With the hope of doubling the mem

executive committee Of the member
ship committee today launched a cam
paign which, the committee feels, will
be successful TIL present membership
of the association is 500. and as re-
suit of the campaign the executive
committee hopes TO have 1000 enrolled
when the campaign ends.
In order to show this increase the
committee has enlisted the help of a
-four hundred committee" made up Of
that many members of the association.
who will become members of the
membership committee and help boost
the work.
The association now has a 500, 900
plant, and the idea is to make the
membership commensurate with the
size and importance of the association
as a community factor
Letters to Members.
The executive committee mailed to-
day the 400 letters TO as many mem
bers, asking that each one provide
three new members. II this task were
successful, the mernb ership would be
trebled instead Of doubled. but the
committee does not dare hope that
each of the 400 men will be able to
secure three new members. However,
the campaign is on, and if each one Sc
cures three~ new members. or six. so
much the better. AT any rate. the COM
n!ttee will not be satisfied unless Oct.
finds the association with a mem

Vests Monument to Peace

In San Francisco, the metropolis of the golden west,
says the Financial World, the gates have been thrown open
to a worlds exhibition of the progress that has been made
in the arts and industries since the Panama canal was frSt
projected. On this living, breathing panorama OF the VIC
tories of peace no less renowned than the victories OF war,
there has been expended over S5o,ooo,ooo.
The country does not begrudge the expenditure OF
such a large sum for the purpose of collecting IN one place
and housing them under a series of magnificent buildings
the fruits of mans energies and inventive genius.
Especially at this time has this worlds fair a s1gnltl-
cant moral to point, for there it stands before the wonder
ing gaze of hundreds of thousands of visitors from the
different states of the union who will be made to fully
realize the progress civilization can make when lett to the
pursuits of peace.
What a contrast this uplifting monument to man S
better nature with the far drearier picture that will be lett
upon the memory of the present and future generations by
the carnage on the fields of Europe which has It's genesis
in hate, greed and racial antipathies!
When visitors to the Panama Pacific Exposition look
upon the grandeur revealed to their eyes and then think OF
the absolute destruction of all these fruits OF mems ener-
eies. they will think more seriously and act more cautious
" toward every move now made by the Vaccinations OF
diplomacy to draw our country into this vortex OF human
slaughter. If there ever was a time for a nation to calmly
pursue its way in the paths of peace, that time is now.

its effects upon vegetation. The bulletin calls special at
tention to the difference in drainage practice between the
arid and the humid regions, and emphasizes the need tor
thorough knowledge of underground conditions.
To drain areas of this character will cost, it is estimat-
ed, on the average farm from $40 to $50 an acre except I'M
der unusual conditions, when the cost may run as high as
$50 an acre. Both open canals and covered conduits are
in general use. The open canals, however, are intended
primarily for the main outlet systems in which provision
must be made for a considerable flow of water. The COW
cred drains are for farm drainage proper, although, except
for the additional expense, they could be used equally well
for the main outlets. AS a matter of fact, although they
cost more than the open canals, the maintenance charges
walton and irrigation are much easier with them than with
open canals. When covered conduts are employed they
are usually made either of cement or clay tile. In some
localities lumber box drains are used, but this is usually adj
vantageous only in isolated places where lumber is cheap
and transportation rates high. The life of such a drain IS
reasonably long if the lumber is continuously wet, but If
alternate wetting and drying takes place, the material MAJ,
last only d few years.
In properly drained land bacterial activity is increased
and more plant food provided by the admission Of air into
the soil to take the place of the excess waste which has been
removed. The downward movement of water through
the soil also teaches out the excess of harmful salts, and
this is one of the most important functions of drainage in
the irrigated sections. The water removed by the drain
age system NAV be employed for the irrigation of other
areas, thereby increasing the available irrigated area.
Furthermore, drained land may be plowed earlier than I'M
drained, and in consequence may be irrigated earlier.
This is an obvious advantage in that it makes it possible
for the land to be irrigated before the supply of water be-
comes reduced.

Girl Workers Exoneroted

The city department store girl has been exonerated
of all charges of vice and immortality which have been
made against her by morbid "uplfters" during the past
few years. The New York City committee OF fourteen
has Just made public a report, based upon an exhaustive
investigation, which declares that the charge that 1t was
a common practice for women employees to exc out suftl~
cient wages by vice, and that they were encouraged to do
SO by employers were found to be baseless.
The findings of the report must have been a source OF
great satisfaction to the maligned employees OF department.
stores. many of whom were unconscious of the effort to
uplift them by s%landering their characters, but whose
moral environment could not have been greatly improved
by the widespread advertising of the uplfters version OF
their immortality.
When the crusade against vice was at its height the
female workers in department stores were selected lnJudl-
ciously by those who delight in sad facts and "revolt1ng
conditions as fit victims of their propaganda. OF course
the object of the crusade was to njure the workers IN
the stores. The maligning of their characters was an un-
fortunate but unavoidable incident to a conpaign to dis
credit employers.
We wonder how much publicity will be given to the
truth in comparison to that given to the false, and whether
the exoneration of the COMMITTEE of fourteen will dis
pei the utterly false impression of the moral character of
those women who work in stores, which has been spread
broadcast in the name of reform"

Drainage For Irrigated Lands

More than 10 per cent of the irrigated lands in the
United States which have had water for any considerable
period of time are now either absolutely reproductive or
given over to poor pastures and Improbable crops, accord
ing to a bulletin just issued by the department of agr1cul,
ture. Waterlogging and the accumulation OF mineral
salts are responsible. Even in some of the recent irrlga-
ton projects serious injury from these causes has been
wrought.
Methods of retaining land which has fallen into this
condition forms the subject of a new bulletin of the depart
ment ono. 1907, "The Drainage of Irrigated Land.
Drainage supplemented by proper methods OF cultivation,
cropping and irrigation will restore these waterlogged
areas to a condition in which they can be farmed with pro-
fit, the bulletin points out. Proper drainage will accomp-
lish four objects: () The lowering of the ground water
table to a depth where the moisture and air within the root
zone will be properly balanced. (2) The creation of an
outlet for percolating water, so that the ground-water ia
bis will not fluctuate excessively. CD The rapid removal
of excess moisture following spring thaws. CD The crea-
alton of an outlet for the downward moving water used to
dissolve out the in furious salts.
Incrustations of alkali salts and the presence of high
Nv alkali-resistant plants are frequently indications OF over
irrigation. In some cases ponds, Dogs and marshes are
also found, but in others there are no visible signs of eX-
cessive wetness and its existence can only be inferred from
