"Your Income"
u the North American Review

from the North American hevleV.
AS gold is q commodity. it must obey
the general law Of supply and demand.
and that law alone governs its interest
rate. If one confines himself to interest
rates on bonds or loans payable at a dis
tant date, it must be evident that per-
son who believes in the cumulative theory
of money, and also believes t..at the gold
production will increase, will naturally
not buy bonds, but will buy equities.
Therefore, people who desire to issue
bonds must pay an increased rate of In
terest to get their money, SO as to COM
pensate an investor for taking the risk
Of an increased production of gold and
consequent rise in prices.
In the writer's opinion, one must come
to the conclusion that SO long as gold
continues to increase in production as 1t
has in the past ten years one cannot get
away from deciding that the best chance
of a return on his capital Is an invest
ment In equities-that is to say. he must
place his money where the investment
will carry the equity with 1t.
1t Is q most serious question, and ought
to be treated by our national govern
ment: otherwise, at the rate Of increase
Of the gold production, 1t will not be long
before the principal countries Of the world
will appoint monetary commissions to
deal with the question Of gold as they
were obliged to deal with the silver ques-
ton.

If twice that amount were mentioned as

recognized as marking the change which

SOLVES PROBLEM OF MAKING
OLD FARM LAND PROFITABLE
Tract Near Brentwood Bought Four Years
Ago by w. Charles Heitmuller for $50
an Acre Is Now Worth 500.

, Of the "farmed-out' district, is located
tho house Of reformation for incorrigible
colored boys. Forty years ago, said Mr..
Heitmuller, the entire state farm Of sey-
eral hundred acres belonging to the in
stitution grounds was q veritable "farmed-
OUT waste. Today the land shows what
capable and energetic men can do. In
1870 the land was declared unproductive.
In the 7Os Baltimore had not become ia
mtliar with the electric trolley, and street
cars were propelled by horses and mules.
The management Of the reformatory Sc
cured the privilege Of using the manure
from the car stables and also began to
buy lime for the land. Then 1t began
to give the ground scientific treatment
with fertiltzer, and today 1t IL in high
state Of cultivation. 1t is really an agri-
cultural oasis in the midst Of an agri-
cultural land desert. One can readily
SEQ that It only cost knowledge and eff
fort to reclaim 1t. Today the visitor
from Washington will find that the farm
is producing enough to feed about 300
hungry, hardy negro boys on the very
fat Of the land. Besides this, 1t is SELL
ing products to assist in the maintenance
Of the institution.

W. Charles Heitmuller, who owns
tract of land in Prince George county.
Md. near the village of Brentwood. has.
it is declared. apparently solved the
problem offered by abandoned farm lands
in Maryland. Mr.. Heitmuller belongs
to family that is we'll known for the
practical results 1t has secured from TILL
ing the soil, all Of its members having
market gardening.
The tracts proximity to Washington
gives the land a value as q possible fu-
ture addition to the city, regardless OF
its lack Of productive qualities when pur-
chased by Mr.. Heitmuller, but it is the
same sort Of land that In Maryland gen
orally is regarded as unproductive ana
comparatively valueless.
Mr.. Heitmuller bought the land about
four years ago at $50 an acre. 1ntellt-
gent treatment and scientific methods OF
cultivation have increased the value, be-
cause of its increased productiveness, to
500 an acre. This value has no refer
ence whatever to the possibility OF its
becoming some day 2 part of the great
National Capital.
Raises Fine Cantaloupes.
When Mr.. Heitmuller bought the farm
the land hardly produced even weeds
Last year thirty acres of 1t produced
5000 crates Of cantaloupes that In the
Washington, Philadelphia and New York
markets brought twice as much money
as New Jersey fruit. Indeed, while the
New Jersey cantaloupes were selling at
from IS cents to $50 q crate. those from
the Heitmuller garden in Maryland readily
brought from Sc to $3.50 q crate.
Mr.. heitmuller reports that this waste
land In Maryland, right uhder the shadow
of the dome Of the nation CAPITOL aDan-
doned for years because OF Its unpi o.
ductiveness, Is now producing 100 crates
of cantaloupes to the acre, that Drlng ~
per cent more In price than the pest
grown in New Jersey and elsewhere. ana
they were not grown In the bottom iand,
but on the upland. Mr.. Heitmuiler also
says that he is raising other crops TO
correspond on his land.
The lands that now are offered at
nominal prices, due to impoverishment by
reason of continuous farming without re-
punishment of the elements that contrib
ute to plant growth. have only to De
treated intelligently, declares Mr.. Heit-
muller, to make them yield abunoantly.
However. Mr.. Heitmuller's achievement
not as easy as 1t may sound to the
ordinary reader. From him 1t was
learned that he spent three years ex-
perimenting before he perfected the seed
ne believed would be adapted to the soil.
and he learned, ne says, now to treat the
soil in a way to increase Its productive
powers.
