the higher charge was made, pending
a further hearing if such was consid-

Mr.. Beacham was instructed from
Washington to permit no increase in
the price of bread, and he at once no.
tilted all the bakers in Florida that
thew would have to conform to estab'

raise their prices except he be salts

GETTING NEW FACTS ABOUT
WATER EVAPORATION.

The United States Government Is
not satisfied with what is known
about the evaporation OF water from
the soil. particularly In connection
with irrigation, says w. T. Stanley
in the July Popular Mechanics Mag
azine. In not few cases the amount
OF water losses through this cause
has a bearing on the success OF an
irrigation project. and as various
kinds OF soil are differently affect
ed. IL is essential for government
engineers TO know Just where they
stand on this subject. As IL Is more
or less an undeveloped science. they
have found II necessary TO make
their own experiments.
This Is being done at certain field
laboratories established by the office
Of Public Roads and Rural Engineer
ing IN the Department OF Agriculture.
One or these district branches Is To-
Gated at Denver, where field labor
atory possessing unusual advantag-
rs IL maintained.
During the season when the wea-
ther permits Il. the Denver field
laboratory conducts four different
kinds OF experiments. The govern
ment experts are. for instance. max
ing an investigation into the evap-
Grafton OF water surfaces. such as a
tank or lake. they are studying the
evaporation that takes place from
sand surfaces and from the labora-
tory soil; they are experimenting
with the flow of water in small fur
rows.
The wide possibilities of the ex-
perimental work at the irrigation
field laboratories. OF which that at
Denver is an excellent example. can |
be seen from the figures OF the Rec
lamation Service. which shows that |
up to the first of 1915, the govern
ment had 2.551.247 acres under this
and had expended up
to that time sss,oO1, ,2O5.
