Washington, July 26.-That there will be little

bushel this fall. is the prediction of George c.
Howe. OF Duluth. Mimi. one of the largest wheat
growers of the great Northwest Mr.. Howe Is in
he East on business, and outlined the crop con-
ditions Mt the Shoreham Hotel tonight He said:
In Minnesota the crop is probably two-thirds
what II usually is. and the same conditions pre-
vail in North and South Dakota. The backward
spring held crops up, and after they got started
they were injured in many places by excessive
rains, In Yet other sections there was short
age of rain. and this condition has done the most
damage during the season of maturing Of crops
Kansas will this year make not more than
Go,0ooo00 bushels, which is about three-fourths
of the usual output. These the vital states
when il comes to the production of wheat. and !
feel assured from present conditions. that the
price will be not less than 81 % in the autumn.
The foreign demand is strong and has a
denCy TO advance prices. The output Of Ar
gentina is not yet known. and the crop in South
America will exert a strong influence the
market and be Of much importance in connec-
tion with the years output. II cannot. under

soil It grows luxuriantly in South
ern Florida below the frost line. In
Egypt, according to Won Mueller, it
has yielded 1000 pounds Of dried
peas to the acre.
"Without going too much into de-
tails as to it's virtues, the following
points in It's favor place it in the front
rank of valuable tropical plants
Goats and other animals are fond of
the fodder Chickens and pigeons eat
the seeds which escape the harvester.
1t conserves nitrogen as do other le-
gumes. It deposits rich litter upon
the surface of the soil It does not
climb over and smother orchard trees
as do velvet beans 1t shades the soil
and keeps down weeds According to
VonMue11er, silk worms are fond Of
it.
In consideration of all these quail
ties, it can be safely recommended
for planting in orange and other fruit
groves in the tropics, where nitro
gen and humus are sorely needed af-
ter the land has been for some time
under cultivation. The fact that it
yields a valuable fodder and pea is
merely secondary to the great good
accomplished in enriching and shad-
ing the soil and keeping down
weeds" John Clifford.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1907-01-09

I was impressed, in the replies of
those who are to leave the farm, with
the emphasis placed on lack of money,
hard work, and small social opportun-
ity; I am impressed in these replies
with the recurrence of such ideals as
love for the work that one is doing,
education, study, personal influence,
happiness, service, home. With these
young men, their business is to be an
affair of the heart. We hear much
about the greed of money and power
and the great dangers that threaten
our runaway society; but I wonder
whether, in the end, the country man
will not still have hold of at least
one of the reins.

A Genuine Saving in
PAINT VALUE

MR.. A. L. RICE, Paint Maker,
Adams, N. Y, has discovered a new
and more economical method of put
ting up paint and sells direct from
factory to user at a saving of SO per
cent
This paint is called Double-wear, and
you really get $500 value for 1926
1t is put up in paste form and sold in
cans separate from the oil. Rice pays
the freight and if the paint on arrival
is not absolutely satisfactory, return
it at his expense. No strings to this
offer. If interested in saving IL to 3-4
OF your paint money, write today to
MR.. A. L. RICE, 614 Main ST., Adams,
NJ Y, and receive free by return mail,
his beautiful, illustrated Paint Book,
THE Inside of the Paint Question,
together with a large sample OF paint
and 400 reasons why Double-wear oil
paint is the greatest money saving

The Stringfellow Leconte Pear Or
chard at Hitchcock. Texas.


In the last number of Farm and
Ranch, Mr. Stringfel1ow gives an &C
count of LeConte pear orchard
which is still bearing good crops of
fruit We believe that it will be in
teresting and valuable to every pear
grower among Our readers. We wish
that it was possible to give, at the
same time, copy Of the picture, of
part of this orchard, as it is given
in Farm and Ranch. It represents
immense, trees such as are not often
SEEN But you must read the account
to appreciate and understand what
such an old orchard can be made to
do.
In a recent letter you say: "The
photograph Of LeConte pear tree is
magnificent Why have these lived
and all others failed? Big questions
grow out of these big trees. Tell us
something more about them" You
are right, Mr.. Editor, as to the i'm

