BENEFITS OF DRAINED SOILS
Deeper Feeding Ground Offered for
PIants--Increase In Crop Yield
May Be Expected.

A drained soil offers n deeper feed
ing ground for the plants. The roots
Of most cultivated crops win not go
into saturated soil and win die II kept
under water without air for more than
a short time. The root zone is then,
not the depth above the point Of per-
manent saturation, but only that soil
into which the 1uctuatlng water-table
does not rise except for periods too
short to lnjure the plants seriously.
Drainage tends to increase this depth
to that Of the drains, thus making a
greater quantity Of food available.
Hence, an increase in crop yield may
ordinarily be expected from the drain
age Of such land already under culti-
walton.

Washington. Feb. 29.-The woes of
the picture BRIDE were revealed
here today in connection with the
perennial immigration bill fight with
its threat of international complica-

Chairman Burnett, of the immigra-
ton committee. said that the pro-
posed legislation would eliminate
among other things the japanese
picture bride" practice which he
says is a growing OWL.
The picture bride is woman
who pretends to marry by proxy IN
Japan and then comes to the United
States or its territories to meet her
husband whom frequently she has
never seen.
These couples seldom marry ae-
cording to the chairman but usually
part soon after the woman Is safely
landed. never to meet again status

the bill ever reaches him. supporters
of the Asiatic exclusion bills are max
ing a determined effort 10 have one
of them reported, despite the purpose
of the state department to prevent
consideration of any such legislation
this season.
Mr.. Burnett said today he expected
one of these measures would be re-
ported next week lie hopes that
either his bill or that Of Representa-.
tive Raker. of California, can be
amended so as to cause the state de-
partment to withdraw opposition.
AS It probably will be reported. the
Asiatic exclusion measure would be

the state department objects, but
would require both Chinese and Jap
