DRY FARMING
in The WEST

at all other times, the Secretary
OF Agriculture keeps pretty busy
saving wood and working for
the agricultural advacement of
the country. One of the greatest
things which the Secretary has
done has been the encouragement
OF the farmers in the semi-arid
sections of the United States
where the rainfall has been &C
counted insufficient for agricult-
ure, but where, with scientific
methods, it has been demon
strated that good crops can be
raised and the boundaries of the
Great America Desert" can be
pushed back upon the map until
the alleged desert shrinks up al
most to nothingness.
The United States Department
OF Agriculture has for several
years been carrying on investi-
cations and accumulating data
regarding dry land agriculture in
the Great Plains, and in compli-
auce with the urgent demand
made by settlers, actual and
prospective, for information cou-
cerning the best methods of farm
ing in that section, it has issued
two bulletin, giving publicity to
such facts and figures as have
direct bearing on the subject, al
though 1t is not claimed that
sufficient data have been accunu-
lated to form a basis for final
conclusions.
The results announced are,
however, of sufficient Importance
to deserve careful considera ton,
and they throw strong light upon
the controverted questions OF
summer tillage, continuous crop
ping and crop rotation, and show
that i'll addition to actual rain
fall the questions of evaporation
, and run-Off have much to do with
the successful production of crops
: in those sections. Accurate in
formation regarding the precipi
tation i'll many sections of the
West is now available as the re
suit OF the extended opera ton:
of the United States Weather
Bureau, many of the records are
complete for years, and being o
value to the prospective settler
have been computed in rainfall
7 tables and have been included il
the bulletins.
The bulletins treat to a greater
or less degree upon continuous
cropping as compared with alter
nate cropping and summer til
lage, upon crop rotation com
pared with continuous cropping
and the relative farm value o
crops of wheat, oats and barley
AS produced by the various rota
tions and by continuous crop
ping. The question as to th'
relative merit of disking the corr
stubble for spring wheat anC
oats and summer tillage, anC
the relative merits of fall ant
spring blowing receive consider
/ able attention and are discussed
in one or the other of the bulle
tins in connection with the dis
! trIbution of rainfall, rapidity G
evaporation, and the amount @
moisture conserved by the dil
ferent processes.
Prospective settlers are apt t.
give very little attention to tn
a climate features other than tn
4 total rainfall They do not al
ways assure themselves that tn
i figures given for a particula
region represent the normal rain
fall and not simply the rainfal
8 for a single year They igno r
almost completely the irequenc
of torrential rains, the seasona
distribution of the rain, the los

THE RECALL
OF JUDGES

who suggest this ought to know
better. A judge has no right,
except as the law gives it to
him, and the people make the
laws. The judges right to de-
clare a law unconstitutional is
not an inherited right. 1t is
granted by the constitution, and
the constitution is made by the
people. In fact, the constitu-
tion is distinctively a popular
instrument. Individual rights
are protected in constitutions
because the people who make
the constitution want those
rights protected, and the people
who make constitutions can be
trusted to deal as fairly with
Judges as with other officials.
The argument that judge can
have any power not conferred
upon him by the people or can
rlghtfully exercise power contra
ry to the wishes of the people is
either a relic of past monarchy
from which we have departed,
or a foreshadowing of the plu-
tocracy which some seem to
desire.
The attempt to appeal to re-
ligious prejhdice is as absurd as
it is inexcusable. The religious
belief of the people is more Sc
cure in the hands of the people
themselves than anywhere else.
Equally aside from the line of
legitimate argument is the argu-
ment that the people may act
in anger or excitement. Elec-
ton laws provide tune for de-
liberation, not as much time as
some of the predatory corpora
t1ons have taken to wear out
the patience of the people by
postponement and delays but
time enough to allow thought
and deliberate judgment.
1t is argued that the purpose
of the recall is to make the judi
ciary subservient to the popular
will" To what will ought the
judiciary to be subservient? Not
unpopular will? Wehave enough
evidence that judges are human
to enable us to withstand the
appeal now made to us to put
our judges in a class by them
selves. Have we not seen inhu-
tial criminals escape just punish
ment through their power to
touch the sympathies of the
court, and have we not seen
Judges decide political questions
with just as much political bias
as the ward politician? What
state has not had its examples
of political judges-and Judges
are just as likely to be partisan
when they secure an appoint
i've judgeship through a pull as
when they obtain an elective
judgship through their push
Have we forgotten the electoral
commisson of 1876? Did we
not have five supreme judges or
that commission, and were they
not the senior judges in length
of service, and did they not de
eide according to their politlca
bias just as the senators anC
representatives do? 1t so hap
pened that three of the judges
were republicans while only two
were democrats, therefore HtlVe'
was seated. Had there beer
three democrats instead of two
in the judicial group of the cleo
toral commission Tilden woulC
have been seated. Itall depend
cd upon the vote of one judge
and his vote depended entirel,
upon his party affiliations. H

tions were presented and might.
