BOYS INTENSIVE FARMING.
Showing How the Productiveness Oi
 Land May Be Increased.


 Land May Be Increased.
 More than 12,OO0 southern boys less than IS years old planted and culti- vated an acre of corn each last year under the direction of the department of agriculture, the Youths Companion says. Persons interested in the experi- ment in Arkansas, Mississippi, South Carolina and Virginia offered to pay the expenses of a trip to Washington for the boy in each State who raised the greatest amount of corn on his acre. The winning boys will soon visit the national capital.
 The average yield of corn to the acre in 1909 was a little more than twenty-five bushels. The South Caro- lima boy, who made the best record, produced 1521a bushels. The winning Mississippi boy raised 147 bushels, the Arkansas boy 135 and the boy in Vir- ginia 122. The average raised by each of the 12,0O0 was sixty bushels.
 The instructions given to those boys by the department of agriculture are available to every farmer in the coun- try. If they should be followed exactly the yield of corn to the acre could easily be doubled in a single year.
 Intensive cultivation is worth while on all crops. The average yield of po- tatoes to the acre in 1909 was 107 bushels, but the Maine farmers aver aged 225 bushels, and some of the most progressive of them dug 400 bush els to the acre. The yield of corn and potatoes depends more upon cultiva- tion and fertilization than upon the soil, and there is practically no part of the United States in which these crops cannot be raised successfully.
 It is beyond doubt that larger crops can be produced from ten acres thor oughly titled than from two or even three times ten acres cultivated as they usually are. The fact that the South Carolina prize winner raised more corn on one acre than the aver age farmer produces from six tells story that should not be lost upon these for whose benefit the experiment was made.

IN FAVOR OF REAL AUTHOR
New York Courts Ruling in Case of
 a PIagiarized Short Story.

New York Courts Ruling in Case of
 Plagiarized Short Story.
 A decision of interest to authors was handed down by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, says the New York Times. Writers whose copyrighted stories are appropriated without their consent by successful playwrights are entitled to all the profits of the plays, the court holds. The decision was in the suit which Henry J. w. Dam, a writer, who has since died, brought four years ago against the Kirk La Shelle Theatrical Company, when it was producing The Heir to the Hoorah" all over the coun- try with great success.
 MT. Dam wrote a short story called ''The Transmogrification of Dan" some years ago. It was about a prospector. who discovers a rich mine. Becoming wealthy he marries into society and lets himself be bullied and despised by his wife and mother-in-law, until his son is born. Then he recovers his self-respect and dignity through the responsibilities of fatherhood MT Dam sold it for SS5 to the Smart Set which copyrighted and printed it. At a theater several years later, MT. Dam declared, he was considerably surprised to recognize his little eight-page story in Paul Armstrong's successful play ''The Heir to the Hoorah' Mr. Dam got the Smart Set to assign him it's interest in the copyright. Then he started suit against the Kirk La SheIle company.
 Andrew Gilhooley, of Beekman street, MT. Dams lawyer, contended that when playwright dramatizes copyrighted story without the consent of the author all the profits realized from the play should be awarded to the author, even though the dramatist may have incorporated additional mat ter.
 After MT. Dams death the suit was carried on by his widow, Dorothy Dorr, the actress. Oddly enough, MT. Dam wrote his story, which was founded on the inspiration of fatherhood, not long after the birth of his own son.
 In its decision yesterday the United States Circuit Court of Appeals holds that the infringement of the copyright consisted of the use of the theme of the story, the change produced in the character of a husband by becoming aSfather
 "A playwright" says the court. "who appropriates the theme of another's i, inin the charge of infringement by adding to or slightly varying its incidents even if none of the language of the story is used in the play.
 "In our opinion, the playwright de Iiberately appropriated the story and dramatized it."
 As to compensation for the infringe ment, the court says in substance that, to adjudge all the plays profits to the author of the story, who took no finan- cial risks in producing the play, seems at first unjust, but the author of story could not prove how much he was damaged or how much of the. prof it's he deserved Neither could he fol low the theatrical company all over the country, seeking relief through in functions Making the theatrical com pany accountable for all the profits was the only way to keep copyrighted but undramatized books and stories from being appropriated. The com plainant was entitled to recover the whole profits from the play.
