A total crop failure in the United
States is a practical impossibility.
Some sections may have failures, or
partial failures, but there has never
been a time when all sections reported
famine years. More. there has never
been a year that the United States was
not self-supporting, and in recent
years, with more scientific methods in
common use, we have become known
as the granary of the world.
Agricultural products go from the
United States to nearly all nations.
We ship wheat and corn and rye and
barley and potatoes and nearly every
other staple crop by millions of bush.
els, and yet there is more than enough
left to feed the multitudes at home.
Nor have the agricultural possibilities
OF the United States been exhausted.
The story has not half been told.
The construction of national irriga-
tion works in the west will make mil.
lions of acres of arid land productive.
That means more wheat, more corn,
more staples of every character to feed
the hungry of this and other lands. In
the south are thousands of acres of

THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE.

The states and territories of the
purchase produced 264, 900. 900 bushels
of wheat in 1900. valued at 1852. 600 900
more than half of the wheat crop of
the whole United States; 1913, 000, 900
bushels of corn, or As per cen of the
country's product; 3S per cent of the
country's oats. The wheat, corn, oats,
rye, barley, cotton, hay and potatoes
produced in this region in 1900 brought
1855, 100000, and it's farm animals were
valued at $685. 200. 900, 3S per zen OF
those of the whole country, says
Charles NJ. Harvey IL the Worlds

From that celebrated pioneer expert
ment in wheat growing by Oliver Dali
rymple, a wealthy Minnesota farmer,
in the territory of Dakota in 1876,
quickly came magnificent results. In
1902 North Dakota stood second in the
list of wheat producing states and Min.
nesota first. These with Missouri,
South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas,
all in the Louisiana Purchase, led all
the rest of the country last year in
wheat growing. Much more than half
of the country's $1,000 900 bushels
grown in 1902, valued at s422 ,000)

ferson tract.
And the story of corn is similar. ILL
nois stood first in corr yield in 1902,
as in most years. The four Louisiana
states of Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska and
Kansas led all the rest of the coun-
try. More than half the country's corr
crop valued at $1.O17, 900 900, was pro-
duced in the territory of the Purchase.
Iowa vas second in 1902 in the produc-
ton of oats. Illinois being first. An.
other Louisiana state. Minnesota, was
second that year in barley production,
California leading. Iowa was second
in hay. New York heading the list.
Two-thirds Of the country's 1876, 800
tons yield of beet sugar for 1902 was
grown by the territory west of the
Mississippi. Texas. a region which be-
longed to Louisiana at the time Bona
parte transferred the province to the
United States in 1903. but our claim
on which was given up to Spain by
President Monroe in 1919 as part of
the price which We paid for Florida,
and which we did not recover until
Folks days in 1S45, produces almost a
third of the entire country's cotton.
Texas, however, is not included in
Louisiana in any of the figures give

SLAVERY OF

From time to time since the United
States obtained possession of the isl.
and of Mindanao there have been Wig.
orous protests against the slavery
which prevails there. Men and women,
says an Iowa paper, have declared that
our free institutions have been out.
ragged by the failure of American au-
thorities to stamp out the obnoxious
custom Immediately and with each
passing year their outcries have been
more bitter. Even now, when peace is
virtually established with the natives,
there is no sign that the officers repre-
senting the United States have adopt.
ed any plan for the early abolition of
traffic in human beings as chattels.
But II those who make complaint of
the attitude of the authorities were
to seek the cause of their delay they
would not have far to go to find il.
Necessity, not choice, has dictated the
course of the men charged with the
duty of pacifying the people of our
new possession. This is reflected in
the various reports of the progress Of
securing the allegiance of the Moros
towns: wherever the officers go they
find hat peace is assured until the
United States shall make an attempt
to abolish slavery. The natives insist
that there must be no interference
with that custom or there will be end
less war and bloodshed.
1t is true that once before the United
States was confronted with the alter
native of not molesting slavery or wal
and it ultimately chose the latter, but
is it wise at this time to make the
same choice in Mindanao? In the opin.
ion of those who have studied condi.
tons there il would be far better 10

accomplish by peaceful means the re-

The claim that Paine's Celery Com

fully borne out by the strong and con-

Southern newspapers are outlying

the bureau rendered service in giving
warnings of frost, worth millions of
dollars to the sugar growers, say these
editors, but in the recent disastrous
Hoods the timely warnings actually
minimized the injury done.
