Rlcht1eld Experiment

This covered so acres in central
Utah. the tract having gentle slope Of
about one foot in 900 The source Of
seepage water was lateral percolaton
through a sand suh-statum from higher
lands. The parallel lines Of five inch
and six inch tile were laid coo feet
apart across the slope, with few lat
erals of four inch tile to tap particular
spots. The average depth was five
feet. An open trench outlet, first pro-
posed to reduce cost, was replaced by a
10 inch pipe drain. Only the very
highest portion of the 80 acre field was
producing crops when the experiment
was undertaken the balance being COW
cred with salt grass. Alter the work
was completed a great deal of wa,e
was discharged, apparently from every
part Of the system, damp spots becom-
ing dry and the spread of alkali
stopped. The writer has not at hand
the results of this experiment to date
but conditions were reported so graft
flying that other projects We're under
taken in the same locality, including
The formation Of drainage district Of
1000 acres. One Of the farmers in the
tract subjected his land to a thorough
teaching process and was confident Of
general success. The acre cost in this
experiment was Si4.O2.

New Skirts Tight

Los Angeles Examiner: It's no use,
reverend gentlemen and others!
Preach as you will, women are still
going to wear tight skirts.
New England manufacturers are
shutting down the mills because Of the
paucity Of skirts.
Merchants are begging fashions ar
biters to give them a chance to sell
more cloth.
Pulpits thunder with denunciation Of
The abbreviated garment.
But here is the latest and flnis decree
from Paris:
1.-The new skirt has very little, il
any. trim to relieve the wearer Of the
slavery of carrying it in walking from
her carriage. and clings closely to the
form. sketching the outlines OF the
figure"
Game Fashion, ruler DER queens, Of
women aged and in their teens, the tall
and short and fat and lean, those in
and out Of love, has relayed out her
new decree from on her throne in Gay
Paree, and says that skirts of latest
make must fit 'em like a glove.
She says that to be dressed Alright.
the clothes must be so doggoned tight
that woman may with greatest ease
go through her husbands purse; tn"
thin girl must add to her thin, though
she looks like a coupling pin, and as
the prices seek the heights poor hub
by's crouch grows worse.
She says the skirts must fit the tall
like speckled paper on the wall, that
short ones and the fat girls, too, will
find it a boon: that if they want to be
the class they must wear out the look
ing glass, and don the clothes cen
though it takes shoehorn or spoon.

Pins Must rave Clean Foo i

Pacific Rural Press: 1t was doubt
less started along through the ordinary
newspapers as joke, but we find it is
exciting many unwary and credulous
people, Judging from the letters we
are getting about it and it seems to be
necessary to state clearly that good
pork cannot be mad, IN the way out
lined. The plan is thus described
Zone thousand acres in Contra Costa
county has been leased by an organi-
zation comprising those who control
he garbage exported daily from the
bay cities. The land secured is said to
he some Of the choicest acreage in
Contra Costa county. and can be
reached by barges. Hereafter much Of
the swill that is consigned to the bos-
ON Of the ocean outside the ten mile
limit will be segregated and that avail
able for consumption by hogs will be
ttwed to the Contra Costa rar-n an,i
used to fatten the company's pigs.
When the pigs have been duly fattened
they will be slaughtered and brought
back to the point from which their
provender originated. Thus a sort Of
perpetual astronomical circle will be
started which should be highly lucra-
tive to the inventors and satisfactory
to the pork dealers"
One might think that the last SEN
tence would give the proposition away
as a reporters fake, but it is being
taken seriously and we have to treat
it that way. It is of course thoroughly
impracticable. The proposed food VIII
not make healthy hogs, no matter how
carefully segregated and standardized.
for two reasons: first it is impossible
to make such segregation; second, the
hest OF it if it could be separated
would kill the pigs. Feeding a few pigs
en- clean swill is one thing and not a
very good thing either, except as the
cook loves the pig and selects things
~ for him and keeps them separate.
Feeding pigs on swill from hotels. etc,
collected and carried some distance has
been tried from time to time and has
been improbable because OF disease
engendered in the hogs. These fail
ures have followed considerable effort
al selection Of materials by using sep
arate receptacles for different kinds OF
wastes. The use Of common city gar
bage is therefore, out Of the question
in the way proposed. 1t is worse than
valueless for the purpose. Good pork
must be made from clean, wholesome
food.

DRAINAGE ADVISED FOR RECLAMATION
OF VALUED IRRIGATED ALKAL| LANDS

BY Frank Adams, irrigation invesli-
cations, U. S. department of agricul-
ture, at the Fresno Fruit Growers con-
vention: During the past is or 20
years the owners Of western irrigated
lands and the communities dependent
on them for prosperity have quite gen
orally come to realize that drainage is
almost as fundamental, even il not full
ly so, as irrigation. Many hundreds Of
thousands Of acres OF once highly pro-
ductive lands have acre by acre been
rendered wholly or partially non-pro-
ductive through an excess Of ground
water in the feeding zones Of plants
and the consequent concentration at or
near the surface OF excessive Quanti-
Ties Of alkali.
While this condition obtains in every
western state, 1t is usually localized in
those sections Of each state where con-
siderable quantities Of water have been
or are now being used, where the irri-
gated lands are relatively flat and dis
tant from ample natural drainage chan
nels, or where lands are so situated
with reference to canals as to receive
lateral seepage from them, as, for in
stance, when they lie at the base of
relatively steep slopes across which
canals are run.
II the excess Of water that causes in
jury to farm were merely that which
the farmer himself applies in irriga-
ton to his own farm over and above
the immediate needs of his crops, little
general injury would be likely to occur,
because few farmers would continue
long to add water to land already eX-
cessively moist. But it is usually the
water that seeps from canals or from
higher irrigated lands, and the coming
of which the individual can not pre-
vent, that does the damage.
