NOTES AND COMMENT.

UverCTOWded Japan turns eager eyes
toward the vast unpcop,ed territory Of
north Australia. Though English Off
GERS predict that trouble would follow
japanese colonization in the great is
land, it is probable that one of the
greatest eXOduses Of the age will short
ly set in from Japan To the north Aus
tralian coast. The old world peoples
must have room, and they will follow
the precedents Of all history by taking
1t wherever it lies cnc2.
Tne recent sCnoOl census or Cmcago
is interesting to the public at large in
somuch as it shows the nativity of the

were born in America of American
parents. Some 100000 were born in
this country of foreign parents, and
nearly the same number are foreign
born. Germans number 1913, 4ST; Irish,
05,676; swedes, 53,122; Poles, 42,625;

is sweeping but it is not far from the
truth When the print Of a textbook

The large apple crop this season is
giving employment to great many
idle men in the country, notes the
American Oultivator. It always makes
good times in fruit-growing region
when the apple crop is good one.
AS an old farmer who had made most
of his money by growing grain once
said: "When get q good apple crop
and sell it the money it brings always
seems as if l had been made present
OF it." This is hardly SO now, for be-
sides the cost of gathering the fruit
and marketing it, there are few places
where fine apples can now be grown
without spraying to destroy insects
and fungus diseases on leaf and fruit.
But even with this extra expense the
apple crop costs less to produce it
than any other, and the profit on it
in O year when the crop is good Is
greater than on any other crop,
There will be good many farm mort
cages reduced this year from apples,
besides which the apple money will
generally pay the store and black
smiths bills and the hired help. If
farmers more generally used their
apple-made profits to grow more
apples, they would make money faster
than they usually do. 1t is a good
rule to put money in the business
that makes most money for yon.
