DEMOCRATS SETTING
Up THE PIN s
PALMER AND COX FORCES SEEK
TO FORM COALITION
AGAINST MCADOO

San Francisco, June 26.-An eff
fort was on foot today for forming
a coalition between the Palmer and
Cox forces here with view to pre-
venting the nomination of William
G. McAdoo. Emissaries from Palm
er's headquarters called on E. H.
Moore, CoXs manager, George
White, one of his chief lieutenants,
and Charles f. Morris, Cox's private
secretary. They asked how CoX's
supporters would view an alliance
stating that their queries might be
regarded as preliminary to later
negotiations 1t was pointed out
that the McAdoo forces being leader
less and therefore unable to make
protective deals would be unable to
stand against a Palmer-CoX coalition.
Cox's workers replied to the over
lures that they regarded Palmer
highly but did not think he could be
elected president if nominated. AS
a vice presidential possibility they in
tmated, he might be considered
There the matter rests for the time
being. In the Cox camp a boom was
inflated for Secretary of Agriculture
Meredith for the vice presidential
nomination. The Cox people say he
would make an ideal second man on
the ticket whether Cox was nomi-
mated or not.

Drainage in Lake

DeSmet, June 26.-As a result of
stration put in on the Swartz farm,
east of Lake Preston, several calls
for drainage systems have come in

Preston. Several of these farmers
expressed their willingness to com
bine these systems into one large sys-

College Experts Push
Farm Drainage Plans

Brookings, June 26.-Drain tiles
laid from three to four feet deep in
flat lands or under the sloughs is the
only safe way of insuring crop
against excess water, said r. l.. Pat
ty, extension engineer at the State
college.
The best depth to lay them will de-
pend upon the texture of the soil in
each individual case. The shallower
the tiles are laid the closer the lines
of lateral tiles must be installed tc
make the ground fit for cultivation
in a reasonable time after heavy
rain.
The fine thing about tiles Is thai

large amount of water f"0m the fol-
lowing rain before any will show
up above the surface he ground.
In the average soil it - safe to fig
ure that tile will completely drain
the soil for a distance of one rod on
side of the line for each foot in
depth. The extension division of
State college is cooperating with the
county agents in tile drainage work
on farm systems.

This piece of work enables the
farm bureau to advise any farmer in
this community if he has a practical
outlet and will give one an opportu-
nifty to learn what can be done for
them in the way of drainage. 1t will

buried where II could have done no
possible good
This demo uaqration has convinced
all of those wno came in contact
with it that it is absolutely necessary
to put in drainage system accord
ing to engineering principles.
