army of meat retailers has increased
out of all proportion to the popula-
ton. There are now so many OF
them, each operating delivery systems
that the division Of profits for each
must necessarily be small. At the
same time, the 1nordinate increase OF
middlemen has forced upward the
prices of retail meats to the con-
sumner.
''To remedy this condition, l be-
lieve that the packers should also do
the work of distributing to the retail
trade. By this means we can avoid
much unnecessary waste and the
middIemen's profits can be distribut-
ed among packers, growers and con-
sumers.
"And to make it possible for small
packers to live, I favor the establish
ment by the national government of
a bureau of markets, which would
make investigations into the cost OF
packing house operations and should
publish these, together with informa-
ton of benefit to the public. 1t
should then be the duty of the federal
government to prosecute and imprison
the directors and stockholders of in
terstate corporations selling meat for
prices under the known cost OF pro-
duction. The effect of this law
would be to make it possible for small
packers to live within the shadow OF
the larger ones. The small packers
have always been the ones who kept
the prices of beef to the producer
on paying basis.
"Unless the national government
lends aid to the small packers and to
the producers, there is little hope for
this nation becoming an exporter of
beef.

FOR LIVESTOCK SANITARY BOARD.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
Wallis, Ore, Jan. 9.-The present
legislature has just been asked by the
Benton County Growers Association
to take immediate steps to control
hog cholera, through the establish
ment of livestock sanitary board
and an educational campaign to spread
information as to the nature and con-
troll of this much dreaded disease.
At the last meeting of the associa-
ton, in which $50 farmers we're
gathered, by unanimous vote the
following resolutions, submitted by
a committee composed Of DR.. Hector

we're adopted, and copy sent to the
legislative assembly:

CONVERT LIABILI TIES INTO ASSETS

Stumps in plowed fields are null
sance. Everybody will admit that.
Farm machinery is constantly being
broken by running into them and the
space which they occupy is unpro-
ductive
Unthinking farmers persist in the
assertion that they can't afford to buy
a few dollars worth of dynamite with
which to remove these stumps. A
West Virginia farmer endeavors to
show in a recent article that they
can't afford to leave the stumps in
the ground. He has figured that an
average square foot of his land will
produce at least one cents worth of
crop; that the average stump takes up
twenty-five square feet. Therefore,
every stump actually costs the farmer
from twenty five to fifty cents year.
Not only that, but the stumps are
breeding places for vermin and every
stump will have lot of undesirable
weeds growing around it, the seeds
from which spread over the adjoining
land and mix weeds with the crops.
1t is pretty large stump that fifty
cents worth of dynamite will not
take out. Once taken out, it is done
with. 1t thus figures out that the
farmer simply trades the crop over
the SnOt occupied bv the stumn for
one year for the dynamite necessary
to rid himself of the stump. II he
plants that spot and gathers crops
from it for twenty years, therefore he

tive distinction, being germ disease
carried from farm to farm by dogs,

farmers; and
''Whereas, nothing has yet been
done to prevent said disease from

which is necessary complimentary

Therefore, be it resolved, that the
legislative and executive departments
of our government be asked to use all

gets back the amount of his invest
ment in dynamite multiplied by
twenty. Ask any banker or financier
if it is not pretty good investment
that will return itself the first year
and then repeat itself twenty times
in like number of years. Capitalists
would run themselves out of breath
after investments like that if they
could be shown them. Yet the farm
owner shuts his eyes to his oppor-
tunities and leaves the stumps in his
fields to break his machinery and run
up repair bills.

CITY SOON

Depth for Steamers Behind Concrete
Bulkheads to Be Created-Sea
Boulevard Planned.

Atlantic City. July 9.-lnitial steps
soon will be taken toward the realiza-
ton of the plans for the creation of an
ocean-front boulevard and park and the
construction of wharves and slips for
the accommodation of large yachts and
excursion craft at the Absecon Inlet At
lantic City
By the restoration of the old harbor
of the inlet to the condition it was IN
in the SOS, it is proposed to afford pleas
ure and other ocean-soinG vessels a
port of entry at the popular seashore re-
sort, which at present is denied them
The construction of jetty for the pur-
pose of diverting the ebb tide of Abse-
con Bay. Beach Thorofare, and Clam
Creek through the old eastern channels
of the Sos would, those identified with
the project explain, wash the shoals
which now obstruct navigation to the
western shore of Absecon Inlet.
BY building concrete bulkheads on a
line GOO feet east of Maine Avenue and
the Boardwalk, it is proposed to fill in
sufficient space with material that could
be derived from the existing island and
shoals to provide for a park six blocks
in length and a block in width. This
park would be so designed as to embrace
drill and parade grounds for visiting
military and other organizations, ath-
letic pastimes, and flying and alighting
places for aeroplanes.
The United States government has ap-
propriated 100000, the State of New err
sey $4,000 and Atlantic City itself $4,000
toward the projected improvements, and
all that is required now is the reaching
of an agreement by the goSernment,
State, and city engineers, with the ap-
proval of those actively interested in
the plans, as to how the work may be
best begun.
Both of the latter would have a utili-
tartan and artistic value. They would
not only enhance the attractiveness of
the Absecon section of Atlantic City, but
automobilists, emerging from Atlantic
Avenue, would have a beautiful road
way to follow to the Inlet. Yachting
parties and excursionists would be able
to land at the proposed docks, and either
seek the pleasures the park might af-
ford or continue down the Boardwalk
into Atlantic City proper.

h. Just described is but a mechanical
arrangement, which most any one could
install and operate. That is true. But
the science of irrigation is in knowing
how much water to apply to the soil you
are irrigating, and when you have proper
moisture, and when you have oversatur-
alton.
This can only be done by determining
the per cent of porosity of the soil; that
is how fast the soil will receive the
water, how far it will sub out from the
tile. and no. fast 1t will sub. This
must be done before the system is in
stalled so that the tile can be placed the
proper distance apart. The water must
be regulated by this meter at the juno
ton of each lateral tile, so that it Is fed
to the soil Just as fast as the soil will
take it and no faster. That is in keeping
with the per cent of porosity of the soil
being irrigated.
My great aim is to educate young men
to become trained experts in this science
of hydraulic subirrigation, and to that
end | have planned the establishment of
