Farming Here and I'm Europe.

Cleveland Leader.
Now delegation of German farmers is
coming to the United States for the pur-
pose of learning the secret Of the success
of the American people. Doubtless these
farmers will be entertained and instructed
as were the English workingmen who have
just completed a tour of inspection of
the principal industrial centers of the
United States.
But it seems improbable that the farm
ers of the United States will be able to
teach the farmers of Germany anything
about the tilling of the soil. The agricul-
tural resources of the United States are
truly wonderful, but nowhere in this coun-
try, perhaps, has farming been reduced
to the exact science that 1t is in Germany,
France and some other European coun-
tries. where the productiveness Of the soil
appears to have been crowded to the limit.
Statistics concerning German agricul-
ture are not at hand, but figures showing
the yield of crops In France are available.
In that country there are something like
100000 acres of land under cultivation.
The products of that land in single year
were valued at $780, 10000. average of
about $40 per acre. According to the GEN.
sus OF 1890 there were In this country $685.
O00, 600 acres under cultivation and the value
of the farm products that year were s.. $780,
10000, or less than 81 an acre. In France
the average yield of wheat per acre Is over
nineteen bushels. In this country the av-
erage yield is about thirteen bushels. In
Germany the farmers have learned how to
make the soil produce well as the peas
ants in France have learned ii.
OF course the American farmers could
teach the Germans how to use labor-saving
machinery, and they could moreover show
them how farming Is done on large scale,
and If, in turn, the visitors tell the Ameri-
can tillers of the sell how to utilize all the
land which now lies waste in their fields,
and how to bring the production UP to the
limit that has been reached in European
countries, there will be a fair exchange of
knowledge and nobody could object to that.

Scientific American.
To the Fastener, used to his garden bed
of peas few feet square, the idea of grow
ing this product in beds of $500 acres and
of harvesting and threshing peas like so
much wheat, is a revelation. The West
just now holds In store many such agri-
cultural surprises for those from dis
tance.
In Longmont. Col, the land is prepared
for peas just as 1t is for wheat The reg
ular wheat drills are used in sowing peas
Two rows OF peas are Sowed ana tnen
space equal to that occupied by two rows
Is skipped, thus leaving twenty-one inches
between the double rows for cultivation
and irrigation purposes. When the pea
vines become large enough to cultivate,
corn cultivator is used in throwing earth
up to them; when five to six inches in
height furrow is made between the rows
for water brought to the head OF the rows
in the highest part of the field by broad
ditch.
AT the harvesting of peas all are moved
down by cutter, which runs just beneath
the ground. Then the hayracks arrive, and
great loads of peas on the vines are hauled
to the nearby canning factory and are
ready for the threshing operation. The
threshing is done by means of machines
constructed especially for this purpose.
When the peas have been shelled by
means of these machines, they next are
put through grading machines which sort
cans is accomplished by means of machin-
cry. Each machine fills twelve cans at one
time. At the factory at Longmont 10000
cans are filed I'm a day.
Longmont boasts, further, OF the largest
asparagus bed in the world. This bed COM
priseS 120 acres and contains three-fourths
of million plants. The rows are about
six feet apart, and the plants are twelve to
fifteen inches apart in the rows. The de-
mand for asparagus to-day Is greater than
| the supply.
One more agricultural novelty in Colorado
is an eighty-acre currant patch. As far
| as is known this is the largest currant
| patch extant. 1t is situated, like the as
paragus bed, at Longmont. In this cur
rant patch there are $4,000 plants set out
in rows seven feet apart. The plants are
| three and one-half feet apart in the rows.
One hundred and fifty hands, old and
| young, are employed at picking time. One
and one-fourth cents per pound is paid for
| picking, which enables expert pickers to
make as high as $3.50 per day. A currant
| bush in Colorado will produce at least a
| gallon of currants Some produce ten gal
| Ions. Owing to irrigation, Ii is claimed
| that the berries are superior in flavor to
those grown under other conditions.

Grated Chestnuts.
Country Gentleman.

Country Gentleman.
A crate of the grated product Of Mary
land with a French chestnut tree was re-
ceived in Milwaukee last week, says the
Sentinel. These are the first nuts from
grated trees that have reached this mar
ket. and their size astonished the commits
sion men who have dealt extensively in
chestnuts for years. The nuts came in the
bur, which is as large round as two fists,
while the nuts are a trif1e more than an
inch in diameter, or larger than the i'm
ported nut. For several years the expert
mept of grating the American with the
foreign chestnut tree has been tried. and
the crop this year gives evidence of its
success. The result will within few years
mean large decrease in the importation
of the nuts, sufficient quantities will
then be supplied from American soil. A
bushel of the nuts exhibited by the firm
show that they are all large. of uniform
size and well developed in the kernel.

NUMBER OF ARRESTS.
Jennings was then questioned regarding

on charge OF trying to kill Lawyer Ell

He said he began preparing matter fol

early in January of 1900. The press work
was completed about Jan. rs or %. He

He claimed the only assault made was or

marked that nobody knew better than the

His libellous attack against the
Hawaiians is not surprising to us,
for we know the man, OF all and his
antipathy for our race is known. His
statements, which we publish else
where in this issue, are not only
malicious; they are down right lies,
with the exception OF the opening
sentence. The INDEPENDENT heartily
endorses Prof. Brigham when he
says that annexation has left US in
a most deplorable condition, and as
result we are beggared as COM

ANOTHER CHAMPION L1BELLEB

Our dear and eminent friend Pro-

like dog bites the hand who feeds
and supports him.

As to the statement that not 10
per cent OF the natives are free from
constitutional diseases the less said
about it the better will it be for
Professor Brigham aud his friends.
Those loathsome diseases to which
be undoubtedly refers were un.
known until the advent OF the
whites in these islands, and have ap-
psared since in the wake OF American
ism and the American soldiers. The
same may be said Of the Philippine
Islands to-day. AS their name indi-
oates, constitutional diseases follow
with theconstitution in the wake OF
the flag wherever it goes, as a demon
stration OF American civilization and
Christianity.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1902-06-04

One thing in the above elucubra-
tion we must admit: The natives
ars incapable OF carrying a govern
ment along business lines accord
ing to American methods. They
are too honest for that. They had
never heard OF Doodle or bribery or
other evils going along with Ameri-
can politics until the great Amerio.
ans arrived hero and stole their
country from them.
