IMPORTANCE OF ARTESIAN WELLS.

the original scepticism at the thought of sinking a deep, well is readily disposed of by the relative cheapness of the undertaking which nt first thought. seemed to be al- together prohibitive.

This has been the experience of numerous farmers and estate own- ers, and the matter assumes the greatest importance and claims the earliest consideration before em. barking upon any proposition in which an adequate and cheap water supply is an integral part of the proposal.

Examples of much larger wells of this type are to be found at Cairo, where a well, rectangular in shape, measuring 24ft. by 18ft. to a depth of 165ft., is followed by a further cutting 15ft, by 9ft. and 130ft. deep.

Too often the shallow well is open to the pos-Song- sibility of pollution by the ingress of surface water, which in modern life may differ very considerably from that of former times.

It became clear to-day that this understanding will be sought by President Hoover during his con. ferenco with Premier Laval of France when the latter visits the United States late this month.

It also became evident that dis- jurmament and the naval holiday will be linked with war debts and the world financial situation and will be the principal topics of discussion at the Hoover-Laval moeting.
