GARDEN SPOT NOW
How q Desert Was Made Into q
Garden Spot.
Told by VintOn Detwiler in the
Country Gentleman.

How land Of drifting sand was
pegged down and made into one of the
most productive garden spots Of the
country is told in this weeks issue Of
printed in Philadelphia, by Vinton D.
Detwiler in an article dealing with the
situation faced by the people of Thomas
county, near Colby, Kan, two years
ago. BLOW Away Farms That Came
Back is the heading on Mr.. Detwiler's
article.
MIR. Detwiler says:
When a section Of the country be-
gins to turn into desert. when dust
hills form and advance, cover orchards
and fences and cause farmers to de-
sert large modern farm homes, the sit
uation is serious for the people who live
there. Such situation was faced two
years ago by the people OF Thomas
county, near Colby, Kan. With brains
and hard work the shifting soil was
forced under control. and at last that
country smiles again.
The people of Thomas county did
their fighting first and now they are
able to grin a bit. That blown-out
area produced fine crops of wheat and
fine forage crops last year. Twenty
to forty bushels of wheat to the acre
will make a dry land farmer smile, np
matter what he has been up against.
and thousands Of acres Of excellent
kafir and milo make the best sort OF
lotion for eyes scared with dust short
two years ago.
To the person who visits Thomas
county now. or was there during the
growing season last year. the story of
all this fight seems like fiction. Thou
sands Of acres of luxuriant forage crops
and thousands of acres of fine wheat
last summer gave the stamp of pros
perity. Two years ago you could have
bought the land for less than the value
of last years crop
| In that part Of Western Kansas the
rainfall is very light-from sixteen to
twenty inches year. 1t is a dry farm
| ing section. and the crops best suited
| to that type of agriculture are drouth
resisters, such as kafir. milo. cane and
feterita. Without the least doubt the
growing Of these crops and the produc-
ton of cattle will build up the country
faster than any other method OF farm
ing that may be adopted. In the long
run such a system will be much more
profitable than the continual growing
OF wheat Land that is steadily CROP
ped to wheat is forced into the poor
physical condition that the Thomas
county farmer has learned to fear-a
condition marked by lack Of humus
and water-holdinx ability, not to mem
ton the bIow-away tendencies.

INDEPENDENCE DAY, 1776-1915
The United States Should Join the
Allies Against Germany.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: Your editorial under the above cap
ton in Mondays Tribune is clear exposi-
ton of the meaning TO the United States OF
the great conflict now raging in Europe, and
San arrument utterly destructive Of the Ger
man idea"
No language, however rhetorical, could bet
ter express the meaning Of that idea, or more
clearly indicate its peril to the entire world
II il should become dominant.
SO far, so good But, alas! the concluding
paragraphs through their manifest incon-
sistency, shatter the force and value of the
whole fabric After reciting in detail the
innumerable crimes of Germany against
honor ard humanity, you nevertheless observe
that mo organized portion Of the nation de-
sires to enter the great war In preserving
our neutrality President Wilson has obeyed
the will Of the overwhelming majority Of his
countrymen."
And then YOU cmphatcally ask:
"Do we need further lessons in the real
meaning of the German idea 70 awaken us
20 the real import TO America of the strug-
gle in Europe or Of the value, the necessity
20 the United States that the present German
civilization. or rather, German denial OF CIV
ilization. shall not prevail in world IN
which for centuries without number men
have been struggling to emerge from the bar
harism to which Germany now has turned for
inspiration? ?"
What Is the peril so great, and is the
United States TO meet il with nothing more
forceful than well turned phrases? Is it to
stand Idly by and in unperturbed neutral
aloofness TO calmly watch England, France,
the remnant Of Belgium and their allies
shoulder the whole burden of protecting the
world from this German denial of civiliza-
ton?
1t was not by words only that the men of
1916 met their problem and attained their
/ Independence Day.
This denial Of civilization" this "barbar-
ism Of morals unredeemed by splendid ma
chinery Of civilization" is based on and ex
plotted by force of arms only, and can only
be met and overcome by the like means By
the complete subiugation Of the military
power Of Germany, and in no other way, can
The spirit of evil with which Germany is en-
/ deayoring TO poison the world be destroyed.
Surely, you have greatly exaggerated "the
real import to America of the struggle in
Europe" or else (there is no other alterna-
tiye) the courage, the spirit, the devotion Of
the men of 1876 have not descended upon
their degenerate sons of 1915.
Then, indeed, well may you cry: "Let us
not forget 1876 in 1875

