Makes Offer of $4,000 for
Northwestern Corner
of Property.
TO ACCEPT TO-DAY
Meeting Of Board of
Education to Consider
Proposal.

THAT the Cosden refinery will
L erct a ten-story office building
at the corner of Fourth and Boston
was indicated last night when Dan
J. Davisson. representing J. S. Cosden,
submitted to the board OF education
bid of $4,000 for the northwestern
corner of the block on which the pres
ent high school is situated.
1t was the only bid received and
there was every indication last night
that 1t would be acted upon favorably
at special meeting of the board to
be held this afternoon at o'clock.
In the meantime the finance commit
tee of the board will confer with the
prospective buyer regarding details Of
the transaction.
Mr. COsden Is in New York at pres
ent. but his agent Mr.. Davisson, stated
that it is the intention of his client
to put up large and modern office
building on the site as soon as the
title can he cleared and the deal con-
summated.
Needs Office Space.
"Mr. Cosden Is paying rent on a
large amount of office space at pres
ent and he will have to secure more
room SOOn dS HIS is luCTtdS-
ing at a rapid rate" said Mr.. Dawson.
Wherefore he has decided to build his
own office building
He pointed out that the erection OF
such building would greatly en-
hance the value of the rest of the
high school block. The board has
never called for bids on the remain
ing portion, but probably will attempt
to lease it at "A later date. A bid of
$4,000 on the northwestern corner
was received from X. NJ. McFarlin
some time ago, but the deal fell
through on account of an adverse
ruling by the prospective purchaser s
attorneys as to the title.
Both Mr.. Cosden and Mr. Davisson
feel that they can secure a good title
to the property. The attorneys OF
the school board are of the same
opinion.
Frontage on Boston.
The property has IA frontage of one
hundred feet on Boston avenue and
l4O feet on Fourth street and the
building that Mr.. Cosden proposes to
erect probably will be of the same
dimensions as the Calais building
now nearing completion on the north
eastern corner of the intersection of
Fourth and Boston.
Stebbins. Eyesenbach Il Giddings
informed the board last night by let
ter that they had intended bidding
on one-half of the corner and were
ready to make a proposition for leas-
ing the rest of the block at any time
the board cares to consider 1t.

voRE GRAZING FROM PASTURES

whpe we are giving careful .,ancbt and diligent attention to our ,o ,sn,s endeavoring to build up the
 .n of q minimum of expense for a n.vimum s yield let us not forget our "asture lands. Heretofore We have rvop little attention to pastures, but s..ber have left them to nature. Often the pasture has been over srozed with the result that it has f,;led at a very critical time.
 The time has come in the South rost when we must get more from my nastures and from ranges where .bsse exist. To do this we must make careful study of the grasses and other forage with view to conserv- ;nc or increasing the grazing capacity of the land.
 Some progress has already been made recently. The United States forest service of the department of agriculture reports a test in Oregon. A system known as deferred graz ingn was planned and practiced. It was found that one-fourth of the grazing season had remained after the important forage plants had ma tured seed. Accordingly, an area equal to one-fourth was protected against grazing till the plants ma- tured seed When the plants matured seed the next year the area was heav- fly grazed with sheep. The animals tramped the seeds into the soil. This plan was continued for three years, when it was found that land graZed after seed was matured produced five and one-half times as much grazing as land grazed in the ordinary way. Experiments in New Mexico and in Wyoming on deferred grazing" gave excellent results.
 To make use of these suggestions we must study the plants, learn when they mature seed, when they afford the most vegetation and how to con- serve production. Land values have increased considerably during the last decade; in fact, lands in Texas trebled between 1900 and 1910. To get full benefits of pastures we must get more grazing, more beef, mutton, pork, milk, butterfat, etc, from an acre of pasture land-Farm and Ranch.

STILL TIME FOR BERMUDA.

Feed for the stock twelve months n the year, Bermuda pasture for summer and Bermuda hay for winter, can be had on any farm. Why grow more cotton to buy hay when Ber- mada grows SC readily everywhere Bermuda is the cheapest feed that can be grown. Bermuda is adapted to nearly all soils. It is hardy and very drought resistant. But above all Bermuda grass is the richest in ieedng value of any grass grown in 'ne South. Its portein content is mgner than that of any grass known. fasture the Bermuda already on the pace and get some more started for nay Start it during April or May.

Texarkana, April 26.-According to Burt Johnson, known as "the Peach King of Arkansas" if the up- land farming country around Texar- kama were put to use 1000 acres of strawberries could be raised.
 Mir. Johnson says there always is a ready market for this class of fruit, as under the climatic and soil condi- tions abounding around Texarkana the growers here could have the advant- age of the first markets.
 MT. Johnson also said that Arkan- sas berries are unequaled in quality anywhere in the berry-raising sec- tions of the country.

MAKING AN ARTISAN WELL
 PUMP ITSELF.

The field men of the United States Geological Survey, in their investiga- tions of the ground-water resources of the Virginia Coastal Plain, have observed that the flows from many artesian wells in that region are util- ized to drive hydraulic rams for the purpose of lifting the water to higher levels. Along the lower courses of the Potomac and Rappahannock and along the shores of the many inlets that run back from Chesapeake Bay above James there are hundreds of artesian wells that supply perennial flow of beautifully clear water which is, as rule, excellently adapted to all domestic uses and is largely util- ized by the canning factories and other industrial establishments that abound in that part of the country. Though the pressure of the water from the wells is ample at the shore level, the head diminishes so quickly with increase in elevation that no flow can be obtained along the higher banks above the shores where the water is most needed. One method of obtaining it at these higher levels is to use the force developed by the artesian flow to operate hydraulic rams, which in turn raise the water to the heights desired along the bluffs above the river and inlets. Thus it may be said that the artesian wells pump themselves.

HOUSE DEMOCRATS UNABLE TO AGREE ON
 PHILIPPINE FREEDOM

Washington, April 26. - House democrats in caucus tonight were un- able to agree on the Philippine bill. After several hours of speech making the caucus adjourned until tomorrow night on the suggestion of Speaker Clark. Such vigorous opposition to the bill developed in the caucus that even some of it's supporters admitted that it's fate is doubtful
 Tn a letter from President Wilson, handed to Representative Jones, read to the caucus, the president said briefly that to clear up any doubt as to whether he favored the bill as it passed the senate he wished to state that he unqualifedly endorsed it and hoped it would pass without and without a dissenting vote.
 Representative Jones made long speech and presented a resolution to bind the house democrats to vote for the senate bill without amendment.
 Representative Conroy of New York submitted as a substitute a resolution declaring "that no action be taken on this or any other bill af- fecting the Philippine Islands looking to the establishment of the independ- ence of the same and withdrawal of the authority of the United States
