Quaint Injunction in Will.


The quaint testamentary Injunction
of an 18th century gardener and bot
anist was last evening observed for
the one hundred and eightieth sue
cessive year at Shoreditch parish
church, when what is known as the
vegetable lecture was preached by
the vicar, the Rev. E. r. Ford In
1923 Thomas Fairchild died at the age
of SO years, and bequeathed ELS to
the church wardens of Shoreditch,
STIMULATING that the interest should
be paid each Whit Tuesday for the
delivery by selected preacher of an
address on THE wonderful works of
God in creation, or the certainty of
the resurrection of the dead by GER
tain changes of the animal and vege-
table forms of creation" Fairchild had
extensive gardens in the days when
the Hoxton hamlet was noted for its
productions, and he introduced many
varieties of foreign fruits and flowers.
In the borough councils small public
garden in Hackney road, close to the
church, is a tombstone recording the
injunctions as to the lecture.-London

the last two years. and it looks as if
this years yield was going to be scant
also. Outside of America, Europe de-
ponds largely on the vast wheat
fields of the Argentine for her bread.
Thirty per cent. less wheat was sown
there this year than last, and it is
estimated that the yield will be 50,-
100000 bushels less. All this benefits
the American farmer.
The American farmer will get. over
s60.000.O00 more for his crop of oats
this year than he did last. In 1908
the yield was 7S9, OOO, 900 bushels, and
it sold for 1921. OO0. 900. This years
estimate is 963 600, 900 bushels, which
at the minimum price of 40 cents
bushel would bring in the huge sum
of $685., o0O. 0OO- Only about a million
and a half bushels of oats are ex-
ported Not all the rest goes to feed
horses and cattle by any means. The
100000 automobiles in this country
have cut down the number of horses
and the consumption of oats CORE
spondingly. This decrease has been
more than made up, however, by hui
man beings eating more oats than
they used to. Many of the cereal
breakfast foods are made from oats,
and their consumption in that way
cuts big figure

twelfthS of her raw cotton to foreign
lands The domestic consumption of
corn is more than keeping pace with
the huge increases in production
Millions of bushels go to feed and fat
ten the cattle and hogs whose beef
and pork, grown on the western
prairies and slaughtered in Chicago,
feed the inhabitants of every corner
of the globe. But one of the chief
uses of corn has sprung up during the
last decade and has grown into an
immense industry. Millions and mill
ions of bushels are made into glucose,
which is the basis of sugar. Most of
the candy that America eats is made
from sugar that comes from corn.
The people of this country are con-
Stunning it in other ways, too-ways
that were unthought of a few years
ago, when corn bread and mullins
were all that came out of the bakers
ovens. Al enormous number of break
fast foods are made out of corn to-
day. Almost every month sees some
new preparation of this sort. Instead
of eating corn in some form once a
week, as we used to do, we now con-
sumo hundreds of thousands of
bushels every morning at breakfast,
disguised by baking and sugaring so
that most of its resemblance to its
original form and taste has been lost.
The railroads of America spend in
prosperous times nearly a billion and
a quarter dollars a year in new equip
ment, in keeping the old in repair and
for the vast quantity of supplies that
they need. When the cars are full
and there are none idle they buy free
ly- Factories of all sorts from one
end of the country to the other work
full time and overtime to supply their
needs New lines are built, opening
up virgin territories and bringing
them nearer to the markets Wages
are good and there is work for all.

price was a little under 10 cents
pound and its total value a little
mere than $579,0O0,O0O. The indi-
Gated crop this year, according to the
governments experts reports, will be
at least 100000 bales. 1t is likely
from the present outlook that this
crop will be marketed at not less than
13 cents pound, $65 bale, $7S0, O00,-
OO0-over 5000, 100000 more than last
year with but small increase in the
yield.
The wheat crop this year will be
at least 663, 100000 bushels, and ex-
perts say that it is not likely to fall
below $1.10 a bushel for a long time
to come. That means SIPS, 200, 900
worth of wheat will soon be on the
way to the elevators. Last years
harvest was $50 700, 900 bushels, and
it brought 100000, 900, so the Ameri-
can wheat farmer will have Sos, 0O0,-
900 more to spend from that source
than he did the year before.
The reason wheat is worth more
than a dollar a bushel, which used
to be price that the farmers dreamed
of, is not because the crop in this
country is especially short. 1t is but
a little below the record crop of 1906.
But there has been a shortage in the
wheat crop all over the world for

Good Work Among Children.

