WILL MEASURE
WATER IN THE
SNOW FIELDS

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Dec. 6.-The
water content of "A number OF snow
fields in the Sierra Nevada mountains
will be measured this winter under
the supervision of the California stat"
engineering department. To do this
the state has obtained virtually all OF
the scientific apparatus availabl" in
the United States for such obscrva-
tons 1t is the first time such work
has been attempted in the public in
terest. according to Major p. NJ. Nor
Doe, assistant state engineer.
Some of the information gained it is
expected. will be of value to the fed
eral government when it prepares to
lay out trunscontin"ntal aerial route.
The object of the work is two-fold.
The information will be used to warn
the people in the valleys OF California
and Nevada OF the possibility of floods
in the spring when the snow begins
to melt and to determine whether or
not there is danger of drought in TIE
summer season, and that irrigators
may be warned of the need of con
serving water
The information will also be avail
able to guide managers of reservoirs
in choosing times to use them to shut
off the peaks OF freshets. or when to
store water to guard against drought
After each heavy storm in the noun
tains this winter the engineer depart
mcnt's men will go forth, armed with
samplers" and other scientific appar
atus and equipped as for Arctic eN
petitions. They will travel on snow
shoes and will carry their own pro
visions and sleeping bags. To make
/ the measurements needed. each work
| er will take sections from the snow
| fields at numerous points with his
sampler. With this instrument II Is
possible to obtain portions of snow
from each layer of the winters fall
, The samples will be weighed to as
certain the water content.

servers. with other data, will enable

METHODIST PREACHERS
TO TRAIN THE FARMERS

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-To help make
farming profitable and rural life endur-
able for the farmer, his wife, his sons
and daughters. the Methodist EpisCO-
pal church has undertaken to spend
$5.5OO.00O in training rural ministers
to teach scientific farming and develop
social activity in country districts. TIL"
purpose as announced by the Board Of
Home Missions and Church Extension
is to keep the farmers on the farms
and thus help win the war
Dissatisfaction with country life, it
is declared. has caused a decrease of
rural population in Ohio. Indiana. Mis-
souri,. Iowa. Vermont and New Hamp-
shire The boys and girls will not
stay on tn" farm when high wages are
to be earned nearer the moving pie
turc theatres
To combat this the Methodist
church i, planning to sc0d many OF
its best men to the country churches.
Of which it has upward of 1000.
| Rural pastors are to have special train
| ing in agriculture so as to help farm
! crs With advice Demonstration farms
are to be established where agricul-
tural colleges do not meet the needs
Associations of rural ministers to
put these plans into effect already
have been started in Ohio, West Vir
ginia, Iowa, South Dakota, Pennsyl
vania and Nebraska. Chairs of Rural
Sociology to teach how to be happy
though living on farm have been
established in theological seminaries
and plans are in the making to start
similar courses in colleges.

there are lot of bullet-headed fel-
lows running for nomination who
hre trying to pull themselves into
office by slandering and misrepre-
sent ng the patriotism of others. 1t
seems to run thru the whole muck
raking crowd, from candidates for
constable up.
Of course, it is none my business
to participate in the local politics
Of Colorado or any other state, ex-
cept Missouri, but l would be churl
if l were not willing to answer a let
ter of inquiry such as yours, espec-
tally when it comes from an old Mis-
souri, friend.
l regard Keating very highly. l
don't always agree with him, but he
has as much ght to his opinions as
have to mine. We generally
agree.
Your friend,
