A REVOLUTION IN AGRICULTURE7

When an attache of the agricultural department ex-
pressed the belief years that grain crops might
easily be doubled in their yield the farmers laughed
at him. When he demonstrated his theory later by
growing bushels of in Iowa where the farmers
had grown only bushel before the amusement of
the farmers turned to amazement. Now the whole
middle west stirred by astonishing results of is
called the Campbell system of soil culture"
No adequate description of this wonderful system of
agriculture yet the observation of The
Herald It seems marvellous. Notwithstanding the
results reported that unquestionabe evidence in sup
port of the claims will be necessary to carry convic-
ton detailed description of the method adopted in
the Campbell system together with facts and figures
bearing on practical results of it's application prom
ised at early day. 1t will be time enough to form
a mature opinion when all the testimony has been sub.
mtted.
An investigator of recognized repute says of the
new system: 81 the results of the work in eastern
Colorado and western Kansas The farmers using the
system are raising from thirty to forty bushels of
wheat to the acre while those using the irrigation sys
tenn are glad to get twelve to fifteen bushels"
He expresses the fullest confidence that the system
will solve the problem Of the semarid regions of the
and will make them the garden spots of America"
1t that "the system can be put into by any
intelligent farmer; there is nothing dHcut mysteri
about It," Hence the sanguine forecast that '1t
raises farming from uncertain hand-tomouth exist
ence to an investment solid government bond
proposition"
In these days of marvellous discoveries 1t is hardly
safe to laugh the promise OF any proposition no
matter how far astray may be from the line of
ognized knowledge Agriculture on the broader lines,
such grain farming has made little progress In
parison with scientific advancement in other fields
Farming equipment has been revoutionized in the
half century, but substantial gain has been in
the product of such standard crops and wheat

BRINGS BRIDE
FOR BRIEF VISIT
LOCAL MILLIONAIRE ON HIS
HONEYMOON
GROOM is RECENT DlvoRcEE
Denies Published Reports of His Tes-
tmony Relating to Amount Of
His Wealth, Given at
Trial In Texas

Nathan W. stowell, the Los Angeles
millionaire. who following decree of
divorce from Flora Rives Stowell mar
ried Miss Evelyn Wilkinson of Chicago
in that city last Tuesday, is at the
Van Nuys with his 22-year-old wife.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stowell arrived in Los
Angeles late Saturday night over the
Southern Pacific, and following week
or ten days here, while Mr.. Stowell IS
occupied with business affairs, the
couple will continue their journey to
the north, with Portland and the ex-
position as their goal.
The divorce which gave separation
to Stowell and his first wife was grant
ed in the Texas courts last April. The
published report that at that time, and
only month after selling the Stowell
block on Spring street for 100000, he
swore the valuation of the community
property to be $4,000 met with an en-
phatic refutation on Stowells part last
night.
''In the first place the settlement of
such question could not be taken up
by the Texas courts, but must be left
to those Of the state Of California"
he said. And, again, as some valua-
tion has to be placed upon the prop
erty. 1 swore that the community in
terest amounted to more than $4,000.
How much more is something that con-
Germs only the parties interested.
1.-THE settlement with my wife was
something like $150,000. Anything
farther than this I do not care to dis
cuss. The statements which have been
made in the newspapers have been so
utterly false, so entirely lacking in
truth, that they will not deceive any
one ,who knows either Mrs. Flora
Rives Stowel or myself"
Are you going to housekeeping here.
Mr.. Stowell, following your honey
moon?" he was asked.
"oh. no." he replied, you know I am
now living in Ell Paso.'

Great Service to the Nation

Los Angeles, June %. Editor Herald:
The Herald of this morning render
ed a service to the whole nation by Its
exposure of the great Chinese conspir-
acy, which if allowed to grow in mag
nitude will eventually imperil our ma

danger from Mongolian invasion and
the crisis may come at the end Of the
present war between Japan and Rus
sia. All we'll informed readers know
of the coalition between the japanese
and Chinese, who are one people, and
have a common hatred for the white
race. Jack Parkerson has done a
splendid journalistic task, and The
Herald deserves all the popular ap-
plause this great exposure will with
out doubt bring to 1t and it's very able
correspondent.
II you will keep up this great ma
tional work the whole American peo-
ple will thank you. Respectfully

THE VALUE OF THE MITE

One of the secrets-doubtless the cardinal one-of
the great financial Of John D. Rockefeller is his
knowledge of the accumulave value of the nfnesmal
He knows the worth of the mite and its power to grow
into a stupendous aggregate.
He early that the waste in the handling and
fning of petroleum vast fortune in itself. Grad
uay he secured control not only of the refining but Of
all the manufacturing Of the byproducts and he saved
enough on each one add millions to his income. Now
the final minimum of refuse from the crude petroleum
contains absolutely nothing of which human intelligence
create value The very bungs in the barrels where
in oil is shipped constructed and of such cheap
material that they prevent the waste Of drop of OIL
though at the lowest possible cost.
Andrew Carnegie has declared that the fraction of
cent per hundred weight in the price Of coal iron
in steel mill may represent the difference between
profit and bankruptcy 1t is trusm in every manufac-
tory that the welfare of the business depends upon skill
in checking or preventing minute wastes
Rockefeller and Carnegie the worlds most
cessful money makers. They have accumulated their
riches through their ability to utilize the mites, which
the vast majority waste.
1t is the sixty minutes which make the hour, and if
only five of them wasted onetwefth of the hour is
gone 1t is the 100 cents that make up the dollar and
if only five thrown away the dollar is onetwentieh
short Time and money saved by all who do
in small quantities. The man who puts by that one
twentieth of the dollar has the start for fortune
The who improves that one-twelfth of hour has
riches of time to his credit
Both Rockefeller and Carnegie started life poor
They realized the value of the mite and its
cumulative power. Neither idled; neither wasted
That is all there is to it. Take advantage of the odd
minutes the odd cents watch for the byproducts and
do not let either time or money go to waste
This the day of "big" things. Men count by dollars
and by hours. But each hour has sixty minutes; with
one gone it is incomplete. Each dollar has 100 cents
and it is no dollar without every of them. Never
mind the big" things; watch the cents and the min
ues and the rest will take of itself.
