w addition to recommending an author

secretary Daniels emphasized the need OF
naval reserve of approximately $4,000
men, saying that the Mexican situation
had demonstrated the ACCESSIBILITY OF such
a reserve.

secretary Daniels appeared TO be in
accord with the view EXPRESSED Yesterday
by Admiral Fletcher that no lesson has
been yet taught by the European war that
would warrant discarding the battleshlp
as the main factor in naval organiza-
ton.

in the eyes of many an old time
farmer who has been accustomed
to regard the signs of the sky
with anxious solicitude, believing
that only the bounty of Nature
could aid him, and that plenty of
rain is essential to the growth of
crops.
But science has achieved IT.!
Science has found out a way TO
bottle up" rain, or moisture, for
the use of future crops. The bot
tie employed is the soil itself,
The original hint was given by
Nature, as occurs in all such
cases. The application of thought
rendered the hint fruitful
II was found that in some
places-in arid regions where but
little rain fell in the course Of the
year-a deep. uniform subsoil ex-
listed in which the moisture was
stored up and protected from
evaporation by a blanket of sur
face soil. Acting upon this indi-
cation. the soil was everywhere,

where crops were desired. plow-
ed and narrowed until very
deep uniform subsoil was pro-
duced protected BY superficial
blanket
BY this method it has been
found possible to bottle up in the
deep under-so the scattered
rainfall for three or four years.
In the second year crop Of
wheat can be produced from the
first years rainfall; in the third
year one from the second years
rain, in the fourth year a crop
from the thir2 years rain, and
SO on. The cultivators are thus
rendered independent Of the vaga-
ries of the rainfall Some is bound
to come in the course of every
year. and even though It amounts
to only twenty inches for the en-
tire twelve months. by the system
of bottling up in the soil 1t can be
rendered available when wanted.

African Union Department of Ag-
riculture, says; I'VE in South

only because the country began to
weary him on account of its mo-
notony. unprogressiveness and
small demand upon his intelli-

Unwilling to Disarm.

The limitations of armament
and the naval holiday can only
be seriously considered when the
Triple Alliance-Germany Aus
tria and Italy-together with the
other great powers like France
and Russia. consent to discuss It
at a Hague conference. This they
have not yet done.
The suggestion that the United
States, in advance of an interna-
tional agreement, stop upbuilding
our navy, and thus leave national
defense and American policies at :
the mercy of any unexpected foe
should never receive serious con-
sideration.
The first peace conference at The
Hague, in 1899. discussed the linn
itation of armament, but that dis
cussion had but one result in
refusal on the part of European
nations to put it on the program
of the seccnd conference, in 1907
The United States made the
first proposal for calling the sec
ond conference, but the point was
raised that the Car of Russia
had called the first conference
and would be offended if the priv
ilege of calling the second were
denied him. Upon these repre-
sensations the United States
made the mistake of Welding, and
the matter Of arranging the pro-
gram went entirely out of her
hands.
Preliminary notes were submit
ted to all the nations suggesting
possible subjects to be discussed.
1t could not be expected that
Russia, opposing a discussion Of
the limitations of armament,
would urge it upon other nations
A number of powerful nations of
Europe soon made it evident that
even had the United States made
up the tentative program, limita-
ton OF armament could never
have found a place among the
questions to be considered.
A number of the powerful ma
tions went so far as to state fat
ly that if the limitation of arma -
ment were TO be discussed they
would retire from the conference
The Emperor of Germany, polite
in other things, almost brusque-
ly repealed Mr.. Roosevelt's sug-
gestion of disarmament. AS 1t
was desirable that all the i'm
portant nations should be mem
bers of the conference, the limi-
tation of armament was, of
necessity, relegated to the back
ground
