Circulars are being sent out by
advocates of late planting of cotton
informing the farmers that for so
cents a pamphlet worth millions
to the cotton industry" will be
sent free of postage. The gov
ernment has exploded the late
planting theory, and observa-
tion proves 1t to be fake idea. In
fact, following such mild winter
as we have just had, it looks like
foolishness to expect results from
cotton. whether planted early or
late.

This has been one of the finest
winters for blowing we have ever
had. The farmer who is not TAX
ing advantage of it may have a
years regret for his folly. We
have about an average rainfall-5o
inches-each year. If the bulk OF
it should fall at planting time,
catching the majority far behind
with their work, many plans will
have to be changed.

WOMEN ARE READY TO
TAKE MEMS PLACES
No Matter What the Work, They Are
Eager to Help During the Time
When English Are Away
IN War

London. Sept. "a. Remarkable testl-
mony to the eagerness with which wom-
en- want to fill the places of men who
have been called away from England to
fight for their country is given by the
Women's Emergency corps, which under
the leadership of the Duchess OF MARI
borough has compiled register OF up
wards of $4,000 names of women who
desire to be of service.
How diverse the jobs they seek" says
Mrs. Flora Annie Steel, in writing OF the
work of the Women's Emergency corps,
"may be guessed by the entries of over
100 NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of whom speak
less than four languages, and some OF
them ll!-of more than 200 expert
horsewomen ready at few hours notice
TO serve at home or abroad, and who are
quite capable of managing OF working
in remount camps. Many of these, hay
ing shot and camped all over the world
are eminently suited for rough work.
Then there are $50 expert motorcyclists
eager for patrol or dispatch work, and
endless stalwart young women for such
iobs as omnibus conducting, milk deliver
ing. gardening and the farm work that
is generally done by lads of 10 or 20.
aOf course, behind and beyond these
more or less freak volunteers comes the
great army of nurses, domestic workers,
clerical agents, and the numberless we'll
educated, intelligent women who are
fully capable of shop and general bus
mess work. Naturally enough, qualified
doctors, nurses, and dispensers are draft
ed out as soon as they come in. Cooks
and domestic servants follow suit; but
every days register points 30 the fact
that we have here a mighty agent for
the national good.
And so the Women's Emergency
corps feels itself justified in making an
offer to the war Office, the government
and the country at large-namely, that
they are prepared to hnd a paid substi-
tute for any man who enlists; such sub
stitute to guarantee to leave the job on
the mans return and 20 take over the

stand as a friend between the mans de-
pendeuts aud the cold world.
This is a big offer; i is one which
naturally will require adjustment TO each
individual case; but Il y one which
holds enormous advantages. enormous

UNDERGROUND WATER SURVEY.
Tells of Possibilities for Irrigation in
Estancia Valley, New Mexico.

One of the most interesting remnants
of prehistoric lake in the United
States, according to the United States
Geological Survey, is that now known as
Estancia valley, which lies south of SAN
ia Fe and east of Albuquerque. \. NJ.
From examination Of the deposits in this
section biologists are of the opinion that
this lake existed at the same time as
Lake bonneville. in Utah, and other an
Gent lakes Of the arid West, during the
cold, humid glacial period.
The theory Of the existence Of an an
Gent lake in the valley is based on the
presence of shore features and lake sedi-
ments. Sea cliffs, terraces, beaches
beach ridges, splits. and bars are found
on all sides OF the lake fat, at aiti-
tudes between 6.l00 and 6,200 feet above
sea level.
During recent wears insufficient rain-
fall has caused crop failures and has ere
ated an urgent demand for an investiga-
ton Of the feasibility of irrigating with
ground water. In response 20 tins &c
nand the valley was examined by Oscar
r Meiuzer Of the United States Geology

Sioux Falls Argus Leader: Charles
Pottinger, of Valley Springs writes
the Argus Leader, asking if it is
against the law in this state to kill
the bluejay. He says that he stop
ped another citizen from killing a
bluejay and that then a dispute arose
as to whether or not the blueiay is
protected by the law. In the last
compilation of law made by the state
game warden, it is shown that the
only birds exempted from the pro-
lection of the law are the English
sparrow, the blackbird, the horned
owl, the sharp Skinned hawk, the
crow, the maybe, the camprobber
and the blue crow. Inasmuch as the
bluejay is not named in the exemp-
ton list, it must follow that it is
protected by the law though it has
many enemies among the bird lovers
because of its lawless conduct
towards the nests of the weaker of
the feathered tribe.
