As the soil in each set of tanks was
alike, and as all other conditions ex.
cept the cultivation were Identical it
necessarily follows that the reduced
amount of water required to produce
a pound of dry matter in the cultivat-
ed pot was due to the cultivation and
it's effects.
There is, then, a double reason for
cultiVating your crops. You not only
hold the moisture in the soil by pre-
venting evaporation from its surface.
but you make it possible for the mois-
ture retained to produce in some in.
stances more than twice as much
plant growth. This means that by the
practice of cultivation you can make
your irrigation water cover just twice
as much ground.
There is a marked variation in the
amounts of water required for diff
ferent varieties of plants. For exam
pie, all other conditions being equal
the potato plant requires more than
two and one,half times the water to
to produce a pound of dry matter that

PHYSICIAN SAID ECZEMA
CAME FROM TEETHlNG

when my little girl was about eight
months old, she was taken with very
irritating breaking out, which came on
her face, neck and back When she
first came down with it, it came in
little watery-like testers under her
eyes, and on her chin, then after a few
days 1t would dry down in scaly, white
scabs. In the daytime she was quite
worrysome and would dig and scratch
her face nearly all the time.
q consulted our physician and
found she was suffering from eczema,
which he said came from her teething.
/ used the ointment he gave me and
without any relief at all. Then
wrote for book on Cuticura, and pur-
chased some Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment at the drug store. l did as I
found directions in the Cuticura Book
let, and when she was one year old,
she was entirely cured. Now she is
three years and four months, and she
has never been troubled with eczema
since she was cured by the Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment
(Signed) Mrs. Freeman Craver, 311

Ointment are sold everywhere, a sam

HARD TO DROP
But Many Drop 1t.

A young Calf. wife talks about
coffee:
1T was hard to drop Mocha and
Java and give Postum a trial, but my
nerves were so shattered that l was
a nervous wreck and of course that
means all kinds of ills.
'At first I thought bicycle riding
caused it and gave it up, but my con-
dition remained unchanged. | did not
want to acknowledge coffee caused the
trouble for was very fond of it.
About that time a friend came to
live with us, and / noticed that after
he had been with us a week he would
not drink his coffee any more. l asked
him the reason. He replied, I have
not had a headache since l left off
drinking coffee, some months ago, till
last week, when began again, here at
your table. l don't see how anyone
can like coffee, anyway, after drink
ing Postum! . 2.
Il said nothing, but at once ordered
a packag- of Postum. That was five
months ago, and we have drank no
coffee since, except on two occasions
when we had company, and the result
each time was that my husband could
not sleep, but lay awake and tossed
and talked half the night. We were
convinced that coffee caused his suf
fering, so we returned to Postum, con-
WINGED that the coffee was an enemy,
instead of friend, and he is troubled
no more by insomnia

weight, and my nerves have ceased to

WASHINGTON. d. c., May IL
The eighteenth volume of the Year
book 191I has just been issued by
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. In appearance and makeup
il differs but little from its predeces-
aors. 1t contains thirty-one articles,
sixty-seven full-page illustrations, Of
which nine are colored, and twenty
text figures.
The departments appreciation of
the services Seaman Asahel Knapp
rendered to agriculture during his long
career is indicated in the selection OF
his portrait as a frontispiece, and in
printing his biography as the first ar
ticle in the volume.
The fifteenth annual report of the
secretary for the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1911, occupies the first l4Z
pages and gives a general report of
the operations of the department,
which under the law must form part
of the volume. This report supple
mented by the statistical matter found
in an appendix of 200 pages gives a
more complete and comprehensive
summary of agricultural conditions in
the United States than can be found
in any other single publication.
The 354 pages comprising the body
of the volume contain the thirty arti-
cles contributed by the members OF
the scientific force Of the department,
and present data upon many of the i'm
portsnt questions now occupying the
attention of agriculturalists, topics
equally vital to the agricultural and
urban popu' alton, both as producers
and consumers of the food stuffs OF
the nation.
The importance of the forests to the
agricultural welfare of the country
and the prominence of forestry in the
departments work are reflected in two
papers. entitled "Tree Planting by
Farmers" and THE Business Aspect
of National Forest Timber Sales
Closely connected with this work
and especially interesting to the resi-
dents of many parts of the West is the
cultivating of the arid and semi-arid
soils of that region; hence the papers
relating to dry farming and irrigation
entitled. Some Misconceptions Con
corning Dry Farming" "The Water
Economy of Dry Land Crops POS
siblities and Need of Supplemental If
rigation in the Humid Region 1.-THE
Value of Snow Surveys as Related tc
Irrigation Projects" and "The Pres
ent Outlook for Irrigation Farming
will prove of value to farmers and 9th
err dwellers in that section Of the conn
try.
The two papers on the ''Primar,
| Principles in the Prevention anC
Treatment of Disease in Poultry" ant
"The Handling and Marketing o
Eggs" together with the articles OF
"The Reduction of Waste in Market
ing" and the Commercial Methods o
Canning Meats will prove of interes
not only to the general public but t.

NO CLEANUP DAY
UNLESS HOLIDAY

Whereas, 1t is the conviction of
the executive committee of the annu-
al Cleanup day that the same cannot
be conducted successfully unless there
be a special public holiday for the
cleanup operations, and
Whereas, 1t is impossible to secure
necessary carriage equipment and vol
unteer assistance excepting upon a
special holiday. Therefore be it
Resolved, that unless this com
mittee be apprised not later than ~
noon, June 10, 1912, that a special
public holiday will be proclaimed for
June 20, 1912, the entire project for
the second annual Cleanup day be
abandoned till further notice"
This resolution was adopted unani.
mously at a meeting of the Cleanup
day executive committee held Satur.
day afternoon, and a copy of it con-
veyed by President B. Won Damn and
Secretary George G. Guio to Acting
Governor Mott-Smith at Waialae i'm
mediately, the bearers motoring to the
place. The acting governor promised
to give his answer at 10 o'clock to-
day.
Besides the opinions of chairmen of
working committees present, members
representing the Portuguese, Chinese
and Japanese gave their views, and all
agreed that without a public holiday
the attempt to clean the city would be
a farce
