Levi P. Morton, former vice pres
ident of this Republic, has been
warning another distinguished cap
italist, Hartman the railroad king,
that if he doesn't stop working SO
hard and worrying he won't last
long. Hartman is 81 years old
while Morton is a youngster of IS.
One difference between them is tina
Morton laughs almost every time he
speaks while Hartman rarely laughs
even when he forecloses on rail-
road corporation that he has chased
into corner. Both are hard work
ers and Morton says he would die if
he didn't keep busy. The man who
laughs is the man that lasts.

Commissioner Welch of the state
immigration board is doing good
work in calling attention to the pos
sibilities of farming on the cut-over
timber lands and other lands in
northern Minnesota. We are in re-
ceipt of pamphlet issued by him
presenting facts and figures as to
what has been done by settlers in
that part of the state heretofore.
Before going to Canada, the settler
of moderate means would Go we'll to
investigate Mr.. Welch's statements
and the conditions that exist in the
locality referred to. In the preface
Mr.. Welch says: ''This is the larg-
est body of undeveloped land of
good quality which can be found in
the entire country. We refer, of
course, to land where the climate,
rainfall, the crops grown and natu r
al advantages are dependable.
Farming in this section is not a VEN
ture. and success depends entirely
on the energy of the owner in deyel-
ing land"

ORANGES RIPENrNG
Especial Corresb0ndent)

Climatic conditions are most favorable
for the ripening of the new crop of Cali
fornia navel oranges. and their flavor
than ever. Up to the present time the
weather has been perfect, and the grow
ers are anticipating a harvest which for
quality bids fair to excel that of any
former season. The rare succulence OF
these "Sunkist' oranges is largely due
to the extreme care taken in their cul-
tivation and the perfect weather condi-
tons under which they are ripening Or
ange culture has been brought to a high
state of perfection in California during,
the past few years, and the forthcoming
crop will bear evidence of this fact in the
as well as in its rarely delicious faynE
and Juicy richness

Professor Shaw, discussing the
movement of the wheat belt to the
last vest" declares emphatically
that the doctrine that yields in
wheat cannot be maintained at the
figures of 20 years ago in the old
wheat area is a depressing doctrine.
eff it we're trta It would be an
alarming truth. f0", push it to its
logical conclusion, and it would
mean that some time the world
would stand face to face with star
walton. Fortunately, it is not true,
as is amply demonstrated in the his
tory Of production. Great Britain
has been cultivated for more than
1000 years, and the average yields
OF the wheat crop were never hlgher
than they are now. In Great Bri-
tain there are more than thirty-tw o
bushels per acre. In Holland and
Belgium the yields are still higher.
The thing that hath been is that
which may be. If good farming
can maintain and increase wheat
yields in these countries, so may it
increase them in the United States. "
The professor maintains that intel
ligent rotation of crops and study
of causes for the falling away of the
wheat yield will make wheat a pay
ing crop in the years to come in this
state as it has not been before.
