San Francisco, Dec. 2.-The prose

In the manslaughter trial OF Rosco :

CT Virginia Rape.
The defense renewed its offer tn
submit the case without argument
but this was declined. A recess fol-
lowed
Almost at the same time It became
known that Mrs. Irene Morgan, a de-
defense witness in the Arbuckle trial,
was found unconscious at noon in her
room at the Gift Hotel. According to
the house physician, she had been
drugged.
Mrs. Morgan, who said she served
overseas as nurse in the Canadian
forces had testified she cared for
Miss Rape and that Miss Rape was
a sufferer from an organic trouble,
which might have produced a rupture
internally, as contended by the de
tense.
Captain Theodore Hayward of the
Canadian army testified in refutation
Of defense testimony by Mrs. Morgan
that she was connected with the
Canadian forces.
Mrs. Morgan said on the stand that
she had been affiliated with the Fifth
company" in the Canadian hospital
service at the front. Hayward test
fed there was no Fifth company
Mrs Morgan said also that she served
in the battle of the Marine during
1917. Hayward said the battle was
in 1918

of Miss Rape showed evidence o.

the rupture which caused Miss
Rappes death was the climax OF

on the value and effectiveness Of this
method of stopping erosion"

on the value and effectiveness OF this
method Of stopping erosion
Some farmers who fully realize
the Importance and value Of coE-
pletely stopping erosion on their
farms have gone to the expense OF
installing complete systems of tile
drainage in connection with systems
Of broad-base level-ridge terraces.
This unquestionably is the most ef-
fective method known to hold the
soil of a hill farm in place. In ad-
dition to the removal of the surface
water and the reduction Of erosion
many other benefits to the soil re-
suit from the practice OF drainage"
In fact thus used every advantage
from tile drainage can be obtained
On hill lands.
In some places one finds very re-
markable examples Of drainage on
adjacent hill and fiat lands. Rev.
Father Thomas, Of Vaudeville, has
recently returned from a several
months trip to his old home and
other places in Europe. He WAS
| born at Spires, in the valley of the
thine, in which neighborhood some
ii our American boys are stationed
in the patrol army. The Rhine val
| ey is wonderful for it's agricultural
development, and it is most interest
ing to talk with Father Thomas and
look at his pictures which show
! 5enched terraces running far up the
m untain sides SO steep that animals
and carts cannot be used for hauling
up the manures or for carrying
away the produce, but everything is.
carried up and down in large bask-
cts with shoulder-straps borne on
the backs of the laborers. Yet in
spite of its mountainous character
As per cent ST Rhineland is culti-
| waited, with 16 per cent in meadows
and pastures, and the remainder or
13 per cent is in forests. The great
amount OF arabic land is partly due
to the terracing of the mountain
sides. The great vineyards on those
J benches which make the Rhine wine
so famous are product Of drainage,
tile drainage. Everywhere in West
ern Europe and England the farmer
Is aided by drainage, and that Is
mainly what accounts for the much
higher acreage production shown by
the European farmer as compared
with the American, Notwithstanding
that our soils are far richer in nat
ural content. The European farmer
builds up his soil, no matter how
poor 1t may originally have been, in
contrast with the American methods
of exhausting the native fertility Of
our soil. Our farm machinery which
is astonishing the farmers from
Europe fails to turn the balance in
our favor, chiefly because so few Of
our farmers realize the advantage to
be gained from drainage and rota-
tion Of crops. The farmers along
the Rhine working with obsolete

machinery or practically none at ali
besides hand implements largely
through the advantages Of drainage
make every kind of lands more pro-
duct1ve than our best American soil
used for like purposes. The matter
OF good drainage is not overlooked
by them; their pastures and forests
as well as orchards and lleld are
|seduously cared tor-and properly
drained.
SO, when the st. Tammany hill
farmer overiooks the advantages OF
drainage in connection with terrac-
ing, ne is gradually losing his orlgi-
nal investment in the farm and a
large part of the returns he should
receive from his daily labors, for
every Washing rain is carrying OH
the fertility Of his soil and he IS
losing money faster than If he put
all his change into a pocket with
big hole in it. Adequate drainage
will increase the value Of his farm
and the amount of his farm income
with every succeeding year far III
excess of the cost Of drainage.
Therefore, the hill farmer has a
common interest with the owners OF
fat lands in a parish-wide drainage
movement AS Nthe U. S. agricul-
tural experts say to him, he has need
Of the services Of expert drainage en-
gineers to lay out a drainage and
terrace plan for his farm and to ad-
wise him as to the best method OF
handling his farm lands. 1t will
cost much less to have the State
Drainage Engineers do this work at
the same time other farmers on the
fiat lands are cooperating in drain
age projects. Now, while times are
hard and the price Of labor is fall
ing, is the time to get busy and have
the work done when costs will be
comparatively low. 1t will bring
employment to home people and re-
lieve the hardships to all classes and
occupations The farmers who can
not at present prices sell to advanr-
age could work with their teams and
their individual labor on these drain
age projects and earn good wages.
Drainage taxes can be deferred for
several years when it will again oe
profitable to raise the market farm
crops, and from the increased pro-
duce because of drainage the farmer
will be able to sell his stuff at much
greater profit than is otherwise
possible: Do not forget, drainage,
pays for itself and pays good profits
besides.
