To Solve Food Question.

Philadelphia: An adequate system Of
rural credits and cooperation between
farmers in the buying of supplies and
the selling of products were advanced
as the solution of the high cost of living
by speakers yesterday at the annual
spring pilgrimage and conservation ex-
ercises at the National Farm school near
Doylestown.
"The key to the food question, which
will be the ultimate problem of the race,
said DR.. Butterfeld, president of the
Massachusetts State Agricultural college,
Giles in providing capacity or adequate
credit to the small farmer.
"The advancement of agriculture in
this country has reached stage where
further development depends upon the
introduction of improved business
rather than upon increased productivity
Science gradually is unfolding the sec
rets of natural processes, but farmers
struggle under system of rural credit
which, to say the least, does not cater
to the largest interest of the men on the
SOIL"

FIRES AFFECT FLOW
OF Streams Is the Finding In Idaho Dis
covered Since the Disastrous Forest
Fires There During the Year 1910.

Residents of Wallace, Idaho, now
claim that results of the disastrous for
est fires in northern Idaho in 1910 are
being made evident in the changed flow
from a watershed then burned over,
which furnishes the water supply of the
city. This basin included an area of
1000 acres and was formerly we'll tim
bered with trees from so to 200 years
old. These we're destroyed by the fires
of 1910. From this watershed the city
gets it's supply and the maintenance of a
considerable flow is essential.
1t is stated that before the fires the
flow of the stream at its lowest stages
was never below 1000 miners inches,
the unit of measurement which has
since been used. But since the fire the
records show that the minimum flow
has fallen to about $50 miners inches
and it is now necessary for the company
which furnishes water, light and power
to expend a considerable amount of
money each year in developing power
from steam and to use considerable
part of this power in pumping water.
Records of precipitation since 1910
show a normal supply and this seems to
demonstrate to the townspeope that the
unevenness in the flow must be due to
the destruction of the forest cover of the
watershed and not to any change in
climate or precipitation.
In view of the situation, the forest
service has undertaken to reforest the
denuded watershed. The experts of the
department, however, point out that the
planting will probably have no immed-
late effect, yet it should influence event.
ually more staple streamhow.

Honor Man Struck by Lightning.

To be struck by lightning is still
most lucky thing for the Greek peasant
if he is not killed Such a man may
indulge taste for idleness for the rest
of his life-his neighbors will support
him-and enjoy at the same time the
reputation of being more than human.
This is an inheritance from ancient days.
Artemidorus, an authority ON occult
matters who flourshed in the time of
Marcus Aurelius, commented on the
fact that while place struck by light
ming had an altar erected upon it. and
was henceforth both honored and avoid
ed, "no one who has been struck by
lightning is excluded from citizenship;
indeed, such a one is honored even as a
god" The election of Quintus Julius
Eburnus to the consulship in 1l6 B. G.
is attributed to his having been favored
thus by the gods.
