NAY BUY LEGATION IN CUBA.
ITEM IN DIPLOMATIC BILL FOR
PURCHASE.
Secretary OF State FavOrs Plan Sug.
gested by Capt. Gonzales, United
States Minister.

Washington, June 8.-If the senate
concurs in the action of the house just
taken in passing an appropriation In
the diplomatic bill for the purchase of
the legation for the United States
minister to Cuba, at Habana, Capt
William E. Gonzales, who holds that
position and who is now in Washing
ton, will see the elimination of an
idea which he has had since he went
there to represent this government.
The present legation at Habana is
the combined residence and business
office Of the minister from the United
States and in the item which has just
been agreed upon, 100000 will be
used in the purchase of the property
and in it's refitting.
1t is stated that about $4,000 will
be expended for the purchase of the
land and the building now upon it.
Capt Gonzales some time ago having
secured an option upon 1t to this ef-
feet. The remainder Of the appro-
priation, about $40. 900. will be used in
fitting up the new acquisition in keep
ing with the position of it's occupants.
Mr.. Lansing. secretary of State, in
dorsed the proposition Of purchasing
the legation very strongly. and Capt.
Gonzales gave 1t as his opinion some
time ago, that in all probability be-
cause Of the increase in land values in
Habana the same property could not
be had for the same amount of money
at later time.
f. Capt. Gonzales, who has been in
Washington for several days on OFF,
cial business. was much pleased to-
day when assured that the house had
Iagreed to the item for the purchase
Of the legation.
There seems to be no doubt that
the senate will follow the action OF
the house and that in short time the
United States will have its home for
its minister In Habana.

In the s,,- Of the year, when land

age, but is this valid reason for con. Il
demning drainage? To answer this.
question correctly, other questions
must first be answered. Were tho
drainage improvements in the firs.
place properly designed and construct
ed? If the answer to this qusstionpis
affirmative. may not some defective ]
condition have developed in the sys-,
tenn since, construction? Haye the /

- |l ~ m ~ : :
Have the inlets and catch bdkil ~ !
permitted to become choked with
leaves and other dry vegetable matter
of the previous season? II these con-
ditions exist, does not the failure OF
the system to give the desired results
lie with the farmer rather than the
system?
In the spring, when the root sykttlh
Of the young plant Is developing, It ID
essential that the level of the ground
water be maintained at such a depth
as always to permit free growth Of
the roots downward as well as lateral
ly. The control of the water level is
the purpose of any drainage improve
ment. The largest returns on money
invested in such improvements can be
obtained only when they accomplish
their real purpose, and this purpose
can be accomplished only by keeping
the drains in the best possible state
of efficiency.
To obtain the greatest degree Of
efficiency in drainage improvements,
as in any other work, frequent inspec-
ton is necessary. Brush and weeds
should be cut from the banks of the
open bitches and the latter cleaned
out to the proper depth. Openings
should be made into the bitches
where necessary to permit the sur
face water in the fields to flow OF
rapidly.
In tile systems, If the outlet has
not been protected by headwall, one
should be constructed. for unprotected
outlets are often damaged by stock
and the action Of surface water. II
tile drain empties into an open ditch
or swale, steps should be taken to
see that sufficient fall exists in the
ditch to remove the water as fast as
it is discharged from the tile; other
wise the water will back up into the
tile and the efficiency Of the drain will
be impaired. Where surface inlets
and sand traps have been installed in
tile system these should be examin-
ed, and cleaned If necessary.
To realize the maximum results
from any drainage system 1t is there
fore essential that inspection be fire.
quent and that necessary repairs be
made promptly.