According to a statement of the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis over
100000 of the 100000 school
children enrolled in the United States
have during the school year just
closed been Systematically instructed
concerning the dangers of consump-
ton and the methods for its cure and
prevention. Besides the $500, 900 chill
dren thus instructed in their schools,
the National Association estimates
that fully 100000 more have re-
ceived instructions at the various
tuberculosis exhibits held in all parts
of the country or through separate
classes and organizations.

Beside these the crops of hay, al
falfa, potatoes, tobacco and the other
products of the soil are either no less
or else far greater than usual. Elk
perts estimate that the added wealth
that these will stow away in the
pockets of the American farmer this
year will be not far from 100000, 000-
Add this to the total of the three
great cereals and cotton, and the
total is a thousand millions of dollars
the vast sum by which the national
wealth will be increased this year.
The farmer will not get it all. He
will pay out vast sums for labor, for
machinery with which to plant new
crops, for new buildings in which to
house them and his other belongings,
for luxuries and comforts which he
has gone without when crops were
poor and prices low.
Getting the crops to market will
bring the railroad and steamship lines
a tremendous flood of added revenue
over the leaner years. The farmer
no longer stores his grain in the
fields as he used to. years ago. He
sends it first to the elevators that
rear their huge bulk beside the rail-
road tracks. There he holds it until
he gets the price he thinks it ought
to bring. If he wants to borrow
money meanwhile the slip of paper
that the grain warehouse gives him
is good collateral for all he wishes.
Then when the flood of wheat and
cotton moves eastward and south
ward to the ocean gateways, where
the great ships are waiting to take
it across the seas, more money is put
into circulation, millions of it. Against
this time when the endless trains will
begin to journey to the grain ports
on the lakes or to the cotton cities
on the gulf the money for the moving
of the crops is being heaped up now
in the great financial centers of tbs
country.

"old house on High street." and only
through the recent efforts of an Ameri-
can, who is a Harvard graduate, has
the house been identified as the home
of the mother of the man who founded

found that John Harvard's mother was
Katherine Rogers, daughter of Thomas
Rogers, Standardization alderman,
but where she lived he did not know

he was one day examining the old

woman who gave John Harvard birth.
1t was through Marie Corelli, who
lives in Stratford-on-Avon, that the
house was finally purchased after hav-
ing been withdrawn from the market
because the bids were not high
enough. She was on summer cruise
on Sir Thomas Lipton's yacht when
she met Edward Morris of Chicago.
To him she confided her hope that the
house would some day belong to Har-
ward university. Immediately Mr..
Morris grew enthusiastic over the
idea. He authorized the novelist to
purchase the place for him, and in
intrusted her, moreover, with the work
of restoring the ancient building and

siderably under the actual figures

The biggest yield of corn that this
country has ever known was in 1905,
less than three billion bushels The
average price last year was a little
more than so cents a bushel. Corn
for December delivery is selling now
at 65 cents a bushel. Figuring the

SURPRISED HIM
Doctors Test of Food.

A doctor in Kansas experimental
with his boy in a test of food and
gives the particulars. He says:
81 naturally watch the effect of diff
ferent foods on patients. My own lit
tie son, a lad of four, had been i'll
with pneumonia and during his conva-
lescence did not seem to care for any
kind of food.
81 knew something of Grape-Nuts
and its rather fascinating flavor, and
particularly of its nourishing and
nerve-building powers, SO 1 started the
boy on Grape-Nuts and found from
the first dish that he liked it.
His mother gave it to him steadily
and he began to improve at once. In
less than a month he had gained
about eight pounds and soon became
SO well and strong we had no further
anxiety about him.
IAN old patient of mine, 70 years
old, came down with serious stomach
trouble and before was called had
got so weak he could eat almost moth
ing, and was in serious condition
He had tried almost every kind OF
food for the sick without avail.
81 Immediately put him on Grape
Nuts with good, rich milk and just a
little pinch of sugar He exclaimed
when I came next day Why doctor
never ate anything SO good or that
made me feel so much stronger
81 am pleased to say that he got
well on Grape-Nuts, but he had to
stick to it for two or three weeks.
then he began to branch out a little
with rice or an egg or two He got
entirely well in spite of his almost
hopeless condition. He gained %
pounds in two months which at his
age is remarkable.
