The census bureau yesterday an
nounced that In the 10 years COW
cred by the census period the farms
of the United States had increased
more than a million. the number
heing now 5,I39657. This sigui-
f<s an increase In number of more
than 20 per cent. The In
crease In acreage Is more signi6-
cant, being about IS per cent. The
value of farm products for The cen
sus year showed an increase still
more marked, the difference being
nearly 60 per cent. greater than
that for the corresponding year OF
the proceeding census.
Agriculture cannot easily decline
In the United States. The vast pop
ulation which must be fed and the
enormous demand made upon
Americas agricultural resources by
the old world compel the farmer to
constantly widen his horizon. In
creased standards of living make
additional requisition upon the
farm for comforts as well as neces-
stiles of life. The man who was
content with the simplest table
has found 1t possible to eat
not only the products of his
own neighborhood, but of every
other section of the country, and
with the means to satisfy his ap-
petite he draws upon the farm and
garden for an innumerable variety
of things that few years ago would
have been impossibilities. The
farmer has wider range In the d.
versi6ed demand, as we'll as in the
increase of population and the
broadening foreign markets
Agriculture Is expanding with
the other pursuits and will contisue
to occupy a growing field until
radical changes have taken place in
providing for the larders of the
world But beyond all of that the
far Is the base of subsistence for
the human race, and 1t cannot be
ignored No matter what straits
agriculture may fnd itself falling
into, 1t cannot permanently decline.
because the race gets Its living
from the farm.

The following poetic-prose COM
bination from an unknown source,
will be read with interest by many
people:
"St. Peter sits at the Heavenly
gates. his hands on the strings of
the Tyre, and he sings low song
as he patiently waits for the souls
of those who expire. He hears in
the distance a chorus of song that
swells from the foot of the heaven
ly throne; and he smiles as the mt
sic Is waited along, and he warbles
a lay of his own: "There Is room
In this region for millions of souls,
who through sorrow and woe were
bereft; tbs for those who have suf-
fered the melody rolls. bat the
kickers must turn to the left.
There Is room for the people, who,
when they were young, persisted In
sowing wild oats, yet doomed up
their town with sinew and tongue,
bat the kicker must go to the
goats. There's room for the PEG.
pie that pointed with pride, to the
beauty and growth of their town;
who kept singing Its praises loud
'till they died, bat kickers viii
please amble down. They'd say
that the music was all out of tune,
and the angelic gown "hand-me-
down." and they would send to the
Ijeweler In the moon to sample the
gold In their crown. So while
there Is room for millions of souls,
who through sorrow and wee were
bereft. we want no complaint of the
music that rolls, so the kickers
must turn to the left"
