WHY NOT 1e4 BUSHELS?

Prof c. NJ Evans of Lenox College
says:
In an acre of corn planted in check
rows planted three feet, six inches each
way, there are 1855 hills. Three stalks
per hill is usually considered perfect
stand. This would make 1858 stalks
per acre. 1t is not unreasonable to ex-
poet each stalk, if properly cultivated,
to produce one eleren-ounce ear In
this case we would have yield of 1041 Y
bushels per acre"
Iowa average about thirty three
bushels per acre. There are few fields
that will yield 100 bushels. According
TO Professor Evans figures, if the stand
should average two good stalks tc
a hill and each of these stalks
should bear an ear weighing elev-
en- ounces, the yield would be sew
enty bushels TO the acre. We suggest
that our readers turn these figures over
IN their minds as they are l,usking The
eo-,, this eall ard as!. Zne.. selves VII
they nay no, :a2ve q yield % seventy
bt.tshels ar least. Is II because Of a Pos,
stand. which means poor seed usually
or because of barren stalks, or because
Of irfertile land, or what is the rea son
If every man could determine in his
own mind just why he does not have
a larger yield we would be on fan
way TO increase it another year.

Practically everyone is agreed thai

peace officers and in rare instances of

There ought TO be some way TO break

~ Congressman Sisson of Mississippi
a new member, has hit upon plan TO
materially reduce the promiscuous pos

the following amendment to the new
tariff bill:
That there shall be paid a tax of 81

for sale within the United States. By

Better acres-also an old problem
never quite solved. BY tillage, wonders
have been accomplished The kind that
is used is called scientific soil culture
by Campbell, the pioneer farm investi-
gator who has shown how to make the
acres produce 20 to 80 per cent more
on an average. This is not only dry
acres, but all sorts of acres, under best
condition as we'll as worst. Its all in
the knowledge of how not to waste
water if water is scarce, and it may be
ditch water or rain water.

the judgment OF the New York Com
mercial, a newspaper devoted to the
hope that we have had an end of
Rooseveltism. That paper quotes the
presidents utterances and says. "This
was far from Rooseveltian in its tone
and argument" No advocate of the
Roosevelt policies has appeared to dis
put this verdict. Yet there should be
no hasty judgment Much is left to be
read between the lines. What the
president thus left to be read may run
in the one direction or it may run
in the other. The Texas speech will
have to be consdere in connection
with the whole course of the admins
trations attitude and policy toward
the railroads: but with that speech on
record it will take more than it other
wise would have taken TO make the
people believe that Taft is a bang-up
advocate of the Roosevelt policies,
without fear or apology.

MORE AND BETTER ACRES.


A thousand men are meeting this
week at Billings. Mont, not to talk poll
itics nor seek office. not to give signs
or exchange passwords. but to consider
seriously the way to get more and bel
ter acres for the American farmers.

foodstuffs is not keeping pace with PRO-
duction of consumers. The wheat crop
is good, but the crop Of children AMI
immigrants is better Presently there
Will be 50 many mouths to feed that

for supplies, mayhap not finding them
at all
