.HALTs SOIL SURVEY WORK
State Notified That Failure to Ap.
propriate Money Means Govern.
ment Cooperation Precluded.
REGRET ACTION oFslEaIsLATURE

Soil survey work in Minnesota hal
been brought to sudden stand still
because of the failure Of the recent
legislature to make any appreDria-
ton for that purpose. The bureau
of soils of the department of agri.
culture at Washington has notified
DR.. F. J. Away, chief of the soils
division of the department of agri-
culture of the University of Mime
sofa, that the failure of the legisla-
ture to provide funds will preclude
cooperation on the part of the FEEDER
al government. 49,.
A few years ago the government was
making surveys in various states at
it's own expense. This plan was
discontinued and assistance was
rendered in only those states which
met the appropriation of the govern
ment with fund of equal amount.
Where state makes no appropriation
the government now: does nothing.
Under the old plan work was pro-
crossing very slowly as the funds
provided were limited, but the action
of the recent legislature puts a stop
even to such progress. =
A soil survey in a state is necessary
and desirable in order for the best
development Of states agriculture.
It is fundamental and furnishes the
basis on which agricultural expert
mentors may work to the best advan-
tage.
Some four or five counties in Min
nesota had already been surveyed and
it was the purpose , to make a sur
vey of Koochiching county in the
very near future, as beginning on
the survey of the entire northern belt
of counties where there are large
areas of state land. Hennepin coun-
ty was also to undergo survey.
Both these projects will now have to
be abandoned. s,.:.-'-.->- -.s~r~~-e -

Feal "'c;2g Pressure to Bear.

CRITICISMS
Grave Domestic Crisis to Result
Should Martial Law Be Applied to
All Munition Factories.
BY J. w. T. MASON.

New York, June 5.-Ten months
after the beginning OF the war the
British government is still pleading
with British workingmen to increase
the output of munitions. It is a dis
quieting fact for the Allies that ora
lions rather than organization must
be used for this purpose.
Lloyd-George's speech last night at
Manchester was his first public utter
ance since his appointment to the new
cabinet position of minister of NUM-
lions. Instead of announcing what
was going to be done by this import
ant of all the departments of the
British government, the exchancellor
of the exchequer contented himself
with repeating the old cry, "Wake up,
England" For some three months
members of the British government
have been pleading with the working
men to show patriotic regard for
the nations needs, and still the per-
iod of talking goes on.
Afraid to Act.
The conclusion is inevitable that
up to the present the British govern
ment has been afraid to bring actual
pressure to bear on the workingmen
to compel them to work in the fac
tories under conditions of wartime
discipline. The fact has been pub
lished in England, but so obscurely
as to escape general attention, that
LloydGeorge was Kissed on a recent
visit he paid to Portsmouth in COM
pany with the king because of his
criticism of the workingmen for
thinking more of drink than of their
duty to England.
Crisis Would Result.
1t is now also leaking out that la
Dor leaders who have been asked by
the government what would happen
If martial law were applied to all
munition factories, expressed the be-
lief that grave domestic crisis
would result. 1t is probable, there
fore that the British government, at
this critical time in England's his
tory, does not feel it has the power
to apply force to the workingmen and
increase the production of ammuni.
ton under the compulsion of military
management. Great Britain is fac.
ing the bitter fact that the long past
years of low standard of living has
made her workingmen Indifferent to
all questions except those which con-
Germ their own immediate welfare

Official Says Drainage Absolutely
/ Necessary to Fit Hundreds Of
Acres for Agriculture.
ANSWERS QUESTIONS OF sKEPr1c
Shows That 0ne-Third Of Vacant
Swamp Lands Have Been Placed on
, Tax Lists Spent $4,000, 600.

That the Volstead act should be
amended in order that it's advantages
might be more fully appreciated is
pointed out in letter which has just
been compiled by James L. George,
county auditor, in response to a re-
quest for information concerning
ditch projects received from Ambrose
Tighe, St. Paul lawyer, who is pre-
pairing for publication booklet of
Minnesota ditch laws.
The request points out that the
ditch laws have been criticized more
or less and that the only way these
may be counter-acted is by securing
facts
Drainage is Necessary.
In his reply, which follows, Audi
tor George explains in detail the
progress which has been made by
Beltrami county in drainage, and
states that it is absolutely necessary
in order that hundreds of acres Of
fertile land, which otherwise would
remain useless for generations, are
made suitable for agriculture: ...
"Am in receipt of your favor of
the End inst, and hasten to give you
what information lies in my power,
regarding the drainage proposition in
tho oo,,ntu IF Ro1tronoi
"As you are probably aware, the
valuation of this county is so small,
"a trifle over $S,O00,O00 for a county
containing 100 congressional town
ships, including fractions), that there
is not sufficient clerk hire allow
ance to permit detailed bookkeeping
which would give you the information
you ask for at moments notice.
II have, however, put in a couple
of evenings picking out the figures
you wish, and will try to give you in
formation that will prove that the
drainage proposition as far as this
county is concerned, will eventually,
pay for itself. 80 1865 So. So

"As you know, that part OF this
county north of Red Lake, compris-
ing nearly million and half acres,
was practically desolate swamp,
five years ago, and not worth 10 cents
an acre to anyone on earth, except
for speculation, though the gov
eminent asked $125 an acre, and
three cents an acre for a drainage
survey for which no drainage was
provided
Tax Lands Benefited.
Though the government refused
to go to- the expense of drainage for
it's own account, a law was passed,
(the Volstead Act of May 20, 19O8,)
providing that the counties might do
the work, and assess the costs to the
lands benefited, and collect the said
assessments in the same manner as
provided for other taxes, but assu1a-
ing no responsibility for the payment

Kauff. star outfielder Of tho Federal
league, jumped from the Brooklyn
team OF that organization to the New
York Nationals today and appeared in
center field for the Giants at the start
of the game with the Braves at the
Polo grounds this afternoon. The Bos-
ton team refused to play with Kauff in

Quigler declared the game forfeited
to New York by the score of to O.
Manager Stallings then produced a
telegram from John X. Tener, president
of the National league. in which the
executive declared that Kauff would
not be eligible to play with New York
until he had been officially received
into organized baseball by the ma
tional baseball commission.
The umpire then ordered the game
to proceed. McGraw sent his men on
the field and played under protest,
claiming the forfeiture and declaring
that the contest was being played III

ing or how the deal was arranged has
