THE BANNER FARM STATE.
Missouri Tracts Smaller, but In Num-
Der They Exceed Others.


Der They Exceed Others.
Missouri has more farms than any
other state in the Union. Within her
borders are 2S4.S86 farms, which aver
age 100 acres to the farm. The i'm
proved land to each farm averages 10
acres, or 621a per cent. These figures
are based on the last census report.
According to the report of the com
merce and labor bureau. the farms of
Missouri are worth STATS an acre.
EmoBg thu. states of the middle west
Missouri has smaller farms than many
of them. Ohio is an exception, where
276.OOO farms only average SO acres
each. Illinois has 264.O00 farms of 124
acres each. Iowa has 22S,000 farms
of 151 acres each. Kansas has $4,000
farms of 22S acres. In the United
States farms average 146 acres, but
only so per cent is improved land.
F. g. Mumford. professor of animal
husbandry in the college of agriculture
in the University of Missouri, has pre-
pared some interesting facts about the
amount of live stock there is on an
average Missouri farm. This is con-
sidered a great mule state. and yet
there are four times as many horses
as there are mules in Missouri. The
equipment as Professor Mumford
gives it is: Fifteen cattle, four horses.
one mule, twenty-six hogs. five sheep
and fraction of goat.
Fully one-third of the states popula-
ton depend directly or indirectly upon
The income from animals and animal
products is $13O.0OOOOO annually. Fiji
ty-five per cent of the farmers have
their principal income from live stock
in fact, more than $80O.000.OO0 are
invested in farms, live stock and equip
ment for stock raising.
Missouri stands third in the middle
west as the state having the largest
number of renters on the farms. Illi-
nois farms are filled by 81 per cent
owners and 80 per cent tenants. The
percentage of tenancy in Iowa is 34.9.
while Missouri has only three tenants
in ten farmers. which means that sew
en- farmers out of ten in Missouri do
not pay rent. but have the title of their
farms resting in themselves. The per
ceHldSe OF teHdncy III Ohlo 10 At-o' Out
in Michigan it drops to 15.9.
There is said to be tenant on land
of David Rankin. in the northwest
part of the state. making as much as
$4,000 a year on rented land. Tenant
farming in Missouri as well as in all
the best agricultural states is said to
be on the increase.
Missouri does not get so much return
from her lands per acre as do many of
the other states According to the last
census report, the money made on each
acre of improved land in Missouri was
1888 an acre This is much less than
in any of the best states surrounding
Missouri. The return per acre in Ohio
was S13.36: Michigan. $12.42; Illinois,
$124S: Iowa. 1922.

Seeds a Cent Apiece.

Ginseng seeds are worth 1 cent
apiece, or from $50 to 500 pound.
Dried root is worth 1928 pound.
When first growing from the seed
the ginseng plants have two forks or
stalks and one leaf on each stalk. The
second year it adds another leaf on
each part, and the third year the plant
grows in three parts with three leaves
on each part, and this year a seed ball
forms.
This grows direct from the main
stalk of the plant and from four to five
inches above the foliage. The aver
age plant produces from fifty to sixty
seeds and sometimes goes as high as
100 seeds Wild plants yield better
than cultivated.
The fourth and fifth years one leaf
is added to each stalk. The fifth year
the plant is full grown, having three
forks and five leaves on each stalk.
1t grows from one to two feet in
height, sometimes as high as twen-
ty-seven inches. The leaves are broad
and fat. about four inches long and
two inches wide when full grown with
escalloped edges.
1t takes five years to grow the root
from seed for market and eighteen
months to terminate the seed for
growth. There is more cultivated root
now on the market than wild. The
plants are found on high, dry land in
the woods and never in swamry
places.

In the Encouragement of dates OF our
primary elections in Nebraska the fact
that the primary is now the decisive
factor in the adoption of constitutional
amendments has been completely over
looked by our lawmakers. In the rat
ification of constitutional amendments
we have a complete referendum, The
rule used to be that no amendment
could be adopted unless a majority Of
the voters expressed themselves posi-
lively In favor of it by an affirmative
act. But this rule has since been re-
versed so that to carry an amendment
now requires merely that majority of
the voters do not go to the trouble Of
expressing themselves negatively. This
change has been brought about by in
viting party endorsement of proposed
amendments at the primary and max
ing every straight party vote count af-
firmatively for every amendment thus
endorsed by the party.
To all practical intents and pur-
poses, therefore, the amendment of our
hconstitution in Nebraska has been
transferred from the election to the
primary. That this change involves
many risks and exposes us to serious
dangers Is self-evident. But the point
that We wish to emphasize here is that
no provision has been made to insure
intelligent consideration by the voters
for this primary decision. The consti-
tuition, looking only to the election, re-
quires the publication OF proposed con-
lstitutional amendments in at least one
newspaper In each county in the state
for three months prior to the election.
These publications usually start the
first week in August, and their repeti-
ton is supposed to attract the atten-
ton of the voters. But now the pri-
mary has been moved up to the third
Tuesday in August, SO that at best the
publicity given the constitutional
amendment, as required by law, will
extend over only two weeks before the
primary which decides their fate. A
4 constitutional amendment is to be sub.
mittsd in Nebraska this year. 1t is safe
to say that not one voter in a THOUSAND
knows OF this amendment, much lesi
knows its purport and purpose, and the
chances are that no one voter in ter
will have any real understanding of Il
before the third Tuesday in August.

AS prolific puzzlers, what is a
democrat?" and How old is Amir"
are beaten to a FRAGILE by the new
question, when is a boulevard7"
which has been projected here in
Omaha.
Under our city charter the control
of all streets and alleys and RESPONSE
bility for their Improvement and main
tenance devolve on the mayor and
council, while the Park board is given
exclusive Jurisdiction over boulevards.
A boulevard is supposed to be a
driveway connecting different parts Of
park system, while a street is a mere
thoroughfare for public traffic. There
is this further difference between q
street and a boulevard as contemplated
by law; the cost Of street improvements
such as paving, curbing and guttering
is assessable back to the abutting prop
erty owners by special levy, while the
expense of laying out and maintaining
boulevards is drawn from the park fund
raised by general taxation. In conse-
quence the vicious habit has grown up
of prevailing on the Park board, when
ever sufficient pull and pressure can be
exerted, to designate street temper
arily as boulevard long enough to re-
lieve the adjoining property owners
from special taxes
AS a rule, 1t becomes immaterial
after the trick is turned whether the
street continues to be called q boule-
ward or not. But now We are witness
ing reversal of procedure whereby an
attempt is made to restore boulevard
to the status of street in order to
have it curbed and guttered by special
assessment. Quite naturally there is
objection from those who prefer to ride
a free horse all the time, and insist on
the slogan, "Once a boulevard, always
boulevard"
ALI of which, We believe, vindicates
the position The Bee has taken more
than once against the inexcusable and
unwarranted misnomer Of d street in
order to have it improved as boule-
ward at the expense of the park fund
and against the injustice of thus shift
ing the burden from those who receive
special benefits for which they ought
