the conclusion that it would have the

mules could disport themselves after
a hard days work.
The scheme has just been tried and
voted a success.

as they were on the day they en-

Twenty million dollars in common

Appropriation Bill of Congress Carries This Big Sum
Cotton Standard Samples Soon to Be Ready

WASHINGTON, D. C.-This years
agricultural appropriation bill con-
tains many interesting items for the
southern farmer, carrying a total APP
preparation of more than $13,000,-
600, and there is included $4,000
for the purchase of additional cotton
samples to comply with the recent
act on this subject. Secretary Will
son is authorized by the existing law
to fix the standards for certain
grades of cotton, and to prepare sets
of samples which will illustrate these
standards.
The Bureau of Animal Industry
will receive $1,404,060; plant indus
try, $1,700,000; the forest service,
$5,000,000; Bureau of Soils, $231,-

During the next few days Secre-
tary Wilson will probably be able to
supply cotton buyers throughout the
country with the sets of standards
recently authorized by law These
sets will each contain nine samples
of cotton, and will be packed in
well-made box manufactured under
the supervision of Secretary Wilson.
With the box there will also be a
so perfect in all respects,
that any person, no matter how ig-
norant, may, when having cotton for
sale, compare his samples with these
government-made samples, and thus
be able to tell, at a moments no.
tice, just what his samples will score.
The photograph, as perfect and accu-
rate, will prevent any deception or
fraud, it is believed, by INSCRIPTIONS
buyers.
These sets of samples will be sold
first at $35 each, but it is hoped that
With ma short time the price will be
reduced to $25.

VAST DARKNESS HIGH ABOVE.
All Light Is Absorbed in the Ocean
of Space High Up.

A black and remarkable inter-
stellar region has been discovered
through observations taken by tie
balloon flying staff of the weather
bureau at Washington and by scient-
lists abroad. Prof Moore, chief OF
the weather bureau, who is head of
the National Geographic Society as
well, has advised the house commit
tee on agriculture that during the
past summer months eve found
warm patches of air far above the
earth"
I'VE have found" said Prof.
Moore, AS result of sending up
these balloons-and our observations
are verified abroad--one of the most
wonderful things in meteorology.
All our physics have assumed that
temperature gradually decreases with
elevation until in outer space there
is no temperature. We sent up bal
looms above the storm stratum, which
is six miles deep, rising and falling
with the seasons.
Above the storm stratum there
is an entirely different atmosphere
floating upon the storm element like
oil on water with an easterly We
locity of only half the lower air.
From the storm stratum up through
this there is a slight rise in tempera-
ture. We call it an equally heated
strauum-the isothermal In this
constant air ocean there are no storm
eddies; in it the minutest rays of
light are absorbed. We are living
in thin skin of air Illuminated, and
all the rest between us and the sun
is darkness"

SAYS THAT We EAT TOO MUCH
NOVEL EXPLANATION OF HIGH
COST OF LIVING.
Prof. Whitney Says Productivity Has
Not Kept Pace With Growth
OF Appetite.


OF Appetite.
THE secretary of agriculture has
for years been calling attention to
the increase in the amount and value
of our crops" says Prof. Milton
Whitney, chief of the bureau of soils
of the department of agriculture.
why, then, increased cost, if pro-
ductivity has more than kept pace
with the per capita growth? OBJ
viously because of the increased de-
mand per capita. The amount we
consume is in some sense proper
tional to the variety of our foods
and our ability to purchase. We are
as nation very rich wages are high,
and we can afford variety, and we all
enjoy far greater variety than we did
so years ago. The markets in our
cities, large and small, already have
in December spring and summer veg
etables, fruits and meats at prices
within the reach of the masses of
our people.
I'VE have tempting varieties of
breakfast foods and other prepare
tons made of wheat and corn. This
variety tends to increase consump-
ton. We eat more per capita than
we used to. If the people can af-
ford it, why not?
The present conditions of soil
productivity, the falling off of our
exports, and the high price of food
stuffs, if taken together with the gem
eral prosperity, do not, to my mind,
indicate danger of starvation, even
if we were compelled at some future
time to tone down the high living
we are at present enjoying.
1T does show that our farmers
are engaged in a winning and a
growing occupation with a large and
increasing demand for the things
they produce.
Agriculture in this country is in
its infancy, and we have hardly more
than cleared the ground and got the
fences up. When we settle down to
the real business of farming, and get
a thorough knowledge of the soil of
each field, as the people of the longer
settled countries of Europe have
done, we shall have fewer failures
to pull down our average of produc-
tivity.
There never have been greater
opportunities offered for American
farming. In the east and south es-
pecially are cheap productive soils
awaiting re-settlement and reoccu-
patton, with ever increasing variety
of products. We should apply our
selves in earnest and with determine
ton to get the best out of them by
exercising intelligent control of these
invaluable assets. We should, fur
thermore, do this by force Of intel
lect or foresight, rather than by force
of necessity, as has been the case in
European countries"

WE'VE A MILLION new FARMS
NOT MUCH DANGER OF GOING
HUNGRY IN THIS COUNTRY.
Tendency in the North Is to CONSOLE
date Farms, While in South It's
Toward SmaIler EarIls-

Tendency in the North Is to ConsoIi-
date Farms, While in South It's
Toward Smaller Farms.
The country is not in imminent
danger of going hungry, notwith-
standing its rapid growth and the
pessimistic views of Mr.. James ].
Hill, who follows a long way after
DR.. Nautilus. The farms of the
United States are being made more
productive every year as a rule, and
the number of them is being steadily
Increased. Thus the source of supply
seems to be keeping fairly we'll up
with the demand.
What we started out to talk about,
however, was the increase in the
number of farms in the United
States, rather than the Improvement
of the farms. The American Agri-
eulturist has gone to the trouble and
expense of taking a census of farms
in the country. 1t finds that in ten
years there has been an increase in
the number Of farms of about ,000,-
eco. That is an increase of IS per
cent. In the north there has been a
tendency towards making larger
farms-cOnsolidating interests, as it
were. In the south the tendency has
been towards smaller farms. Both Of
these movements are easily under
stood. In the north for generations
small patches" a southern
er would call them-have been the
rHle, while in the south formerly
plantations of anywhere from a
hundred to q thousand acres, was
the common thing. Since the war
between the states, however, the
trend in the south has been, of neces-
sity, in the direction Of fewer acres
and better cultivation. That is why
the south shows a "a per cent. gain
in the number of farms, according
to the Agriculturist's figures, with
out showing a corresponding gain in
the number of acres under cultiva-
ton.
A point that we wish to stress Just
here is this: that while the number
of farms in the south has been in
creased by One-third in ten years. and
while the lands are being made rich
er and more fruitful all the time,
there is still room for four, five or
ten times as many farms in the sec
ton, and the possibility of doubling
the prOductiveness of practically ev-
cry acre under cultivation. At one
time Georgia farmers were pleased
when they got hundred bushels of
corn or a bale of cotton from four
acres. VIII that satisfy them now?
OF course not. They are looking to
the standard of hundred bushels
or bale to the acre.
