ACRES MUST YIELD MORE.
President Brown OF the New York
Central Appeals to Farmers.

Ithaca, n. Y, Jan. l5.-W G. Brown,
president of the New York Central
railroad company, was speaker at
the founders day exercises at Cornell
university MIR. Browns address was
plea for more intelligent use of the
agricultural resources of the United
States. He said;
Il have noted with regret expires.
sions of satisfaction and self-Congratu.
lation upon the part of the press over
the fact that the aggregate value of
farm products has increased from
$4.41T 100000 in 1898 to $S,76O, OOO, 600
in 1909, unmindful of the disturbing
fact that this increase in value is
the result almost entirely of increased
acreage and a startling increase in
prices and not the result of an in.
creased yield from each acre.
This failure to increase the produc-
ton of the nations farms by increas-
ing the number of bushels from each
acre is steadily and rapidly increasing
the cost of living, and manufacturers,
merchants and employers of labor in
every class are scanning the future
with anxious eyes, for the end does
not seem 70 be in sight.
The United States, as a whole has
as fertile soil and as favorable climate
as any country in the world. Given
the same intelligent methods of seed
selection, fertilization and cultivation
our lands will produce as large crops
as those of any other nation. A sim.
pie comparison of the average acre
yield of the principal cereals in this
country with those of the older nations
Is the severest possible criticism OF
our methods, or want of method. In
, the last ten years our farms have
| produced an average yield of wheat
of less than fourteen bushels an acre
England produces more than thirty
two, Germany about twenty-eght, the
Netherlands more than thirty-four and
| France approximately twenty. OF
oats, the United States produces ar
average annual yield of 23.7 bushels
an acre, England forty-two. Germany
forty.six and the Netherlands fifty
three. Potatoes, like wheat, corn anC
bread, are a food staple of the poo
man. Our average yield is eighty-fvt
bushels an acre, while Germany, Bel
GUM and Great Britain produce 25I
bushels.
The only possible solution, the onl!

DERAILED IN DAKOTA.
Milwaukee Train Leaves Track; Two
Enuines Too Heavy for Rails.


Mitchell, S. d., Jan. l5.-After over
coming the difficulties caused by tho
fall of sixteen inches of snow the Mil
waukee road encountered more trouble
when a passenger train was deraileG
five miles east of this city on the
Iowa and Dakota division. The train
was ten hours late and was drawn by
two engines. 1t is believed the track
spread under the weight OF the two
engines, which broke loose from the
train and ran two miles before the en-
gineers discovered the absence of the
train. Four coaches and the baggage
and mail cars left the track when Is.
rail was twisted half around.
The accident occurred in a deep cuE
filled with snow and the cars toppled
over into the snow. While the pas

Taft Aroused.

Washington correspondence of the
New York Tribune: One of the diff
culties attending a new administration
is that of forming an accurate esti.
mate of the executive. There are a
good many people who have not yet
formed a correct estimate of the char
aCter of William Howard Taft. His
great size. his expansive smile, his
genial good nature and apparent in.
ertia are likely to be sadly deceptive.
Tell the man in the street that Presi-
dent Taft is a whrlwind of energy and
determination and he will laugh at
you. And yet there are times when
that description is literally true. 1t is
possible gently to jostle the president
of the United States into corner
and even to buldoze him little, SC
long as he does not suspect your mo-
tive But once in a corner, he can
and will fight like like a tiger. Once
aroused his capacity and his determi
nation know no limits. In the placid
interregnums of political life he seems
like a great good natured giant. He
suggests General Luxembourg. who
was described by Macaulay as failing
to maintain picket lines, to utilize
scouts, and, in fact, neglecting every
customary military precauton, and ye
winning his battle by the sheer force
of his extraordinary energy and deter
! minatiOn.
