LONDON, Aug. 30.-The vast feudal

the Liberal campaign against the

against the dukes and other great

the same as is brought to bear from

city. namely-they stand In the way OF
the development and Improvement OF
the property, they will not tear down
their ancient stores and tenements,
they will not break up their farms into
highly cultivatable parcels.
This was the cry, and IL has brought
about laws which, so II Is claimed by
the dukes and others in their class,
render the ownership OF land on
large scale impracticable. And SO

tistics of ten years ago showing that Wisconsin
had average yield Of twenty-five bushels per
acre, the same average for the United States
as whoe-a showing that didn't satisfy the
bilious leaders OF agricultural progress. They set
about getting the farmer to better varieties
and select his seed better. with the result that in
eight years time the average yield per acre went
up to 41.6 bushels-the highest. with one excep-
ton. for any American State that year. The main
explanation Of how this done is the Wiscon-
sin Experimental Association. The Agricultural
College, with few high-bred varieties of corn,
furnished to each member Of the Association seed
enough to plant two acres OF corn with the under
standing that the Association member would sell
seed to his neighbors at not over twice the market
value of ordinary corn. In this way seed Of the
best varieties has been put within reach of farm
ers everywhere-and seed. too acclimated and
suited to the climate and soils of the farmers
section
Still another notable agency In increasing
Wisconsin production has been the boys
and girls corn clubs, numbering 10000 last year
and possibly $4,000 in 1910. Each boy or girl
gets a package of improved seed; from this prod
uct the ten best ears selected in competition

improved seed to plant his entire crop. What
Improvement Wisconsin has wrought with corn Is
