I lack of drainage presents herewith the
first of a series of articles on tht need
the plan for betterment and the ulti-
'nte results.)
DRAINAGE.
la the early days of Texas when
immigration began to come in through
the port of Galveston and in other
ways the immigrants were largely
farmers who desired to till the soil.
In choosing a location they passed
over the coastal plain ' sectipn and
made their settlements on higher
lands above the old Bhore line of the
gulf. In every case they knew that
they were settling upon soils less
fertile than those of the coastal plain
but they were led to select these less
fertile mils because of the possibil-
ity of drainage and at that time this
possibility of drainage did not exist
on the coastal plains.
These plains were covered with
very tall grass in which water stood
for the greater part of the year so
that the country was given over al-
most entirely to grazfng cattle.
Some pioneer settlers located along
the banks of the bayous and creeks
where the land was somewhat higher
than those of the adjoining prairies
and in a local way had better drainage
facilities.
While these early pioneers did not
do a great amount of farming they
found that in years of normal or
subnormal rainfall the lands were
extremely productive and wonderful
crops could be grown.
Drainage Was Poor.
As time passed and the country be-
came more thickly settled and the de-
mand for fertile lands more acute
and when grasses upon the prairies
had grown shorter by reason of an-
niiul burning off the humus forming
material efforts were made to extend
farming operations iirto the rich prai-
rie soils. They soon learned that in
years of limited rainfall abundant
crops could be gcuivn but in seasons
of usual rainfall the land was cov-
ered with water which stood several
days before sinking into the soil and
being evaporated by the sun and
wind and in consequence the crops
were destroyed. 9
This led 10 a desire to secure drain-
age. I'nfortunately at the time when
the idea of drainage began to get
into the minds of our people there
were certain inhibitions in our con
stitution which prevented the forma-
tion of drainage districts of an area
sufficiently large to secure real re-
sults. I'nder the law at that time a
drainage district had to be a sub-
division of a county. The eager-
ness of the people to utilize the fer-
tility of the soil led them to the for-
mation of local drainage districts
which depended upon natural water
CHICAGO BROKER

DOLLAR ROBBERY

cates C. McGill in
Werner Safe Cracking
' Associated Press Report.
CHICAGO Nov. 13. Graham C.
McGill a broker is being held by the

nection with the recent robbery of

CAPPER ANSWERS
WILSON'S SPEECH
ON ARMISTICE DAY
Kansas Senator Disagrees
Witlv Views of Former
Executive
Associated Press Iteport r
CONCORDIA. Kans. fiov. 13.--Senator
Arthur Capper of Kansas to-
day replied to a statement made In
and address Saturday night by Former
President Woodrow Wilson that
America bas played an "ignoble and
cowardly" part since the World -war.
Mr. Capper was the principal speak-
er at the annual meeting of the Cloud
County Farm bureau.
"Mr. Wilson's attitude is not sur-
prising" said the junior Kansas sena-
tor referring to Mr. Wilson's Armis-
tice day address. "It is what it has
always been. I cannot agree with him
that America bas played an 'ignoble
and cowardly' part since the war. His
accusation but exhibits once more his
keen disappointment over the refusal
of the American people to approve his
Versailles program. I think time has
shown we made no mistake in staying
out of the league of nations.
"As the leading nation a tremend-
ous responsibility to help restore
peace and order in Europe rests on
America. This nation should only be
limited in the length it should go by
the obligation it owes to its own
citizens to keep them out of European
quarrels. I favor a program of world
co-operation on the lines proposed by
the late President Harding and Secre-
tary Hughes in establishing a world
conrt. By all means we should avoid
getting ourselves in a position where
we again shall -have to sendVour boys
to foreign wars."

of HO feet at bottom and depth of
l'J feet. These will carry the water
quickly from large areas even aft.-r
an extremely heavy rainfall. They
are beginning a real drainage project.
This led to considerable discussion
of the advisability of topographical
surveys and the commissioners court
of Harris county in response to pub-
lic demand undertook a survey of
Harris county. This survey however
was along different lines from that
of Jefferson county. In the Harris
county survey one foot levels were
run from tide water. Harris coun-
ty's portion of the cost of this sur-
vey was $70.7.r)2.0fi. So far it has
been of practically no value in the
drainage of the county. This is not
said in criticism of the survey but
to point out to the people a consid-
erable expenditure of county funds
which has resulted in practically no
benefit because we have not intelli-
gently gone about taking advantage of
the work already done.
In addition to this sum expended
by the county for the survey the va-
' rious local drainage districts have is-
sued bonds amounting to $1.207 .000
and have expended approximately
J.Vi.OOO in maintenance. Despite
these expenditures we have no drain-
age except in periods of subnormal
precipitation.
Adjustable window shelves for flow-
er pots have been placed on the
market.
