'anama Canal Tolls Up to Congress

tolls for American vessels In the
coastwise trade is one of the momen-
tous phases OF the problem.
Just at what figure to Ak the tolls.
Senator Bristow pointed out. is some
thing difficult to work out, Many in
teresting and important factors enter
into the solution. 1t is expected that
the canal will cost $4,000, 900 or more
year to maintain. This sum ought
to be made up by tolls. II feasible. he
says.
"The problem is to put the tolls at
the point where they will bring In the
most revenue" said the senator.
"Ships. for instance. between the east
coast of the United States and tue
west coast OF South America naturally
win use the canal. But II the tolls
are fixed too high vessels starting
from or going to points far down on
the Pacific coast Of South America
will go around the Horn in preference
to using the canal. II the tolls are
sufficiently low most of the business
will pass through the canal.
"The same thing is true as to ves-
sells between Europe and the west
coast of South America. High tolls
will drive many of these vessels
around the Horn. while low tolls will
bring many of them through the canal.
On the rate of tolls will depend, too.
whether vessels from Japan bound for
Europe use the canal or 60 by way OF
Suez. Many points have to be con-
sidered. therefore. in fixing the tolls"
Senator Bristow believes the canal
will be success He does not ex-
pect an enormous business through 1t
at the outset. He points out that this
business will be growth, just as in
the history Of all waterways. He esti-
mates that million tons Of traffic
now carried by the Panama Railroad
and the Tehauntepec line and other
trans-continental lines will be turned
into the canal without delay, and that
the proportions OF the business will
develop gradually.

METHOD OF "DRY FARMING
System 10 Easily Applied and Con.
sIsts Chiefly In PIowing Deeply,
Pulverlxlng Soil Thoroughly.

The system of culture known as
"dry farming brought about by the
necessity OF making the most Of the
limited rainfall in that portion Of the
west where irrigation is not possible,
promises to make productive q large
area that is now undeveloped.
This method Is very easily applied,
and consists chiefly In plowing deeply.
thoroughly pulverizing the soil. pack
ing or firming It well. then during
plant growth keeping the surface we'll
stirred, which checks evaporation. ]
It has been found possible by sum
mer tilling uncropped land to store
up two years moisture for the use OF
one crop
International congresses are held
annually to promote this system OF
culture, and 1t has become far-reach-
Ing in its effect, as 1t Is applicable not
only to the vast dry region, but is OF
great Importance in warding OF the
effect of drought In all parts OF the
country, and Is great help in con-
nection with irrigation, as 1t shows q
way for the more economical use OF
water.
Whether or not dry farming will
ever reach the Importance predicted
by its strongest supporters, 1t will at
leas. make fairly productive over a
very large area, and with the tremen-
dous force and effort now behind 1t,
there is every reason to believe that In
short time methods will be worked
out that will make this system OF
culture permanently successful.
The fact that these lands Of scanty
rainfall are being cultivated with
profit at all, after going through one
disastrous failure years ago, is Of
vital Importance, as 1t points the way
to greater things In this line, and
brings further proof OF the indomt-
table force and resourcefulness OF the
American farmer.
In this as In all other efforts he is
bringing science strongly to his aid.

er any disposition to hang back--the
system Is demonstrated success,
It is the intention Of the board Of
trustees. Just as soon as they get
around to It. to devise a plan for an
extension Of the postal bank system In
the larger cities. At the present time
Chicago. New York and other of the
larger cities have only one bank and
that at the main Office. Nevertheless
the latest report received by the de-
partment indicates that In the four
larger cities deposits ,aggregating
$350.000 were made In the first nine
teen days these Offices were open. In
no one of these cities do the postal
banks reach the actual seat OF the for
eign population. AS matter of fact
they are all practically located In the
heart OF the business section.
The next move will be to permit the
branch post ofiices. OF which there Is
at least one in all large cities In prox-
unity to each branch Of foreign popula-
tion, to receive deposits and also to
redeem deposit certificates.

TlLLAGE DRY FARM SECRET
Must Be Good as to Time as Well as
to Amount and Quallty--keeps
Moisture In Soil.


Dry farming was the term originally
used to describe the methods OF farm
ers In generally irrigated country who
cultivated land above the level OF the
irrigating ditch. or In nonirrigated
sections where the annual rainfall
was less than twenty inches.
It has been shown by actual expert
ment that twelve inches OF effective
rainfall during the growing season OF
wheat planted In soil In good condi-
ton as to moisture should produce q
yield OF forty bushels to the acre. and
that. on the same basis, twenty-five
bushel yield might be expected from
rainfall OF rs inches. In most OF
the arid and semi-arid sections OF the
country the annual rainfall 10 In ex-
cess OF ten inches. The work OF the
dry farmer Is to cultivate so as to re-
tain this moisture In the soil for the
use Of his crops.
Don't call 1t dry farming: speak
of 1t as good farming said Prof. H.
w. Campbell, In an address before q
| dry farming congress at Minot. s. D.
The professor, who Is sometimes
styled the father OF the dry farming
method" went on to say that he was
no longer much concerned about COM
batting lack Of moisture, but was try
ing to spread the gospel Of good till.
age and OF bending every effort to-
ward increasing the yield.
Dry farming, In the technical sense
in which 1t has been used of late
years. is impossible without good TIL
age. Good tillage--and that means
good as to time as well as amount and
quality--is the whole secret OF dry
farming. The system has. however.
produced crops in Utah and portions
of Colorado and Wyoming where SO
little rain falls that the drops Of q
season can almost be counted
Dry farming saves the drops. It pre-
serves them from the thirst Of biaz-
ing sun by cultivating q "dust blanket"
over the soil which they have moist
ened to the extent of their capacity.
The directions are: Plow about the
middle of June. Plow six or seven
inches deep; some say twelve to four
teen, but this Is determined by the
character Of the soil This allows what
rainfall there may be to penetrate to
the subsoil. Subsequent and frequent
cultivation causes the formation Of q
dust blanket" which prevents surface
evaporation. Crops derive their nour-
ishment from the moisture In the sub
soil. The latter serves the dry farmer
the same purposes that the reservoir
serves the irrigation farmer.
As an example OF crops grown under
dry farming methods. there are rec
ords for 1909 of 1872 bushels of 4S
pound oats grown on land cultivated
and stored with such moisture as was
available. and In the succeeding year.
when there was no rainfall after July
81. the yield on the same land was 81
bushels of oats per acre. weighting 80
pounds per bushel.
