cosr OF PRODUCING WHEAT.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has
experts at work to determine the
cost of producing bushel of wheat.
These experts took everything into
consideration. including the rent OF
the land, the depreciation in farm ma
chinery, the labor, the seed and all.
They found that it costs s1.25 to grow
an acre of wheat, and as an acre of
wheat, average yield, produces 12.4
bushels, the cost per bushel is placed
at about sixty cents According to
their figures it is necessary to grow
9.7-S bushels per acre to pay ex-
penses and that all grown above that
belongs to profit. The average yield
is now only a little over twelve
bushels. but good farming, with rota-
ton of crops. the experts say ought to
increase that yield to twenty-four
bushels, or twenty-six bushels. 1t all
depends on the kind of soil, but still
more on the kind of treatment that
the soil receives. The secretary OF
agriculture says that it is a question
of farming with brains as well as with
hands.

STATUE oE CHEZ MALAYSIA.

A statue of Chief Mahaska, the In
dian after whom Mahaska county,
Iowa. was named, was unveiled at Os-
kaloosa yesterday. The statue was
presented to the city of Oskaloosa and
Mahaska county by ]. D. Edmundson
in memory of his father, who or
ganized Mahaska county. The unveii-
ing ceremonies were in charge OF the
Improved Order of Red Men. Major
John F. Lacey delivered the speech OF
presentation and Major S. H. M. Byers
of Des MONIES read a poem entitled
"Chief Mahaska.' A chorus of fifty
BOYS in Indian costume participated
and Carl Kuehnle of Denison made the
sneech of acceptance in behalf of the
city.
The statue is of bronze, the work OF
an Iowa artist, Sherry Fry of Creston,
and is the first unveiled to an Indian.
Mahaska was a chief of the loway
Indians, a tribe now extinct. He ruled
the tribe during the first quarter OF
the last century and led his warriors
in several clashes with the Sioux and
Osapes. He was, however, noted for
his friendliness towards the whites
He was murdered in 1884 on the banks
of the Nodaway river by an Indian
whose grievance was that Mahashs
had not protected him against arfes'
for raid on another trloe.

Our National Fruit.

How grand are the scenes when sweet |
spring is unfolding
And loveliest pictures are opened to
view,
And shining in splendor for eyes then
beholding
The forests and fields robes of beau
ty renew.
Then warmly we welcome the song
sters of morning
While singing glad praises for ad-
vent of spring.
With buds and bright blossoms the
orchards adjoining
Awakening our hopes of the harvest
to bring
The red rosy apple, the bright
golden apple,
The ripe luscious apple, of all fruit
the king.
The fading of bloom when fulfilling its
mission,
Gives speed to our toll in the light
of good cheer,
Inspiring our zeal for fullest fruition
For picking in days when the har-
vest is near;
We gather the fruit with an exquisite
pleasure,
In tasting its flavors how closely we
cling,
And sending to others rich gains OF
our treasure
We echo the chorus and gleefully
sing:
The red rosy apple, the bright
golden apple,
The ripe luscious apple, of all
fruit the king.
We choose the sweet bloom for the
flower of our nation,
To reign with our banner wherever
unfurled.
And ruling DER homes in the power o.
its station,
Tie light of its blessings will shine
through the world,
And, rising in heights of the grandes
promotion,
The sway of its sceptre will speed
on the wing,
Till swelling all DER land, and ia
DER the ocean.
In strains Of sweet music it's ca
dence shall ring:
The red rosy apple, the brigh
golden apple,
The ripe luscious apple, of all frui
the king.

The figures of the population of the
United States at the decennial CEN
suses as supplied by the census bu-
reau show the total number of negroes
in the year 1900 as 1000, 600, speaking
in round terms, and in 1900, S,S41, 600.
The negroes formed in 1900, 1888 per
cent of the population; in 1910, 1903
per cent; in 1850, 1868 per cent; in
1860, 1412 per cent; in 1880, 1911 per
cent; in 1890, 1872 per cent; and in
1900, 11.59 per cent. 1t will be noted
from this exhibit that there has been
a steady decrease in the number of
negroes, compared with the number
of whites, during the past one hun
dred years and that their per cent of
the population is now only a little
more than one-half what it was early
in the last century.

TROLLEY LINES IN MISSOURI

Within less than two years it is
stated that the steam roads in Mis-
souri, will be confronted with sit
uation such as those in Ohio and In
diana have had to face for some time.
That state, it is declared, is about to
be grdironed with trolley lines,
which will be in the field both for pas
senger and freight traffic. Applica-
tons have been made to the depart
ment of public highways of Missouri
by the promoters of these electric
lines for leave to build system which
is designed TO cover the state. Inc
legislature of Missouri also has been
approached and viii be asked for the
passage of an act to empower the use
OF twenty feet Of pubic highways along
the sides of which it is proposed TO
run these lines. the electric companies
10 be required to macadamize all roads
along which they run 1t is intimated
mat the enterprise is backed by the
same interests that were active in
furnishing Indiana with its present
system of traction lines.
