News Letter.
Department of Agriculture Embarrass-
co by Growth In Popularity-Look-
ing for Some Way to "side-
step" Without Hurting Any
Ones Feelings.

Washington.-Agai the department
of agriculture is suffering from an ex-
cess of popularity The last time it
ran into an embarrassment of this
sort was when the past spring 1t is
sued its now famous bird book"
which was a manual of the common
farm and orchard birds of interest to
farmers. There was such a shoal of
requests for copies that the depart
ment has never been able to catch up
with the requests.
This time it is in connection with
the weekly news letter" that Secre
tary Houston undertook to get out as
a sort of compensation to the $4,000
crop correspondents who get no other
reward for their services. The first
issue of this letter has just been put
out. 1t consists of about 1900 words
OF typewriting. giving in popular Ian
guage and paragraph form summaries
OF bulletins and other things of i'm
mediate interest to agriculturists.
The intention was to get out an edi-
tion just large enough to supply the
correspondents. The first number con-
tanned paragraphs about investiga-
tions into seed adulteration damage
to the market value of hides by the
cattle tick, action against misbranded
insecticides, etc, of direct interest to
farmers. There was an immediate
flood of applications for the letter
from country papers and besides other
things a request that copy be sent
to each of the $4,000 postoffices for
posting for the benefit of visitors
All this was quite complimentary,
but the appropriation for white paper
alone to meet such demand was too
much of a drain. and the mechanical
facilities for printing and mailing all
the copies were entirely inadequate.
So the department is now looking
around for some way to sidestep grace
fully without hurting any ones feel
ings.

Keeping U. S.
Rifles Clean.


ordnance officers, and n determined eff
fort is being made to prevent the
condemnation of thousands of rifles
that are turned in as worn out when
they are really serviceable. A circular
issued last week declares that one of
these rifles should be capable of fir
ing 5000 to $4,000 rounds before be-
coming so worn as to be inaccurate.
Many of the rifles turned in as un-
serviceable are found to be in this
condition more through want of care
full cleaning and the use of abrasives
than by any reason of the actual num-
ber of rounds fired. Therefore, 1t has
been ordered that such guns as are
worn at the muzzle with barrels rust
ed or pitted, sign that they have
not been properly treated. shall be
tried out by expert riflemen, and not
condemned unless they show marked
inaccuracy at the targets.

ney has never stood up within the

been a leaning chimney for many
years, but in view of the tenacity
and persistence with which it leans
one would hesitate to call it a de-
crepit chimney.
This old chimney leans as much as
it did when 10th street was only 18th
street and no more, when the Sec
tion over which it leans was gener-
ally called Meridian Hill neighbor-
hood, and before rich men began to
build residences in that section.
Friends of the crooked chimney
felt that in the late storm the end OF
it had come. They felt that its bricks
and mortar and its topping tile would
be scattered on the ground But the
chimney never lost a brick.
On the west side of 10th street, at
the intersection of Columbia road and
Mount Pleasant street. is row of

PLAN SURVEY OF
100000 ACRES

Phoenix. AriZ., July A vast area
Of Arizona land is to be surveyed An
application Of the state land commits
sion for the survey Of three and a half
million acres in Arizona has been
granted by the general land office 1t
is expected that the work of surveying
this land viii be completed by the first
Of 1915 and will cost about 100000. 1t
Will begin as soon, as survey parties
can be formed and put in the field.
The land TO be surveyed lies In all
parts Of the state. It is not now open
to selection for the state by the COM
mission because IL IS unsurveyed.
When a certain block is surveyed and
the survey is approved at Washington,
the land commission has exclusive
right for 60 days to file on the land
therein. After the expiration Of 50
DAYS the land is open to public entry.
Usually it costs the land office about
$1,000 township to make surveys, but
as preparations cannot be made TO
survey $500, 900 acres without cessation
till the work is finished. the cost can
be cut materially. That area is APP
proximateIy $50 townships, and it is
believed that the total cost will not
exceed 100000.
