neet with Mr.. Gammill on Thursday

nlgnt.
Judge Maloney made an interesting
address to the club on good roads, and
said that of course it was not within
the province of the Commissioners
Court to initiate a movement that de-
manded special election to provide
means fot constructing good roads.
but all petitions for such purposes
must come from the people, and he
believes that the most important work
that could be done at this time would
be the initiation of movement, which
would ultimately result in the con-
struction in Brazos County of at least
one hundred miles of concrete road,
nine feet wide. He stated that this
could be done at a cost of $500 per
mile, building permanent reinforced
concrete bridges. He pointed out the
fact that one hundred miles of road
would reach out in all directions from
Bryan into the important districts of
the entire country and would eventu-
ally mean the completion of a system
of good roads that would cover the
entire country. Mr. Maloney's address
was received with enthusiasm and he
was urged to meet with the CONNER
cial Club on Tuesday night when the
question will be fully discussed

lutely necessary to the welfare Of the
general public and the committee hav-
ing this matter in charge was request
ed to meet with Mr.. Gammill again
this week and be ready next Tuesday
to make a report.
The matter of the loan to the rail
road for the purpose of insuring the
Identification of the line was discuss
ed. Secretary Hewitt suggested that it
should be an easy matter for the Com
mercial Club to secure seventy men
who would loan this money for three
years in order to get this service. This
phase of the question was discussed
and it was suggested that it might be
easier to get twenty men to loan two
hundred dollars each and thirty men
to loan a hundred each, which would
make the $1,000.
1t was pointed out by the chairman
of the committee that the power plant
and the improvements to complete the
electrification of the line would cost
from $4,000 to $4,000, and that Mr..
Gammill has his plans practically all
complete to go ahead with the i'm
provements If the Commercial Club
furnishes the loan as proposed. The
concensus of opinion was that with
the proper guarantee, that the money
could be secured without difficulty. 1t

troll of the farmer to eliminate this
small percentage of loss. II is SO
small as to be almost negligible.
In answer to the question as to
what to do with the male birds during
any but the breeding season, would
reply that in my judgment the best
practice for the farmer is to purchase
strong, vigorous, pure bred cockerels
of the breed he prefers each year and
mate them with the breeding flocks
Of hens about the middle Of February
When the breeding season is over,
dispose of them. Get them off the
farm. Unless an artificial and in
flated purchase price has been given,
the farmer will have gotten his money
back in the flock of strong young
chicks that are coming on. The best
breeding year for male bird is the
first year. When the first season is
over, turn him off on the market for
what he will bring. There is no OBJ
ject in keeping him around to spoil
the market value of eggs by fertiliz-
ing them and to eat up feed. A new
bird OF different stock. will be needed
for the following year.
The question of the neighbor's
rooster in this connection is very
potent one, and l hope and expect to
see within the next five years law
on the statute books of this state that
makes 1t misdemeanor for anyone
to allow male bird of any descrip-
ton to run at large in the open coun-
try or in town. When this law is pro-
posed 1t will cause much merriment;
it will be dubbed 1.-The rooster law"
and provoke some laughter, but it will
be passed. And when 1t is 1t will
save the farmers of Kansas, at a con-
sentative estimate, a million dollars
year. And let me call your atten-
ton to the fact that this money comes
into the state from outside sources,
because our eggs are mostly marketed
outside the state.

Among the means of producing first
class market eggs none is more i'm
portant or SO far-reaching as the pro-
duction of infertile eggs. A very
large percentage Of the loss which oc-
ours by the deterioration and spelling
of eggs during the hot months comes
from the appearance of the blood ring.
These blood rings mean just one thing
that the egg has been partly, incu'
bated and the embryo has died. For
some reason that portion of the heart
which pumps the blood away from the
heart beats little longer than the por-
ton which brings the blood back. The
result Ia that when the embryo dies
the blood settles at the extremities of
the network of veins and leaves a
more or less perfect pink ring.
Now, if the male birds were kept
away from the laying flocks there
would be no blood rings. 1t has been
found by experiments carried on in
Kansas by Investigators from the
Bureau of Animal Industry at Wash
ington, that AZ per cent, or nearly half,
of the total loss in market eggs during
the hot months was eliminated when
male birds we're removed from the
flock. 1t was further found by these
same observations that where the
male birds were kept from the laying
flocks the eggs, of good size and
naturally clean, collected twice day,
put in cave cellar that had tenn
perature of about 60 degrees, mar
keted twice a week, and protected
from the sun on the way to town
that 81 per cent of these eggs were
tested out by an expert Gambler as
first class eggs. This means that by
taking these pains the farmer can
practically control deterioration. A
small percentage OF eggs, probably
represented by the 3 per cent that
were second class, are second class
eggs when they are laid. For the
present. at least, 1t is beyond the con-

Most important LEGISLATION.

