FARMER HAS RAIN"
WHEN HE NEEDS IT
ALSO GETS 1T WHERE HIS CROP
NEEDS 1T. NEVER KNOWS
SUCH THING AS DROUTH.

lNDIANAPOLIS.-Isaac Wagner,
owner of Pleasant Valley farm, sit
uated on the Mississinewa river,
norti of Marion, has modern plant
for overhead irrigation.
The distribution pipes are placed
twelve feet over the ground and fif-
ty-two feet apart. By being placed
overhead the pipes do not interfere
with cultivation. Holes are drilled
about fourteen inches apart in each
pipe, which is connected with the
main supply pipes from which the
water is taken.
The water, which is from the river,
is forced in the main pipe by force
pump at from forty to seventy pounds
pressure, the power being electric
and furnished by the Indiana Service
company. The pressure forces the
water into a fine spray, SO that no
injury is done to the plants or land.
By this system the water is distrib-
uted naturally, like genuine rain, and
it is ready whenever needed. Mr..
Wagner declares that the hotter the
weather the better it is for his bust
ness, as his plants flourish when those
on unirrigated land wither.
This method of irrigation also has
great value in protecting from
frost. Frost never Injuries vegetation
on cloudy nights. Knowing this prin-
ciple, Mr.. Wagner turns on the wa
ter when he realizes there is danger
from frost and the mist protects the
vegetables like a blanket. 1t proves
a wet blanket to the frost, indeed,
for the owner of the system says
that this will counteract from five
to ten degrees of cold and thorough
ly protect vegetation that would be
entirely destroyed in the open.
To be sure, Mr.. Wagner was
caught mapping one frosty night last
year and did not turn on the water
By the oversight he lost $4,000.
Mr.. Wagner has twenty-five acres
under irrigation, and his gross re
celptS last year were SlU,OOO. His
Strawberries produced $500 to the
acre, and five acres of melons brought
$1,000. In one season the gross re
ceipts from twelve acres Of irrigat-
ed land was $1,000, while the same
number of acres not irrigated showed
only $4,000.
Mr.. Wagner says the same acre
age could be made to yield a much
larger gross income if it were plant
ed in expensive garden fruits and
vegetables. Several acres of his land
are planted in corn. His success on
this small area Of lands shows in a
practical way the possibilities of in
tensive farming in Indiana, and the
value of the overhead irrigation sys-
tenn where it is practicable.

June, took Shipka pass in July and
were defeated before Plevna in July
and September. They defeated the
Turks at Aladja Dagh in Armenia in
October and took Kars by storm In
November. Plevna fell in December
and the Russian army passed through
the Balkans, and advanced to the out.
skirts Of Constantinople. On March
3, 1878, a treaty was signed at San
Stefano, a little port on the sea OF
Marmora between Russia and Turkey.
Gar Was Frightened.
All the Balkan peoples. except the
Bulgarians, broke out into a tempest
of protest upon the news of this treaty.
Austria, who saw her dream of reach
ing the Aegean gone glimmering and
even her control of Bosnia and Herze-
govina shared by Russia, voted Co.
100000 gulden for war purposes and
prepared to seize upon Bosnia. Eng
land called out the reserves, and Dis
raeli startled Europe by bringing In
dian troops to Malta. The British
fleet steamed into the sea of Mar
mora and lay near Constantinople.
The concert of Europe" demanded
that the treaty be submitted to con-
gress of the powers. The coalition
Of Europe against him scared the car
and he consented. The congress OF
Berlin, therefore, met June Ii, 1878.
Before attending the congress Disraeli
made a secret pact with the sultan by
which England acquired complete con-
troll of Cyprus. The congress lasted
until July IS. Bismarck presided and
Disraeli, Gorchakov the Russian, and
Andrassy the Austrian were the prin-
cipa1 figures. Gorchakov and Dis
raeli fought each other tooth and nail.
Once the Russian created sensation
by gathering up his papers and start
ing to leave the council room. At an
other time Disraeli startled the dele
gates by ordering special train to
take him to Calais. When the Cyprus
convention came to light the diplomats
felt that Disraeli had tricked them
That night he attended reception
AS he entered silence fell upon the
angry buzzing Of the assembled states
men, Disraeli understood.
"Of what are you thinking?' asked
the Princess Radziwill."
II am thinking of nothing" he re-
piled; II am enjoying myself"
The treaty as finally signed by the
congress provided that Bulgaria should
not extend south of the Balkans and
the military occupation Of Russia was
reduced to nine months.

