INDIAN CORN IS
GREATEST CROP
Total Value Exceeds That OF Cot
ton. Hay and Wheat.

Greatest of all crops is Indian corn,
the priceless gift of the Indian, who
freely gave to the white man informa-
tion which led to the production of
2,643. .00O. 900 bushels this year. The
crops of three years have exceeded
this, but only the crop of one year
1906-exceeded it very much.
The value of this crop almost sur
passes belief. 1t is $1.615. 900, 900. This
wealth that has grown out Of the soil
in four months of rain and sunshine,
and some drought, too, is enough to
cancel the interest-bearing debt of the
United States and to pay for the Pan
anna canal and so battleships.
The price Of corn is exceptionally
high. There are only two years in the
record of this department in which the
farm price OF this crop was as high as
1t is for this year. In 1881 the price
was 63.6 cents; in 1901, when there
was only two-thirds of an ordinary
crop, the price was 60.5 cents.
The total value of this crop is by
far the highest ever reached The
crop of 1902 was worth $1,000.00 900.
and the crops of 1904, 1905 and 1906
were worth $100,000,000 more; the
great increase of s3oO,OO0.Oo over the
crop Of 1902 was made in 1907, and
now the increase is 100000, equal to
the gold in the treasury of rich ma
ton.
The corn crop far exceeds in value
the prominent farm crops next below.
It ID worth nearly as much this year as
the great crops of cotton, hay and
wheat combined.
In comparison with the averages of
the preceding five years, the quantity
of the corn crop of this year is 81 per
cent. higher and the value 42.6 per
cent. higher.

surnames In Bosnia.

Bosnia is land where mans
surname very often varies according
to his religion. In the old days fami-
lies often divided their members be-
tween Christianity and Islam, SO an
to be certain to have friends ON the
winning side, much as old Scottish
families in some cases deliberately
divided themselves between Jacobite
and Hanoverian. In such Bosnian
cases. Sir Charles Eliot explains. all
representatives of the original family
recognize each other as relatives, but
generally they use different names
for the two branches. conveying the
same meaning in Slavonic and Turk
ish respectively. For example, there
are the names Raikovich and Jenetich
C"Rai" and "Jennet' both meaning
paradise). and Sokolich and Shahin-
agich ("Sokol" and "Shahin" both
meaning falcon).

COLONY HOUSE FOR

Care Of Garden AcquIred.-There
are certain general laws and princi-
pies underlying all garden work. 1t is
necessary for the gardener to master
these in order to become successful
and always meet the unexpected. It
is not enough to know simply what
plant foods are good for corn, but
what plant foods all crops require. It
is well to know how to kill cabbage
caterpillars, but it is better to know
how to kill all biting insect pests.
But when one has learned the gen
eral principles of growing plants, it is
then essential to acquire special
knowledge of special crops There are
dozen. and sometimes a hundred
small special facts. peculiar to each
garden plant A knowledge of these
special facts makes possible success
in growing special crops. Some of
these may be acquired by reading or
listening to what others say, yet they
can never be fully mastered Nll one
has had several years of actual expert
ence. They must be absorbed at first
hand to be fully appreciated.

of spring. Birds were chirping In the
hedges: now and then meadow-lark
sprang into the air and fed. crying out
its strange staccato song as it
skinned the surface Of the prafries.
Vernon idly snapped the whip as he
drove along; neither of them seemed

heard a distant, heavy thud. The
earth trembled slightly.

The pleasure of the spring had gone

There's no danger" said Vernon,
reassuringly, clucking at his horse.
and the beast flung up its head in q
spasmodic burst Of speed, as livery
stable horses will. The horse did not
have to trot very far to bear them
eway from the crack of the golf balls
and the dull subterranean echoes of
the miners blasts, but Vernon felt
that cloud had fioated all at once
over this first spring day. The woman
sitting there beside him seemed to
withdraw herself to an infinite dis
tance.
You love the country?" he asked
feeling the need Of speech.
YES" she said, but she went no
farther.
And you once lived there?"
Yes" she said again, but she vouch-
safed no more. Vernon found a deep
curiosity springing within him; he
longed to know more about this young
woman who in all outward ways
seemed to be just like the women he
knew, and yet was so essentially DIFF
ferent from them. But though he tried,
he could not move her to speak of her
own life or its affairs. At the last he
said boldly:
Tell me. how did you come to be
a lawyer?"
Miss Greene turned to meet his in
quisitive gaze.
How did you" she asked.

Rev. Perry Grant of New York

The purpose of such theater, he says,
is educational and is in keeping with
the discoveries of Froebel. who knew
that play is an instinct implanted by
nature for educational purposes.
