What is the Campbell System

What ID the Campbell System
There seems to b IN impression that
the Campbell System Of Soil Culture is
. sort Of agricultural prescription de-
signed for what ails the semi-arid west
that Professor Campbell discovered it
in much the same way that doctors dis
cover remedies for certain specific all
ments. The truth Of the matter . that
the Campbell system u the simplest
thing In the world. It IL the applica-
ton of the principles that govern the
movement Of water In the soil and the
methods Of its conservation, to soil till
age. The Campbell system does not
contemplate growing crops with less
water-that cannot b done. but It does
provide against the waste Of water that
10 available. It applies therefore with
equal force 70 farming under irrigation
and under dry farming" conditions.
Tho irrigator can save two-t thirds Of his
water. because he has been wasting
that much BY over irrigating. the far
mer In the ssmi-arid districts can make
. crop on fifteen inches Of rainfall. BE-
cause that is all . crop needs providing
1t is properly conserved in the soil for
the use Of the crop; the farmers In
eastern Nebraska, Kansas and Okla
homa who have bssn suffering from
periodical droughts can Insure their
crops against drought damage by en-
ploying the Campbell system. simply by
using the soil - reservoir to store the
surplus moisture that falls in the spring,
to tide over dry spell. There 10 no
thing miraculous about this. The only
thing il to know how. and then Dc it.
How il it done? How 10 the moisture
stored in the soil? BY maintaining .
soil mulch on the surface-not dust
mulch beware Of the dust mulch; the
Campbell system has no place for the
dust" mulch about which the "sx-
ports" talk 30 glibly. A cloddy soil
mulch 10 obtained BY the use Of spike
tooth harrow after . rain before the
land has bscome dry enough to powder.
Sometimes light disking IL rssortsd to.
But all this and more. the fullest In
structions can be found in Csmpbsll's

Electors or Direct Vote?

Governor Baldwin of Connecticut,
democrat, advocates in special mes
sage to the legislature an amend
ment to the federal constitution doing
away with the device of the electors
and providinb for direct vote for
candidates for President and vice
president, each state to have the same
pss )ortionate voice in making up the
81 onal verdict as at present.
he proposition of Governor Bald
would remove many sources of
Z ger arising from the cumbersome
and antiquated machinery of the cleo
toral college. There is really not a
reason in the world why the college
should be retained. 1t led to serious
conflicts between the Taft and Roose-
velt electors last year, and it may
lead in any year to splits in the dele
cations of electors that do not meet
the intention of the voters. The
Maryland electors in 1904 and 1908
were split and so were the California
electors in 1912. Governor Baldwin's s
plan would sweep away all such dan
gers and difficulties.
Senator Works plan goes further
than this, for he says the time has
come to elect President by direct
vote, thus rendering impossible any
repetition of the Tilden-Hayes con-
adopt the Baldwin plan, which would
the importance of states as entities in
presidential elections, and it might
greatly increase campaign expenses
every four years, for every vote would
be felt in the ballot box.
The country may not be ready for
the Works plan but it certainly should
adopt tthe Baldwin plan, which would
work no changes in representation and
yet would eliminate many dangers
that can arise under the electoral col
lege system.

Arresting Drunken Men

81 am glad TO see that instructions have
been issued to the police to arrest all men
seen on the streets in a state of intoxica-
tion," said a strong advocate of local
option.
Some time ago when drunkenness was
rare in public l thought the police policy
of taking 'boozy men to their homes
rather than locking them up in Jail both
humane and wise. but within the last
two or three weeks have noticed many
groggy' men coming out of saloons. The
time has come when every such man
should be arrested. 1 once lived in New
York, and have spent much time in Chi
cago- In those cities l do not recall ever
having seen an intoxicated man on the
streets. l believe now that there is no
reason why a drunken man should be
allowed to stagger along any street in
Birmingham.
IT voted for the return of the saloons
and think today that the saloon in a
city as large as this is better than a
d'spensary would be, but if liquor deal
ers are careful not to sell men who are
under the influence of lkluor more LIQUOR

A City Primary in Sight

About 5000 voters in this county
who paid poll taxes last year have
neglected to pay them this year, and
only three days remain in which to
pay them. Ons-half of the delinquents
no doubt live in this city, and 1T is
practically settled that the city DEM
ocratic executive committee will call
primary for the purpose of select
ing a democratic nominee for city
commissioner, and to vote upon sew
eral questions of municipal policy to
be submitted by the city executive
committee.
When the city primary is held nc
city voter will desire to stay out OF
it, and yet only qualified voters can
take part in it. The moral is so plain
it need not even be stated.
There are those who do not favor
the holding of primary when city
commissioner is to be selected, but
the city executive committee keeps
the dominance of the democratic party
in municipal affairs always in sight
and it says primary will be held. A
primary is not caucus and the de-
cision of a primary is invariably
sound and honest. The people can be
trusted when the politicians cannot
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-01-30

the coming revision will not be salts
factory unless an income tax can be
utilized to hold up the revenue of the
government.
The Ia schedules of the tariff have
now had hearings before Chairman
Underwood's committee, and that COM
mittee will have about six weeks IN
which to get schedules ready against
the extra session. The belief grows
that the extra session will contine
itself to consideration of the tariff
alone and that no other business Will
be transacted. A revision of the tariff
will keep the members in Washington
until July or August.
Perhaps no one thing will do more
to promote revision than the ratiflca-
ton. of the income tax amendment
and the action of half dozen legisla-
lures will be watched with interest.

Revision and the Income Tax

The assent of two more states is
needed in order to render the income
tax amendment part Of the consti-
tuition. These two votes will be secured
no doubt in New Jersey, Wyoming,
New Mexico, West Virginia and Flor
ida, although the legislature IN the
last named state does not meet until
April. The hope is that the two needed
Qualifications will come in before the
extra session is convened.
The tariff revision will almost nee
essarily call for an income tax, and
