INCREASE IN OUR AGRICUL-
TURAL ACREAGE.

a recent number of the Statist OF
London is devoted almost exclusively
to the production and distribution OF
wealth IN the United States, and its
conclusions are highly encouraging for
the future. 1t makes the prediction
that we may look forward to an ex-
paHsion IN the next decade of nearly
100 per cent in the trade OF the coun-
try, as measured by the traffic of
American railways, and to another IN
crease of 100 per cent in the wealth OF
the country in the next twenty years
One Of the most interesting features
Of its survey is tie increased acreage
devoted TO cotton and cereals during
the last ten years, and particularly
during the latter half OF that period.
1t is pointed out that agriculture suf-
fered a period of stagnation under the
influence of low prices during the
nineties, but With the return of better
prices for food cotton, and wool there
was a return 20 farm work with new
vigor and more scientific methods.
The acreage planted in corn has in
creased from s3y32O, 600 in 1900 to II4,-
0s3,OOO in 1910; that OF wheat from
AZ, 2,4s5! 900 in 1900 to 4s,7s6,OOO in 1910,
and that of cotton from 25,75s,OOO in
1900 to 33,l96,OOO in 1910. The acreage
devoted to these crops and 20 oats and
barley besides makes a grand total o.
237, ,5O2, 600, as against IsI, ,s3I, 900 ii
1900 and I57, SOS, 900 IN 1890
This tremendous expansion in the
corn crop has brought the total pro
duction to 3,l2I, 100000 bushels, which
Is decidedly the largest we have ever
had The rapidity with which the
acreage has increased may be regarded
as surprising, and while everyone must
rejoice in the prosperity Of the farmer,
the question naturally arises If this
increasing yield does not spell lower
prices for food and food products, a
development that would be heartily
welcomed by our 100000 city
dwellers-

STRAUS PLANT TO BE MAIN
Tanned.

After considerable animated discus
sion, and after it appeared likely that
Washington would lose the benefits of
the Straus milk laboratory, a plan has
been evolved by which it seems prob
able the plant viii be maintained
As agreed upon by Mr.. Straus, the
District Commissioners, Secretary of
the Treasury MaeVeagh, Surgeon
General Walter Wyman of the Public
Health and Marine Hospital Service,
and Senator GaIinger, chairman of the
Senate District Committee, an effort
is to be made to have Congress pass a
bill accepting the Straus plant and
putting it under the Public Health and
Marine Hospital Service.
The principal thing to be considered
locally in this proposal is that, If 1t
is accepted BY Congress, the babies of
Washington parents who cannot afford
to buy proper food for their little ones
viii be assured Of wholesome milk,
improved health, and a better chance
10 grow up. Under the management
OF the Government the plant should be
of even greater good to the com
munity than it has been under private
management.
The whole country, however, viii

are taken over and operated by the

Service, and It is for this that Con-
gress IS expected TO favor the plan

roneously reported, but to demonstrate
