NEW FARMING

"Higher prices must prevail 10 or.
der to develop the potential agricul.
tural resources of the country" de-
clares Professor Homer G.. Price of
Ohio state university, in the Popular
Science Monthly.
This is not consoling to the city
dwellers with whom the present high
cost of living is a daily problem. But
1t is the factor, according to Professor
Price. that will hasten the solution of
the most important problem before the
American farmer-the reorganization
Of farming methods that the changes
In agricultural conditions are making
absolutely necessary"
From the beginning American farm.
ing has been extensive rather than in
tensive. This was natural, and in.
deed inevitable, In q country where
land has been more abundant than
labor. Under such conditions there
is more profit in small yields per acre

small acreage closely titled.
The acre yield of American farms ia
proverbially email. For instance, of
wheat, the universal crop, the Ameri-
q acre yield for the decade ended
with 1907 averaged but 1879 bushels,
while in France it was 20.8, ia Ger.
many 26.4 and 10 the United Kingdom
1926 bushels.
The change toward greater acre
yield, which becomes not only posi-.
BILE but necessary as population be-
comes deuser, has only just barely
begun in this country. 1t will have
to be quickened, for population is
growing as fast as farm acres.
In 1900 we had, in round figures,
1888, DOC, 900 farm acres TO rs, 900, 600
people, or eleven farm acres a person.
Since 1900 We have added about l5,-
O0O, 900 farm acres, but we have also
added all OF l5,009, 900 people. Our
farm acres, per person, have sunk to
1O.5 acres Or less. 1t is evident that
the acre yield must be increased for
food prices to decline or even stop
rising.
BY the methods OF fifty years ago it
would take two weeks work by every
man aged Is to 45 years to harvest our
present wheat crop. Yet because of
labor-saving machinery and other
causes the percentage of farming to
total population has fallen from Al }
In 1889 to 1871 ia 1900 and is probably
lower now. There are not enough
farmers to keep food prices down.
Professor Price boldly asserts that
there are not enough because the pro
fits OF farming have not, until lately
been proportionate to the profits OF
other iEdustries-.hat the gains Of
farmers until lately have been rather
from increase of land values than
from operating profits. II he is cor
rect in his computation that farming
has mo- returned, until lately, more
than current wages and 6 per cent on
the investment /. is evident that farm
operation has not been highly prof.
table, and we see why the boys left the
farm.
Higher prices for farm products will
draw more people to the soil and keep
more there. With this will come q
higher acre yield and al equalizing
ad justment of profits. But city
jewellers must not expect to be- able to
live as lavishly and wastefuIly as in
the past.-Iuter Ocean.

THE CABBAGE INDUSTRY
COLORADO.

Among the many prOIltaDle aSif
cultural industries in Colorado the
cabbage industry has made as good
a showing in the past ten years as
any of them. The only objection
tendency toward great fluctuation
in prices from year to year.
In making inquiries of the grow
ers in regard to the possibilities in
cabbage growing many growers have
told us that they could not afford
to grow cabbage because there are
years when the price is not above
twenty-five cents a hundred. Care
full investigation, however, shows
that cabbage may be grown for TWEEN
profit. The average price during
any ten years period, however, will
show that the receipts for the crop
at selling time have been nearly
twice that. When we come to com
pare this crop with the other agricul-
tural industries such as beets or po-
tatoes, we find that the average
price is not only good, but that the
cost of production is decidedly lower
than either of the above mentioned
products.
The cabbage may be grown on
nearly all soils and in quite diver
sity of climates. The mountain
states, however, are better adapted
to this crop because of the cooler
nights than the lower attitudes where
the temperature averages higher
during the summer months.
The culture of cabbage in Colo
RADIO is comparatively simple, yet
the plants are rather exacting in
have an abundance of fertility, par
ticularly in the way of nitrogenous
fertilizers. The grower should never
forget that leaf growth Is the end
to be attained and that the leaf
growth is fostered by an abundance
of nitrogen.
Moisture control is another factor
that must be considered. While the
cabbage will stand considerable
abuse, it must not be too dry or too
wet in order to make the desired
yields If the soil is too dry, the
plants stop growth and form small
loose heads, and are more subject
to the attacks of plant lice. On the
other hand, if the soil is saturated
with water, the plants will become
yellow and stop growing. Constaat
cultivation, to keep the soil well
aerated, is probably the most impor-
tant item in the culture of the crop.
Growers who have had no exper-
ience with this crop usually think
that it is an expensive one because
of the necessity of transplanting the
plants in the field. In practice this
is not an expensive item. Where
irrigation is practiced SO that the
plants may be set and quickly fol-
lowed by water. two men or two boys
are frequently able to set from eight
to twelve thousand plants, or prac-
tically an acre a day.
For the late crop, seed should be
sown about the middle of May and
the plants should be ready to set
in from four to six weeks from
sowing.
We believe for the careful grower
who is expecting to get large returns
from the land and who is not too
far distant from shipping facilities.
the cabbage industry in Colorado Is
one of the best things that can be
taken up.

