Corners years ago when he blurred a
playmate into shooting off his thumb,
then coolly walked home and without

Moreover, the man owns two demo

Murphy admits that II would be un-

really king. In spite of the agricultural
statisticians, the corn crop is not Uncle
Sans greatest. Figured on a cash
basis of dollars and cents even, it must
give place to the countrys one greatest
and most essential product, thar Is
the baby crop. Based on the latest fig-
ures compiled by a Boston economist
the baby crop for 1910 will be worth
the enormous sum of $4,sS7 ,O00. 900.
Even figured on the basis OF former
valuations, now acknowledged to be too
low, the figure would amount to nearly
81, 800, 600, 600.
Nor are these figures fanciful or
based on sentimental values. They
represent as nearly as possible the
economic value to the United States.
based on potential productive capacity,
OF the 2,26O.000 babies which 1t is esti-
mated will constitute this years crop.
According TO the fastest figures the
value Of each newcomer Is 1862 pound,
or $2.172 for the average 6-pound
youngster, giving a total value OF
nearly $5,OOO.00O.OOO or nearly three
times that or the corn crop.
Detailed information concerning the
baby crop, it's. distribution, variation

more interesting AS might be expect :
ed New York, because of it's greater
population, produced the greatest mum
Der of babies of any one state last
year with 200, S65, or nearly tenth
of the total. IT was not, however, the
leading state if the increase in babies
to each 1000 of the population be taken
into account. Figured on this basis
North Dakota heads the list with 36.5
births, closely followed by Utah with
35.2, Oklahoma with 33.7 and Texas
with 1928. At the other end of the list
come Maine with 1916 and New Hainp-
shire with 1S. But in spite of the low
ratio for the New England states. the
figures show that the proportionate in
crease over the preceding decade was
greater there than in any other group
Of states. In general terms, however,
the figures indicate that the west is
the best territory for babies, Just as
1t is the biggest corn producer. No
hard and fast rule can be laid down
because of the seemingly unexplain-
able discrepancies which occur, as for
instance in the case of West Virginia
and Virginia. The excess of the birth
rate over the death rate in the former
Is 2s4 per 1000 population, while Ia
the latter it is only 7.
Perhaps the most anamolous feature
concerning the baby crop IL that while
II continues to increase. the size of the
average family is decreasing. IN 1870

average family was 81 persons In

Of the figures here. In a word Uncle
Sam is saving his babies, and the man
ner in which he Is doing 1t is one of
the most remarkable stories of progress
ever written.
There is, of course, no federal secre-
tary of infants, such as the secretary
of agriculture who advises farmers in
thousands of pamphlets yearly con-
earning the best methods to pursue in
raising crops. But all over the coun-
try in laboratories and universities
thousands of physicians are carrying
on the fight in behalf of the baby crop.
Experiments on animals form the basis
of all this advance, for since the dis
covery of anaesthetics and aseptic sur
gerry results have been obtained which
otherwise would have been impossi-
BILE. Already many diseases have been
conquered by this means which a gem
eraCion ago were the terror of mothers
Just how results obtained along these
lines have benefited the baby crop may
be shown by a concrete illustration.
Thirty years ago, according to figures
collected by the census bureau, diph-
iberia caused one death out of about
every nineteen that occurred Mortal
ity from this cause among children un-
der years was enormous and the dis
ease ranked third as a cause of death.
More than $4,000 persons died of it In
1880. But in 1900, in spite of the
greatly increased population, the deaths
caused by diphtheria, according to the
census figures, were only 10,504, or
about one-fifth of what they would
have been on the 1880 basis. Out of
more than 100000 children under 5
, years only about 5000 or one in 1900,
died from this former scourge AS a
result diphtheria has now fallen from
third to twentieth place as a cause of
DEATH
Similar figures might be given Of
other diseases. such as small .pox,
meningitis, yellow fever and many
others which once ravaged the baby
crop but which now, as a result of in
formation gained by experiments on
animals, are robbed OF their terrors.
1t is stated on high authority that
the discovery of the diphtheria anti
toxin has resulted in the annual saw
ing of 1900 lives in New York city
alone. Proportionately for the whole
country the annual saving of life is
many times this number Curiously
enough while diphtheria has undoubt
eddy existed for thousands of years,
the chemical nature of the anti toxin
by which 1t Is subdued Is lot known.
We cannot tell except by tests
on animals whether a given serum
las much little or no anti toxin in IT.
The governments of the world, there
fore require that every producer shall
test ON animals the antitoxic strength
Of the serum sent out from his esta.b-
lishment. The nntitoxin must not
only be produced for us BY animals but
must be tested upon them and without
sucn tests its use could not be contin-
ued.
While the experiments which led to
the discovery OF this anti-toxin were

!" "SUNKIST' NAVEL ORANGES ARE SEEDLESS

the manner in which the study of the
effect of various NEGOTIATIONS on an
finals has benefited tae human race,
particularly the child Roux, at The
Pasteur Institute in Paris, studied the
nature of the diphtheria toxin and
found that very violent poison. was
given off from the bacilli growing in
bouillon. This can be filtered off
from the bacteria and has peculiar
properties. Starting from earlier stud +
les, Won Behring experimental upon the
effect Of injecting small but, increas-
ing doses Of this toxin into animals,
and discovered the remarkable facts
that these animals become absolutely
immune to the poison and that their
blood. not only contains an antidote
for the poison, but contains this anti
dote in such large amounts that a lit
tie of the blood serum transferred to
another animal will protect it from
infection by the NEST virulent diph-
liberia. bacill.i When In test tube
small amounts of this protective So
rum are added to large amounts of
the toxin, 1t is found that the poison is
completely neutralized SO that it has
no more deleterious effects than water
When injected into animals this anti
toxic serum was found to protect them
against infection for a number of
weeks. The serum was then injected
into a few children, suffering from
dipntheria, with beneficial results. 1t
was found also to protect them, as in
the case of animals, from infection.
Its use became more and more general
SO that at the present time 80 per
cent Of all cases OF diphtheria are
treated with it, with an annual saving
In Europe and America of something
over 100000 lives.
In other fields work has been and is
being carried on along similar lines.
By means of experiments on animals
greater and greater mastery is being
obtained over the diseases which
would otherwise be uncomfortable
An increasing baby crop is of course
an economic necessity and many of the
benefits of animal experimentation are
therefore most directly appreciated
through, their protection Of children.
But here again an analogy may be
drawn between the baby crop and the
corn crop. In neither instance is 1t a
question of single croo. 1t is the
future which counts and makes the
necessity of considering coming crops
paramount. Improvement in the gem
eral health of parents means health
Ter babies, and 1t is for this reason
that all over the country research is
being carried on looking toward the
mastering of diseases not alone pecu-
liar to infancy but affecting all ages.
1t takes no great amount of acumen
to predict an annual $4,000, OOO. 900
baby crop for this country in the, near
future. Anyone who thinks this value
fictitious or sentimental. holding that
corn is bought and sold for so much
bushel, while babies are practically
never dealt in for money considera-
tons, has only to remember that ifsit
were not for the bab. crop, all the
agricultural products and the output
of mills, mines and factories would
not be worth cent. So after all, aside
from sentimental values, the baby crop
is easily the country's greatest in cold
cash, and therefore doubIy worth con-
serving.
