More Small Farmers.

Of inter est to the Inland Empire
are facts presented in new farm CEN
sus, carefully prepared by three
prominent agricultural journals in
different part of the country. On the
whole the figures in a measure pres
ent the American farm and the Amer
lean farmer in a light rather more
favorable than the preachings OF the
pessimists have led us to expect.
These new figures show that round
million new farms of three acres or
more have been added to the nation
total within ten years, representing
an increase of Is per cent over 1909.
This increase in the number of farms,
as is to be expected, has been most
marked in the Western states, where
it amounts practically to 100 per cent.
The South Central states show an
increase of II per cent, the North
Central states Is per cent, the South
Atlantic states 9 per cent, and the
North Atlantic states 6 per cent.
But this same census clearly ind1
Gates that population is fast out-strip-
ping production and that, despite the
increase IN farmed area, the United
States exported a smaller quantity OF
farm products in 1909 than in 1902.
The inference is drawn that unless
large farms are still further cut up
INTO small holdings and more inten-
sively farmed along the lines now en-
couraged throughout the Inland En-
pire, the prediction of the alarmists
that the United States will cease to
export food products may soon be
realized. Inland Herald.

Minorca Breeders Meet.

tended to dispense with the legal

our subscribers who are distant from

Wagers and cases in the courts Will
not be considered, but concise ques-
lions will be briefly answered. IN
less otherwise requested the law OF
the State of Washington will be given.
Kindly answer the following in The
Ranch. 1-In 1898 | filed on 40 acres.
I relinquished without any considera-
,tion of any kind. In 1907 1 filed on
16O acres which | now hold. Will my
previous filing and REIMBURSEMENT
interfere in any way with committing
on present holding?
Or Where a hOmesJeader cuts tim
Der to clear land for cultivation is he
allowed to sell such part of said tim
Der as is not needed in improving the
land?
GA files on a homestead and uses
water from a spring that rises on
government land but does not file on
the water. He lives five years on the
land making constant use of the
water, then proves up, gets patent,
and moves off the land, 40 water has
not been used regularly for several
years. B now files on the government
and on which the spring rises and
claims the water. Which of the two
can hold tie water? WIT.
Ans. 1-Your previous filing and
REIMBURSEMENT, which was strictly
without consideration, should not in
terfere with committing on your pres
ent holding. At the time you made
your second filing there was no law
strictly giving you the right, but
by departmental legislation the COM
missioners of the general land office al
lowed those who had reliquished with
out consideration to file again. A law
has since been passed giving this
right. The tact that you we're allowed
to file your second piece tends to show
very plainly that you will not be in
terfered with in committing.
2-When you are IN good faith clear
ing your land for cultivation you have
a right to sell such timber as you do
not need. You do not have the right
to go in and cut timber or bolts for
the sake of profit on them alone, for
it is best to be discreet in the matter
as the government is now careful in
it's scrutiny.
3-This matter is in the jurisdiction
of the state, the U. S. not being in
ter ested. Much depends upon the
amount of water flowing from the
spring and whether the use makes OF
it is reasonable. Under the facts as
stated B has better right to the water
than A, who would however, have a
right to any surplus.

STATE HIGH SCHOOLS IN
EXCLAMATION CONTEST

Yankton, S. D., May 6.--The eighth
annual state high school contest in dec
lamation, under the auspices of Yank-
ton college, will be held at the Fiske
assembly room in Ward hall, at Yank-
ton, Friday, May 10. Last year the
contestants represented high schools
from all parts of the state, % young
men and women taking part.
A new feature last year, which made
the contest especially interesting, was
the division of the contestants into
two classes. These were the "oratori-
cal class" and the general class" In
the former, the selections were taken
from great MASTER pieces Of oratory,
while in the latter there was no limi-
tation as to choice Of selections This
proved so successful that 1t will he con-
tinued as a permanent feature of the
contest. A large number Of young men
competed in the oratorical class.
A large number of entries have al
ready reached the committee, among
which are some from schools not hith-
erto represented. 1t Is expected that
this will be the best and largest con-
test ever held here since the beginning
Of the state contest movement.
Professor Clarence T.. Lyon, head Of
the department Of public speaking in
Yankton college, is chairman Of the
committee. He and his associates are
carefully planning for the entertain
ment Of guests, and for the arrange
ment and execution Of the program.
