ON DRAINAGE
COMPLETED

A fine series of alkali drainage
and alfalfa irrigation meetings has
been completed this week, under
the auspices of the agricultural eX-
tension service.
The alkali and drainage meet
ing took place Wednesday afternoon
at the L. E. Sinclair ranch near
Calipatria where officials of the If
rigation district and extension SER
vice were speakers. Sinclair dis
cuSSed the results obtained by tile
drainage on his ranch where early
spring peas are grown. Cost of tile
drainage is approximately Is cents
per foot, this figure varying accord
ing to soil conditions.
j. B. Brown, extension specialist
in irrigation, talked on some of the
engineering problems involved and
Frank Beyschlag, farm advisor, dis
cussed the salt problem of the val
ley.
Two alfalfa irrigation meetings
were held, one at the w. A. McFad-
den ranch near Calipatria, yester-
day and the other at the G.. G.
Bennett ranch near Heber, We'd
nesday. Brown, Beyschlag. and
George L. Winwright, assistant farm
advisor attended these meetings.
AS a result of the experimental
tions it is recommended that the
farmer examine the sub soil with
six foot soil auger. Should this
soil appear to be dry slow head
of water would be applied during
the cool weather to get the mois-
ture down. The experiments show
that getting the moisture down into
the subsoil results in increased
yield.

day that 1t is not distinguished for its
excess Of courtesy or its fine considera-
ton Of the delicate feelings of others.
It has been well said that endowed
chairs in our higher schools Of learning
and universities designed to inculcate
IN the youth the incompatible values Of
what are commonly called the "ameni-
ties" would prove of inestimable service.
We OF America in our domestic and
social relations can learn much from
some OF our foreign neighbors. They
may not accomplish as much in q given
space OF time as we do, but they do
demonstrate the value Of better social
and domestic practice and usage.
The highest exemplar Of the finest
things OF chivalry. courtesy and an ex-
quisite refinement Of feeling is the Mas
ter Himself. Incident after incident is
recorded in the brief narrative Of the
gospels that speaks Of the delicacy of
His approach to lives that were bur-
dened by sin, sorrow and misfortune.
No ungenerous word, no stern rebuke
with the single exception of that ad-
ministered to the superficially right
eous). no lack Of understanding of en-
vironing circumstances or antecedent
causes marked His course. To save the
embarrassment Of one whose guilt was
acknowledged, He stopped down and
wrote upon the ground. and the infinite
tenderness of His Word. Hath no man
condemned thee? Neither do I con-
denim thee; go, and sin no more" is ex-
pressive Of q chivalrous feeling that is
quite Incompatible. Those who have
sought to exemplify His teachings and
live by His precepts have felt their re-
fining and ennobling influence. 1t can
hardly be that one who has accepted
His leadership could be other than
gentle, considerate and courteous in all
human contacts. When a disciple de-
MED Him, 1t is recorded that He
turned and looked upon Peter"-noth-
Ing more, but that look of gentle re-
minder was sufficient and the erring
disciple went out and "wept bitterly"
In every sphere of our life domestic,
social, occupational, the recovery of
those things that make for refinement
OF bearing and delicate consideration of
the feelings of others are greatly need
ed. Companionship with the great
Master means elevation Of soul, enrich

may lead that country back to a more
prosperous position. The year 1888
was one of record gold production in
the Rand, and the mines added profits
are reported already to have been "di-
rectly and indirectly reflected in the
improved economic life of the country"
The worlds supplies of silver last
year, including new production, de-
monetized coinage. and sales by China
and the government of India amounted
to some 273 100000 ounces. The actual
new production was around 10000 900
ounces, of which the United States pro-
duced 81 900; Mexico, 69.1O0.oo0;
Canada. 15,4oO,OOo; South America.
13,5o0OOo and the rest of the world
perhaps 43,600,000. In addition, we
must take into account approximately
45.000,0 900 ounces from Soviet Russia's
demonetization of silver coinage. Ger
many also made coinage changes dur
ing the year, the government asking
the German people to turn over to 1t
some 100000 ounces Of silver from
their private boards.
The Indian government sold the
white metal to a total of some 50000,-
600 ounces. This amount included the
10000, 900 ounces shipped to the United
States for the account of the British
WdI OCUG PdylCtlt Sll1.
nese commercial transactions, finally,
showed an excess Of exports over i'm
ports of silver of some Is 900 900 ounces
Silver production in the United
States in 1888, according to the Bureau
Of Mines, was just under $4,000 900
ounces, as compared with 22,400,000 in
1882
Authorities here point out that in
the United States the price of silver
itself is not the determining factor In
production, since q large proportion Of
the white metal Is mined as by-prod-
uct of other metals, chiefly Of lead,
zinc, iron and copper.
Just what will be the effect on the
American mining industry Of the new
governmental attitude toward silver, it
is too early to predict. However, soon
after the Presidents silver proclamation
of December 81, 1888, stating that over
a period of four years newly mined sill
yer will be bought by the United States
Treasury at price Of 64t2 cents an
ounce, several Of the larger mining en-
terprises in the straight silver cIassitl-
cation. notably those at Creede, Colo. |;
Shafter, Tex, and Tonopah, New,
which have been idle for several years,
declared they were preparing to re-

In Germany on q platform calling,
among other things. for Q sweeping
revision Of the frontiers imposed upon
the Reich by the treaty Of Versailles.
Foremost among National Socialist de-
mands was the w1ping out Of the
Corridor" which cuts straight across
Eastern Germany and separates East
Prussia from the rest Of the fatherland.
On Friday last at Berlin Germany
and Poland signed a ten-year agree
ment which pledges both countries
during that period to settle by direct
negotiations all disputes arising between
them. The agreement adheres closely
to the principle Of the Kellogg anti
war pact. One Of the outstanding i'm
plications of the accord Is the decision
CT the cor tracing governments to ignore
the League Of Nations as a forum in
which to compose their differences
an evident recognition on Poland's part
that Germany has turned her back
on Geneva. perhaps forever.
While frontiers are not specifically
mentioned in the new agreement, they
could hardly have been out of the
minds of the Berlin and Warsaw states
men, as "rectiflcation" of the frontiers
represented by the Corridor" has been
the classic bone of contention between
Germany and Poland.
The whole world welcomes this new
guarantee of peace in Europe. Not the
least significant aspect of it is its index
OF the stability of German policy. It
indicates that the present German gov
ernment feels itself secure for the COM
ing decade, is considered by Poland to
be firmly in the saddle and is ready to
dedicate itself to the cause of peace.
From every standpoint the agreement
OF the Germans and the Poles to re-
frain from force in the arbitrament of
their controversies is one of the most
substantial contributions of the era to
the cause of international amity.
