WHERE FARMERS INSTITUTES HELP.

The productive capacity Of an
J acre Of land has never been FULLY
sounded. More than ten times the
general average Of staple crops has
been made on one acre. If one acre
can be made TO yield more than
ten times the average, is it not
! time TO make still other acres pro-
duce thus? Ii has been proven
that an acre can be made 10 pro-
duce more than 200 bushels of
corn. At that rate ten acres would
produce more than 1000 bushels.
lis this not better than 10 make the
same amount on l25 acres? Far.
mers complain that their farms
are too smsll-they have not land
enough. If they can grow ten
times as much on what they have
why buy more land? They
can do it. Some farmers have
done it, and others can do the
same. But it requires knowledge
as well as labor. Therefore 1t is
lack Of knowledge of how to do it
that prevents il being done. -

AGAINST MONROE DOCTRINE.
Wattersom Tells What He Would Do.
Rrttnsu'e Future


Binghamton, N. Y, Feb. 15.-Colonel
Henry Watterson lectured in this city
last night. Following the lecture din
ner was rendered him by the Bingham
ton Press club, which was attended by
many of the prominent men of the city.
In his after dinner speech Colonel Wat
terson, speaking of current history, said
in part:
Fifty years from to-day Germany
will bear the same relative position to
the United States that Holland does
now. Fifty years from to-day, unless
the United States places sustaining
hands under John Bulls arms God only
knows what will become of him.
'"rhe Monroe doctrine or republican,
ism are no longer on trial, it Is mon-
archy that is in danger. The president
of the United States to-day has tenfold
more power than the king of England
and the emperor of Germany.
TT accordingly may be we'll for US to
sit down and see what the Monroe doc
trine is. We have said that no Euro
pean power shall acquire territory on
this continent.
IF we are going to protect every lit
tie mongrel nation in order to uphold
the Monroe doctrine, why, let us pay
Germany her debts and tell her to get
out. But If we start on this course, we
will need an enlarged navy and large
army.
