeds.

Farmers short of teams can wait until
the grain is cut and then can disk the
ground around the shocks, or In the
stubble following the header. This
not only stops evaporation. but puts
the ground in fine condition for plow
ing later on.
Moisture goes rapidly out of fresh

attachments are made for the plows
which pulverize the furrow as soon
as 1t is made, creating mulch on the
freshly plowed surface that stops
much of the evaporation. Some farm
ers take one section of harrow, tie
an extra horse to the plow team and
let him draw the harrow over the
fresh turned burrows This is an eco
nomical method and the land gets
