DOSTON.-The baby that is born in
ID Buenos Ayres has a better chance
OF living than if it had been born in
any other of the worlds large cities.
In Amsterdam it would find figures
more in its favor; but Amsterdam is
not so big a town.
In the United States Boston has
been the best place to be born if you
want to stand a good chance of llv-
ing to be at least a year old. In 30
years Boston has not averaged one
death out Of FIVE babies born during
the year.
Back in 1882 it came close to that
average when 1914 infants less than
year old died in every 1000. But in
1887 there were less than 100, in 1891
the number went below $50, in 1898 it
passed the 10 mark, in 1896 the 100
mark, in 1898 the $50 mark, and in
1909 it sank abruptly to 115 per 1000.

Texas continues to raise some
things which are very much to her
credit and advantage. Among them
are big crops. This year the Lone
Star state will distinguish herself
especially by the corn yield. The
latest estimate by the Texas agricul.
tural bureau is 21O,OOOOOO bushels,
against 122,5OO,OOO bushels last year
and O1,O0O0OO bushels in 1908, the
latter being an exceptional output.
The agricultural resources of Texas
are enormous, and the grain harvest
is but one part of the business. The
state is beating Bermuda in early
onion growing, raises some Of the best
and earliest potatoes in the market
and supplies other vegetables. In
fact, it is doing its part in showing
that the natural resources of the