scientific knowledge Of all conceivable
needs and material"
Here is a splendid opportunity for the
new Minister of Munitions. But 1t is
doubtful whether he could deal with 1t
satisfactorily himself. What Mr.. Wells
asked for was IAN acting sub-government,
made up Of technical and scientific men.
Certainly something might be done in the
way of turning scientific knowledge and
technical skill to account. As writer IN
Nature" puts it, it is not enough to be
assured that one man is working at explo"
sives, another at Admiralty, and third at
the aircraft factory: the important thing
is to see that every technically trained
man of the universities, colleges and tech
meal institutions is concerned in provid-
ing the nation with the material it needs
and that the whole scientific intellect OF
The country is playing its part. There is a
possibility that something of this sort
may eventually come to pass, for 1t must
be clear already to the most obtuse OF
official minds that this is not one of those
wars that can lie muddled through.

ON TERRORISM
Editorial Calculated to
Breed It.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The writer is not in the habit of adj
dressing letters to the newspapers criticising
or approving their editorials. In the discus
sion regarding the present European struggle
reason has SO little play and emotion and
prejudice rule the thinking to such an ex-
tent that anybody with a German name, what
ever his ideas, is generally considered
biased
Your editorial on the shooting Of Mr.. Nor
gan, however should not remain unnoticed
and everything possible should be done to
call attention TO it. 1t deserves the condem-
nation Of everybody who is still able to use
some of his reason and who has still LETT in
him shadow Of fairmindedness toward those
who disagree with him. When you use the
outrage committed by ore crank who hap
pens TO sympathize with Germany in order
to make your readers believe that German
partisans in this country are beginning to
take their cue from the barbarity and law
lessness Of the German government" and
that they axe trying to practise terrorism
and are beginning to remove by violence
those who are supposed TO hinder Germany'5
success" il seems that the institutions OF
German propaganda are kndergartens as
compared with your editorial Office when it
comes to using anything and everything to
prove q preconceivcd idea. Does your "idce
fxe" that Germany is the one criminal in the
world to-day really obscure your mind to
such an extent as TO make you believe that
every German sympa;hizer is a criminal?
One wonders whether such an editorial is the
result Of criminal stupidity or is caused by
the belief that any means will be justified in
an attempt to convince the American public
that sympathy with the Allies is the criterion
of morality and of good citizenship.
And when you speak Of the spirit OF out
rage manifested by pro-German partisans'
and when you call for "a storm of indigna-
ton which should overwhelm the introdlcers
to our soil Of the German methods Of crime
and sayaqery which have manifested them
selves in the Morgan assault" you are using
methods generally attributed to unscrupu-
lous domagogues, who. avoiding arguments
appeal 20 the emotions Of the multitude IN
order to accomplish their purpose.
One New York paper suggests to German
American newspapers the "wlsdom of observ-
ing a greater sobriety OF uttorance," as some
cranks may misunderstood their remarks. II
this is correct, what should be said Of your
cxtravagant outpourng5 and their dangerous
effect upon irresponsible minds?
And how is it, some of SIX ourselves
that paper with your glorious past paper
that even now carries on some work and
establishes some ideals in journalism which
command the admiration OF everybody, can
stoop to the standards Of this editorial?

Indictment to A Assassination.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Permit me to express my approval Of
your editorial on July regarding the shoot

The editor of The Tatherland" is response
bic for much of this foul work. He breaches
foul doctrine and weakminded ones read it
and commit crimes. II Viereck would preach
loyalty to the United States you would find
less of these crimes.

one Hearst printed in his paper when the
beloved Mckinley was shot:
The bullet that hit Goebcl cannot be
found in all the West Good reason, it is
speeding here to stretch Mckinley on his
bier"
wonder if the editor of "Thc Fatherland'
IS trying 70 raise up a man to stretch Wilson
ION his bier"
Judging by his writings it looks to me as if
he weIc trying 10 infame some one to COM
NIT this foul act against our President. II
