DEFECTIVE EYESlG
Mark L. WiIdes Offers Some Timely
Suggestions.


Suggestions.
The Free Press is in receipt of the
following communications:
''In late issue of The Free Press
| noticed an article about defective
cyesight, and in that matter submit the
following: L have theory founded
largely upon observation, that having
a healthy heredity to start with, inn
perfect eyesight is mainly caused in
most instances by the lack of proper
training, cultivation and use of the see
ing faculty during childhood and youth,
the developing period of life.
Short sight, and other imperfections,
may be inherited. As a curative of ma
tural short sight, and to develop, inn
prove and strengthen naturally healthy
conditions of the child eye, judicious
signt must be persevered in during
childhood and youth. Should degenerate

life, they may be somewhat mitigated
later by suitably fitting glasses.
''The hand is taught to do, the eye
should be taught to see. If the child eye
had the necessary instruction, there
would be small need of glasses. The
children of today, more especially those
in the large towns and cities, spend a
large part of their time in the school
room, and for part of that time,
the book on the desk limits the range
of vision For another considerable part
of their time the width of the street
is the limit To counteract resultant
evils, their eyes should be often given
wider scope.
Seventy years ago younger per-
sons were very scarcely seen wearing
glasses, and when seen it was said
that they wore them more for orna-
ment than use-the same as earrings.
Today we see great numbers of chill
dren and young people wearing specta-
cles. In one of the papers this week
this question appears: why do so many
young people have to wear glasses? p
Out OF fifty seven pupils in one room,
nine wear glasses, and there are others
that ought to.
"These facts cause one to ask. Is de-
fective eyesight an evidence of degen-
eracy? Is the race suiciding the eye
sight; or rather is it giving confrma-
ton to the Scripture, Having eyes they
see not without glasses)?
Inmate eyesight can be injured, de-
stroyed. 1t can be improved, perfect

Good Prospects for Wheat.

With GSO,OOO.O0 bushels of wheat
in prospect. according to careful. un.
biased estimates received from all tho
principal grain states. nature has given
n bond that prosperity will remain
with the American farmer for another
year.
So optimistic are the reports from
most OF the states that conservative
calculator might be warranted In add
ing ten millions to fifteen millions
bushels to this estimate. Even then
he will be about 25.O0O.000 bushels
short OF the total suggested by the gov
ernment report on the May list condi.
ton.
Estimates from fourteen of the lead
ing winter wheat states. which furnish
nearly eiShty-five per cent. OF the total
grain sown in the autumn, are that
these states will raise an aggregate
Of 34S,OOO,OO0 bushels this year as
compared with 97.696.656. the official
government total accorded to these
states q year ago, and 355, 1866 In
1908.
These reports all come from state
capitals where the boards Of agricui-
ture are located. and most of them are
semi official. While no definite reports
are at hand for the other agricultural
states raising wheat, the government
showing for May list indicated total
of 64.O29.0OO bushels for these states.
1t Is expected that In Its June 1st
report, which will be issued next Sat
urday, the government will make even
a better exhibit for the states of lesser
rank in wheat production. but granting
that the net result will remain about
the same. the showing for the winter
wheat in all the states will aggregate
something like All 100000 bushels, dis.
tributed as follows:
