POPULATION OF IRELAND



France has come to be so distinctly
looked upon as the classic home OF
stationary population that the tend
ency has been TO overlook the only
European nation that has experienced
actual depopulation during the course
Of the nineteenth century. That ma
ton is OF course, ireland. In 1S41
the population OF that island was s.
l76,124 Within ten years II had
dropped to a little over $3.50, 900 The
succeeding decades showed no such
enormous decrease, hut the ratio was
high enough, For the ten year per-
iods up to 1901 the average annual
loss OF population was, successfully,
$4,000, $4,000, $4,000, 1900. and
$4,000. With the turn OF the century
a notable chance came about. Figures
laid before the House Of Commons by
Mr. Birrell lust before the adjourn
ment OF the present Parliament
showed that in 1923 the population
loss was about $1,000. In 1903 came
the enactment OF the sweeping Wynd-
ham land purchase bills. and from
that year till 1905 the annual loss was,
successfully, 1000, 1900, 5000. H.

commentary than this need not be

MAKING POLITICS DECENT.
Ohio State Journal.


The Senatorial bribery cases in IL
linols are resulting in the cleaning up
OF the political conditions of the state.
II seems that politics out there has
been under the direction OF very low
motives. Money and plumber have
been the ruling influences. and whore
these exist bribery and corruption are
certain to prevail. In the Statewide
night for n decent Legislature there
Will be general effort to correct all
sorts of abuses. One of these abuses
is the demand made upon State en-
ployes for contributions to the cam
paign funds. In the very nature Of
things, this practice Is hostile to good
government since 1t puts a selfish pur-
pose in the place of an honest judy
ment. The practice assumes that the
party itself is superior to the govern
ment, and the employee owes his duty
first to It. This condition necessarily
results in bad politics. II opens the
way TO every form OF mendacity and
corruption. simply because It lowers
political action TO the plane Of self
ish motives. To keep up such a re-
glme Is certain to debauch the State
and all its interests.

ANCESTOR OF WHEAT.

only ten years ago. a distinguished
botanist. the Count dc Solms-Lauhach,
declared that the genealogical record OF
wheat had disappeared forever and that
its life history could not now be writ
ten. This conclusion seems TO have
boon premature.
DR.. Aaronsohn. botanst Of high
reputation claims to have discovered
on the slope Of Mt. Hermon in Pales-
tine. the original wild wheat, the prim-
tive stock from which oil cultivated
wheats have been derived.
Agricultural explorers sent out by
the American government have been
travelling Of late in the orient. They
bring the word that many Of the plants
found there may be successfully grown
upon the scmi-arid soils Of our own
country

CHOLERA IN RUSSIA.

The cholera In Russia seems to have
become 80 formidable as to lead Aus

entrance into those countries The
number OF deaths IN Russia amount 10
thousands Official reports placed the

kept pace with the increase Of the

cent for the Last 10 years. Often th'
increase Is considerably iu excess of

shows a growth Of 49, per cent in the
last 10 years while az the other end Of
the country Sacramento has grown 500
yer cent IN the same time. The growth
3n the rural districts falls far below
these figures Generally II is less than
ten per cent. IN Nebraska, Seward and
Buffalo counties, OF 1900 and 2O0
respectively show practically no in

SEEDS MUST BE PURE SAYS H. r.
WRIGHT,
Pure Food Commissioner Points out
Danger From Weeds Growing
From Impure Seeds.

Dealers in and purchasers of seeds
are warned by Commissioner Wright
against the sale or use of impure
seeds. In the bulletin issued this
week he sets forth the provisions of
the Iowa seed law and announces that
all violaters of the law will be prose-
cuted. He calls attention to the fact
that while the sale of impure seeds
is fraud on the purchaser, the real
damage comes from the fact that
many weeds result from the use of
seeds of this class. Not only does the
user of the impure seeds suffer, but
his neighbor also reaps a harvest of
weeds as the result of their plant
ing.
He suggests that if there is any
doubt about the seeds purchased they
should be sent to the seed analyst,
at the dairy and food department,
and be properly tested
On the subject Commissioner
Wright says:
Dealers in seeds and purchasers
Iof them are warned that prosecutions
will follow for the sale of seeds not
in accordance with the law.
THE law of this state regulating
the sale of agricultural seeds includes
all the varieties of grass seeds, forage
plants and the cereals.
1T prohibits the sale of agricul-
tural seeds if any seeds of the follow
ing weeds are present, namely: Wild
mustard or charlock, quackgrass,
Canada thistle, wild dodder or corn
cookie. The only exception to this
