tliu Central l'nint dittrii-t, when he
applied water to a field of fourteen
acres of eoru.

a statement made by Mr. liursell on
Sunday, the yield was increased 50
per cent.
Tliu yield in the. 1015 season, when
no water was used, nveraited twenty
bushels of corn to the acre. During:
the past season water was applied
once heavily to the soil, which .is of
li','ht sandy formation. With the ap
plication of water the yield was in-
arreased to fifty bushels to the acre.

Fluted Mr. liursell, ,-is easily double

BORDER ill
WASItlXliTOX, Dec. 18. Major
General Wood, commander of the de
partment of the east, told the military
committee this afternoon that noth
ing could have been more pronounced
than the complete iuef licieucy of the
recent uulitiu mobilization on the
Mexican border.
Vriiing intensive military training
as the only ineans"by which the I'nit
ed States can procure a much-needed
and ndequato national defense, Gen
eral Wood referred to the Mexican
border militia mobilization to empha
size his recommendations.
'You have seen the result of the
recent mobilization of the uiililia on
the border," said General Wood, who
had much to do with the work. "It
was the most terrific and euinplete
failure ever attempted on that line.
Xtttliinjr could be more pronounced
than its complete inefficiency.
"There is practically no military
defense for this country today," Gen
eral Wood continued. "We are deal
ing in consideration of this proposed
universal trainiufr wilh a mutter of
national life-savinjr. Universal train
iii(? is the only way in which we will
over get an adeiuatc military de
fense in this country. It is anti
militaristic mid purely democratic.
We must get it, and get it (piickly."
General Wood's proposal was that
every young: Inn" physically fit for
military service should bj subjected
in his lillli year to six mouths of in
tensive military training', which would
be equivalent lo about eighteen
months of training' as now given in
the regular army. In his'Ulsl year
such a trained soldier would he sub
ject to a call to the colors, and in
that year should he subjected to at
least twenty days' field service. At
the age of L'!l years the term of the
trained cilir.cn soldier in which he
would be subject lo cull in case of
national emergency, would terminate.

BOY'S BAND TO
The Medford boy' band will par
ade for the first time on Tuesday af
ternoon at 4 o'clock. The lit tic baud
which bus recently been organized by
Mr. Mowland is comprised of young
sters, u number of them not yet in
their teens. The boys will make
their initial concert bow to the public
at the Xatatoritua in conjunction with
the Medford band's entertainment on
Tuesday evening. It is a foregone
conclusion that the juvenile band will
be the feature of the concert. Sev
eral musical people that have heurd
the little band exclaim it is hard to
believe the band is of only three
months' training. One of the lads,
lit years of age, Master Irvine Ter
ell, will be heard in ti baritone solo,
accompanied by the Medford hand.
The boy has been under Mr. liow
lutid's tuition for several months, and
is developing rapidly into one of
Medford's soloists. The Medford
band will hold the linal practice this
evening, when the choice progrum of
band music for Tuesday evening will
receive the finishing touches. In ad
dition to the band music, there will be
several vocal solos, ,ttartcts and in
strumental solos, and a brief address
will be given by ('. K. Gates. The
tickets are selling well and a goyd
sized crowd is expected.
