WONDERFUL YIELD OF WELL
TITLED SOIL.

As to what the soil may be made to pro-
duce under the most enlightened, progres-
sVe. and scientific methods, we have some
interesting facts and figures presented in
the work Fields, Factories, and Work
shops by Prince krapotkin, the Russian
economist The statements In this work
are based chiefly on the results of inton-
SiNe agriculture in parts of France, ltaiy
and Belgium, and the islands of the Eng
that under these methods the soil OF Bel
GUM supplies with home grown food no
less than 400 inhabitants per square mile
with a large overplus for export not
less than S5,0O000O worth of agricultural
produce being sent to Great Britain every
year. At this rate of production New York
State alone would supply food for over
y, 0O0,W0 people and have a large surplus
for export. and from the soil of Texas
sufficient could be produced to sustain a
populati nearly double that OF the
United States
Numerous instances are cited In this
volume where eighteen tons OF hay have
been gathered from a single acre, and
others where the same area has been made
to yield from 800 to 200 bushels of pot
toes, these crops being from six to ten
times Az large AS the average yield of
American farms. Still more astonishing
are the results attained under glass house
culture, so extensively followed In Belgium
and the Isle Of Jersey. one crop succeed
ing another there the year around BY
this method one area Of thirteen acres in
Jersey is cited where the money returns
obtained in a year were declared to be
equivalent to what ordinary farmer
would obtain from 1900 acres of land -

to be beyond peradyenture. and Gen Nc
