penditures of the federal stud state gov-
ernments and of co-operators totaled

the treatment of range land was less

too much i’f It, as It reduces the num-
ber of acres which can be plowed in
a day, making the tractor that much
less efficient. Short turns, however, are
awkward fer most tractors, and where
such turns are necessary the. operator
often has more or less difficulty In
getting the outfit In the correct posi-
tion for starting Info the new furrow
at the right point. Some tractors turn
more easily in one direction than oth-
ers, and this should be taken into con-
sideration In laying out the fields.
Advantages Summarized.
The advantage* of plowing by the
methods in which the plows are Idle
across the ends of the fields are that
the short, awkward turns are elim-
inated, except In some cases at the be-
ginning and ends of the lands, and
usually less spacek will be left at the
corners to be plowed with horses. The
advantage of the other methods are

A vivid picture of New York's low-
East side Is drawn by Mary Frank,
librarian of the RIvington street
branch of the New York Public li-
brary, In the Century. She writes is
part as follows:
"Tile street was crowded with peo1
pie. Up and down, as far as the ey«
could range, rows of push-carts lined
the curb. Gray-bearded patriarch*
mothers with babies in their arms,
bargained for fruits and vegetable*

i carts threw an Old World light. This
