Losses on Large Farms.

1t would be interesting to know,
could 1t be known. as to how much the
country has lost through the excessive
size Of the average farm. When the
farm is unduly large 1t Is not properly
titled and. therefore. 1t does not pro.
duce as 1t ought to. When farms thus
overlarge are In process Of tillage.
proper cultivation. and suitable fertil.
ization cannot be given. What Is grown
cannot be properly husbanded; hence
there Is waste that would not other.
wise occur.
What is a suitable size for farm
cannot be stated in acres. One man
may find quarter section not large
enough. while the quarter section
alongside of 1t may be quite too large
for another man. Men differ more In
their capacity to maange farms than
farms do In their fertility. Usually,
however. the avarlce Of the average
man leads him to desire more acres
than he can use to the best advantage
provided he can obtain them.

birds. Then farmers wonder why

Roosevelt Has
Series of Mishaps
on Way to Fair
Tire on Auto Blows Out, Party is
Held Up for Speeding and Mayor
Gaynor is Not at Home.

RIVERHEAD, l.. l., Sept. 15.--Colonel
Roosevelt and party arrived here shortly
before o'clock this afternoon after a
rather eventfth automobile trip from oyster
Bay. Near Cold Springs Harbor the
colOnel's automobile ran into a speed trap
and the party was held up by a motor
cycle policeman after lively four-mile
chase.
Colonel Roosevelt. who was scheduled to
speak at the Suffolk county fair this after
noon, was accompanied by Fathers York
and Sherman OF Huntington, Father Powers
of oyster Bay and Wilfred N. Bayless and
August Hecksher of Huntington. Near
Shereham a tire blew out, causing a slight
delay. Then came the motor cycle chase,
the policeman allowing the automobile to
proceed when he learned that Colonel
Roosevelt was one of the party.
Colonel Roosevelt stopped at the home
of Mayor Gaynor at st. James but the
mayor was not at home. The colonel left
a message for the mayor, expressing his
regret at not seeing him and the hope that
his recovery would be speedy.
On their arrival here the party proceeded
TO the rectory of st. Johns Roman Catholic
church, where they were luncheon guests
of Father William G. Reilly.
Special trains from various Long Island
points brought thousands of visitors to hear
Colonel Roosevelt and the town was ir
gala attire for the occasion.
