DRAINING LANDS
IN VALLEY URGED
BY COUNTY AGENT
]. D TinsIey Says There Is
Urgent Need of a Plan to
Get Rid of Waterlogged
Conditions Now Existing


That proper drainage Oh the mo
Grande valley is one of the most I'M
portant problems facing the land
owners therein was the statement
made yesterday by j. d. Tlnsley, coun-
ty agent. in an interview WIN Jour
nal representative "A large percent-
age OF the valley land Wnlch is SUD

which it is capable until TINS condltion
lis removed. ] understand considerable
work has already been done toward
getting the people interested IN inns
important matter to the end That some
concerted program may be arrived at
for getting the land drained. AT pres
ent the question seems to hinge upon
whether the work is to be done by the
reclamation service of the government
or by organizing drainage dlstflcts'
While work is being delayed penang
the settlement of this matter, large
areas in the valley are producmg

Is Studying Conditions.
Mr.. Tinsl& who succeeded j. q,
Hamilton as county agent when the
latter went to an officers framing
camp, has been ON the job only since
October 10, but he appears to nave
made good use of his time Several
days necessarily had TO be devoted to
familiarizing himself with what had
and local conditions also had to ne
studied. But he has been able TO VISIT
about thirty farms in different parts
of the county and is rapidly becoming
acquainted with conditions here.
Mr.. Tinsley intends trying out var
ious methods of handling these wet
lands. 1t has been demonstrated that
fall blowing for spring planting, with
out replowing, has not proved sat's-
factory, as this gives the alkai suffi-
Gent time to accumulate at or near
the surface. AS one remedy for pro-
vidins relief from this condition, deep
spring blowing and reasonably deep
planting will be tested.
Attempts have been made from
year to year. said Mr.. Tinsley, to
grow wheat and corn, and especially
the latter, on these wet lands. These
attempts frequently have resulted IN
failures. Sweet clover was introduced
NV my predecessors and is giving sat
isfactory results. 1t mas also been
demonstrated that sweet sorghums are
a desirable crop. BARLEY, which eN-
perience elsewhere has shown to be
adapted to such soil conditions. mas
been tried in a very limited way
with indications of satisfactory re-
suits. But the farmers here know "

WASHINGTON. Oct si.--If Uncle
Sam were so minded. he could throw
all the allied world into bankruptcy.
The reason is not that he has loaned
them sums of money approximating
in their staggering total what Great
Britain loaned the allies before we
got into the game, but the form
which the obligations take.
IL Is generally supposed that when
this government extends financial
credits to our allies. some paper is
given which contains not only a def
mite promise to pay. but also names
n specific date upon which payment
will be made This is untrue.
Each OF the allies promises TO pay
Uncle Sam UPON DEMAND. Never
before in the history of the world
was such n stupendous sum promised
back TO the lender upon demand. The
sum is now s6.6s2 040 900, divided as
follows: Great Britain. s3.345 600, +.
900: France. s2.o65, 100000: Italy.
