In things astronomical there is no
limit to the possib,lities-from soup
to nuts the whole bill of fare is easily
within our reach, and not spasmod-
ically but continuously. for between
every setting of the sun and the break
ing of dawn some new vegetation peeps
through old Mother Earth, and only
waits on the climatic conditions for
fruition. While every section of the
universe is favored in one or more par
ticulars here in this beloved land of

may not only thrive but in largeness Of
yield supersede all progenitors.
Referring to those early days OF
American history the story of Sir
Walter Raleighs discovery of tobacco
is familiar to very school child. For
several centuries we have been con-
tented with the original American
product and have allowed ourselves to
come to believe that the highest grades
of tobacco must of necessity be raised
in other climes. Now of all the to-
baccos that have been or are used the
connoisseur who smokes has grace
fully yielded the palm to what is COM
mercially known as Turkish tobacco;
and II is a fact that the tobacco with
the most delightful aroma has come
from the shores of the Mediterranean.
There have been efforts innumerable
to cultivate Turkish tobacco in the
United States; but to obtain the high
est quality has been impossible. While

practcablity of such tobacco culture,
and a large corporation has quietly
come into the field and in this, its in
itial year, has clealy proved its judg-
ment we'll founded.
Within a few miles of Los Angeles,
between Coegrove and Sherman, a
Turkish tobacco crop has been garnered
within the past few weeks from a 25
acre plantation that will net from $1,000
to $500 an acre. This statement is not
theoretical, but actual for the product
is where 1t can be seen and investi-
gated.
Taking the statistics of tobacco
raising states elsewhere in the United
States, an average net value for our
choicest native tobaccos is $65 an acre
for first picking and $i5 an acre for
second picking, while the Turkish
tobacco on the Sherman plantation of
the Turkish American Tobacco COM
pany is worth to SO a pound for first
picking and 81 pound for second
picking, and the gross weight an acre
is 1000 pounds. The initial cost of
breaking entirely new ground and put
ting it into condition this season has
given a somewhat high cost of produc-
tion, but the net returns an acre as
stated above will range from $1,000 to
$500.

crops each season, but this year the
first plants were not put out until

II is generally acknowledged that In
several sections of the United States
the climate is equable for tobacco cul-
ture, yet to get the same quality of to-
bacco as raised in Turkey the soil must
have the same component properties.

CUTTING ENsILAGE ON AN UP-ro-DATE CORN FARM

No more enthusiastic battle
against weather was made this
year than by the corn farmers in
Iowa. Corn is the mainstay of
that state, which hopes to take the
lead this year over Illinois in the
matter of acreage. One-fourth of
the crop will be unsatisfactory
but the balance is in AL condi-
ton. Although the crop is now
two weeks behind, due to replant-
ing during floods, the weather is
looked to by farmers to keep the
corn yield up. Without further
rain in Iowa., Illinois and north
ern Missouri, the crop can be
made" But any additional Au-
gust rains will help it greatly, be-
cause the plant is not deeply root
ed.

In Kansas and Nebraska, large
corn states, previous estimates
have seemed too high. Acreage
was considered as of March 1 by
estimators, who failed to notice
big losses by floods later in the
corn season. Despite these condi-
tons, the yield for Kansas and
this state will be about 04,OOO,-
600 bushels, with acreages of T.
$4,000 and 100000 in Kansas
and Nebraska respectively. These
figures on yield are based on high
averages in these states for 10
years past, as the condition of
the crop is amove normal. These
averages of yield per acre for 10
years have been 29.9 bushels for
Kansas and 34.1 for this state.

Great Britain, France, Russia and

Prince George of Greece was the

A series of wars distinguished

revolt crushed, he appointed a
Hoslem military governor over the
Christian civil governor.
War broke out again in 1894,
when the Turkish military COVER

speedily became worse, however,
and a new revolt started in 1896
which caught the sympathy of
Greece, and resulted in war be-
