TREAT new STATES
SAME AS THE OLD

&C. G. Chapman, Secretary Western
States Water Power Conference.)
"An impasse," says Secretary Lane,
results from conflict between State
ownership OF the water and govern
ment ownership of the land unless
both state and government abandon
their respective rights and consider
what is wise This is about the
kind of compromise a married man
has with his wife-she has her own
way.
He announces that the government
will not permit the Western States
to acquire any more public lands
than have been given to them for
schools, colleges and reclamation, as
serting that all the states have been
treated alike in that respect
So far as we have heard, none of
the Western States have expected the
government to give them any more
of the public domain. What they OBJ
iect to is having over half their area
permantly withheld by the govern
ment by new regulations to which
the older states were not subjected
Except the eleven far Western
States, all the sovereign common
wealths of the Union have been de-
veloped under public land policy
which for more than hundred years
permitted resources to be developed
by private capital and enterprise and
became subject to state taxation and
state control.
Secretary Lanes premise that the
eleven western states have had an
equal chance with the older states is
based on the arbitrary technlcality
that land grants have been made to
all the states on the same basis.
This is misleading, as the real facts
are that after the older states have
had taxation and control of their en-
| tire area, new rules have been adopt
ed, the theory and effect of which is
| to withhold the larger part or the
area of the new states from the same
kind of development, taxation and
state control that has built up the
old states.
The conservation question will moi
be settled until such time as oppor.
tunity to develop the resources Of
the new states is made equal with the
opportunities that have been en-
joyed within the older states.
1t is to be regretted that Secretary
Lane, western man, has become sc
inoculated with PinchOtism that al
he can see in fundamental states
rights Is loophole for corporate
thievery.

a macerater in which Cancelled bills are destroyed
The macerater is a great big potlike receptacle
made of steel In its interior are knives set close
ly together They revolve through water, which
vets the bills, and grind them into fine pulp
About a million dollars day is thus destroyed
but, OF course it must be understood that another
million takes Its place.
The bureau of engraving and printing to which
we will return from the treasury department. is a
new structure. 1t has been occupied only since
the spring of 1914 The officials made every effort
to erect building on lines which would improve
the welfare of the employees and increase their
efficiency standards. The hygienic conditions are
of the best. Uncle Sam has found that where the
conditions are right employees give in return their
best physical efforts and. therefore, the money
which is spent to make proper their surroundings
is money well spent Director Ralph says plainly
that the employees in the old building were com
PEELED to work under hygienic conditions that
were criminal and such as should not have been
permitted by the government" Further he says:
Had private corporation operated and main
tanned its plant under like conditions the attention
OF the authorities no doubt would have been called
to 1t with view to having these conditions
changed, perhaps to the extent of closing up the
factory"
In the building the government has provided for
cooperative lunchrooms. II has furnished the
necessary fixtures, kitchen utensils, heat light
and fuel, while the employees have organized
themselves into cooperative society, assessing
each member a nominal sum as membership fee
to create fund necessary to commence business
The society has its officers and appoints board
to superreend the conduct of the business, pur
chase the necessary food and cook It, and serve II
to the employees at cost.
There is a special emergency hospital in the
bureau of engraving and printing, with separate
wards for men and women. 1t is finely equipped
and an experienced physician is on duty at all
times. so that injured or sick employees may re
ceive immediate attention. or course this treat
ment is in the nature nf first aid the afflicted bnes
being sent quickly as possible either to their
homes or to the city hospitals.
Uncle Sam makes a lot Of money. He doesn't
pay high salares to either the men or the women
who help him make it. The salary figures ara
what might be called comfortable. perhaps and
nothing more. So it Is that some hundreds of
people daily In Washington handle more money
than millionaire sees in year, and yet they are
not allowed to use any of II for themselves. Fa
miliarity however. breeds contempt, and 1t Is said
that the governments employees who finger for
tunes every day never have any itching desire to
close their hands upon wealth and attempt to
make way with II.

DEEP OR SHALLOW P.oWINe7
Great Deal Depends Upon Judgment Of
Farmer and Local Conditions
Two Good Rules.

The agricultural extension service OF
the University OF Arizona frequently
receives inquiries from farmers asking
whether deep or shallow blowing IL
the right thing As to whether to plow
ieep or shallow depends entirely upon
oeal conditions. There are two gen.
erai rules that may be laid down. l..
IN dry farming sections of the state
tall and winter plowing should be deep
and spring plowing shallow. Deep
spring piowing in the dry-farming dis.
triets opens the soil so that much valu.
able moisture is lost. 2. In heavy or
tight soils preparatory plowing should
generally be deep In order that the
soil may be opened up for the penetra-
Ion OF moisture.
Light or loose soils should usually
De plowed shallow or In some cases
only disked. A great deal depends
upon the judgment of the farmer as
to whether he should plow deep or
swallow. 1t is usually better to plow
before trrigating than after. although
sometimes 1t Is necessary to give q
!lgnt irrigation TO soften the soil suffi.
eiently so that 1t can be plowed. Gen.
orally insufficient team power is used
on the heavier types OF soil in Ari.
zona. and thia should be remedied. In
some tight heavy soils or in tough sod
land 1t is frequently desirable to disk
before plowing. one of the best imple.
meuts for this purpose is a double.ac.
tion cutaway harrow.

SPRING WHEAT ON DRY LAND
Preferred In Some Sections to Winter
Variety on Account of Peculiar
Local Conditions.

tBy JAMES D. MARSHALL. Colorado
Agricultural College. Fort Collins. Colo)
in many sections of the dry lands,
spring wheat is preferred to winter
wheat because of the peculiar local
conditions.
However, the majority OF spring
varieties grown do not bring as high
a price on the market as the harder
grained Turkey Red. which is the
popular winter variety. The excep-
tions to this are the Red Russian and
the Marquis. one semihard and the
other hard wheat which compare
very favorably In yield and quality
with the hard winter wheats, and they
should replace to large extent the
white spring wheat which is so large
ly grown at the present time. 8
Get some seed OF either or both OF
the above varieties and II given a fair
trial. they will make themselves
popular and in time will gradually
replace the soft spring wheats.
