The Growth Of Towns.

The recent United States census shows that
the towns have increased In population IN
greater ratio than have the rural districts
several reasons have combined TO bring about
this result.
Those farmers who were able. In many In.
stances, have moved their families to the
towns where they would not be SO much
Isolated, and where they would be less ex'
posed to possible danger.
Others may haYe come to town because OF
better school facilities to be had in the more
thidkly settled communities. sr. ISL. =
But the greatest movement from the farms
to the cities has been from that class OF white
persons who rent lands. The different manu-.
hcturing enterprises offer better reward for
their labor. sF &a ,&s ~.
The result Of the movement toward the
cities and the immigration of negroes to the
West, has had an injurious effect on the com-
mercial value OF farming lands. In some
townships the price Of farming land is not
now perhaps over half OF what u was ten
years ago. In other townships, however,, The
price Of land has more than doubled 81.
Good farming land can be bought almost
within q stones throw Of the corporate limits
of the town, for a trife, Will the same saualt-s
jtty of land at aidistance. has almost n9
market cash value. s tsssiil : "a Il. .{s

TOBACCO MEN
Interested in Result of Experiments
In Production Of sumatra Leaf Con-
fined to Two States,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-The publi-
cation of the successful results OF the
experiments conducted by the division
ofsoils OF the United States department
of agriculture IN cooperation with the
Connecticut experiment station in the
production of sumatra tobacco near
Hartford, and the subsequent sale of
the crop to Kansas City firm, has
caused widespread interest in the ex-
periments among tobacco men. Num-
erous communications on the subject
have been received by the department
and two suggestions made as to the
munner in which the tobacco should
have been disposed of. The first was,
that tobacco leaf grown by the govern
ment should not have been sold, but
should have been distributed In small
quantities to dealers In leaf tobacco ana
other interested persons. The other
was. that II it had to be sold 1t should
have been auctioned off at New York,
Philadelphia and other points so rs 10
give all leaf dealers an equal chance.
Property of Experiment Station.
In reply to these communications and
suggestions Professor Milton Whitney,
chief of the division Of soils, states that
the tobacco was grown by and was the
property Of the Connecticut tobacco
experiment company, which is virtually
