Secretary Laying Competitions,

NuAAANhAtAsAA9s
At last the expected change in stand
ing of the leading pens has come about
and pen three overtops twenty-eight
by three eggs at the end of the forty
sixth week of the Eleventh Philadel-
phla North American international
Egg-Laying Competition at Milford,
Del. In the meantime, pen twenty
three, third high, and pen eight,
fourth high, are piling up eggs to their
credit in greater quantities than second
and first place holders and other
changes may take place, which will
switch around one or two of the four
pens mentioned above. All Of these
pens are now over 900 eggs each, rang
ing from s1e to s67.
These changes are more or less seri-
Gus in that the former high pens are
about to be displaced or have so far
changed production effort as to cause
conjecture as to final outcome.
Another pen, 73. is expected to enter
the 9OO-class next week, making five to
secure totals above.
An average of 1SO eggs per bird.
In individual scoring the same condi-
ton exists as stated last week-bird
three in pen twenty-eight must lay
an average of five eggs per week for
the remaining six weeks to reach the
800 mark-this bird came back with
five eggs in the current week and holds
a total of go eggs; six weeks with five
eggs per week will give this bird final
of 800 eggs.
No other bird is within possible reach
of bird three in pen twenty-eight, the
leading individual; second high score
is 221, held by birds one in pen three
and bird three In pen twenty-three;

Joplin and other points where there

There are two classes Of cooperative
miners. The first comprises men who

mines. The second comprises the men
who are working at large mines under

The first class is not new in the

New Plan Being Tried Out
By A. L. &I. Co. May Re-
Uolutionize Charges in The
Lower Rio Grande Valley
BY RALPH l.. BUELL.

MERCEDES. Texas. July l2-A new
era Is dawning upon the Lower Rio
Grande Valley, an era of the scientific
distribution and conservation of water
used for irrigation purposes. While
the larger problems of flood control
are being considered. the proper util-
ization Of the water used by the in
dividual farmer and orchardist is being
worked out carefully
IL has long been recognized axiom
in the Valley that enough water is
wasted each year 10 irrigate the en-
tire section the next year, but until
recently no active steps have been
taken 10 overcome this evil And evil
it is. for two reasons. In the first
place. waste of anything is a cardinal
economic sin. and to waste water,
which costs time and money to convey
10 the farmer. can be no exception to
the general rule. In the second place.
heavy application of water will
ruin the best land in the world, and
there are too many who consider that
water-loggcd lands are not the least
of the dangers confronting the Valley
grower.
IL must be admitted that the method
pursued by the irrigation companies in
the past in selling their product
watcI-has not been conducive to the
economical use Of water by its GUS
toners. the farmers and the orchardmcn.
Water has heretofore been sold at
"A set price per irrigation. If man
