American Review of Reviews for July.
Take away from the farms a con-
siderable share Of their live stock and
| it would follow that such enormous
quantities of corn would be thrown
upon the market as to reduce its price
below the cost of productic n, and such
a general drop in the value of corn
would surely lower the value of lands
all over the corn belt. and hence
would affect seriously the value of all
lands.
1T follows, therefore. that if the
farmers of the United States would
continue to receive remunerative prices
for their annual corn crops, and if they
would maintain the present general
land values of farm lands throughout
the country. they must keep up or in
farms.
"Of course there is always the add
ed and very important consideration of
preserving land values by preserving
and increasing the fertility of the soil.
which can be naturally and perma-
nently done only by raising plenty of
live stock on the farm, as every up-to-
date farmer knows.
The above is q serious subject for
thoughtful study by all who are in
terested in land values, including rail-
road managers, land dealers, COLOMBIA
ton and irrigation com panies, and
others besides the farmers themselves.
''In short, to increase and improve
the supply of live stock in the country,
especially of meat animals is absolute
ly essential to keeping up the produc-
ton and price of corn; to maintaining
the value of lands, and to preserving
the fertility of the soil; while all of
these are necessary to continued agri-
cultural prosperity, which is now well
recognized as the basis of the general
prosperity of all classes and of all
business interests throughout the ma
tion.''

LEMONS.

Now that the warm weather has ar
rived the price of lemons has gone up
This is the case every summer. When
this particular brand Of citrus fruit IS
in greatest demand for service in the
making of cooling and refreshing
drinks, the price of it takes a jump
skyward. But the leap this year has
been greater than usual Naturally,
those who look for a reason for 1t, hit
upon the increase in duty from one
cent to one and one-half cents a pound
which is levied on imported lemons un-
der the new tariff law. No doubt this
is an important factor in the present
advance in the price of lemons
And in connection with this advance
in prices it is interesting to note that
some of the newspapers in this section
which seem most concerned about It,
are among those that covertly endorsed
the increase in the duty on lemons
They did not advocate this increase in
their news and editorial columns. Oh.
no. They are newspapers that boiler
for revision of the tariff downward
and who are loud in their public pro-
testations against the present tariff
law because it does not appeal to them
as making anything like the downward
revisions it should. But as to the
lemon schedule in the tariff law the
proprietors Of these self same papers
lent their names to a petition to the
United States senators to favor the in
crease in duty on lemons for the pur-
pose of protecting and developing the
infant" industry in this country of
lemon growing.
Doesn't it some with pretty bad
grace for these newspapers now to find
fault with the increase in the price of
lemons when they gave what aid they
could to make such an increase posi-
BILE? Doesn't it. as a matter of fact,
come with pretty bad grace for these
newspapers to attack any feature Of
the tariff law? This lemon matter may
be looked upon as a small one COM
pared with other matters of Importance
concerned in the tariff legislation. But
the newspapers which covertly favored
an increase in the duty on lemons may
have acted in the same way in respect
to other tariff schedules.
Among the Kansas papers which
went to the rescue of the lemons are
the Topeka Capital and the Wichita
Beacon, square DEAF newspapers. At
least they have not denied the charge
that they did, which was first publish
ed several weeks ago in the Emporia
! Journal
