SPECIAL FARMING TO Be
ADOPTED IN DELAWARE
uNTEosrATEs oEPARTMENTOF
AGRICULTURE TO BOOST CROP
j. A. 5onsteel Suggests a Plan That
Might Mean Better Results All
the Way Around for Farmers.

the Way Around for Farmers.
j. A. BOnsteel, employed by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. in a special study of the
adaptability of the different types of
soil to different systems of farmig,
has just spent a number of days in
Delaware to investigate our fruit and
vegetable growing. Mr.. Bonsteel re-
ferred to the fact that some of our
lands obviously required draining.
that our farmers are using more and
more the leguminous crops for soil
improvement, and in connection with
these crops are using increasing guam
titles of lime, and believes that an
other feature of special farming might
be adopted in Delaware in a moderate
way on some of the crops that bring
in larger returns per acre. and that
is a system of irrigation at critical
times. This matter has been dicuss-
ed for a number of years amOung our
fruit growers and market gardeners,
but no feasible plan has ever been
presented, excepting plans that are
too costly for large areas. Mr.. Bon
steel states that during the very dry
season of 1910 he visited a man in
Massachusetts who was just begging to
irrigate a 3O-acre field of asparagus.
The spring crop had been cut. but the
plans had become so dry that they
were not putting mp new stalks and
their appearance indicated great in
jury if not entire loss. The farmer
had large spray outfit, which he ran
down to a nearby brook, pumped his
tank full of water with his gasoline
engine hauled it to the asparagus field
and discharged it through lines Of fire
hose. In three days he covered his
entire 80 acres, at a cost Of less than
$50. This one wetting saved his crop
for the next year. while his neighbors
suffered a nearly total failure. In
our climate it often happens that
single good rain at a critical time
would save a crop, when otherwise it
would be ruined by drought. Most
of our farmers have spray outfits, and
usually water is close at hand. Oc-
casiOnal sprayings as suggested would
act as an insurance, and would, doubt
less, pay on berries other small fruits,
and in some Of our market gardening
crops. Mr.. Bonsteel's bulletin, Civ
ing the results of his Investigations
in Delaware, will be awaited with
great interest.

exploded which turned a mighty rush
of the western waters through the
displaced dyke below the Miraflores
locks, an event witnesses amid great
enthusiasm by thousands of people.

the work on the canal will be pushed

CHANGE IN BILL TO HIT CANADA
Amendment to Tariff Bill by Senate
Committee Puts Provision of Reel
procity Act in Measure.

PIONlhy nv III WSoodiSs
! Washington, June 14-Amending the
section of the Underwood tariff bill
which would place on the free list all
print paper valued at not more than
2115 cents a pound, the majoity mem
bers of the senate finance committee
today voted to incorporate in the bill
the provisions of the Canadian reci-
procity act passed in 1911.
This action would extend the free
list to include all print paper valued
at not more than four cents a pound
ION the condition that no export duty,
or other export charge of any kind, or
any prohibition of restriction in any
way of the expectation shall have been
imposed upon such paper, board or
wood pulp, or the wood pulp used in
the manufacture of such paper or
board"
Although the word Canada is
omitted from the amendment adopted
by the committee it would operate
against Canada because of that ma
tons restrictions on exports Of wood
and chemical pulp. Senator Simmons,
chairman of the finance committee,
said that other restrictive provisions
of countervailing duties aimed against
Canada which have been proposed had
not yet been acted upon by the ma
jority and that the matter would be
taken up again tomorrow. He added
that there might be reconsideration Of
the action thus far taken.
Under the reciprocity amendment,
pulp, wood, or paper could come in
free from Canada when it is the pro-
duct of free lands in Canada, lands
unrestricted by export duty or license
fee. Senator Simmons stated he be-
lieved the committee could conclude
it's work by next Wednesday and that
the Democratic caucus could then be
called to meet Immediately.

GOOD TIMES IN CANADA
BUSINESS PRosPERINe, TRADE
INCREASING AND FINANCES
IN GOOD SHAPE.

The present tightening up of money
must not be looked upon as being in
any sense brought about by financial
stringency. 1t Is really more period
Of stock-taking resorted to by the
banks to ascertain the true condition
Of the finances and trade of the coun-
try. Legitimate business enterprises
are not affected. Throughout the
States there are those who If allowed
to continue borrowing, would inev-
itably be a means towards precipi.
tating something good deal worse
than they feel now. In Canada, the
conditions are excellent, and it is
safe to say business was never bet
ter. The pulse Of trade is carefully
watched by the Finance Department
Of the Dominion government, and 1t
is illuminative to read portions of the
address, of Hon. w. T. White, the
Finance Minister, delivered few days
ago before the House of Commons.
Mr.. Whites remarks are in part as
follows:
1T falls agreeably to my lot to ex-
tend my most hearty congratulations
to the House and the country upon
the prosperous conditions which 1t
continues to be our good fortune to
enjoy. l am happy to announce that
the outcome of the last fiscal year,
which ended on March 81, will prove
even more satisfactory as rejecting
by far the highest pitch to which our
national prosperity has yet attained. /
have every expectation that when the
books are closed, it will be found that
the total revenue will have reached
the splendid total of $16S,250,00 or
an increase over the year 1911-12 of
over $32,000,000. Some indication of
the magnificent growth of the Domin-
ion may be cleaned from the fact that
this increase in revenue during the pc
Rod of one year almost equals the en-
tire revenue of the country seventy
years ago.
THE augmentation of revenue to
which l have referred has not been
irregular, spasmodic or intermittent
In its nature, but has steadily charac-
terized each month of the entire fiscal
year. 1t was of course mainly derived
from Customs receipts, but the other
sources Of revenue-excise, post office
and railways-also gave us very sub
stantial increases"
That in a period of great finan-
cial stringency not only have we not
been obliged to resort to the con-
gested markets of the world, but have
been able to reduce so substantially
1923, 000,000) the debt of the Domin-
ion, must be matter of qualification,
both to the House and to the people
of Canada.
Il believe that during this period
of exceptional money stringency the
credit of the Dominion as reflected in
the quotations of it's securities has
maintained itself among the highest
in the world"
Owing to the favorable state of its
finances Canada was in a position to
pay off a heavy loan in cash without
recourse to the issue of bills or Sc
curities.-Advertisem
