DOINGS OF THE DUFFS Danny Is the Guilty One DRAINAGE OFTEN INJURES ay \ “Is the Corn Beit Drying Up?” is the title of an interesting article in the Literary Digest of April 15. It comes at an opportune time as a drainage congress is being held in Bismarck to- day. ‘There has been agitation in this county to dra‘n lakes and ponds, but this article raises a very interest- ing point for discussion and one on which the drainage experts who meet here tomorrow can well address them- selves, ‘ The article follows: “Is thle Corn Belt Drying Up?” To this question, asked by George H. Dacy in an articls contributed to ‘The IHustrated (World (Chicago) he replies that itis, if by “drying up’ we mean the lowering.of the level of water stored in the soil. This level has fall- en an average of nine feet thnoughout the United States since the Civil War. Mr. Dacy holds excossive drainage re- sponsible for much of the change, and ihe thinks'that if we keep it up, Illinois, Iowa end Indiana may become: un- profitably arid. Mr. Dacy asserts plainly that underdrainago may de- velop into overdrainage to the per- manent disadvantage of the lands’thus rescued unless land reclamation en- thusiasts make moro comprehensive studies of both tha losses and bene> fits which result when waterlogged fields are drained and dried. He con- tinues: - A Reserve Moisture “The surplus ground water really is a reserve moisture supply for the crops which they can draw on dur- ing.periods of drought. Ordinarily the upper level of the gnound water coincides very closaly with the limit of its availability for crop growth. The universal lowering of the ground- water level + throughout the. United States should be a matter of grave concern tp all of us, as it indicates re- strictfons in potential fogd: production unless efficient control‘measures are off, floods and soil removal, while the DZ é 6 3. 5 instituted and practised‘\religiously. | protection and multiplication of our Clay ey) B Log Zn “During the last sixty years, the av- erage lowering of the ground-water level for the entire country has amounted to approximately nine feet. In Iowa, during this period, the water- table level has dropped on the average 12.5 feet. The recession of the ground: water is still qontinuing gradually year by year. Unless most effective measures are adopted and practised to surface run-off is” one of: the chief causes of the l6wering of the subsoil water table. This condition, fortun- ately, can be remedied very easily. The waste of sq'l water results indi- rectly in depleting the fields, to a cer- tain extent, of their supply of plant food. Run-off waters cause destruc- tive floods and heavy property dam- age. They destroy the navigable prop- erties of many minor streams and al- £0 operate to contaminate the drink- ing-water supply. Water losses of . particular moment also result from the cultivation of the land, drainage and industrial operations such:as min- ing. Open ditches are flagrant offend- ers in howering the water table and increasing the run-off.” Nature's Safeguards. In most of the Corn Belt States, says Mr. Dacy, the local ponds, streams and small lakes were Nature's safeguards to maintain a fairly con- stant ground-water level, to stabilize stream flow and to reducs soil waste. The extensive construction of in- numerable open ditches and the drains with catchbasins in many Middle wes- tern faming regions has more or less (complately removed the natural bar- riers. Open ditches are objectionable ‘because they waste from two to eight acres of land per mile while their banks devalop all kinds of obnoxious weeds. Tile dra‘nage operates to equalize the run-off while open. ditch- es increase the inequalities between flood waters and low waters. We read further: Water Conservation. “Investigations by the United States Geological Survey in the White Moun-, tains of New Hampshire show conclus- ively that the amount of forest is in- timately assoqiated with the regula- tion of,stream flow. Deforestathm’ makes for rapid melting of snow wa- ters and increases the amount of run- forest resources work for the conserv-. ation of valuable soil moisture.’ Po- tentially, the matter of water con- servation will be one of the most im- Portant which will confront progres- sive agriculturists.| Intelligent drain- age and cultivation as practised by, the leading Corn Belt communities’ will be the most effective weapons of storm and. thaw waters through | WITH A PAIR OF scissors!

ASKED WEHE’S RIGHT TO STAY IN OFFICE ‘Commissioner of Insurance Olsness has declined to issue a new bond to L. J. Wehe as member of the Work- men’s Compensation Bureau until an opinion iby tho Attorney-General has been rendered on the alleged failure of Wehe to file his oath of office. Wehe filed a new oath with the’Secre- | tary of State. ‘Wehe’s explanation is that he was appointed March 31, 1919, and took his oath of office April 7, 191%. The legis- lature of 1919 increased the member- ship of the board and at the same time increased the length of terms of the incumbents, Wehe’s term being lengthened to the second Monday in January, 1923, and that of S. S.\Mc- Donald to January, 1925. it was unnecessary to file a new oath of, office for the continued term be- tween April 7, 1922 and January, 1923, but’ said that he did so to dis- pose of the matter. > S. S. McDonald, member of the bu- reau who questioned Wehe's right to sit, declares Wehe by his own reason- ing ‘forfeited his office by failing to file an oath of office within ten days after tha appointment commeticed. THE ELTINGE TONIGHT “What.a tangled web we weave ‘When first we practicdito deceive.” This wicht ba the text of “Don’t Tell Evetything” which, comes to the Eltinge theater tonight and tomorrow, Thursday and Friday. It is-a Para- mount picture with {Wallace Rei Gloria Swanson and Elliott Dexter in the feature roles. In the story the handsome Cullen! Dale, played by Mr. Reid, is ensnared in a trap of ‘his own making when he tries to deceive the girl he is engaged to, in some cases, and tells her the truth in others. The result is that she doesn’t believe his at all and when; the other woman comes into the story, is jealous. There is a battle of wo- men’s wits and’a self sacrificing friend | (played by Elliott Dexter) who tries to help ‘Marian (Miss Swanson) to w:n out against the intrigante, played by Dorothy Cumming. There is a polo game, a scene in a} luxurious mountain lodge, some love scenes that aro most entrancingly real, a lot of good wholesome comedy and witnal the spirit of the out of doors. The climax is a complete sur- prise. ‘MARY PICKFORD A BOY IN NEXT PICTURE The thing that will probably inter- est the public most about Mary Pick- ford’s “Little Lord Fauntleroy,” com- ing to the Rialto Theater tonight as the feature attraction, is not so much the fact that she plays a dual role in this‘picture as that sho takes the part of a boy. Little Mary has played a dual role before—in “Stella Maris’—but _ this will be the first time she has ever ap- peared as a boy throughout an entire photoplay. While it is true that she had worn masculine garb in some of her previous productions, she did so «ag a girl masquerading as a boy for the moment only. But in her film version of Frances Hodgson Burnett's Wohe holds | ‘could be developed int valuable’ sources of wild game and fish produc- tion, their utility as economic proj- ects would bo endorsed. Such reser- vations might serve incidentally as parks, playgrounds or recreation sum- mer camps.” 8reat story, Miss Pickford is-constant- jly on the screen as Little Lord Faunt- leroy or as his mother; in fact, much j0f the time she is there both as the mother and the little lord, all by the laid of cleverly devised ‘dauble expos- ure‘ work of the cameraman, Charles Rosher. si | ¢—-——_-_—____.________._» CITY NEWS | oe —o Enters Hospital.
