The Farm Question
In New York

The department of agriculture has
completed an interesting work in in
vestigating the farm question of New
York state. 1t presents some start
ling figures for thu consideration of
financiers and students of political
economy. According to the reports,
made by special agents, there are
more than 1900 abandoned farms in
that state. They include combined
area of 1900, 900 acres, which, un-
der the ordinary methods of soil cul-
tivation, is capable of supporting a
population of 250,OO0 people. 1t is
estimated that the land values of the
state have decreased $40, 900, 900 in
the past ten years. In some in
stances the values have dropped 80
per cent since the boom in agricul-
ture in the early '8Os.

THE u. S. REVENUE
CUTTER SERVICE
sequent to Establishment of
Federal Government.

COR quite a number of years Fri
day Harbor has been sub
station of the United States Revenue
Cutter Service, which was estab.
lished 1O7 years ago tomorrow, hav-
ing its inception in an act of the first
congress approved by President
Washington on the 4th of August,
1890. The act provided for the con-
struction and equipment of ten rev.
enue cutters, in accordance with the
recommendation of Alexander Ham
ilton, first secretary of the treasury.
These cutters and their crews con-
stituted the first maritime force or
ganized by this nation subsequent to
the establishment of the federal gov
ernment. For more than a century
the service has borne an important
part in national defense, having par
ticipated in most of the wars in which
the nation has been engaged.
In an appreciative communica tion
addressed to the Office RS and men of
the service, reviewing the work of
one hundred and seven years. Assist
ant Secretary Winthrop, of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor,
says:
"Throughout its history the Service has
faithfully and honorably performed the
many and varied duties that are incum-
bent upon it in time Of peace. The assist
ance of vessels in distress, the enforce
ment of the maritime laws, the removal
of distractions to navigation, the protect
ion of the seal and other fisheries in
Alaska, the enforcement Of the quaran-
tine laws, are duties that are ever present
and calling for constant attention, and the
Service NAV take pride in its method of
having measured up to all that was re-
quired of it in the performance of these
dutieS.''

it will be observed throughout the

manned to finish packing up and at
tend to various little business matters
They are both well satisfied with the
work done and are confident that the
reputation of the laboratory and its
location will be very greatly enhanced
by the visit of the many eastern edu-
Gators who recently spent a week
here. Tuesday the instructors and
students visited the salmon banks to
see the traps and Wednesday they
went to Bellingham to visit the
worlds greatest salmon cannery.
The sc ool during the four years of
existence has been the means of at
tracing the attention of many edu-
Gated people to our .ovely insular re-
pion and our people should do every
thing in their power to show their
appreciation of it and especially of
the work done by Prof. Kincaid and
DIR. Frye in the quiet, unassuming
way characteristic of them. TIE
ISLANDER trusts that their hope that
the station may in course OF time be-
come the most celebrated in America
and one of the most noted in the
world may be realized, and that, too,
before the lapse of very many years.
It would not require very great ex-
penditure of money to thoroughly
equip laboratory here for original
biological research that would attract
scientific Investigators from all parts
of the world. Prof. Kincaid pro-
nounces the location far superior to
anv on the Atlantic seaboard and also
or: atty superior in many respects to
the stations already established on
the California coast. At Lajolla, Cal. +,
near San Diego, the University of
California is spending large sums in
the erection and equipment Of per-
manent buildings. and yet the attrac-
tions of that locality are not nearly
so varied as they are here nor are
the waters so rich in the various
forms of marine life.
