OTHER INSTRUMENTATION

las to our statement regarding the
civil service, you are equally misinformed.
During the year to which you refer the
number of appointments made in the
coast and geodetic survey has been far
short of 1O4. The actual number is so, of
which Sc appointments were made with
the approval of the civil service commits
sion. The remaining u were for tempo
rary positions, chiefly of laborers, at sal
aries of less than So per day. None OF
them are under the civil service law as
1t stands now, and as it stood for years.
You say, I believe that 81 were made
in opposition to the advice of the civil
service commission The fact is that dur
ing the entire incumbency of Mr.. Jones
not a single appointment has been made
in this bureau in opposition to the ad-
vice of the civil service commission.
"Wi!l you please give to this statement
the same currency you gave to the state
ment you made at Detroit?"

"HERE are many wives in the
city who would like to
know how to retain the
love of their husbands. This
most modern problem is solved
in "a Woman's Way" five-part
World Film production at the
Strand theatre today. "A Woman's
Way" is a filmization of Thomp-
son Buchanan's comedy drama OF
the same name, and it is presented
in motion pictures with Ethel

co-stars.
"A Woman's Way" tells in
vivid manner the methods adopted
by a woman to win back her hus-

well worth duplicating by any 9TH

Nv HOLLAND

New York, August 8.-(Special) TEN or
Il years ago there was promise in the late
spring of an abundant and perhaps record
making harvest of Indian corn. The
promise was not justified by the event.
In midsummer, there came scorchins
heat some of it so great as to burn the
corn, and this was not confined to a
small area. but covered much of the corn
belts of the United States east Of the
Rocky mountains.
The managers of the railroad companies
were much put out by this climatic mis-
fortune. They were counting upon large
earnings through the movement of corn
and when the sun practically burned the
corn UP they realized that their earnings
would greatly fall Off.
Not since that time have there been sum-
mer heat and summer conditions COM
parable to those which ruined much of
the corn harvests of that year until this
year. Some of those who consider them
casters as well, suspected that it was i'm
probable that there would be three sea-
sons characterized by the weather condi-
lions which made the harvests of 1914 and
1915 bountiful Therefore it was presumed
that 1916 would furnish weather far less
favorable to good crops than was the
weather of 1914 and 1916
These forecasts are now known to have
been fairly correct. Within 10 days or
two weeks the wheat harvests of the
United States will have been garnered.
While the number of bushels will prob
ably be as great as $4,000, 0O0 possibly
81, 100000 more, whatever the amount is it
is now known that the farmers will not
harvest, as they did last year. a billion
bushel crop.
Weather conditions in some parts of
the country. especially the northwest,
have been not only unusual, but phenom-
enally bad. Never has there been such
a continued spell of hot weather as pre-
vailed from the latter part of June until
the last day of July. The farmers began
TO feel excessive heat seven days before
the end of June. After that, the heat
was not only continuous, but increased.
In many cases, the thermometer regis
tered 95 degrees and in the last two days
Of July it registered SO degrees, and the
nights were as hot as the days.
OF course, this phenomenal durati of
continued heat in little over five weeks
severely impaired some of the crops of
The northwest, and was especially unfa-
vorable to wheat. The damage to the
growing crops increased rapidly and was
particularly noticeable during the last 10
lays of the heat wave. Rust spread and
blight did much damage to the crops.

Evolution in Park-BuiIdinq.

A change is coming to park affairs,
the ideals are taking more compre
hensive form, and better suited to the
needs of the people. AS the park mis-.
sion is being better understood, parks
are no longer rarity. but are com.
mon. While esthetical requirements
are greater, yet they are being better
adapted to everyday use.
1t is necessary that what we do
shall be symbolic of some thought or
feeling, that it shall be a physical ex-
preston of some desire or purpose
We are not only learning these things
but also that the parks are more for
the people, and that the people who
rove over them are the most beautiful
feature park can contain, and that
no park, no matter how barren and IN.
slightly it may be when empty, cannot
be devoid of utility and beauty when
filed with people enjoying themselves

BILE excuse can be given for such

a beneficial use. We deplore the fact

tie or Mason Jar on Inverted Per-

Milk can be pasteuriZed at home III
bottles or in mason jars The bottle
or mason jar is set on an inverted per

of kettle or pail. This holds the milk
container away from direct contact
with the bottom of the kettle and
avoids danger of breakage. A dairy
thermometer is essential to success.
The vessel is filled with water up to

top Of the jar or other milk receptacle
and the water heated to $50 degrees.
The heat is then discontinued. Cover
the kettle with cloth 70 retain the
heat as much as possible and let it
stand for half an hour.
+ At ordinary kitchen temperatures
the water will not lose more than five
degrees heat in. half an hour. At the
end of this time cool the milk rapidly,

to be kept very long and you may feel

TIME TO GET BUSY.

In another part of The Post this
week is published the first install
ment of the report of A. L. Harris,
engineer of the State Land Depart
ment, ON the feasibility of irrigating
the surplus lands of the Colorado
River Indian reservation, from the
underground waters
This reort was filed with the state
land commissioner about June 1, and
was forwarded to Secretary Lane by
Gov. Hunt early in August. How
ward the preparation Of bill to be
introduced in congress providing for
the opening of the surplus lands.
After reading the complete report
our readers will readily see that the
analysis Of the data obtained from
the water investigations carried on
by the state fully demonstrate that
irrigation by means of utilizing the
underground waters is feasible in
every way.
The people of Parker who are in
terested in securing the opening of
these lands should get together and
devise some plan of campaign before
the department of the interior. A
bill should be prepared and introduc-
ed in both branches of congress, and
our representative and senators from
Arizona should be prevailed upon to
get busy.
The water Investigation on the res
ervatlon has cost the state large
sum Of money and now that it has
prove highly successful the people
OF Parker should show sufficient en-
terprise to bring the matter to the
attention of the proper authorities at
Washington. If We wait for the de-
partment at Washington or our con-
gressional delegation to take the in
itlatIye We will BE waiting until Ga
briel blows his proverbial trumpet.

SAVING FIRST ALFALFA CROP
Cons. .tiera:ole Difficulty Experienced in
Some Localities on Account OF
Heavy Ffains.

During recent years considerable
difficulty has been had in certain To-
calities of the Southwest i'll saving the
first crop of alfalfa. OFTEN heavy rains
come about the time the first cutting
should be made OF soon after the al
falfa is cut, thus making trouble for
the haymaker.
One solution to this difficulty prob
lem is to have a silo ready and in
case the weather is not favorable for
curing hay put the first cutting into
the SilO Even after a heavy rain al
falfa MAY be ensiled because consider
able moisture is required to pack the
siIage SO it will not mold.
Experiments were made on alfalfa
silage in California with good results.
Even alfalfa badly contaminated with
weeds was found to be worth saving
in the silO. Stock ate such alfalfa
when made into silage when the
weeds would render it almost worth.
less when cured as hay.
The alfalfa grower cannot afford to
wait when: his crop is ready to cut.
Regardless, Of the weather, he is often
forced to cut the first crop and take
chances ON the weather rather than
run the risk Of injuring the second
crop. If he has silo ready he has
reduced the risk in saving the first or
even the second crop.
