TREES FOR PALESTINE
Civilian Commission win Make
Recommendation.
Aforestation and improvement OF wa
ter Supplies Greatest OF coun-
try's Needs.

London.-Two principal recommen-
dations which the civilian comlnis'
sion now in Palestine will make FOR
the reconstruction of that country
will be a scheme for beginning azores
tation, and proposal for the conser'
walton of water supply by storage ana
by opening up old springs.
A preliminary statement from a
member of the committee says: "Ihe
greatest of all Palestine's needs IN
aforestatiOn. For centuries the land
has been denuded of its trees, with
most disastrous consequences. For
the heavy rains at certain seasons, In
stead of benefiting the soil, over more
than four-fifths of the area carry away
in rushing torrents much of the little
soil that remains on the high lands
and valley slopes.
Palestine has not always been tree
less. The Roman emperors had valu-
able forest in the country, and Absa-
lom was caught by the hair among the
trees, but today one might gallop from
Dan to Beersheba without having to
duck ones head to avoid branch.
Trees of rapid growth will be plant
ed, and for the more cultivable dis
tricts fruit-bearing trees will be util-
lied.
THE storage of water in lakes and
reservoirs is comparatively simple. BY
erecting small dams across certain
ways, a series of small reservoirs can
be constructed at little expense, ere
ating a supply that will last through
out the dry season. In southern Pales.
tine hundreds of natural springs can
be opened which under centuries OF
misrule have been allowed to choke
up and fall into disuse.
Palestine today possesses an adj
vantage it never had before in first
class railway connection with Egypt.
All the surplus crops will find ready
market in the growing Egyptian
cities"

Farmer Proposes New Method to
Increase the Yield of the
Soil.
CLAIMS MANY ADVANTAGES
Proves Successful in the Experiment
al Stage-British Government Ex-
ports Are Much Impressed
With Possibilities.

London.-Iz tnese days of cereal and
fodder shortage the farmer who sue
ceeds In growing two blades where
one grew before would be looked upon
as public benefactOr, but an English
farmer has succeeded in going one
better and writes to the Times to give
details Of the new method,
He suggests that if his plan is adopt
ed there will be more grazing this
year, more beef nel ,dwinter, more oats,
wheat aud hay in 1919, and more graz
in 1919. If the new method Is as sue
cessful over a large acreage as it has
proved to be in the experimental stage
1t may rightly be termed a discovery
in agriculture.
The new method Is as follows:
In July, by the use Of a specially
devised drill. a winter cereal and an
artificial fertilizer are simultaneously
drilled through any grass land intend
ed for haying the followih, year. BY
September or october the cereal Will
have made top growth of from eight
to ten inches. This is then grazed off
with the grass by whatever live stock
Is turned out upon it, and the grain,
nominally an annual, is thus turned
into q biennial by virtue of its yield
of valuable grazing In the autumn pre-
ceding the year Of the normal grain
harvest.
Double Crop.
The autumn grazing encourages and
strengthens the roots Of the cereal.
Owing to the protection from frost
given by the covering of turf, normal
spring growth begins earlier, more
heads are thrown up, development is
more rapid, and the grain ripens at the
same time as the hay, both being har-
vested together. The harvesting is
done by means of an ordinary moving
machine fitted with an extra knife at
the proper height above the grass to
cut the heads of the grain. The low
er knife cuts the hay as usual and the
upper knife acts as header.
A carrier behind the "header" knife
deposits the grain in separate
swath.
Many Advantages.
The advantages claimed for this
method are many, among them being
the following:
The productive capacity of the land
In doubled. Old and valuable grass
lands are not only not destroyed, but
are improved. Economy of labor
throughout; blowing and narrowing
are not needed; both crops are gath
cred together, planting and rolling are
done at the same time, and the grain
crop is gathered with ease and GER
tainty, as there is no green growth
with the grain to be stood In the sun

HOUSE APPROVES
SUNORY CIVIL BILL
MEASURE CARRIES s2,ets,ooo, 900,
INCLUDING S5o,o00,o 900 FUND
Discussed BY WILSON.
Nearly Two Billions Set Aside for Use
of Shipping Board for construc-
ton Of vessels.-Fund Devoted
to Repair of Enemy Ships.

Washington.-The sundry civil bill,
carrying S1,761 ,701, 900 for the ship
building program, S50,0O0,000 for the
presidents emergency war fund and
100000 for the committee on public
information, was passed by the house
June H. without a record vote. 1t
now goes to the senate.
The measure carries a total of So
9l5O00,000, of which more than S52,-
100000 was added by the house, in
Guiding the funds for the president
and the information committee, and
100000 for Mississippi river flood
control.
The appropriations for the president
and the information committee were
approved by the house appropriations
committee and attached as amend
ments to the BILL with both Democrats
and Republicans supporting them. Be
fore passing the measure, however, the
house amended Ii so that none of the
information committee appropriation
can be used to pay salaries of men of
draft age unless they are physically
disqualified for military service.
Most of the nearly two billions pro-
vided for the shipping board is for
construction of ships In this country
and abroad, with 1900, 900 for estab-
fishing ship yards; SG0, 000,0 900 for oper-
ating ships heretofore acquired, and
$6,2J0OOO for recruiting and instruct
ing ships officers.
Other appropriations include $1,000
600 for the food administration 49,
100000 for the fuel administration
S3,JO0,0O0 for the war trade board;
81, 800 600 for the department OF labor;
81 10000 for the war industries board;
$1,000 for the alien property custo-
diam 100000 for the council of ma
tlonal defense, and S200yo0 for the
national advisory committee for aero
nautlcs.
One of the purposes to which n con-
siderable part of the presidential fund
| has been devoted was the repair of en-
envy merchant ships damaged by their
crews before they were taken over by
the government. This work now is
completed. The president pointed out
that war agencies which at the outset
were supported by the emergency fund
now could be taken care of through
specific appropriations in the regular
| way.

