CARD FROM
ALDERMAN PARKS
Favors Continuing Mayor Maloney In
office with Adequate Salary to
Compensate Him for
Full Time.

To the Editor Of The Bryan Eagle:
can not refrain from having word
to say just at this time In regard to
our city government. have now had
one year as aldermen, to determine
how we can ever hope to improve the
efficiency of our city government.
My term of service has not been
conspicuous for anything that | have
DONE have been so engrossed with
my own affairs land SO it has been
with the other aldermen) that ! have
not had time to acquaint myself with
the details that must be known in
order to act with intelligence.
There was time in the affairs OF
Bryan when the mayor and aldermen
were merely perfunctory-the sittings
being only legislative, and the duties
of the committees were such that one
could we'll spare the time and thought
required to render a satisfactory serv-
ice.
| can not feel that we can continue
our present plan of handling our mu-
nicipal affairs and get the best results.
I II we are to successfully manage our
water, light and sewerage plants, they
will have to be under the direct man
agement of one man. If we are to have
any Improvement in the condition OF
our streets, or ever hope for an i'm
proved sanitary condition of the town,
the work will have to be In the hands
of someone whose business it is to en-
| force ordinances and see that regula-
tons are complied with. First, he
must have salary that will justify
him giving his entire time to the work;
second, he must be enthusiastic and
untiring in his efforts, and have a
thorough grasp of details If he Is to
get results.
Mayor Maloney has been unsparing
in his efforts to advance the city's
interests. He has given unselfishly of
his time when he could have been
more profitably looking after his own
affairs. | can not feel like better
mayor can be had. Free from align
ment with any special interest, in SYM
pathy with all classes of people, and
ready to do his duty in the face OF
opposition, he is peculiarly fitted for
the place he now holds.
My contention before the council has
been to increase the mayors salary to
an amount that will compensate him
for his time, and virtually make him
city manager, he to be responsible to
the council for his acts and to be gov
erned in policy by the committees in
charge of the different branches Of his
work.
We should endeavor to elect two
good, progressive men for aldermen OF
the End of April, that the council may
be able to agree on a policy that will
insure the mayor free hand in carry
ing forward the progressive program
already outlined by him.
We need to adopt business methods
in our municipal affairs. One capable
man, constantly on the job, with powe
to choose his assistants, can accom-
plish more in two years than is posi-
BILE in a decade under our present ar
rangement. e. F. Parks.

TEN RULES OF DRY FARMING.


l. Pillow deep.
Lets in big rain without run off.
Provides more feeding space for
plant roots.
More plant food made available.
II. Keep the surface soil loose.
Keeps soil moisture from evapor-
ating
Lets rain get into soil easily.
More plant food made available,
due to more moisture.
Harrow the grain after it is up
two inches or use weeder.
III. Cultivate leua1
Level soil nas the least soil ex-
posed to the air.
More evaporation from a ridged
soil.
Level soil will take in rainfall
much faster than ridged soil
On ridged soil the rain runs off
through the burrows.
The soil in the ridges dries out so
that the plant has less moist sur
face soil to draw on for food and
moisture.
Ridging the soil is most effec-
, tive way for getting rid of both the
moisture in the soil and of rain
fall.
". Summer fallow when railfall
is less than fifteen inches.
The summer fallow saves up two
years in rain for one crop.
The summer fallow kills weeds
and plant diseases.
The summer fallow should be Gull
tivated.
When rainfall is over Is inches
corn will be as good a preparation
for cr-p as the bare fallow.
v. Add organic matter to the
soil.
Holds moisture and plant food.
Improves mechanical condition of
the soil
Helps make plant food available.
Lessons drifting and blowing of
the soil.
Lessons washing of soil.
Stable manure is the best form.
Pillow weeds under when green.
VI. Keep down the weeds.
Weeds use up moisture.
Weeds use up plant food.
Weeds make it difficult for the
plants to grow.
Weeds make it hard to work the
land properly.
VII. Grow early maturing crops.
Growing conditions best in early
summer.
Winter grains better than spring
grains.
VIII. Grow corn every three to
five YEATS.
The cultivation given corn saves
moisture.
The cultivation given corn kills
weeds.
- The cultivation given corn kills
plant diseases.
Corn best preparation for grain
crop.
Corn produces fine stock food,
both grain and fodder.
Do not hill up the corn as this
wastes the moisture.
TX. Grow clover or alfalfa every
few years.
