ENGLISH LAND POLICY.

The land ownership of Great Britain
is class monopoly of the most damag-
ing and Objectionable character.
Twelve pesSons own 1,03o, So3 acres or
one thirty-seventh of the land IN Eng
land and Wales. One fifth of the area
of these two divisions of Great Britain IS
owned by 573 persons and two-thlrds by
10,207 persons.
In Scotland one man owns ,326, 900
acres. Another owns 424,0o0 and still
another 100000 acres. One-half OF
Scotland is claimed by seventy persons
and $50 individuals possess title to two
thirds Of it.
Such a state of affairs is unnatural,
and means should be devised by which
this practical ability of a few thousand
landlords to exclude as many millions
of their countrymen from every spot IN
the United Kingdom, except the high
ways, may be legally broken
up. The law of entail. by which land
descends to the Oldest son OF a
decedent. and the family pride of the

the statutes of descent providing for the
equal division of real estate among chill
dren or other heirs of the same degree.
as in the United States. would do some
thing in the way required. Rut even
then the tendency of great estates to
grow larger at the expense of small hold
ings would not be entirely checked. In
some states of the Union the number OF
farms is not increasing, and there are
sections where the number of Land own,
ers is falling off, showing that the par
titions resulting from plural helrshlp
are hardly able to keep pace with the alb
sorbing power of landlordism.
The most patriotic, conservative and
intelligent class of citizens in this coun
try are the farmers who live on then
farms and own the soil they cultivate
and their multiplication and encourage
ment ought to be the steady policy OF the
governments, state and national.

POSSIBLE, BUT NOT PROBABLE.

The San Francisco Chronicle is 10th to
give up its support of Blaine. 1t con-
tinues to discuss the probability of his
nomination, and is sanguine that after
the national convention shall have
amused itself for a time boy the balloting
of each state for its favorite son, the
hearts of the delegates will turn to their
old leader and his nomination be accom-
pllshed by d unanimous whoop of spon
taneouS enthusiasm. 1t cites the action
of the Republicans of Vermont in Civ
ing Mr.. Blaine their endorsement in
spite of the known hostility Of Senator
Edmonds as evidence of the drift of
events. and thinks that there is nothing
in Mr.. Blaine's letter of withdrawal that
would prevent his accepting nomina-
ton forced upon him by the demands of
party expectancy.
There is, however, little prospect that
such a program will be carried out, or
even attempted. Mr.. Blaine could have
been nominated if he had so desired, but
his declination TO enter the field pat him
definitely out of the race. His manly
letter of withdrawal undoubtedly meant
exactly what it said, and he will, beyond
reasonable question, be taken at his
word

NEW PRESS ASSOCIATION.

The editors along the line of the Mis-
souri, Pacific Colorado Short Line from
Geneseo to the west line OF the state met
in convention at McCracken on Friday
of last week for the purpose OF taking
initiatory steps toward the organization OF
an editorial association. The attendance
was not large, owing to the fact that the
subject of organization had been agltated
but a short time. A sufficient represen-
tation of the press was present, however,
to effect temporary organization and
make arrangements so that the body
could become permanently organized at
the next meeting which was fixed for
May 49, to be held at Leoti, Wichita
county. The territory embraced IN
the bounds of the new association
includes Greeley, Wichita, Scott, Lane,
Ness, Rush, Barton and Rice counties.
The name West Central Editorial Asso-
citation of Kansas was adopted, and its
object declared to be for the promotion
of mutual acquaintance, unity of action,
the upbuilding of the territory included
III the bounds of the association, to gain
better knowledge Of newspaper work
and to give opportunities to exchange
ideas as to the best methods of success
fully conducting the work.

success in the commemorate endeavOrs
for the accomplishing of which the

Hints to POTATO Growers

4 writer to the Kansas Farmer saws:
As the Irish potato is one of the essential
articles of food of nearly all of us, per
haps a few ideas gained from practical
experience would be useful to your read
ers. In regard to soil, fall plow if pos
sible. 1t more than pays in the increase
of crop and also turns up new earth that
by freezing and thawing pulverizes and
mixes the mineral and decomposed veg
etable matter. Again, it saves time
when the spring rush of work comes.
which often cuts a figure. SO to speak.
especially in the Irish potato crop. By
all means, if you desire the best results.
do not allow your seed potatoes to sprout
very much. as they are almost useless
for planting.
Towards the last of my plant
ing last season the pota-
toes were sproutIng very badly;
with this kind of seed we planted three
acres. The result was an almost entire
failure. To prevent this, overhaul them
as early as February /, or when the
sprouts first make their appearance.
This should be repeated every ten days
or two weeks until planted.
The temperature in Irish potato eel
lars should be kept as near the freezing
point as possible. The cooler it is kept
of course the less handlingo ON account OF
sprouts. / do not hesitate to say that
thousands of bushels are yearly ruined
on account Of the sun. at digging time
and the ignorance of the producer
especially the latter. In extreme hot
weather never leave them over two min
utes after they have been dug, as the
suns rays in July and August are fatal.
