No other government in the world
attempts to give its people such fire.
quent and detailed information about
crops as the United States furnishes
to the farmers Of the country In it's
monthly crop reports; nor is there any
other country which could furnish re-
ports 80 diversified and, from the point
Of view Of all the people, 90 hopeful.
Size is in itself often, perhaps usually,
an element Of strength. This is as
true of country as of an individual;
but the strength of the United States
lies more In differences of soil and va
riety Of climate than In mere extent
of territory. These differences mean
diversified products fact which the
crop reports bring out at glance-and
therefore reduced liability of wide
spread suffering through local crop
failures. If there is a country on the
face of the earth where famine IL
absolutely impossible, this is it. In
ordinary times we raise not merely the
food we ourselves need, but a large
share also of what Europe eats. Our
ration is not confined to one or two
things, but consists of wheat, both
winter and spring; corn, oats, rye, bar
ley, rice, potatoes, and many kinds Of
fruit; beef, mutton, poultry, pork, milk,
butter and eggs. Meteorological condi-
tons which should blight or destroy
more than a small part Of this great
food supply are almost uncomfortable.
At least they are unheard Of. And
there remain those other great crops
cotton and nay, which, although they
do not in themselves furnish food to
man, yet indirectly put food into the
mouths of millions. Sections may sui
fer as New England has suffered from
drought and some parts Of the West
from food; but these are, after all
but little patches on the great agr4cul
tural map. The country as a whole
moves prosperously on from year tt
wear.

Once every year--at Thanksgiving
time some one Is sure to remark that
the turkey, not the eagle, Is the great
American bird. Professor Thompson
OF the United States Agricultural De-
partment thinks It Is neither the tur-
key nor the eagle, but the hen. He
has been associating much with hens
Of late, and has been 30 impressed
with their industry, energy, persistence
and strict attention to business that he
has written a pamphlet on the subject.
The American hen, says Professor
Thompson, produces more, In dollars
and cents, than all the gold and silver
mines OF the country combined; and, If
the value OF the hens be added, the
aggregate Is twice the annual yield OF
all the gold and silver mines, and six
times the value of the wool crop. The
crop Of the hen, then--but that is q
mere Quibble. No person who desires

1908, ended June 30, the number had

The limitation Of offspring when pa

question for the parents to determine
themselves. Peer people in our over
crowded cities who allow themselves
the luxury Of six or eight children
when they know their income is not
sufficient to properly feed, ,clothe and
shelter them are positively cruel. The
ambition Of man Of small means
should be to rear two children, in
stead of ten, as heretofore, and give
his children an opportunity to taste a
few of the good things Of life. Let
the rich have large families. They
ought to have them, for they have the
means t. provide for them. President
Roosevelt can well afford to advocate q
multitudinous household, for he gets a
salary of $4,000 a year besides the
income from an independent fortune
We wonder how he would enjoy his
own advice If he had dozen children
and was getting So day. Circum

1t is not common for one government

another, but protest against high
crimes can be lodged In an effective
