The Vinita daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1902-1913, 1909-07-20
ooRN As KING oE cRoPs.

Showers that are falling in various
portions Of Oklahoma have a vital
interest to the Oklahoma farmer, for
they mean salvation for the corn
crop. and corn is the monarch Of
crops in the new state as it is through
out the land. Once cotton was king
but that day is long past. Oklahomas
corn crop in 1907 amounted to 1925,
600 bushels, and the last year about
100000 900 bushels This year 1t is ex-
pected that the crop IN this state will
reach 175, 100000 representing a value
near 500, ,O0O.O 600
Away back in 1871, when Samuel j..
Tilden returned from a season in Eu'
rope after he had been counted out
when elected president Of the United
States. he addressed large throng
which had assembled at Gammercy
park to welcome him home. He did
not touch upon American politics, but
took as his theme the development Of
our commerce with Europe and talked
Of what he believed was destined to
become our principal crop-Indian
corn. or maize. He said that II might
require a generation Of time to teach
the people of Europe the food value
that is in Indian corn.
Governor Tilden said that there was
no reason why. within the course Of a
few years, the United States should
not raise a harvest of 100000. 900
bushels of corn. He ventured to pre-
dict the money value Of harvest Of
that kind at not far from 81 500. .000, 900
and in graphic manner depicted the
relation of so great harvest as that
to the prosperity Of the American
railways. In the last five or six years
Of Governor Tilden's life he frequently
in private conversation. referred TO the
wealth-producing possibilities for the
American people that lay in the pro
duction of Indian corn. What he then
predicted is this year realized. We are
to have at least a 1900 900 bushel
harvest Of Indian corn. and the money
value Of that will be from $1,000 0OO,-
900 to a little under $4,000 100000
These figures make It evident. even
to him that runs. that corn will prove
a considerable factor in promoting the
early return Of that prosperity this
country was enjoying prior to that
fateful day. during the administration
OF Theodore Roosevelt when a bank
srs' holiday" was called and the
wheels Of industry and business stop
ped. It may also be expected that.
when the corn crop is harvested this
year, there will be no more idle cars.
The politicians viii say the improved
business conditions are due to the set
Element Of the tariff question. but the
prime cause Of returning prosperity
viii be-King Corn 0klahoman.

A great new nation is forming in 81
IBERIA. One OF the most gigantic migra-
lions in history has been proceeding so
quietly that the world generally has
not noticed the movement.
During twelve months over 10000
Russians have gone to Siberia, or equal
to half the number Of immigrants the
United States received during that
period from the whole earth.
Prince Yassiltchikoff, Minister Of Ag-
riculture, has furnished the Duma with
the following figures Of the migration
across the Ural Mountains. For sew
eral years before 1906 It was 10000 an
nually. In 1906 IT was 10000. In 1907
it was 100000 In the first three months
Of 1908 1t was 10000, comprising TO-
900 families. The accounts Of Siberia
brought home by the soldiers returning
from the sso-Japanese war impress
ed the poverty-stricken Moujlks with
glowing ideas Of siberia's vast natural
wealth. They also have little faith In
the measures the grand council Of the
empire is taking to settle the burning
agrarian question. The emIgrants sell
dom go sIngIy or even in families, but
gather in colonies for the exodus.

A Proper Outlay ON Internal Waters

We are spending hundreds OF mil
lions Of dollars upon Panama. partly as
a military measure. partly to enable
ships to save two transfers and rail
haul in carrying between the east and
west coasts, partly In a spirit Of ideal
ism-desiring to give a great free road
way to the world. says John l. Mat
thews In Success. II we spent an equal
sum or even less upon our internal
waters under a systematic plan OF con-
servation we would make virtual sea
ports OF Sioux City. Omaha, Kansas
City, Pittsburg, Minneapolis, st. Louis
and Chicago; would save all the trans
fers and overland rail haul which now
burden the grain Of the northwest and
the iron Of Pittsburg; would make II
possible for gunboats OF considerable
size to hasten to points nearly every
where In the interior OF the country
and to defend with equal force the
shores Of the great lakes and those Of
the gulf; and In the end we would
have. not from tolls, but from the by
products Of our industry, a net return
Of more than the original capital every
year to nation, state and Individual.
We know from long and careful OBJ
servatIons. at what times water will fall
Ia vast amount In spring and very lit
tie In autumn and winter. Our task IL
so to conduct It that there shall be at
all times fairly standard amount IN
