Abandoned Farms in New York.

a few years ago we were hearing a
New England, but it is subject upon
which little is heard in these times.
There are still abandoned farms to be
found in this section, but they are not
numerous enough to present any great
problem. Some of them arc farms
which it was a mistake or worse, to
| occupy in the first place. The others
are being occupied as summer homes
or added to adjacent farms or being
| winning both prosperity and the good
will of their neghbors of the old stock.
Now we are told that New York, the
great Empire State with it's vast and
prosperous rural section. has an
abandoned farm problem. At first this
seems very strange. for New York has
no back town" and hill region as we
have here in New England. far from
the main lines of commerce and the
movement Of population and industry.
Rural New York has natural surround
ings making it far more favorable to
though it goes the main highways of
commerce and population between the
East and the West. Nevertheless it
has it's abandoned farm problem and
its problem of decreasing farm values.

hills of the Mohawk region. Secretary

from the department were sent into the
principal agricultural counties of the

These officials report that UP to
within about three years at the most,
the drift of the rural population of
New York state has been decidedly to-
ward the cities. where the younger
element largely go in the expectation of
finding easier and more profitable en-
ployment-this drift to the cities
following an earlier movement to the
West. 1t is the same tendency we
have seen here in Maine and in all Of
New England. Half a dozen of the
leading agricultural counties of New
York show declines in total farm
valuation of from 10 to, 40 per cent

the st&ee contain over 100000 acres.

to be nearly or quite as good as it ever
was for general or specialized farming
They say by way of summary
THE reason for the depopulation and
heavily decreased values in the farms
of the state since 1880 is not because OF
any deterioration of soil, but is due
rather to the migration of the village
and country population to the cities
and western states, which began in the
middle sos. and to the lack of any
action by the state to encourage the re-
clamation of the abandoned and de-
populated farms. If something Is not
done soon by the state to encourage the
upbuilding of the agricultural districts
"a slight increase in wealth and popu-
latiOn manifested in the last three
years making the present time oppor-
tune for such action-the opportunity
will be lost and the state of the farmer
will again lapse into the unfortunate
condition in which it has been since

conditions will become worse than they
were during the census-taking of 1900

An almost increditable story of a
monstrous legal wrong comes from
Alabama. About 20 years ago a little
colored girl only Il years old. was
found guilty of larceny and sentenced
to serve 90 months in the mines.
Through some mistake, the clerk who
made out the commitment papers by
a careless or Indifferent stroke of his
pen made them read 800 years" in
stead of 40 months" The girls fam
lily and friends were poor but they
realized that a wrong had been done
when the girl was not released at the
end of % months and tried to find out
the reason why. Finally they engaged
lawyers to help them straighten
out the tangle, but the process proved
a slow one and possibly the fact that
the prisoner was only poor colored
girl tended to delay the proceedings
Just before the 20 years was up the
prisoner died, and now the Alabama
Legislature which is in session is ask
ed to compensate to the mother for
the loss Of her daughters services. OF
course no money can right such a
wong and it seems intolerable that

No Japanese Trade Boycott.

By the use of the latest trade
statistics a writer in the Philadelphia
Ledger promptly pictures that absurd
/ rumor that Japan is about to boycott
| American goods in retaliation for the
grievances Of some of it's subjects in
| San Francisco. 1t does not require an
! exhaustive study of the commercial
relations of Japan and the United
States to convince US that Japan is not
likely to declare such boycott. If the
Japanese should be so foolish as to
unite in an agreement not to buy
American goods they would close their
most lucrative market, for it cannot
he supposed that the people of this
country would go on buying Japanese
silks and pottery. The Japanese would
be the greater losers by such a COM
mercial war. and the japanese are
much to astute to engage in so I'M
necessary and quixotic an adventure.
For it is to be remembered that the
United States stands at the head of the
list of the countries with which Japan
trades, the volume of that trade last
year reaching SOS, 100000. exceeding the
aggregate of Japan's trade with China
by more than $1O,OOOOOO and with
Great Britain by $36,OOO,0OO. And
what is more significant, the balance
is in favor Of Japan, for her exports 10
the United States in 1906 amounted to
s63. 0O0, 900, while she bought from us
only s35.OOO,OOO worth. Moreover. we
could much more easily dispense with
the things we buy from Japan than
Japan could do without the goods i'm
ported from the United States.
For instance, as the Ledger points
out, more than 20 per cent. of the
Japanese exports to the United States
were raw silk and manufactures of SILK,
while the other chief items were mat
ting, porcelain and earthenware, tea
and camphor. All these are luxurles
WHICH we COulu very Wcll uo NAehoUe'
On the other hand, the American ship
ments to Japan were in large part the
raw materials upon which the grow
ing industries of the empire are de-
pendent, cotton being the chief item,
and the other necessities being flour,
machinery and engines. and kerosene.
Perhaps Japan could get along without
these. too, but hardly as well as we
could dispense with Japanese silks,
teas and ceramic ornaments.
The Japanese would much belle the
reputation they have made for them
selves for ability to protect their own
interests if they want only
imperiled a trade which in 10 years has
increased more than fourfold. The
disclaimer of the Toxic Chamber of
Commerce of any such intention is far
more likely to be right than the skepit-
cal and alarmist views expressed in
many of the news dispatches from the
Japanese capital.

A Japanese editor who is in this
country on a visit has been interviewed
by the New York World and declares
that the so called war party in Japan
the party which is antagonizing the

raising all the hullabaloo which some
psople in this country misinterpret as
the hostile sentiment of the Japanese
government. does not consist of more
than 10000 people out of the $4,000, 600
population of the empire. This class
is called in Japan the "Yakkiguma.' y
meaning in English. 1.-The thoughtless
ones" The term is aptly applied and
raises the query whether the thought
less ones in this country who are max
ing the Japanese war talk are as nu-
mcrOus us one in 5000 of our popula-
ton. They make a lot of noise. to be
sure. but both in this country and in