TREATY OF ADRIANOPLE, 1929.
independence Greece Recognized by Turkey and Russia

the Turco-Egyptian fleet. Strangely
enough, neither France, Russia nor
England had yet declared war against
Turkey, which still claimed Greece as
a Turkish province, in spite of the con-
vention of London. The sultan, natur-
ally enough, engaged at the battle of
NavarinO, declared all treaties at an
end, and the ambassadors Of the three
powers left Constantinople. Russia
declared war against Turkey In April
of 1928. A French army occupied the
Morea, but otherwise England and
France remained idle spectators Of the
war which ensued.
Russian Armies Successful.
The Russian army crossed the Pruth
In May, but winter came and they
were still unable to pierce the Balkans.
The next summer, however. the Rus
SLAMS passed over the mountains and
appeared before Adrianople, which at
once surrendered. A Russian army
fighting in Asia had also been success
full. Russia had entered European
Turkey with 100000 men, but only 40
900 Of them reached Adrianople, and
those so worn with battle and disease
that they could neither advance nor
retreat, while between Adrlanople and
Constantinople the sultan had 10000
fresh troops. Nevertheless, the czar
had boosted that he had 100000 men
to loan his friends and a million and
a half to fight his enemies, and rumor
exaggerated the force of Russians be-
fore Adrianople to 10000 Turkey was
practically 'blutfed" into signing q
treaty, which she did at Adrianople on
September IA, 1929, recognizing the In.
dependence of Greece and granting to
Russia freedom of navigation of the
Black sea, the Danube and the OAR
danelles, and confirming and extending
the protectorate of the car over the
Danubian municipalities. The Turkish
and Egyptian troops in Greece with

fact.

FAMOUS
PEACE TREATIES
By III. IRVING KING
CONGRESS OF BERLIN, 1873.

BY III. IRVING KING

Some one somewhere remarked that
the eastern question would perplex
mankind until the day of judgment.
Those fragments Of nations which
strew the Balkan peninsula are so d.
vided In race, language and traditions
that they dwell side by side in a
state Of constant discOrd and belliger-
ency, no one race being able to as
simulate the others-a melting pot in
which nothing melts, but which is In
constant state Of ebullition.
In 1875 the idea Of -Slavism had
become strong sentiment in Russia.
Pan-Slavism In Russia was answered
by revival of pan-Islamism In Tur-
key. Russian agents were everywhere
In the peninsula stirring up the Chris
tan populations and the Mussulman
reaction and the increased tyranny of
the porte still further excited the peO-
pies already stirred by pan-slavist
dreams.
Uprisings began; Serbia declared
war on Turkey; Montenegro and Alba
MIA flew at each others throats; the
pow Cl luIcINtuou anu lHeTe were COLI
ferences. protocols and armistices.
while the Turks put down the upris-
ings and defeated the Serbians and
Montenegrins with great slaughter.
The uprising in Bulgaria was put down
by the Turks with such cruelty that
the Bulgarian massacres" stirred all
Europe. Turkey remained deaf to the
proposals of the concert Of Europe"
Declared War Against Turkey
The patience of the car was ex-
hausted. On April "a. 1877, he gave
orders for his armies to cross the
Turkish frontier and declared war
against Turkey. He had previously
concluded an alliance with Roumania
by which the Russian armies had the
tight of passage through that country
and the Roumanian army was to COOP
krate with the army of Russia Eng
land had acquiesced In the Russian
move, provided the czar did not occupy
Constantinople or the DardanelleS,
let Egypt alone and recognized the
neutrality of the Suez canal. Austria
had been appeased by secret pact
with regard to Bosnia and Herzegovina
and by the vision dangled before
her of an outlet on the east to
the Aegean sea at Salonikl. The os-
tenSible object of the war was to
force the porte to put into operation
under European superintendent his
promised reforms and to secure the
autonomy of the subject states.

