Elias B. Caldwell, the clerk OF the united
States Supreme Court, who handed the spade
to President Madison, who turned the first sod.
THE canal as originally planned, extended on
] direct line almost to the foot Of the Capt.
tol following the course Of the Tiber and at
this point turned southward Much of the Mall
between the Capitol and Sixth street at this
time consisted of marsh land and even in some
parts the lowlands hereabouts, which extended
for distance to both sides Of the Avenue, were
generally covered with water.
Congress opportunity to reclaim this
land, and on May T. 1922, passed an act to
drain the low grounds" and this brought
about the change of the bed CT the canal,
which subsequently made to flow through
the center of the Mall from about Sixth to
Third street
Up to 1882, except for a brief period, the
canal was in private hands but on January
of that year congressional act was approved
authorizing, among several things the city gov
eminent to purchase the right, title, interest
and estate in the canal and for this purpose
to issue certificates of stock to be paid to the
stockholders of the Washington Canal Co.
Congress has not always been far-sighted in
the past in giving away pubic lands for private
purposes and only through sheer luck has it
emerged partially satisfactorily in this city.
In the case of the board of regents of the
of the Mall given, and in whom title to
some 80 acres is still vested according to the
statement of Senator ]. S. Morrill, made in the
Senate in 1885, the results have been justified.
But, on the other hand, Congress in 1876 found
it was unable to complete the Washington
Monument until the Washington National
Monument Society conveyed back to the Gov
eminent the whole of Reservation g. which it
had generously given that society by deed dated
April IL. 1849.
In looking over the record Of the Washington
Canal we find in section Of the act of May 81,
1882, that Congress conveyed to "the mayor etc,
of Washington the property known as the Mall,
lying between Sixth and Fifteenth streets west
and extending from Canal street 215 feet south
to the continuation of A street north, and all
of that part of the reservation on the south
side of the said Mall extending from B street
south 800 feet to A street south and lying be-
tween Sixth and Fifteenth streets west.'' How
ever, at the next session of Congress an act
was passed giving the Corporation of WASH
ington $15O000 "in consideration of its relin-
gushing all right and title to the said Mall
and reservation"
TODAY, as we look up and down Constitution
] avenue with its broad asphalt surface, we
can scarcely picture the size Of this old canal
and what it once meant to Washington, with
its extensive wharves built upon piles where
the merchants of the city received their goods
and quite frequently even stored them. Natu
rally, the merchant paid regular set price to
the corporation for this privilege.
On wood or bark he paid cents a cord; on
plank scantling or other timber is cents thou
sand; on shingles and laths, cents thousand;
palings or pickets, 10 cents; hogshead slaves

ISLANDS HAVE
GOOD BUSINESS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. Opal
though suffering from the world
depression, the United States in
sular possessions came through the
year without intense suffering and
made some progress in education
and public health.
This, in general, was the toni
of an unusual report submitted to
Secretary of War Hurley by Major
Gen. F. LIE j. Parker, Chief of the
Insular Affairs Bureau of the War
Department.
Public revenues in the Philip
pines in 1933 totaled $32,391 ,587,
a decrease of $5,345,905 under the
previous year The islands had a
deficit Of $5,054,810, Parker said,
but made this up out Of surplus
accumulated in past years.
The United States continued to
dominate PHILIPPINE trade, taking
80 per cent Of its exports and sup
plying SO per cent of its imports
in 1881, Total trade of the islands
with the United States was valued
at S145, $685. ,O80.
Health in the Philippines inn
proved. the general mortality rate
in 1881 being 22.07 per 1000 as
compared with 22.78 in 1890. Chol-
era accounted for 766 lives, sharp
drop from the 3,O79 deaths from
this disease in 1880.
Puerto Rican finances during
the last year were satisfactory
beyond all expectation. The rev
enue of $12,662, ,359.76 was the larg-
est ever collected in the island.
This was accounted for by an in
crease in customs receipts.
Foreign trade of Puerto Rico for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1892,
amounted to $147698,O39 as com
pared with S174,838, ,337 in the pre-
vious fiscal year. r-population
continued to be Puerto Ricos most
oati nal problem.

resistant to such pests as bean
thrips and red spider, has been
made, reports Professor Crocheron
In the San Fernando valley OF
Los Angeles county, survey has
been made of baby lima bean fields
comparing average yields of the
Henderson Bush variety with Hopi
lima No. Sc. To date the compari-
son showed a difference in yield of
four sacks to the acre in favor CT
Hopi lima No. Sc.
Wheat Yields Well
In Imperial county, interest is be-
ing shown in White Federation
wheat, as result of the past years
paintings, according to H. Lee Lam
derman, assistant farm advisor
Six growers. with a total of 404.5
acres produced an average of Sc
bushels per acre, or approximately
23ie sacks. The highest yield was 65
bushels. The lowest was Ala bushels
per acre.
F. M. Ballou Ell Centro, and Le-
rcy C. Hawk, Calexico, produced
White Federation wheat which
passed the "Calapproved" stand
ard of the University of California
and the California Farm Bureau
Federation. These growers repre-
sent the only two lots of White Fed
Grafton wheat in California that
passed the rigid requirements fol
purity, termination, and uniform
ity, Of the "Calapproved" classifi-
cation.
In addition to numerous COM
mercial paintings of wheat by
growers, rod-row variety tests are
telng conducted for the second OF
q three year program. Five yari-
cites CT wheat, and six varieties OF
barley, selected as to adaptibility
to Imperial Valley conditions, are
being used.
-Four plots Of wheat and live plots
OF barley, each. in a different part OF
the valley are now planted ano
growing. These rCd-roW variety
trials, are conducted by The Melo-
land experiment station, under
Waldo w. Weeth, with cooperation

NEW SYSTEM
Of IRRIGATION
BEING TRIED

Experiment in contour flood irri-
eating system Tor citrus orchards
is being conducted at The j. r.
Southworth ranch west of the Nc
Cabe school, according to Frank
Beyschlag, farm advisor, who states
that, as far as he knows, this is
the first time that system Of irri-
cation has been USED with citrus,
although it is used to good adVan-
age in the Sacramento valley in
deciduous orchards.
This system is designed to assure
sufficient moisture penetration to
insure the needs CT the tree and
also to leach out salt accumulat-
ing from the irrigation water wnen
excessive moisture penetration is
not obtained.
Borders are iaid out as in rice
fields, according to levels of the
land, ratheg than the usual meth
cd. These contour borders make it
possible to pond the water, allow
ing for moisture penetration from
clio feet
Beyschlag states that so far the
experiment. ION the SouthWorth
ranch has had highly encouraging
results. Work was begun in June
and at that time trees in the cen
er had made little growth and
their leaves were small. AT the pre-
sent time the majority of these
trees have new shoots with large
leaves indicating that the system
is a success
Southworth reports that the EeW
system has an economic value as
well. Under the old system with
parallel borders he could use only
one second foot of water in "a
hours and it took two men to do
the irrigating. Under the new sys-
tenn he can use five second feet
in "a hours and can do the work
himself with less effort than for
merly
Beyschlag feels that this is an
important and interesting expert
ment. In many valley orchards
where the customary irrigating
system is used and where there
is no surface drainage, the water
ponds at the lower end of the or
chard and here The trees are bet
ter, while those in the middle do
not show such good results as the
water has run off. This new scheme
does for the whole orchard what
at present is done for the upper