DENVER VOTES ON
LIQUOR

Denver, Colo. May ia bitter
and spectacular prohibition fight will
be decided at the spring election to-
morrow when the voters of Denver
will cast their ballots for or against
the saloon. 1t will be the first 10
cal option election ever held in this
city. When the discussion of dry
Denver was first started, it was not
believed possible that a petition could
be secured through voluntary work
ers that would carry sufficient
number of names to insure the ques-
ton being put on the ballot. But
the young peoples societies, the fed
Grated churches, and the anti-saloon
people set to work with a will and
secured nearly 10000 signatures to
the petition During the campaign
which closed today noted prohibition
speakers from outside the city have
been heard While there are few
unbiased onlookers who believe that
Denver will go dry" at this cleo
ton there are many of the opinion
that the present battle will pave the
way for future success.
Among the special issues to be
voted on at the election the water
question stands next to the liquor
question in public interest and prob
ably comes first in Importance. For
a number of years the city has Sc
cured it's water supply through the
Denver Union Water company, which
is today the largest waterworks sys-
tenn in the west. The contract under
which it operates provides that at
the termination of it's franchise,
which occurred last year, the city
either purchase the plant through
condemnation proceedings on an ar
bitration board or it can extend the
franchise for twenty years. However,
the city decided to let the people vote
on a proposition to issue bonds for
the construction of new water
plant to be owned by the municipal
ity. This proposition the water COM
pany is fighting on the ground that
it is illegal The opposition is led
by David Moffat, the millionaire cap
italist, who is the principal stock
holder of the water company.

San Franciscans are once more en-
joying sporting life in the full mean

Operator Goodyear, of the West
ern Union, is back in Wenatchee,
after spending his vacation in the
city by the Golden Gate. He states
that things are doing there and that
gambling houses are being run abso-
lutely wide open. Strangers are free
to enter anywhere. and there seems
to be no fear of the police. He
stayed at the st. Francis and found
one of the largest tin-horn empori-
ums running there he ever saw. One
man lost $4,000 at the faro bank
while he was watching.
Saw MOran-McC arthy Fight.
Mr. Goodyear attended the Moran
Mccarthy fight. Regarding it he
states that Mccarthy was plainly out
classed and that there was no ac-
counting for allowing such an ILL
matched pair of fighters in the ring,
especially in a place like Frisco,
where either man could have been
exactly matched. When Mccarthy
was knocked out everyone seemed to
think that he would soon be all right
so no special alarm was shown. Many
OF the audience crowded to the ring
side and were driven back by the
police. Mccarthy looked to be as
stir as a corpse when being carried
out
While sentiment was greatly
aroused at the time, the present indi-
cations are that public feeling will
not be too strong to prevent the big
fight on the Fourth of July
Likes Wenatchee Best.
Mr.. Goodyear states that men in
his line are being employed in Frisco
as fast as they appear, but that for
himself he preferred to return to his
old place here.

are many reasons. The genuine old

He is recrul' ed from the bank, the

does know the difference between free
gold and iron pyrites and he has the
knack Of using the pan.
"Alaska caught and killed many a
