Extracts from an interesting letter
from p. FL. Rynhard, of Starbuck.
Manitoba, Canada, gives an excellent
idea of the prosperity of those who
have gone from the United States to
Canada. He says:
Il bought, August 1908, $50 acres
OF land, paying $4,000 for It, We
threshed 2,973 bushels of wheat ana
between 300 and 1900 bushels of oats
and barley from 200 acres. But part
OF the wheat went down before filing
and was not harvested except for hay.
The crop was worth at threshing time

Immigration Insanity.

Alienists OF recognized authority In
New York say the recent report OF the
state lunacy commission does not In
dictate that the noise and methods OF
life In the metropolis are driving It's
population into madhouses. Since the
report was issued, showing q 20 per
cent. increase of insanity In this state
largely in New York city, there has
been much comment in various sections
upon the Misunderstanding conditions
OF the greater city. One physician IN
the western end OF the state has as
cribed the condition to flats and tene-
ments. A Boston alienist believes the
increase OF New York's insane to be
due to money madness and the noise
OF u trains" Doctor Spitzka says all
this talk is nonsense. While admit
ting that there are undoubtedly larg-
er number Of cases in insane asylums
than ever before, he says this Is due
to natural causes, the chief cause be-
ing the fact that New York city Is un-
fortunately the port Of entry for the
large part of the immigration to the
United States. IF some method could
be devised" he said. ito get the Euro
pean immigrants out into the country,
where they could get Gods fresh air
and have more favorable surroundings,
New York's list of insane cases would
materially diminish. There is not the
slightest fear that the people of New
York are going crazy. AS commune
ty we are just as sound mentally as
any people on earth, If we could ind

immigrants in the east side section.
There are 3O17 more cases in the IA
state insane asylums than can be prop
erly cared for. Last year there were
26,S61 commitments in the state, an
increase of 927 over the average for
the last ten years. A very large part
of this increase came from New York
city, and more than so per cent. OF the
commitments from the city were aliens.
There is now talk Of building two more

A PROSPEROUS STATE
Mr.. Coburn Makes That Statement
Regarding Kansas.
Farmers Have Paid on Mortgages,
bought More Land and
Have Large Deposits
In Banks.

Chicago, July 14.-Wllliam e. Curtis,
writing to the Record-Hearld from To-
peka, says:
+. d. Coburn, secretary OF the Kan
sas board of agriculture, knows more
about that state than any other cit
izen, and, what Is equally important,
Is able to tell 1t In an intelligent and
interesting manner. fie has been with
the Kansas farmer through the ups
and downs OF q quarter Of a century,
and is able to speak from experience
as we'll as observation.
kansas Is probably the most pros
porous state In the Union" said Mr..
Coburn in answer to my question. Il
have never known q people more pros
porous or in better spirits.
why? Because they have had a
succession of large crops Of wheat,
corn, oats and hay that have brought
good prices, their hogs and poultry
have been in great demand, while
their dairy products have grown enor-
nously in volume and value. In 1904
the total value of the farm products
Of Kansas was s2OS, 4O6,365, and II you
add the assessed valuation Of live
stock, 1t will bring the total up to near
ly 1910, 100000. Last year We had $751;
100000 worth of wheat, $51, 100000
worth of corn, s52,OOO,OO0 worth of
animals sold for slaughter, 100000
worth of hay, nearly sS,O0O,0OO worth
Of poultry and eggs were sold by our
farmers. 100000 worth of butter,
and so on.
From 1895 to 1899 we raised 199, $780,
222 bushels of wheat; from 1900 to 1904
we raised 3S1 ,5O4,953 bushels. The
wheat crop alone Of the past five years
paid our farmers more than $3.50, 000,-
600 and their other crops brought them
corresponding amount. That is the
reason why they are so contented.
What have they done with the
money!"
They paid Off their mortgages in
the first place. They have bought the
lands which adjoined their farms and
now have more than $40, 600. 900 in
the banks, most of it loaned to poor
devils down East"
What is the total amount of mort
cages paid off in Kansas during the
past FIVE or ten years?"
There is no record; nobody has ev-
er made compilation; although there
have been various estimates, more or
less accurate, which generally mount
up into the hundreds of millions. 1t
Is certain that the farmers have paid
very large sums and are practically
free from mortgages. The loan agents
complain that they are doing no BUSH
ness. The only mortgages filed nova
DAYS cover notes given for the pur-
chase of additional land or improve
ments. No farmer with common sense
and ordinary energy need borrow
money to-day, except to increase the
size Of his farm, and the country
banks chiefly patronized by farmers
