The College Farm Boy Maker of
New Prosperity.


throughout the country the benefit
or education at the agricultural col
leges is beginning TO assume an i'm.
portance in the eyes of the farming
communities which it never had be-
fore
The boys who come back to the
farm inbued with the idea of semitic
farming are making records for them
selves which causes the old time
farmers to open their eyes.
The experienced farmers who
thought they knew all about corn grow
ing for instance. are finding that these
lads who come back from school with
scientific knowledge as to the best
methods of preparing the soil. select
ing the seed, and doing other things
OF vital importance, are growing crops
that are record breakers.
The yield that the average college
boy secures from his experimental
corn field is SO great that his corn
is Immediately in demand for seed
among the neighbors who see how
much better success he is having than
they have had, and while they will
not be able 10 produce a good crop
from his seed alone they are begin
ming to follow his methods of cultiva.
ton and the result is an increase in
the quality ami quantity of the corn
yield
One farmers son in Wisconsin is
aid 10 have cleared 100000 from
his seed corn, this amount being in
excess of his fathers entire income
from the whole farm. Another col
lege farm boy secured $4,000 per
bushel for his seed corn. and so it
goes.
The average American farm boy
is not only a substantial and respon-
sble young man. but he is filled with
an ambition TO do better things than
have ever been done, in whatever he
undertakes to do; and twenty years
from today, the neighborhoods where
the finest crops are produced and
where the best and most productive
farms are located. will point back to
the time when the boys were first sent
to agricultural colleges as the begin
ming OF this new prosperity which is
dawning upon the farmers OF the
country Oklahoma Farmer.

Remedy for Smallpox.

A very simple remedy is said to be a
certain cure for smallpox. Edward
Hine, correspondent of the Liverpool
Mercury, in a communication to that
paper speaks as follows:
81 am willing to risk my reputation
as public man if the worst case of
smallpox cannot be effectually cured in
three days simply by cream Of tarter,
This is the sure and never failing rem
edy: one ounce of cream of tarter dis
solved in pint of boiling water, to be
drunk when cold, at short intervals.
1t can be taken at any time and is pre-
ventive as well as curative. 1t is
known to have cured in hundred thou
sand cases without a failure. | have
myself restored hundreds by these
means. Ii never leaves a mark, never
causes blindness and always prevents
tedious lingering. If the people would
only try it and report all the cures to
you, you would be required to employ
many columns if you gave them pub
licity.

A Million and Quarter Immigrants

Economic conditions in this country
have caused remarkably heavy return
of foreign laborers for winter sojourn
in their native lands. Commissioner
Sargent informs us that the total immi-
grafton for the fiscal year 1906-1907
was 1,285, 349, a total exceeding the
greatest figures of any preceding year
by more than 10000. The greatest
number of immigrants came from Aus
tria- Hungary 33S, 600 of them. Italy
came next, sending us 285, 600 odd. The
Russian Empire sent 259, 900; China $50,
a decrease from the figures of the pre-
ceding year; and Japan 10000, an in
crease of about 100 per cent. for the
year 1906. One significant fact brought
out by the Commissioner report is
that great number of immigrants
landed at Southern ports, an increase
to these destinations caused, in the
opinion of the Commissioner, by the
growing desire of the Southern States
to draw the better class of labor from
abroad. The relatively large increase
in the immigration from Japan is no
doubt due to illegal entry from over the
Canadian and Mexican borders. The
total amount of money brought into
the country by immigrants last year
was over $25, 900, 900, an average of al
most 500 per person. The Commission
er strongly recommends the calling of
an international conference on immigra-
ton and immigration; that marine hos

Our Old Friend. the Grip.

The 'open" season for our old friend,
Mr.. Grip, has arrived, and according to
reports he has started out with appar-
ent determination to break all his pre-
vious records as a trouble maker. For
some reason his greatest activity thus
far has been confined to sections of the
east, which may be explained on any of
the several theories that he possesses
a prediction for 'calchaw," that
there are more people in the east and
it therefore provides more inviting
field, that the weather may have some
thing to do with it, or that Mr.. Grip is
this time planning to make a clean
sweep of it and has therefore COM
menced at one extreme of the country
intending to march his army of germs
from coast to coast in systematic
campaign on conquest. Certain it is
that in many eastern cities the prevail
ing epidemic of the grip is attracting
much attention, and 50 many victims
are down with the disease it is actually
interfering with the conduct of gener-
al business in some places. At Pitts
burg, for instance, it is claimed that
Office forces are seriously depleted on
this account, while the street car COM
pany is badly handicapped by its inabil-
ity to keep a working force of employees.
And to add to the trouble caused by the
grip there is also a large amount of
pneumonia and typhoid, which in many
cases are the camp followers of the
grip, Selling on the weakened victims
of the latter and thereby adding to the
sum total of human misery.

"A report from Naples says that
more than $500 immigrants landed
there recently from the United States.
They reported that the steamship COM
panies already had booked several hun
dred thousand Italians for return home,
which caused apprehension in the mat
ter of their future employment. The
governmental emigration office is dis
couraging emigration to America and
has published circular in which it is
pointed out that the presidential cleo
ton next year will undoubtedly arrest
development and industrial activity in
that country, thus greatly decreasing
the demand for labor Well, this coun-
try can afford to let the Italians GO
back home, especially the class that
fiourishes the "black hand and the
stilletto. The more civilized Italians
can't be fooled by such silly scares, and
will remain in this country. Elk.