to dry. Economy of fertilizers. A
saving of one-half of the seed usually
needed. The autumn grazing is of a
fresh heterogeneous character. The pas
sage of the drills through the turf i'm
proves the surface drainage. The
equal mixing of straw with the hay for
fodder. The great convenience of July
planting for the farmer.
Saves Permanent Pasture.
1t Is asserted that under this method
no permanent pasture need be broken
up, rather that the larger part of the
arabic land might be put down to per-
manent pasture. The permanent pas
lures are in hay and corn one year and
grazed the next. In the spring of the
grazing year seeds of annual legumes
can be planted through the pastures
with the same machine as IS used
to drill In the grain, not only on ac-
count of their feeding value, but also
to increase the nitrogen in the soil for
the following cereal crop.
The drilling of the seed through the
turf Is accomplished by small knife
bladed foot that can be attached to
any drill in place of the disk.
Government experts have been so
impressed with the possibilities Of the
method that priority certificates have
been granted for the manufacture OF
the fittings or the import of any parts
which may be necessary If they can
not be obtained here In time for this
seasons planting.

GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Dec. 21-Notwithstand- ing that new high price levels for the season were touched today by Decem- Der and January corn, the entire mar ket later developed weakness owing to a sharp cut in quotations on un- desirable holdings. The close was unsettled at the same as yesterdays finish to 1kc lower, with January S13S9s to $1.3S2s and May S1.35& to $1-35&s. Oats finished $s to 12c off, and provisions down 20 to soc.
 Continued rainy weather that would greatly interfere with smelling and wagon traffic formed the chief bullish influences as to corn. In addition, however. advices were at hand show ing that the surplus states this year had produced about 150,000.000 bush els less than the average. Then came word that in order to effect a clear ance of stale hogs here, commission houses has been authorized as low as S15.50. Although announcement was made that the cut was only for today and that the average of $17.50 for packers droves this month and next would still stand, the corn market promptly began to decline and re mained heavy throughout the rest of the day
 Oats gave way with corn.
 In provisions, as in grain, the effort to free the yards from left over hogs had an evident bearish effect.

NEW ERA COMES FOR
 CHLORIDE DISTRICT
Application of More Scientific Prin- eipIes for Handling of Base. Ores Meets With Immediate Success at Empire Isle leaehina Plant

CHLORIDE, Ariz., Dec. 21.-It is be- lieved a new era is opening for this To- cality, with the application of more scientific methods for handling the base ores of the district. Many min ing failures heretofore have been di- rectly due to poorly designed mills that failed to get more than a small part of the value from the ore crushed. The old Tennessee property, on which an immense fortune has been spent, is one of the cases in point. Its equip ment has been about obliterated and the new Schuylkill company has made and is preparing to equip the two properties with a modern reduction plant
 Lead-Zinc Ore
 Late developments on the 300 Ten nessee level, toward Schuylkill ground. have run into 40 per cent lead-silver ore, carrying also Is ounces of silver, This is assumed to be a continuation of a smaller, though not as rich, lens cut on the 600 level.
 In the Chloride Queen on the 220 level is being followed an IS inch streak of silver ore, with some gold and very little lead.
 Leachinq Plant Success
 Entire success appears to have at tended operations of the novel copper teaching plant of the Emerald Isle company. with returns of 4 per cent from the surface ores. An incline shaft is being driven down into proven mineral ground.
 The 400 foot main shaft of the Walkover property is to be unwatered by w L. Mckay, who will sample the property and who then may enter upon extensive development work.

REINIeER-FREEMAN MINE
 SHOWS MUCH IMPROVEMENT

TUCSON, Ariz, Dec. 21.-Antici- pating early entry to ore bodies and in preparation for rapid sinking of the main shaft to the 600-level the Reiniger-Freeman mine in Pima is making ready to receive considerable new equipment The work from the 330-level in the shaft has gone through the main fault on the north. The softness of this fault, together with the presence of much naturalization on the north side, lends every encour- agement to the positive conviction entertained that drifting now under way will soon reach an ore body on the lime contact. The cross-cut northwest from the 330-level, started before the main fault was reached, is in exceedingly promising country and should be in ore on the contact west of the main fault within a short time. The rock is at present alive with iron and garnet, accompanied by lead.

WEEKLY FINANCIAL REVIEW.

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Confusion and further unsettlement were the chief concomitants of the week in the securities market, traders and the public alike paying little heed to sucb augrIries as a wheat crop of extra ordinary promise and the more hope ful views of leaders of finance and industry.
 The one concrete feature was the Notation and ready sale of a round amount of Pennsylvania railroad bonds at terms regarded as advantageous both to the vendors and purchasers The transaction derived its special significance, however, from the fact that it marked the first important project of it's kind since the signing of the armistice.
 Substantial reactions from recent nigh quotations among the steel, cop per and kindred shares doubtless were prompted by a growing conviction that those products are almost approach ing levels attractive to consumers.
 Fully 75 per cent of the weeks liquidation of bonds eentered in Lib erty issues, the fourth 4l4s showing most impairment, while the first As dropped to the years lowest price.
