As to New states.

Some people are under the impress
sion that when the territories of Okla
homa Indian Territory, New Mexico,
and Arizona are admitted as states
will be no more new states, unless
some of '.our island possessions are
admitted. But there may be several
additions to the galaxy of states with
out annexing any new land or calling
upon the islands of the seas to fur
nish them. The treaty through which
Texas was added to the United States
provides that four states may be cary
ed from il at the pleasure of the Lone
Star" state. Then, the announcement
is made that the northern peninsula of
Michigan is contemplating separa-
ton from the southern peninsula and
making an application for admission
as an independent state.
The agitation of the division of
Michigan was initiated in Marquette
county, where the candidates for the
legislature are pledged to the advo-
cacy of such separation of the upper
tue Ill
mere size the upper peninsula of
Michigan compares favorably with
many eastern stateS-its area of 16, 500
square miles, giving it standing be-
fore Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
Vermont, New Jersey, Connecticut,
Rhode Island, Delaware and Maryland.
Its population is not dense, to be sure,
but it contains all the iron and copper
ranges of Michigan, so that the propos-
ed state would be rich in mineral re-
sOurces-a consideration which will
doubtless stand in the way of its adj
mission for many years to come.
There are opportunities also for
carving new states out of other states
California. for instance-where the
territory is large and divergent inter-
ests of different localities causes fric-
ton that is difficult if not impossible

The price of silver is higher now
than it has been before since 1896.
The question is under discussion.
Why is this so? The answer is SIM

FARM STATS TICS Put
ON BUSINESS BASIS
ASSISTANT AT FARM SCHOOL
ISSUES VALUABLE TREATISE.
Edward Q. Parker, After Years Of
Practical Experience, Writes Bulletin
Which Is Issued by Department Of
Agriculture Subject Treated In Way
to Be of Great Benefit to Farmers.

The most interesting and original
document ever issued by the depart
ment Of agriculture will make its ap-
pearance on Monday next. It will
bear the endorsement of Secretary
Wilson, head Of the department, Victor
f. Olmsted, chief clerk Of the bureau
OF statistics, and of Willett M. Hays,
former Minneapolitan, now assistant
secretary Of agriculture. 1t will deal
with the cost Of producing farm crops,
will represent Investigations never be.
fore made in the history of the country.
and will afford basic material for stu
dents, economic writer's and agricultur-
| lists for years to come.
The publication of this bulletin will
reflect additional credit upon the al
ready noted Minnesota experiment sta
ton at st. Anthony Park, for it is
from this station principally that the
Investigations have been carried on.
| Edward G. Parker, assistant at the
farm, has devoted months to the accu-
mutation of the statistics and spent
thus summer and last on the farms of
Minnesota and the northwest in pur-
suance Of the work.
! Farming as a Business. s
-. The bulletin takes up farming as a
business. It deals with systematic
farm management. Crop rotation and
farm operation are covered The cost
OF producing an acre of wheat, fax,
corn, barley, millet, hay, oats, or other
grains or root crops has been calcu.
lated, with, reference. to changing con-
ditlons, differences Of soil and location,
and methods Of work. It is a fact that
no class Of industry is less able to
show by statistics the results obtained,
and to learn from comparative figures
the methods most advisable than
farming, and in all the agricultural
literature of the United States the
works bearing upon this phase of agri.
cultural economy are limited. The
work thns leads into a field not often
traversed by the agricultural investi-
gator and in most of it's chapters pre-
sents matter entirely new. -
| Two Typical Farms.
A typical 200-acre farm in south
eastern Minnesota is taken as the basis
for the work of replanning, which is
an important part of the bulletin, A
typical 2OO-acre farm in southwestern
| Minnesota is also taken. Both these
farms appear as arranged originally by
the owner, apparently without regard
tor. some of the essentials of econom-
lcal management, and these things. con
| sldered in advance and put into effect
appear in the replanning, the benefits
being clearly shown. -
1t is predicted by the few who have
seen the advance copies that the bulle-
tin will prove one Of the most valuable

While the council has not been can

who have been seen that the council
would be practically unanimous in de-
Gliding to destroy the building. A
movement in that direction would be
assisted by the council, but no alder
man is likely to take the initiative in
view of the opposition created by the
former attempt to make start for a
civic center and to beautify the en-.
trance to Minneapolis. Now that it is
impossible to obtain any revenue from
the building, and it is useless for mu-
nicipalI purposes, it may be that the
opposition has died away, but the al.
dermen would like to be sure Of 1t.
