PROMOTING AGRICULTURE.

One of the essential needs of the
United States today is the extension
OF agricultural enterprise. Vast re-
gions of farm lands that will yield
profitable crops of every variety
abound in several sections of the ma
ton almost in their virgin state. High
prices for food-stuffs and many of
the necessities of life which are made
from farm products will continue to
prevail at their present unreasonable
figures until the yield of crops and
farm products are increased mater
tally. And so, any matter on the sub
ject of the promotion of agriculture
cannot fail to be of interest. Some
thing of the kind is found in one of
the recent Daily Consular reports. It

THE PRINTERs, rNIoN

The Alta members of the Inter-
national typographical union, through
their accredited representatives. are
holding the fifty-fifth annual conven-
ton of this important organization at
st. Joseph. Mo. It is an event out of
common in the way of labor conven-
tons because of the strength of this
union and its method of conduct.
which might well be copied by some
of the other bands of organized labor
that are struggling along for life and
success.
This printers union is not without
its critics. There are some print
shops in the country which are of
the open variety and from which
union men are barred. But they are
not many. From time to time and in
various sections of the country the
employers of printers have not taken
very kindly to some of the demands
which the union has made. There
have been big strikes maintained by
the union on occasions. but these
have not been many nor frequent of
late years. When all this has been
said, though, the important fact yet
remains that the International Typo
graphical union is model of it's kind
and one that other labor unions
would do we'll to pattern after.
If it had not been most successfully
conducted not only from the stand
point OF it's members but also of their
employers it would not be alive to-
day and in its present fine condition.
This is due, in the main. to the fact
that it does things for its members
besides agitating them to strike and
cause almost endless turmoil in the
fields where they are employed. 1t
has created a pension system where
by its members are sure of an
adequate living when old age has put
them out of commission as workers.
1t maintains a home for It's destitute
and unfortunate members at Colo
RADIO Springs and in conjunction with
it is a sanitarium for the care and
treatment of those members who are
afflicted with the dread tuberculosis.
1t provides death benefits. In fact,
it's activities are many in fields where
they are most needed. This explains
why the members of the union are so
loyaI to it. And this loyalty is fur
Their explained by the fact that each
one of the members has a more di-
rect voice in the administration of the
affairs of their union than have the
members of any other labor organiza-
ton.
It is a matter for small wonder that
the International Typographical union
is such a success. The same sort or
successes could be achieved by other
labor bodies If they were only con-
Quoted with as much intelligence.

comes from H. Albert Johnson, Uni
ted States consul at Liege, Belgium,
and tells what is being done in that
country for the promotion of agri-
culture and also of the growth there
of the "co-opeFative'' idea. What Con-
sui eJohnson has to tell of is in part
as follows:
THE tendency toward cooperation
in all lines of industry, leading to the
organization of associations, guilds,
and syndicates, has always been
strongly in evidence in this section
of Europe, and in the agricultural in
dustries this tendency appears par
ticularly marked. According to the
latest statistics bearing on this sub
ject, there existed on December 81,
1907, as many as 1,271 agricultural
associations, such as agricultural
leagues, farmers clubs, apiarian So
eieties, horticultural societies, aVicul-
tural associations, syndicates for the
improvement of the bovine species,
for the amelioration of the goat races,
for rabbits, for swine, etc; agricul-
tural insurance societies for insur-
ance of stock, and for insuring against
losses in crops, and for various other
purposes Other societies endeavor to
foster the development of agriculture
by means of expositiOns and by the
establishment of experimental farms.
Still other societies are organized for
the study ana protectlon OF aSflcul-
tural interests.
cat the beginning of 1904 there ex-
listed but four agricultural credit So
cieties; now there are 523 local as
sociations allied to seven banking de-
partments. The leagues and their CEN
trail committees are also interested
in insurance against agricultural
risks, numerous mutual insurance So
cieties for live stock having been or
ganized during the past few years.
Policies for insurance against hail are
issued, and insurance is provided for
against accidents on the part of labor
ers employed. Educational courses
are arranged, bearing on subjects of
especial interest to the farmers, and
an agricultural consultation bureau
has been organized where members
are enabled to procure desired infor-
nation free of charge. The aid of
journalism is also made use of in
spreading knowledge of the science
and practice of successful farming.
The leagues endeaVor, through their
good Offices" to bring about, If pos
sible, an amicable adjustment of suits
IN controversy, while an authorized
solicitor is retained by the central
committees, whose services are at the
disposition of mem bers. The associa-
lions of farmers wives have for their
object the assistance of the women
of the farms in the study of matters
pertaining to domestic affairs. The
horticultural associations display
marked activity in endeavoring to fur
ther the progressive development of
horticulture throughout the country"