the grand old monarchs of the or

be much larger now than when I sold
them in 1904 I can see little differ

day, but every resident of the coast
county, also ewes tbs orchali a tri-
butte Of = pect and appreciat NJ, for
its success !'rst awakened the world
to the fact that the broad prairies of
the South Texas were good for
something besides the cowboy and
the long-horn. When 1 bought the
80 acres from my friend, Mrs. Hitch
cock in 1881, the land was of so little
value that she offered me the whole
tract Of 1000 acres for $1,000, though
Mr.. ]. Jacquard had purchased sew
eral thousand in the neighborhood a
few years before for so cents an acre.
So when I told Mrs. Hitchcock that
about 80 acres between the station
and Highland bayou was all wanted,
she insisted on giving it to me, re-
marking with a laugh, that, ut was
hardly fair to take a mans money
who expected to make living on 80
acres growing pears"
It was then we'll known from many
failures that it was useless to plant
the European and American pears in
South Texas, and neither she nor the
general public could see why the
Chinese varieties should do any bet
ter, so when [ offered her $40 per
acre she positively refused to take
it. But I persisted and finally she
agreed, with the proviso that I was
to go to no expense for surveying, but
just to step it off and guess at the
amount, which I did, and to this day
that 80 acres has never been surveyed.
At that time there were three small
houses at Hitchcock, two at Alvin and
not another to be seen between there
and Houston, though the Houston
branch of the Sante Fe had not then
been built
And now as to the main causes of
the great superiority of that LeConte
orchard over all others set afterwards
two words tell the tale-manure and
non-cultivation after the sixth year
The market garden for fifteen years
on Galveston Island had taught me
the value of the former, but at that
time the latter word had no place in
my vocabulary, nor had any until the
sixth year, when I accidentally dis
covered it's value for bearing trees.

MANY MEN ARE CHOOSING
COUNTRY LIFE.

In previous paper presented the
reasons that I55 college students gave
me for leaving the farm to engage in
other occupations These students
saw little opportunity in farming, 40
per cent. of them alleging that the
business offers no financial reward
Twenty per cent said that the physi-
cal labor is too exacting, and ap-
proximately an equal number that no
social opportunities are offered These
replies present one view of the vexed
question as to what the place of the
farmer is to be in Our coming civil
zation. There was a strain of hope
running through some Of the replies
that in the future the opportunities
on the farm would be improved; but
for the most part, the responses were
hopelessly against the business of
farming as means of personal
achievement.
When I asked for the opinions of
those who had planned to leave the
farm, [ asked, also, for the reasons
that moved those who have planned
to remove from city conditions to
farm life and those who, reared on
farms, intended to return here after
leaving college. The responses are
most Illuminating, and, of course, they
are hopeful for those Of us who look
to the open country to aid in some
large way in maintaining and for
warding the best civilization.
Sixty eight town-bred or city-bred
students wrote me that they intend
to pursue farming as business, and
to this end had entered themselves in
the College of Agriculture. I should
explain, however, that I use the word
farming" in it's broadcast sense as
comprising those many occupations
that are directly concerned with the
products of the soil and are in in
innate touch with actual rural life
conditions; for some of these young
small rural factories rather than &C
tua1 filters of the soil. Many of the
respondents give more than one rea-
son for desiring to follow agricultural
work
The point of view of all these va
rious personal replies is most signif-
cant, and it is in bold contrast to the
general run of the responses of those
who plan to leave the farm. The
present replies are marked by the
prominence given to ideals and by
the subordination of mere personal
emo1ument and desire for money
Forty per cent. of those who are
leaving the farm al1ege that they do
SO because there is not money enough
in it; very few of the 261 students
who plan to be farmers mention the
expectation of earning money as the
leading motive, and number of them
mention the relatively small earning
power, and then declare that they
will follow the business in spite of that
handicap. Nearly every one of them
gives higher ideals of living as the
propelling motive, and these ideals
crystalline about two feet-the love Of
nature, and the desire of a free, in
dependent life. Moreover, these are
