DIvIDISc4 Our J,ANDS.-Mr. Henry
George questions The ACCURACY of the
last census as to the average size OF
farms in the United States, Andsargucs
that the country is going lo"the dogs
on account of the aggregation Of great
estates. Gen. Francis A. Walker,
superintendent of the Census, answers
MIR. George rather sharply, and de-
clarcs that showing is "an utter shnm''
f!om beginning to end. Gen. Walker
claims that the landed property Of all
the older States is in process Of sub
division. In the Soutli there has co.,
tainly been a large increase in the
number Of farms, and the statistics
show that the old plantations are be-
ing constantly divided, and that tho
number Of landholdcrs is constantly
Increasing. o1d Take Georgia for il;
acres in that State divided into 60,95G
farms. III 1880 there were 26, ,043,28
acres divided into 138,626 farms-a
gain of about 10 per cent. in acreage,
ana OF nearly 100 per cent. in tho mum
bcr OF farms. In South Carolina ,t}lc
number Of farms in 1870 was 81 $50
and in 1880 93,8G4. However Mr..
George and Gen. Walker NAV settle
their dispute, it is gratifying to note
the steady increase In the numbcr ooG Of
small farms in the Southern Stotcs,
THE division of large estates into small
independent holdings undoubtcdly
contributes to the prosperity of tho
country and The happiness Of tho poo

ACCORDING to figures published BY
tho Commercial ana ETu0ncjul
Chronicle the cotton crop Of tho sea-
son 1928 will be thc greatest ever
yet produced in the South. IT is os<i-
mated at 100000 l,alcf, which is
more than 100000 bales la,'gc,> than
the crop of last year and half a million
larger than that OF 1SS0-S1, the largest
hitherto recorded. The present crop,
while thirty per cent. larger than that
OF the preceding season, is produced
from an acreage SO per cent. lese; the
plant of 1928 being 5000 acres
aWlthstof 1882 being 1851 900.
This great difference in yield is at
tributcd TO the fact that tho season Of
tributcd to the fact that the season of
lSSl-S2 was exceptionally disastrous

was unusually favorable. The rChron.

crop just p'antcd-that is, tho crop of
lSS3-Sl-is II $4,000 acres, which is
the largest ever yet reported. This
indicates that the rapid extension of

the crop of next season may turn out
to be considerably greater than the
now unprecedented yield Of this year.

III DEPENDS ON THE BAIT

Eels is bitin' very good this winter"
observed a Newtown man to the Eagles
cashier as he fshed around in his pocket
for marriage notice and paid the ex-
pense of insertion.
Catch many?" asked the cashier,
checking the notice..

and cut hole in the ice and dropped
the hook. In about a minute I knowed
I had bite and went for him. When
I'd got ten yards of him out began"
SCOT what ?" demanded the cashier.
"Ten yards of him. Ye see, T couldn't
tell how big he was goin' to be, so I just
pulled his head over my shoulder and
streaked for home, only mile. Then I
followed along back to the hole, and he
wasn't all out yet p
How big was he ?" asked the cash
ler, with round eyes and standing hair.
"Hold on till I tell ye. Then I takes
another grip on him and reaches for
home again, but that didn't seem to fetch
She whole Of him. Well, sir, 7. travelled
between the house and the hole all day
long, and when I got him out he made
a coil on my farm quarter of mile in

"What kind Of bait do you usually
'1se for that size Of eel 2" asked the CASH
Ter, sarcastically.
Whisky" replied the Newtown man.
II used three pints of whisky on that

A subscriber, referring to an article r
the Companion on American English.
published some time since, asks what is
to be substituted for eyes, sir,'' and
eyes, ma'am," if these are obsolete.
Plain Eyes" and "no" are at present
considered sufficient, and perfectly re-
spectful. If you desire to add "sir" OF
"ma'am," " in speaking to some person o]
great age, it is we'll enough to do so
but it is not the present usage Of fash
ionab]e society.
Mr.. Freeman, the historian, has beer
writing about us since his visit to this
country, and he apologies for the use
Of "sir" and "ma'am," which, as be
says, you never hear in good society II
England-but you sometimes do heal
in America. He says it is very ole
English fashion, obsolete sat home,
but still obtaining in America; as the
word *guess," which we find in use by
the older English writer's, is now every
where in England considered an Amer
icanism. In fact, to say Il guess" O,
to say fix" when you mean "arrange'
or *repair," is about equivalent to run

James nj. Lowry. Of the Milwaukee s.
st. Paul, is constructing snow plow
on new and novel plan, but which has
the appearance of the highest effective
ness. Judging from the model the gener-
al conformation of the plow does not
materially differ from those hitherto in
use; but in each mould board of the nav
invention is large disc, driven by
stationary engine located upon the plsw
car, which is provided with a number of
