In the June Woman Home Companion a con
tribuior writes about the great work that the Ma
tional Consumers League Is doing toward persu-
aiding the public not to buy goods manufactured
in sweatshops Following - an extract from the
article giving some account Of the origin and de-
velopment Of the so-called sweatshop.
In the last twenty five years since there has
been such great tide Of European immigration
into our large cities tenement districts have grown
more and more crowded and with the increasing
congestion has come a proportonate increase IN

means Of reducing the cost Of production, found

out 10 work were glad TO take work IN at home.
Sometimes they earned only PIN money and were
satisfied with low wages these old women and
little children widows and nvalids. sometimes
they were 50 poor that they were thankful to get
even the wretched wages which the manufacturer.

Roswell, N NJ, Oct. 9.-The agricul-

D. c.. want to test the dur
ability of cement drain tile when laid
to drain alkali land. and will lay 500
feet on the Capt Charles de Bremond
farm, east Of this city, in the next few
weeks
The expense will be borne by the
government under supervision of the
bureau of standards and under the di-
rectiOn of experts. Authentic bulletins
will be issued.
S. H. McCrory, chief of the drainage
investigation department, will be here
sometime in November, and E Wigg, of
the bureau of standards, will be here
in a few days to supervise the install
lation. Supervising engineer of drain
age Hart of Salt Lake City, will also
be here to assist.
Alfalfa is now SIS a ton, with a
chance for it going to $50 locally be-
fore the end of the winter.
Realizing the possible raise owing
to the drouths of the middle west dur
ing the summer, those who could af-
ford to keep the hay off the markets
have stored it.
About 500 cars are usually shipped
from the valley, between Roswell and

for Winter Feed.
Dalhart, Tex, Oct. 9-As an evidence
of what can be done in the vicinity of
Dalhart by scientific farming methods
in dry year, the following statements
can be easily verified by anyone who
Will take the time to do So
X Fahmer, manager of the John
Sigmund ranch, 20 miles west of Dali
hart, this year planted $50 acres in the
following crops: Dwarf maize. $50
acres; Soudan grass, three acres; Egyp-
tan wheat, s acres; sorghum, 65 acres:
feideretta, acres; dwarf kaffir, IS
acres: standard white maize, 80 acres;
shung tang dumas, a plant similar to
maize, SIS acres.
Mr.. Fahrner has had less than six
inches of rain on his crops, but no finer
specimens of the different grains
planted have been seen at any time in
Dalhart.
1t is conservatiyely estimated that
the maize will yield two tons to the
acre; sorghum, two and one half tons;
dwarf kaffir, something over two tons;
shung tang dumas, three tons Egyp-
tan wheat and Soudan grass in weight
per acre viii surpasS any of the above.
The results of experiments for two
years on the Sigmund ranch as well as
a number of other farms, go to show
that SOudan grass is rich in feed value
and a sure grower even in the driest
years, and many farmers contend that
in course Of time it will be relied upon
as the. principal feed crop throughout
the winters.

RAINFALL DAMAGES
TEXAS COTTON CROP

Austin, Texas, oct. 9.-Continuous
rains, covering every part of the state,
have done much damage to the un-
picked cotton, not only by washing
great quantities of the staple into the
earth. but lowering the grade of that
which remains in the boIls. While the
untimely precipitation will cause a
large falling off in the yield, this de-
crease will probably be fully made up
by the increase in price Even with
clear weather the finish f the harvest
ing of the crop will be considerably
later than last year. In western Texas
many fields have not as yet been
touched by pickers.

SCHOOL REPORT FALSE
Injustice to Schools of Villas
County----County Superin-
tendents Criticize Report.

Strong resolutions criticizing
the report Of the state board OF
public affairs on the conditions
of the country schools in the
state were adopted BY the coun-
tv superintendent associationln
convention assembled at Madi-
son last week. The report, which
appeared only in preliminary
form was a very pointed criticism
of the country school conditions
in this state. 1t is claimed by
the superintendent that the in
vestigation was made by men
who were novices at the work
and that they were men abso-
lutely unfamiliar with country
school conditions
1t is also said that the work Of
investigation was carried on in
less than one half OF the counties
of the state; that out of some
5000 rural schools only 131
were investigated and that the
investigation covered only the
dark spots and not the bright
spotsin the Wisconsin education
al system.
Rural schools in Villas county
show a high degree of efficiency
and the report submitted upon
such a superficial investigation
is an injustice to the patrons OF
the school system. The schools
throughout this county in recent
years have stood as an example
for other counties, and when it is
taken into consideration that
education in this northern part
of the state is obtained only
under difficulties, personal sacri-
fees in many cases, it is hardly
fair to the schools and those who
work for their welfare that such
a derogatory report be sent out
among the people.