HOT WEATHER AND DEATHS.

| Whenever the thermometer gets up
in the nineties in the thickly congest-
ed centers of population such as New
York and Chicago, for instance, the
news dispatches of those days tell of
nunnberIess prostrations and many
deaths from the effects of the heat.
If the hot weather continues in such
places for a period of a week or ten
davs the number of heat prostrationS
becomes prodigious and the number
of deaths due to the heat is terribly
large.
Similar heat conditions prevail in
this and other sections of the country.
In these parts during the present sum-
mer it has been rather unusual not to
have the thermometer as high as so
and even above that point for days at
a time Yet the number of heat pros
trations hereabouts have been few and
far between and it is likely that not a
single case of death, in this immediate
locality at any rate, has been charged
to the heat during this entire summer
when it has been rather unprece-
dented.
Now. why is it that people do not
drop dead and become Frustrated with
the heat here the same as they do in
natural query and one that is made fire.
quently. The answer is simple one.
The heat prostrations and deaths from
heat in New York and Chicago are for
the most part among young children
and elderly people of the extremely
noorer classes. The poor in large
cities are in much worse circum-
stances than are those in these sec
tions of the country. Indeed, there is no
room for comparison between them.
This statement may seem far-fetched,
but it is a fact that the poor in the big
cities actually struggle along with
starvation season in and season out.
The very young and the very old
among them are emaciated and weak
from want of proper food and enough
of 1t. They are also made physically
unfit through inadequate sleeping and
living quarters. They are the ones for
the most part who succumb to the
rigors of excessive heat. And no Won
der! 1t is remarkable that they are
nary conditions that prevail among
them.
Exactly the opposite conditions
maintain in these parts. Everybody.
young and old alike. is generally bless
ed with enough to eat. They are not
herded in tenements to live like so
many rats in the trap. They have
plenty of air and everything else that
is needed to make them physically
strong. And that's why a little hot
weather is not fatal to them, except
in rare instances.

BOUNTIFUL HARVEST IN SIGHT.

BOUNTIFUL HARVEST IN SIGHT.
1t looks very much as though the
farmers fthis country were prepar-
ing for big melon cutting" this fall.
The July crop report of the agricul-
turaI department is particularly
gratifying at this tins. 1t shows that
natures gifts to man this year will be
as bountlful as in the past, and some
crops promise to break all records.
1t may be a little early to count
definitely upo nthe coming harvest,
but the July report is generally con-
sidered in the light of a fairly accu-
rate progn ostication of the result,
and only an exceptional setback to
the growing season can seriously
affect the outcome.
Last year Secretary Wilson esti-
mated the value of the years farm
products at S7,77S,000.0OO. which
was an increase of approximately
each year in turn recording a new
high water mark. This year the
prospects are that the $4,000, 100000
point will be passed.
The corn crop this year promises
the greatest yield in the history of the
country. The indicated harvest is
3,161, 174,000 bushels, as against g.
66S,651,000 bushels last year. The
average condition of this crop on
July 1st was $89.3 as compared with
s4.S, the 10-year average on July 1.
1t will be remembered that wheat
prices advanced enormously last
spring at the result of statements by
the Patten syndicate, which was
manipulating the market. that there
would be a big shortage in this cereal
this year. At that time it is true,
conditions were unfavorable. but since
then there has been notable improve
ment. The indicated harvest of win
ter wheat on July 1st was 4o9,704,000
bushels, or 82.4 as compared with
sos at harvest in 1908. 1873 in 1907
and 1915 in the 1o-year average. The
crop, however. this year, is about
28,000,000 bushels below that of last
year on account of decrease of
acreage planted.
On the other hand there is an il
crease of acreage in spring wheat,
making an indicated harvest on July
list of 253,796,00O bushels, as against
vested last year. The average con-
dition was 92.7, as compared with 81
per cent, the 10-year average on
July LIST.
Without deIving further into fig
ures, it may be said that oats promise
bigger yield than in any year since
1902, the year 1906 alone expected,
and the condition of barley and rye
is above the 1O-year average.
The meaning of all this in the
country is too apparena to enlarge
upon, but. in brief, the large crops,
with liberal prices are likely to pre-
vail, point to an enormous increase in
the purchasing ability of the largest
class Of consumers in the United
States.-Leavenwort Times.
