PLANTATION OF the failing on in exports

Il have demonstrated that this
country might easily double its wheat
yield per acre and maze similar
gain In the quantity OF everything
produced from the land, 1t requires
better cultivation, smaller farms,
study Of soils and their adaptation TO
! different forms OF pan life. rotation
OF crops, selection Of seed as careful
ais that which the breeder gives ~
the parentage Of animals, and proper
| Fertilization. BY these methods. from
rs to 40 bushels Of wheat per acre
and corresponding yield Of other
crops are now being obtained. II all
our farmers could be educated to the
same point, Is bushels Of wheat would
be only fair crop; but this on our
present acreage would give ms snr
plus of 400,0n0.O0a bushels for export.
Plenty at home and balance to
draw on abroad would transform orr
outlook, at present far from reassur-
ing. The game Is In our own hands.

to those In the United States. AT the
beginning Of this administration there
were classified coal lands amounting to
5,4i6,0O0 acres, and there were with
drawn from entry for purposes OF
classification 1T,S67.0O0 acres. Since
that time there have been withdrawn
by my order from entry for classtfica.
ton 7764S00O acres. making total
withdrawal or 95,515,Co0 acres.
Meantime Of the acres thus with
drawn 11.371,0 900 have been classified
md found not to contain coal and have
been restored to agricultural entry, and
4.356,000 acres have been classified as
coal lands. while 797ss,0Oo acres re-
main withdrawn from entry and await
classification. In addition 336otp
Eacres nave been classified as coal lands
without rrior withdrawal, thus in
creasiug the classified coal lands 20
| 10,1GS.000 acres.
The present congress, as already
| said, has separated the surface of'coal
lands, either classified or withdrawn
for classification, from the coal be-
meath, SO as TO permit at all times
homestead entries upon the surface
of lands useful for agriculture and 20

The question which, remains to be
considered is whether the existing law
for the sale of the coal In the ground
should continue in force or be repealed
and a new method Of disposition adopt.
ed.
Under the present law the absolute
title In the coal beneath the surface
passes to the grantee Of the govern
ment.
The price fixed Is upon an estimated
amount of the tons of coal per acre
beneath the surface, and the prices are
fixed so that the earnings will only be
reasonable profit upon the amount
paid and the investment necessary
But, Of course. this, Is more or less
guesswork. and the government parts
with the ownership OF the coal In the
ground absolutely.
Authorities OF the geological survey
estimate that IN the United States 10.
day there IL supply OF about three
thousand billions of tons OF coal and
that OF this one thousand billions are
In the public domain. or course the
other two thousand billions are within
private ownership and under no more
control as TO the use or the prices at
which the coal may be sold than any
other private property.
IL the government leases the coal
lands and acts as any landlord would
and Imposes conditions In it's leases
like those which are now imposed by
the owners In fee Of coal mines In the
various coal regions Of the east. then II
would retain over the disposition Of

MAKE BROktRLAUGH
Mirthful When Dining Room
MementOes Lead TO Arrest
for Petty Larceny

Laughing merrily, if somewhat aIco-
holicly, at his plight in being pris-
oner, Walter H. Sherburne. mining
broker with Offices in the Mills build
ing, was before Police Judge ShOrtalI
yesterday morning on q charge OF
petty larceny. With Sherburne in the
dock was Augustus NJ. Jones, a broker
in the Clunie building. who was up on
charge of defrauding the driver of
taXicab out of $3.50 Thursday night.
When Jones was asked his business and
he replied broker, Sherburne who had
been doing, aroused himself with a
deep bass chuckIe.
This is a great day for brokers'" he
laughed. Jones joined him in the laugh
ing chorus, and the entire courtroom
chuckled in unison.
Sherburne was in Oakland Thursday
evening Returning on the ferry he
declared that some one had taken his
gloves and went to the harbor station
TO report the alleged theft He was
searched at the station and not only
the gloves. but couple of spoons and
napkin with the Southern Pacific
name upon them were found in his
pocket.
He was discovered laughing heartily
in the police court yesterday morning.
What are you laughing at?'' de-
manded Judge ShortaH. sternly
Il can't help it, I must laugh; it's so
funny replied the prisoner.
On the suggestion of Deal & Deal
Sherburne's attorneys. that the case
would be settled amicably, Sherburne
was excused until today. Laughingly
he left the courtroom.
