this, it shows that this whole vast country from Maine to California is subject to drouth. No fixed laws govern the rain fall and no one can tell what the agricultural conditions will be in any portion of the" country beforehand. It simply resolves itself into the fact that better and newer methods of farming justify and the fact is plainly pictured in hundreds of places where large fields of fine growth, produced by modern farming methods are bordered by actual failures vre old, out-of-date methods farming are clung to. ivansas being practically a semi-arid, section where modern ideas soak in rapidly stands out very prominent this year since on account of its being senii- arid no great amount of rainfall is relied upon but instead the newer methods of conserving moisture being used result in a condition of preparadness which carries Kansas through while in dry times tlje regions relying upon rain 'all to the sacrifice of better farming methods and are so sure of moisture, are left to perish.

Results from irrigation this year show that no drouth needs to cause failure where pumping plants are kept in working order and where competent operation of them is maintained.

This of course applies to the section with an exhaust-able water supply and only a gennerally level surface which makes irrigation feasable and practical and the success ot the Garden City District in these particulars is abundantly testified to by the numerous tourists passing through here so many of whom have emphatically said, "The Garden City District is as an Oasis in a Desert. We have always been of the opinion, and tw we are still stronger of the opinion, that the shallowwater and the perfect laying of our land for irrigation are conditions which' are not properly appreciated even by many of our own people and we do hope that with the examples which are brought before the people this year that a better rea- lization of the value and worth of our district as a farming centre and a place to live will be brought about.

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY A NAPOLEONIC COLONY IN ALABAMA. By A. W. MACY. The overthrow of Napoleon and the establishment of a new regime in France was followed by the banishment of many of his prominent followers and supporters.

Among them were general)) and other officers of high rank, and ladies who had figured prominently In court circles. One group of them camo to America, with the Idea of establishing a little community of their own, but subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. Congress grant ed them, by act of March 3, 1817, four townships of land, to be selected by them In the stats cf Ai.il.ama; the conditions being that they should cultivate the vine on one acre In each quarter section, and the olive on another, and at the end of 14 years pay the government 12 an acre for the land. About 400 men and women came over, under the leadership of Marshal Grouchy and General Lefebre. Most of them settled In two Villages, Demopolls and Eagtesvllle, In what Is now Marengo county.

Here they lived for several years In quietness and simplicity. Bu the vine and the olive did not prosper, and the leaders became discouraged. The colony gradually melted away, though It is said the descendants of some of these arlstocratio French settiers are still to be found In that region. Celebrate Wedding Anniversery Mr. R.
