4 Farm of One Acre

At Orland, California, Samuel C. Cleek farmed for twenty-seven years on only one acre of irrigated land. He supported wife, just before dying bought three acres, and left to his wife $iO0O in bank. IL is claimed that Mir. Cleek grew upon his farm a greater variety of crops than were producted from single other acre in America. The remarkable fact that stands. out clearly in the life of this man who lived in land grabbing age is the complete success achieved upon this tiny farm by the aid of irrigation water. In Japan an acre is considered large farm, but in this Western country We are too

RACE SUICIDE in TURKEY.
Families Becoming Small to Such a
Degree as to Alarm Gov
eminent.

Turkey it seems is also confronted
with the problem OF race suicide. This
is the more remarkable in Turkey be-
cause the prophet Mahomet made pro-
visions which he thought would prevent
such a state OF affairs. The rule among
the Turks SO years ago was to marry
young, every man to have several wives,
and each to rear a large family.
But all this is changed. The Turk
nowadays does not marry until late and
then he usually has bug one wife, and the
families are becoming small to such q
degree as to alarm the government.
The 9ultan is trying to remedy this
matter. He is afraid his empire will be
depopulated. So he has Just recently is
sued an trade on the subject by which
he abolishes a great deal of the ex-
pensive display connected with Turkish
marriages. He probably hopes in this
way to make marriage easier and less
expensive and so encourage the Turks
to marry earlier and perhaps oftener.