The Underwood tariff bill makes
sweeping reductions in the duties on
all cloth and clothing materials, 1t
abollshes the premium on the de-
struction of forests by wiping out the
duty on lumber, It puts plows, har'
rows, rakes, reapers, mowers, and all
other agricultural implements on the
free list.
1t is designed to save and doubtless
will save not less than $5OO,OOOOOO
per year to American consumers. 1t
will lower by this amount the collec'
tive cost of living in this country
The Journal repeats its previous
declaration that the prompt passage
of this bill is more important to the
American people than any foreign
crisis that as yet has lifted its head
above the horizon. Stand-pat sena-
tors are earning the contempt OF the
country by their efforts to put barriers
of talk in the path OF a measure
which the nation needs. and Is deter
mined to get-Chicago Journal.

almost without exception are proving
very favorable.
The ashy nature of the soil and the
sandy subsoil in this country causes
the water from the rains and melting
snow from the Rocky mountains to
almost disappear by seepage before it
reaches the west line of Kansas and
the strong winds and the loose porous
soil make it very difficult to farm the
land in such a manner as to conserve
the natural rainfall for plant food, SO,
in order to make any system of farm
ing (dry farming included) successful
and place it ON substantial paying
basis year. after year, some means
must be provided by which a farmer
can irrigate at least a small tract
not less than five acres each year.
Until recent years it was considered
impracticable and too expensive to
irrigate by pumping from the under
flow, If the lift was more than 25 feet,
but now with the improved pumps and
cheap oil engines which produce power
at a cost of one-fourth to one-half
cents per horse power hour, many
farmers are pumping against head
of more than rs feet and doing it at
Gosh sufficiently low to make this
system of irrigation give satisfactory
returns.
The government census for 1910
credits Kansas with 139,995 acres
capable of being irrigated; that is,
this amount of land had been devel-
oped so that water could be applied,
and plants to irrigate 21,3O5 acres
more were under construction. At

ment of High Protection.
First Of All, Its Reform 10 a Moral
Issue and 5tand-Pat Senators
Should Keep That Fact
In Mind.

While stand-pat senators haggle and
whine over the reduction Of this or
that specific duty, let the American
people remember that the tariff Is
first Of all moral issue, and the
prime purpose Of the Underwood bill
is to right the monstrOus evils en-
bodied in the Aldrich law. On this
point, the words of Ida M. Tarbell
in summing up the history OF the
tariff are more important than many
speeches:
THE history OF protection In this
country Is one long story Of injured
manhood. Tap. 1t at any point and you
will find 1t encouraging the baser hui
man traits-greed, self-deception, In
difference to the claims of others.
II makes men deficient in self
respect, Indifferent to the dignity
and inviolability of congress, weak in
self.reliance, willing to bride, barter
and juggle to secure their ends.
Therein lies the final case against It

The American people are tired OF
paying two thousand million dollars

which makes men worse instead OF
better Standpatters might as well
recognize that fact at once.

Early Action Seems Probable.

President Wilson's expectation that
congress will have passed both the
tariff and currency bills and adjourn
ed by October is not unreasonable.
The senate debate on the tariff Is
merely perfunctory blowing OF hot air
that gives evidence OF dying from
sheer hamilton; and 1t probably would
have died out ere now but for the
casual interjection of livelier topics.
The currency bill, after the Formally
OF an Endorsement by the Democratic
caucus, seems likely to slip through
the house on creased ways. 1t has
been improved by amendments until
the outside opposition 1t first encoun-
tered has almost vanished; and there
will be no organized Republican OPP
position to It in the house. Unless
some radical senators should succeed
in grating radical amendments upon
IL, there would probably be no trouble

The advantages of the pumping
plant for irrigation are that any
farmer who has water within a depth
of rs feet can put in plant if it is
nothing more than windmill to irri-
gate his garden, or windmills and an
earth or concrete storage reservoir
to irrigate an acre or two or more
and the expense of a well, cheap oil
engine and a pump to irrigate 40 acres
where the lift is Is feet would prob
ably not exceed $780, or about $3.50
per acre. The cost of irrigating with
such a plant would be approximately
five cents an acre-foot per foot of lift,
or for a 75-foot lift the cost would be
about $3.75 an acre. And If you
were growing alfalfa, which would re-
quire about two acre-feet, the cost of
watering it would be approximately
$3.50 an acre for the year. In this
system of irrigation the farmer has
absolute control of the water rights
and he can put on the amount Of water
needed at the proper time, for there
is practically no variation from year
to year in the underflow. In Colorado
on the large projects the water rights
cost not less than $50 per acre and
s per cent interest on this amounts to
81 per acre per year and then the cost
of the water used must be added,
which brings the cost up to about the
same as for pumping. However, the
duty of the pumped water is much
greater than that handled by gravity,
for the losses due to seepage are small
and the clear pumped water does not
seal up the pores in the soil like
water carving suspended matter.

One ancient and vicious tariff plea
has dropped into the background dur
ing recent discussions Of the Under
wood bill. This is the plea for PRO
lection to American labor"
American labor never had any pro-
lection save the price Of steerage
ticket from Europe. There never has
been anything, save the cost OF ocean
passage to keep the most underpaid
peasants of Europe and western Asia
from entering into competition with
American workmen at every point.
American workers have sold their
labor to a free trade market, and
bought supplies in protected" mar
ket, carefully cornered by trusts.

car Underwood to tell hhn that the
United States Steel corporation is to
resume work at once on the great
steel and wire plant at Corey, Ala,
upon which building operations were
suspended two years ago when the
first Underwood tariff bill was franz
ed. This incident points a business
fact more plainly than volumes of pros
perity speeches. The biggest corpo-
ration in America does not look upon

harbinger of ruin and the destroyer
of commercial welfare. Why should

so?
