Report Made by Deputy Labor Comissioner. Jefferson City, Mo., April 5.—J. H. Noles Peputy Labor Commissioner, who has been preparing a special re- port on the subject of draining and leveving in Missouri, last week visit- ed Bates county to secure some infor- mation for his forthcoming report, and also to inspect the large drainage system in that county. He returned to Jefferson City Saturday, and-gave out the following interview relat to his trip to Bates county: “My visit to Bates county last week was a very profitable one. The land in Bates county, as a whole, ranks far above the average of the State, and some of the best farms are found there. “My trip down there was for the purpose of inspecting the drainage system and securing information for our special report which wlll be ready for distribution within the next ten days. I had heard a great deal about the valley of the Marias des Cygnes river, but that was the first opportu- nity I ever had to closely inspect it. There is no richer soil in the world than the alluvial deposits along that river. The famous Nile Valley can be no better. The Marias des Cygnes soil is an alluvial deposit that has been forming during millions of years, and it will never be exhausted by cultivation. “T have traveled over much of Mis- souri this spring and the best wheat I have seen in the State 1 found right along the old bed of the river and lo- cated in the drainage district. I pre- dict this wheat will average from 30 When You Think Of the pain which many women experience with every month id makes the geationces and kindsees elways ‘associ- ated with womanhood seem to be While in general no woman rebels against what she re- dards as « natural necessity there is-no woman who would not gladly be free from this recurring period of pain. well, and gives them freedom establishes regularity, subdues inflam- weakness, ore the system is a success. ” | judgment the promoters made a mis- to 40 bushels an acre next summer. All of the land in that district will | produce crops like that when the) drainage system has been properly | worked out. One such crop during these times of high prices will pay for the cost of drainage two or three times. “Thave been greatly interested in the question of draining swamp land, and after inspecting the large drain- age ditch in Bates county, I prophecy it will prove a success and will render nearly all the land in the district tilla- | ble. | “The main ditch has one defect | which will have to be overcome be- In my take in not constructing the ditch \deeper; it is now only 12 feet. The! | old bed of the river is lower than the ‘bed of the new channel; consequent- | ly, the water during low stage con- | tinues to flow in the old bed of the | river. The bed of the new channel should be made deeper so the water will flow through it all the time. “By deepening the ditch, the ero- | sion of the sides will be hastened and during two or three years time the channel will be greatly increased in and capacity. This is the history | of the other drainage districts in vari- | ous parts of the state that have been | in existence for a number of years. | I firmly believe that this drainage | system will prove a complete success | and transform all of that rich soil into | splendid agricultural land within five | years time.”’ | The special report which Mr. Nolen | has prepared on the question of re-| claiming swamp and overflow land will contain a description and map of the Bates county drainage district. | This report will be ready for distribu- tion about the first of next week. almost a miracle. , a] from pain. FARM FURROWS. Farmer and Stockman The weather that kept much corn in the field all winter kept a pile of manure at my barn door. It was frozen tight for nearly three months. The other day it was hauled—twenty- two spreader loads of it—and it made almost three acres of land look $5 an acre better to me. Ought a post to be set or driven | the “easy end” down? I have heard the question argued by the hour, and know no more about it than I did be- fore, but have a hint of an idea that the bigger the portion in the ground the longer it will last. My guess is that the corn acreage is going to be a whopper this year. A lot of the clover had been frozen out, in the winter wheat belt much of the wheat has been winter killed and will be replaced with corn, and everyone has more of an idea that corn is king, any It would do me good to see corn enough raised once again so there are no poor horses in the coun- try. An old-fashioned winter is soon forgotten when followed by an old- fashioned spring. Aprolonged dry spell is the best road maker and this should teach us that to get rid of the water is the first step in road making. If a cer- tain per cent of the road money could be set aside for tiling the roads even though it were necessary to go upon the adjoining land (o get an outlet it would be better than piling more dirt on the grades, where the water can not be carried off by drainage. A great many farmers are getting the bank habit in these piping times of prosperity and are finding that check books act as a check on many little leaks that come if money is kept in the pocket or about the house. In buying any kind of farm machin- sry itis a good plah to consider the merits of the machine first and the price afterwards. A few dollars on the first cost is soon forgotten, but the machine is with you always. The only croaker that is at all wel- come is the little frog that gives forth a faint croak to let us know that spring is ‘here. The human croaker jis never welcome and his noise even less so. I wish someone could tell us how to clean a hand separator without | washing it. We have tried flushing out the bowl with water of different temperatures, but it generally turns out to be a sort of a bob-tailed flush. | We have also tried rinsing with"no better results. Until we know better | we must continue to wash our separa- | tor twice a day in order to keep it clean. There will be many new silos built | in this vicinity this summer; the main | thing to guard against is to make them | absolutely air tight and not too large in diameter. Where anyone keeps| twenty cows or more a sixteen-foot silo may be used, but it is doubtful if any larger will ever be built here. Iam sorry to confess that I believe that one of my neighbors stretches | the truth at times. Of course, I have} no positive proof on the subject, but | I will give you an example and let} you judge for yourself. His wife started an incubator about a month} ago and I saw him and asked him| what success they had in their hatch. “Quite good success,’’ he replied, “as we averaged a little over one| chicken to each egg.”’ | Democrats to Hear Woman.
