Columbia, Mo-Missouri has more
farms than any other state in the
union. Within her borders are 2S4,-
SS6 farms, which average 100 acres
to the farm. The improved land to
each farm averages rs acres.- or 62h
per cent. These figures are based on
fhe last census report. According to
the report of the commerce and labor
5ureau the farms of Missouri are worth
s34.75 an acre.
Among the states of the middle west
Missouri has smaller farms than many
of them. Ohio Is an exception, where
$4,000 farms only average IS acres
each. Illinois has 264 ,000 of ia acres
each Iowa has 22S, 900 farms Of 151
acres each; Kansas. $4,000 of 22S
acres. In the United States farms
average 146 acres, but only SO per
cent. is improved land.
T. B Mumford, professor of animal
h<sbandry in the University Of Mis-
souri,, has prepared some interesting
facts about the amount of livestock
there is on an average Missouri farm
This is considered a great mule state,
and yet there are four times as many
horses as there are mules in Missouri.
The equipment, as Prof. Mumford
gives it, is Is cattle, four horses, one
mule, 2G hogs, five sheep and a frae-
ton of goat.
Fully one-third of the states popu-
lation depends directly or indirectly
upon animal products for their exis
fence, said Prof Mumford in discuss
ing Miss@uri as a livestock state. "The
income from animals and animal prod.
hcts is $130,000,000 annually. Fifty
five per cent of the farmers have their
principal income from livestock. In
fact. more than $500 100000 are IN
vested in farms, livestock and equip.

EVILS NOT CONFINED TO TIE
SOUTH.

SOUTH.
Most Of the newspapers that have
commented upon the Cairo riot and
lynching failed to point out that the
Iynching Of negroes isn't confined to
the South, gays The Savannah News.
Many Of the newspapers Of the North
seem to take pleasure in conveying
the impression, whenever a negro Is
lynched in the South. that only in this
section Of the country is a negro ever
the victim OF mob law. We do not
assert that they do this deliberately.
II Is probable that they really believe
that because the South Is virtually
the home Of the negro. and also be
cause there are perhaps more negroes
lynched in the South than In other
parts Of the country, 1t Is only in
the South that negroes are lynched.
They should keep track Of the lynch
ings, SO as not TO mislead their read,
ers. 33e
1t is probable that there are as
many negroes lynched In the North
in proportion to the negro population
there as there are in the South. And
some Of the most brutal and savage
of these lynchings have been In that
section The riot at Cairo was a par
ticularly blOodthirsty one. After kill.
ing and burning the negro criminal
the mob sought a white prisoner,
charged with numbering his wifea
prisoner who protested his innocence
TO the lest--and lynched him. While
we have had some savage negro lynch
ings here In the South we have had
none that exceeded in barbarity the
lynching at Wilmington. Del. and the
race riot at Springfield. o.
It isn't our purpose to excuse the
occasional Iynchlngs in the South by
referring to those in the North. We
mention them simply to impress upon
the public mind that a negro stands
no better chance to escape mob VIC
lence in the North when he has pro.
voked the mob spirit by his crimes
than he does in the South. All lynch.
ings are to be condemned In the
strongest terms, not only because they
tend 70 break down the barriers
which protect society, but also be-
cause innocent men are likely to be-
come the victims Of a mob. We have
courts and the punishment Of crimi-
nails should be left TO them.
And I'm this connection we desire
to call attention to other evils which
the Northern press seems to be dis
posed to saddle upon the South.
When Mr. Rockefeller announced a
gift of 100000 with which TO fight
the hookworm disease the Northern
papers called Il the lazy disease, aud
immediately set about creating Che
impression that It was confined to the
South. Even when the talk OF pella-
gra began readers OF the Northerr pa
pers could hardly help getting the I'm.
piesslon that II was a disease Of tho
South.
Now Il IL appearing that the hook
worm disease Is widespread and II Is
known that there Is about as much
pelIagra IA the North as there Is In
the South. The South has her share
OF all Of these evils. but not more than
her share. and II is unjust TO her to
create. through carelessness or other
wise, the impression that she has
more OF these evils to contend with
than any other section OF the coun-
try. All the South asks Is a square
deal II given that she win be able
20 take care OF herself
