STOCK, CROP AND FARM NOTES

Walter Clark has sold FIVE mules

Over two hundred carloads of
peaches were received in New York

the county.

Using space in The Bee and the Twentieth

that the exposition meant a great deal
more than simply bringing a few thousand

broader side OF the exposition in the great

the farmers how to increase hhe yield Of
their farms.
General Manager S~turgess.
Thomas L. Sturgcss Is the general man

helping to bring the show to Omaha and

well. even down TO the humble service Of
going out and getting the money. During

over the country, securing concessions for
the exposition and spreading its good will
and fame.
BiR Everett Buckingham.
Everett Buckingham is a big man IN
more ways than one. He will tip the scales
NJ over 200, but his powers Of mind and
heart are even bigger than that proportion
ately. Mr.. Buckingham is genera manager
OF the Union Stock Yards company OF
South Omaha, but for many years he was
one Of the executive officials Of the Union
Pacific and later Of the oregon Short Line.
What Of this? Nothing, save that it has
been one Of the best resources at the com
mand Of the National Corn exposition. A
man with such experience knows best how
to negotiate business relations with rail-
roads. All the acumen OF his splendid rail-
road mind Mr.. Buckingham has freely
placed at the disposal Of this exposition.
He has gone back and forth personally to
and from Chicago and other cities when
necessary to make direct solicitations for
railroad patronage and concessions. He
has been Indispensable.

James j.. Hill is prominently the friend

men behind the Corn Show"
In North Dakota new settlers have been
pouring in until the movement is called a
second coming of pioneers. To get these
new settlers started on claims, to show
them how to make a living the first year
on a wild tract of land. is one Of the
problems which President Worst has con-
fronted. The problem has been solved to
a large measure. Flax is one of the crops
planted the first year. and the new set
tier makes a profit. Many Of them come
from states where flax is not known as a
farm crop. The college in North Dakota
has been Of great assistance TO the new
corners.
Then President Worst realizes the neces-
sity Of getting crops for the farmers to use
in rotation. North Dakota is advertised
as a wheat state. Farmers go into II to
grow wheat and they keen growing II as
long as the land will produce a wheat

RACE TO SAVE BABY'S LIFE
Surgeons Cut n Hole I'm It's Throat
for Air and RemOv =
Pennuf,

Mary. the baby daughter Of Mrs. Bertha
Fingerhut of SAP East Twenty-first street.
New York, was saved from death by chok-
ing through the quick work Of two sur
geons in performing an operation of tTach-
eotomy.
The mother was breaking peanuts into
fine pieces with her own teeth and feeding
them to the baby, when the latter. unob-
served. seized a whole kernel and tried to
swallow it. She began to choke, and when
slapped on the back failed to dislodge the
peanut. Mrs. Fingerhut hurried with the
child to b drug store at the corner OF First
avenue. The druggist said he could do
nothing and urged her to hurry the baby
to Bellevue hospital. Mrs. Fingerhut was
almost frantic and commenced to run up
First avenue in the middle Of the street,
crying loudly.
Behind them was a Board of Health am
bulance driven by Albert Mcneil. He
turned to DIR. Earl II. Welcome, a United
States army surgeon attached to the VII
lard Parker hospital, who was also on the
ambulance, and suggested that the baby
might have been run over.
q DR.. Welcome jumped from the ambulance
and asked Mrs. Fingerhut what the mat
ter was. She was so excited that she could
say nothing but that the child must be
hurried to the hospital.
DIR. Welcome snatched the baby from
her, jumped to the seat beside Mcneil and
told him to drive with all speed possible.

In scarcely a longer time than It takes to
tell 1t one of the surgeons had made an

had to build 1000 miles Of railroad for
one thing and he built those 1000 miles OF
road without asking or receiving a cent OF
government subsidy or land grant. Mr..
Hill is a severely practical man. He be-
lieves in knowing every detail of his own
business and so when he undertook the
task of building one of his great railroads,
the Great Northern. he walked every foot
of it's length to get the lay OF the land and
know for himself it's possibilities and the
topography OF the country in which he was
to expend millions.
Eugene Funk.
Believing that Americans shoul pro-
duce all those needed agricultural products
to which the soil and climate are adapted,
and that a farm or given tract of land
should at the same time be made to pay
dividends" just the same as a railroad or
manufacturing enterprise pays on its cap
ital stock, Eugene Funk of Shirley, Ill.
was one of the first men TO demonstrate
that farming can be reduced to the same
basis as any other business.
Take tho great Funk farms in Illinois,
owned by Mr.. Funk and his brothers. They
have 5000 acres and have put the hand
Omaha daily bee., 1909-12-05

ling Of these farms on the sama basis as a
great manufacturing enterprise. Suppose
the land is worth $3.50 an acre. The Funks
said; 1T must be made to pay us divl-
dends on this valuation; >no difference
what the crops are, it must earn, say, s per
cent net"
1t took some time to get farming on
this basis, but in the last few years the
farms have paid dividends on a valuation
Of $500 per acre. In other words, by intelll-
gent work the Funks have pushed the
value of their farm stock up 80 points or
more.
To aid in getting other farmers to put
their farming on a business basis, Eugene
Funk became nstrumen in organizing
the National Corn association and is now
its president. Not only does this organiza-
ton urge more and better corn, but con-
ducts a campaign. to popularize corn as a
human food. When corn is more generally
used for human food, its price will be-like
wheat-more fixed and always higher Thus
the farmer is benefited, and Eugene Funk
has had an influence in getting corn used
not only in this country but abroad.
The National Corn exposition is sup
ported by the National corn association,
! and the influence Of the organization is
more potent than is generally supposed.
Every exhibitor who sends samples OF grain
to Omaha is a member Of the organization,
while those who arrange the state exhibits
are the vice presidents of the organiza-
ton.
Thus Eugene Funk has put his influence
and that of the organization which he
heads behind the National Corn exposi-
ton, believing the 100000 spent annually
by the government and the states in build
ing up the science and practice of agri-
culture can give a greater benefit TO the
farmers If they can attend a great exposi-
ton and see what is being done. The result
of the corn show, to Eugene Funk, means
a large net increase in the value of pro-
ducts per acre and per worker, for Funk
is a business man above all else.
Secretary James Wilson.
While James Wilson, secretary of agri-
| culture and president of the American
Breeders association, viii not be in Omaha
during the National Corn exposition be-
cause Of the opening of congress-, there
are fewamen connected with the exposition
whose influence has been more potent to
make the latest of western enterprises a
success.
To James Wilson Omaha owes the fact
that the exhibit of the government at
Seattle is coming to the corn show" BY
his direction four special baggage cars
were loaded at Seattle during the last week
and are now on their way to Omaha.
Mr.. Wilson entered the cabinet under
President william Mckinley, and at that
time those who knew said: 1T may be
doubted whether there is another man in
the United States who united in his own
person so many admirable qualifications
for the position Of secretary Of agricul-
ture."
Mr.. Wilson has the tact and shrewd COM
mon sense of his Scotch ancestry, a high
conception of his department, a remark

The New England people, after looking
over the plans Of the National Corn expo

give a corn show, and next year a big
show will be held in the states on the

This is a Butterfield idea. He has been
aware for some time that New England
