COMMUNICATED
Editor Courier:

Editor Courier:
I see in your last issue that An
drew Carnegie refuses to answer the
question why ]. P. Morgan is not
interested in the world s peace. Now
let me see if / can't answer that
question.
Mr.. Morgan is one of the Ameri-
can money power that has over $685.
600, 100000 against this country,
every doll,r of which (if paid mu
be paid in days work. Now sup
pose ten hours constitute days
work. If we do away with war we
would also do away with about one
tenth of our work and to compen-
safe labor for this loss of employ
ment we would be forced to reduce
the days work to nine hours. This
would reduce the hours that it would
take to pay the big debt one tenth.
Therefore the money power is not
interested in doing away with war
and thereby losing ten per cent of
the value of that big debt.
Hence, we may not reasonably
expect Mr.. Morgan to show an in
terest in the worlds peace. Neither
can we look to Mr.. Carnegie to
answer such a question as a large
part of his princely fortune was
made out of the manufacture and
sale of armor plate for warsh-ips,
that plutocrat's like Morgan & Co.
have cau.ed to ! g built.
Have l answered the question?
Yours truly,

DAMAGES IN IRRIGATION

DR.. Galloway, chief of the bureau
of plant industry, in his testimony
before the house committee on ex-
penditures in the agricultural de.
partment, gave serious warning
to the people occupying irrigated
lands. In this testimony he init
mated. as among tina possibilities,
that there was danger of the COM
plete exhaustion of lands under IT.
rigation by the wearing out of the
soil through saturation. He hoped
that the department before long
would be able to point the way
toward putting farming on irrigated
lands upon a frmer basis.
The warning is of great importance
to the state, for the products of ir-
rigated farms have become of i'm
mense Importance and value here,
and more land is being rapidly
put under irrigation. In some Sec
tons there is no doubt that the
warning is seriously needed. It is
true that damage has been done
in many parts through over-irriga-
ton, which was a natural practice
among the pioneers in this branch
of farming, at time when the sup
plies Of water were over-abundant
and there was no fear of water
waste.
Through too much irrigation al
kali was brought to the surface and
the soil injured. In other places the
fertile elements in the soil were
leached out by over-irrigation to a
depth where they were no longer
available for plant food.
These dangers will be lessened in
the future. Farmers on irrigated
lands are learning to use the water
with more moderation. Indeed,
they are often compelled to do 80
because the supplies are no longer
adequate for the extravagant use of
water formerly common. AS evils
develop they will doubtless be cor
rected, and the agricultural depart
ment is equipping itself, according
to DR.. Galloway, to point the way.

GET YOUR GARDEN PLOT READY

1t will soon be time to plant some
of the garden seeds which we are
sure all good farmers have already
provided. No plot of ground gives
better returns than well kept gar
den; yet many would-be successful
farmers havn't time to spend on it.
1t the plot has not already been
prepared, it should be literally
treated to barn-yard manure and
plowed as soon as the ground is in
shape. Then SOW hardy early veg
etables, lettuce, radishes, peas and
onions from the middle to the last
OF February. The best returns we
had last year came from these early
sowings. We are experimenting
with lettuce and spinach sown in
November.
If you have not already done so
get some pieplant or rhubarb roots.
A dozen will be enough, and fifty
asparagus roots. Put them out as
soon as you can in March. The
ground is in excellent condition now.
The snowfall which Inconvenience
us so much for the last two weeks
was just the thing needed by the
thirsty earth and has put it into fine
shape for the early paintings.
Those of US who have been used
to purchasing our fresh vegetables
at two prices from the grocery or
provision store will surely appre-
ciate the abundant store of good
things really fresh and crisp direct
from their own gardens at the ex-
pense of only little enjoyable work.