The modern kingdom of Greece
came into being by treaty signed at
Adrianopie in 1929 between Russia
and Turkey, by which the Grecian cap
tivity of $50 years was ended. Most
of this time Greece was subject to
Turkey-but not always. During the
latter Middle Ages the Venetians and
other foreign rulers temporarily estab-
lshed their power there. In 1715 the
Turks drove out the Venetians, who
had established themselves on the Gre
clan peninsula % years before, and
ruled undisturbed until the beginning
Of the Greek instruction in 1921. The
city Of Athens rose end compelled
the Turks to take refuge in the Acrop-
oils; constitution was proclaimed on
the first day of the next year; All
Pasha, the Turkish general, was de-
feated and killed by the revolutionists
the Turks took the revolted Island OF
Solo with horrible cruelties; the
Greeks captured Napoli di Romania.
A large part of Greece fell into the
hands Of the revolutionistS.
The war continued with the Greeks
generally successful, until 1925. The
Imagination of Europe had been stirred
BY the idea of a revival of nation
that was the ancient home of arts and
letters, and Byron had lent his money
and his name to the Grecian cause, to
Vie at Missolonghi, in the Greek serv-
ice. Russia was ready to Interfere,
out the governments Of the western ma
iions had no idea of making war for
sentimental reasons.
Western Powers Take Notice.
Early in 1925 Mehemit Ali, the great
viceroy of Egypt, who had an eye on
the throne of Constantinople, put IT,
900 men into the Morea under his
adopted son Ibrahim, who captured
Eavarino and the Island of Sphagia,
which lies before 1t. Early the next
year Ibrahim was joined by Turkish
army under Reshid Pasha and
MissOlonghi was taken after six
months siege. All that part of Greece
not occupied then by Turks and Egyp-
tans was now under the influence of
KolokotrOni, a mere Russian agent.
The western powers began to "sit up
and take notice." 1t looked as if the
car and the sultan were about to di-
vide Greece between them. The Gre
clan question, from being one of senti-
ment had become one of practical poll
tics.
Delegates of Russia, France and
England met In London and, on July
q, 1927, signed a convention which
established, On paper, kingdom OF
Greece. In August the fleets of Eng
land, France and Russia blockaded the
Turco- Egyptian fleet of over 80 men
of-war lying in the harbor of Nava-
rino. On October 26 the allied fleets
entered the harbor, and after a battle
of five hours, totally destroyed

through the interpreter.
"H0w do you know he took it?"
asked Mr.. Hogan, the assistant district
attorney.
Somebody told me that he said ne
did" declared Mary Z.
"Are you sure he took it?"
"Some fellows saw him count it,"
parried Mary.
''In what denominations was the
money!"
''In two rolls; one had eight 81 bills
and the other two $10s."
Witnesses were called. They testi-
fed that they had seen Feodor pick
up the money from the floor. He then
counted the So roll and showed it to
the assemblage. This he returned to
Mary later. Mary admitted It, She
even admitted that she might have lost
the money from the stocking.
Judge SimmS became worried.
But l can't see," he said, "how the
money got out of the stocking. The
mystery is too deep for me. How
ever, there can be no charge of larceny
from the person, since the defendant
picked up the money from the floor"
FeodOr then proved to the satisfac-
ton Of the court that he had not ritled
Mary's stocking, but that whatever
money he had he had found on the
floor. And since there was no evil
dence concerning the missing $50, Fec
dor was allowed to go.
