possibilities of Our Farm Lands.


From the standpoint of the most re-
liable and recent Investigations and
information, our land, handled IN ac-
cordance with certain natural laws
that determine its proper cultivation,
will not only furnish food and cloth
ing for an immensely greater popula-
ton for ages, but will supply fuel ana
light and power when coal and petro-
leum shall have been exhausted. But
we must look to better methods of soil
usage for the alternative OF bringing
under cultivation unused and aban-
doned swampy conditions, although
adding a vast total to our cultivable
fields, will not always suffice to meet
the growing demand Already many
sections of congested population are
calling upon outside sources for food,
and many of the large cities at times
actually suffer from vegetable famines.
Such shortages are due to more or
less local and abnormal conditions, but
might become general and permanent
unless wise foresight should make pro-
vision for feeding our rapidly increas-
ing population.
The producing possibility of our cul-
tivable lands becomes almost incon-
ceivable to the mind when we consid-
. er that only small proportion of the
land nominally in farms is actually
under cultivation, and that our acreage
yields are ridiculously low in compar-
ison with those of highly developed
agricultural countries like Germany,
France and England, notwithstanding
that our soils are naturally as produc-
tive, says the American Review of Re-
views.

Few Play by Biornson.

The long-expected play by Bjornst-
jerne Bjornson has been published. 1t is
entitled when New Wine Is in Bloom, y
and the theme is the glorifcation of love
and youth. A chorus is employed, as in
classic drama, and serves as the back
ground for love episodes, one being the
reunion of husband and wife who have
lived apart for some time. The play will
be staged in due course at the Royal the
alter at Copenhagen, and simultaneously
in the various capitals abroad. The ia
nous Danish actress, Nine. Hennings,

ignored The colonel felt no incon-

You'd scarcely expect one of
my age, in merchandising to en-
gage, and hope to get a paying
trade without the local papers
aid. And yet l did that very
thing; l opened up a store last
spring. this month the sheriff
took my stock and sold it at the
auction block. Don't veiw me
with a scornful eye, but simply
say as I pass by; There goes a
fool who seemed to think he had

is a truth as broad as earth and
business men should know of it's
worth, it's simply this: The
public buys, it's goods from those
who advertise.

QUESTION MlX-BLOODS
Otherwise White Earth
Folks Can't Get
Deeds

Washington, D. G., Jan. %. The
Indian Office has placed a heavy lid
on the White Earth reservation in
Minnesota
Under the provisions of what is
known as Senator Clapp's amendment
all mixed. blood ailottees are entitled
to deeds to their lands, but few,
indeed, are getting them owing to
allegations which have been filled,
setting forth that spectators and
lumbermen are getting hold of all the
timber lands just as soon as a mixed
blood becomes legally possessed OF IT.
Hence an order has been sent to
Agent Howard at White Earth to look
carefully into all applications OF the
mixed bloods. A series OF questions
have been sent to Agent Howard
which he is to propround to ali
applicants for fee simple deeds.
The Indian department wants to
know all about the alottee, whether
male or female, how old, what sort OF
habits, what he or she proposes to do
with the allotted lands to be decided
have spectators importuned the
allottee? and if SO, what have they
offered for the allottinents? etc.
1t IS claimed that the mixed bloods
being full citizens who pay taxes,
need not answer these questions and
that they a entitled to their deeds
without so much delay and red tape.
