Cutting Of Farms.

Governor Pardee of California in his
opening address to the irrigation con-
gress at Portland, cited the benefits to
states and lesser communities to come
from the gradual cutting up of western
farms to smaller acreage. He spoke
In illustration OF the once famous
Glenn farm in his own state, one of
10000 acres, of which three-fourths
was for fifty years cultivated to wheat
and supported only one family and
some 100 nomadic laborers. The big
tract gradually exhausted from con.
stant succession of wheat crops. 1t
was then brought under irrigation. cut
up into small farms and sold off. For
the years 1t remained intact there was
not school house on all the vast area.
Now there are 300 families living on
this land; there are two school houses
for the children of the farmers and a
large town community is supported by
land that once contributed nothing to
the general welfare.
AS the years go by the big farms OF
Colorado will be gradually cut up. The
present average Is about 100 acres to
the family; this will be reduced to
eighty before many years, and from
that the tendency will be toward more
intense cultivation, smaller farms and
more population. The beet raisers OF
to-day are already pointing the way
to this situation. Farmers as rule
plant only few acres of beets; they
require close handling. and there is
always danger that the labor supply
will be short at the critical time, so
the tendency is to seed only that acre
age which can be safely handled. The
beets pay from $40 to $50 an acre, and
the closer they are attended, the bet
ter cultivated. the larger the return.
so that It is not at all impossible for
twenty acres to pay better than forty.
From the twenty acres will come more
clear cash than the average farmers
family of the east handles during a
year.
The size of American farms has ever
been the marvel of old world tillers Of
the soil They have been unable to
understand how an American could
properly care for twenty and thirty
times the acreage they find sufficient
for single family. The smaller the
division the more 1t contributes to
the general welfare of the public, the
more people are supported and the
more trade made for the merchant.
the larger is the call for the articles of
manufacture. Fruit tracts are down to
from ten to fifteen-acre tracts in the
successful fruit belts of this state, the
beet Is forcing the reduction to the
same size in other sections. and so the
population will grow year by year,
even though there should be no in
crease in the area OF lands brought un-
der cultivation.-Denver Republican.

STILL BELIEVE WITcHcRAFT
In Most Prosaic Communities There
Are Many Who Show Conf
denea In Belief.

Every once in awhile comes testimony
10 a belief In witchcraft lingering in the
most prosaically modern communities,
says the Boston Transcript Among the
charges on which clergyman has been
expelled from the profession By court
Of the Evangelical Synod at vincennes,
ind, is that he possessed q book on
witchcraft." This charge IL grouped
with some which laymen win unhesa-
tatingly pronounce serious. The pos
session Of a book on witohcraft h not
usually considered unolerical, and the
suggestion Is that the synod must either
have held the dismissed clergyman
something Of an adept, or have regard
cd the work as dangerous 70 the com-
munity. II the latter explanation ls
the correct one. then the extent Of 81
perstition. in and around Yincennea,
Ind, must be surprising and afford
very fruitful ground for the seeds Of
