OUR UNDERWORKED ACRES.
Yields in United States Much Smaller
Than in Other Countries.


The United States has the most
fertile soil and most favorable CHI
mate in the world, but by careless
methods produces an annual average
yield of less than IA bushels of
wheat an acre, while England pro-
duces more than 80, Germany about
2S, the Netherlands 81, and France
20 bushels.
Of oats the United States produces
an average yield an acre of 23 bush
els, England AZ, Germany 46 and
Holland So. In potatoes the United
States produces IS bushels an acre.
Germany, Belgium and Great Britain
average $50 each.
Germany, with an arabic area not
greater than some of our largest
states, produces approximately D.
600, 100000 bushels of potatoes an
nually, while the annual crop of the
United States average 100000
bushels per annum. In the year end
led June both we imported 1884, 00O
bushels.

acreage in the United States in
creased % per cent, while our ex-
ports decreased 81 per cent, show

16 years of age, says former cir
Gus man. The majority are travel

father and mother doing daily duties
in the ring, and while often they are
trained to follow in the steps Of their
elders they are seldom allowed to
perform in public.

Gus men that the performer whose

These were the families of the circus
aristOcracy, who treasure the records
of their ancestors with the pride oil
a son in his fathers sword and who
see no more inspiring calling fol

Not that their education is neg

DETROIT BLACK MANS CITY
FREE PRESS" CONCENTRATES
ON INCREASE OF NEGROES.

Expresses sympathy For the South
On Its Loss. Organization OPP
poses Separation of Races.
After the negroes began moving
northward in considerable numbers
the press of that section discovered
that the south was the best place for
the black man, and with unexpected
earnestness presented reasons why he
should not cross Mason and Dixon S
line. These northern editors truly
represent the attitude of the great
majority of the people of the cities
in which they live, and therefore we
conclude that Detroit is an excep-
ton, for the Free Press of that city
| takes an entirely different view.
The Free Press congratulates De-
troit on the fact that its negro popu-
lation is growing as the result of a
steady current of migration on the
part of colored persons from the
south, expresses sympathy for this
section in the loss it thus sustains.
and suggests as remedial measure
the abandonment of the present
southern system of noticeable race
segregation. One Attorney r. j..
Willis" is quoted as saying that the
very best element of the negro pop
ulation of the south is moving into
the north, where they will be less
handicapped by race prejudice 1t
is further stated that Detroit has or
carnations which oppose noticeable
segregation, believing there is less
friction where there is no segrega-
ton. In other words, there will be
greater harmony when whites and
blacks occupy the same quarters of
towns and cities than there is when
the southern plan of noticeable"
separation, or the fiocking together
OF birds of a feather is adopted; and
If the south would only follow De-
trolt's example in this matter our
race problem would soon be much
nearer solution, and the best ele-
ment" of the blacks would not con-
tinue to leave us in such large num-
bers.
We reproduce these interesting
and naive remarks in order to sug-
gest to such negro men and women
of this immediate section as con-
template going north that there
seems to be at least one hospitable
asylum wherein they will be entirely
welcome, and that Detroit should be
the city of their choice.
Meanwhile the cities of the south
will continue the policy of segrega-
ton, believing that none other can
be so successful in preventing race
friction and keeping race prejud ce
within bounds. AS for our supposed
losses, we shall not even have to
summon philosophy to our aid in or
der to bear them cheerfully, for
many of us have long been convinced
that more or less equal distribution
of the negroes throughout the United
States is, of all things, what the
south most needs. If Detroit should
open its hospitable doors to half a
million southern negroes within the
next year or two the Free Press
could not possibly rejoice more than

WASHINGTON, D. C.->That there
has been a careful scrutiny of the
estimates of appropriations for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1911, is
shown by the figures submitted to
the house of representatives by Sec
rotary of the Treasury MacVeagh.
The grand total of estimates for l91 /
is S732,223,07 which is $103, 870,-
800 less than the appropriations for
the current fiscal year and $123,-
066,493 under the estimates sub
mitted year ago for 1911. A gen
eral cut has been made wherever
possible.
New work is authorized only where
regarded absolutely necessary. Here
tofore it has been the practice of the

President Taft put a ban on this
practice. He gave notice to the mem

NO NEW ORLEANS MOLASSES.
Agricultural Department. Asked tC
Wipe Out the Term.


Iconoclasm is rampant at Wash
ington in the agricultural depart
ment, and the referee board is asked
to wipe out the term New Orleans
molasses. 1t is described that moth
ing can be found in the market which
bears the least resemblance to what
once was known as New Orleans mo-
lasses. 1t is explained that molass-
es-making processes have been revo-
lutionized, and that now three differ
ent grades of syrup are made where
before but one existed.
AS an Offset to this contention
legal authorities assert that any mo-
lasses made in Louisiana should be
entitled to the name New Orleans
mOlasses. Manufacturers outside the
state seek to do away with that
time-honOred designation, and the
trouble comes from this trade ri

WORSE THAN BUCKET SHOP
UNSAVORY PRACTICES By NEW

WASHINGTON Gambling on
stupendous scale; gambling which
plays fast and loose with wealth
which it does not produce; eXploita-

fers profits; reckless manipulation of

evasion of speculative risks while

While the report does not under
take to denounee in detail these
practices it shows them up in glaring
light in parts four and five OF the
report on cotton exchanges just is
sued by the commissioner Of corpor-
ations.
The New York Cotton Exchange is
more dangerous than bucket shop,
because patrOnized by the non-specu-
lative public engaged in growing and
spinning cotton-men who would not
be caught dead IN a bucket shop;
and because of its widely demoraliZ-
ing effect upon the cotton industry,
its depression of prices to cheat the
producers and its uneconOmic plan o.:
fixed differences" which defraud
merchants and manufacturers who
wish to hedge" in order to avoic
speculative chances, is shown in an
absolutely convincing way in the
latest disclosures.
That the New York exchange Is
playing both ends for the benefl o.
the middlemen, defrauding the far:a-
ers and cheating the purchaser IS
proved beyond question by the facts
and figures presented in Comm sSi0A-
er Smiths report.
