MR.. ROGERS REPLY
TO MR. WATERS

Editor Star: I would not further
notice Mr.. Waters communication to
your paper but he either does not
know or wilfully handles the truth
very carelessly. When he said spent
$4,000 from Oct. 1st to January last
fall and when he said it was only the
retiring commissioners that tried to
spend everything in sight and some
that wasn't, this is untrue. He can
call it what he pleases. The records
show that on jan /, 1921. Commits
sioner Meffert had ON hand $7742.12,
Commissioner Talton had on hand
$502S, Commissioner Rogers had on
hand $5390.01. That board had pur-
chased over $4,000 worth Of up-to-
date, labor-saving machinery. and i
left in my district for my successor
IN office one tractor, one truck, one
road grader, one road drag, one little
gasoline engine used to hoist and load
clay from the pit and all needed i'm
plements to- build and keep up the
roads, which he can do If he does not
resort to helping his friends too much
to give big price per day for boy
and a pony horse and wagon to haul
straw a long distance TO put on the
sandy roads / viii venture the as
sertion, Gus. that You had as much
money for your district the first of
last January as you win have the first
of next, and more than you will have
to turn over to your successor next
January, provided you do anything
and / believe your friends viii make
you do. 1 notice you got your state
ment from the auditor Jan 31st and
you want to charge up TO me what you
spent IN January. Wen, all this
amounts to but little. Keep cool and
continue to say, 81 amt got no mon

CROWDED GARDEN OF ASIA"
Some eixty Million Chinese Live In
an Area About Half the Size
OF Texas.

While many of US may feel TINT we
lie In exceedingly well populated dis
tricts, even our most crowded farming
communities are almost deserted when
compared with some sections of China.
Take Sze.chuan for example. says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
In this province some 60,O00.00O per-
sons live. The area is lS1 1000 square
miles. As Sze.ehuan Is surrounded
by mountains and in some places Is
bare rock itself, about 80 per cent Of
the total area is impossible to Guilt
vate. We find. in consequence, that
these G0,00O,000 human beings are
crowded into space less than half
the size of Texas, and that all the food
they eat Is grown within this area.
The problem Of raising the food
Necessary to keep these millions alive
Is complicated by the Chinese farm.
ers lack OF scientific knowledge and
the primitive implements he uses III
addition, rice which is the staple food
Of China. Is the most difficult of all
cereals 10 produce. This Is particular
~ true In country like China. where
the hills must be terraced and the wa
ter used to irrgate the paddy fields
be lifted by wheels moved by foot
power
Yet these 600ooO00 persons who
live In Sze.chuan never know famine,
while other parts Of China arc some
times decimated through death by hun
ger. In This, the garden OF Asia, Is
produced nearly every vegetable and
grain we know, besides some we do
not know. The climate Is so advan.
taseous 10 agriculture and the soil Is
so rich that fine foods are easily
raised. The abundant rainfall, with
climatic and other conditions, provides
the water necessary for irrigation at
certain seasons, for certain purposes.
For instance, so plentiful are or.
anges-and they are second in quality
TO noDe-that thousand oranges may
be bought for half dollar. However,
we must remember that 80 cents In
China. especially In SEE chuan. has
purchasing power OF many dollars 10
that densely crowded land.
