A New Target for Inventors.

A New Target for Inventors.
Discussing the cause and effect of
prevailing high prices in the series of
articles on the cost Of living which
the New York Independent is printing.
Prof. John B. Clark of Columbia uni
versity lays special stress on the eK-
haustlon Of free land by the settling
up of our unoccupied public domain,
producing a "land-crowding" effect.
IF inventions and discoveries of the
future are to annul or reverse this
effect" he declares, they must be
of a different kind from those that
have given us our seeders, reapers,
threshers, etc. We shall need here
after. not something that will enable
a man to till more acres, but some
thing that will enable him to get
greater and greater returns from a
single acre"
This is an interesting way Of putting
our changing situation. Although
stated in this bold fashion, It is apt
to be Misunderstood. Successful agri-
culture depends on getting the big
gest net returns by the application of
labor and capital to land and it was
found by experience that with the aid
of modern farm machinery, 1t was
more economical and at the same time
more profitable to do our farming on
a reasonably large scale rather than
OF the miniature plan pursued in the
most thickly populated regions of the
old world. Our method of farming is
admittedly more wasteful of the land,
but more productive in consideration
Of the amount of labor employed.
But the price of the farm product is
not determined solely by the cost of
cultivation, but by the entire cost
from producer to 1t is
quite conceivable that land values
may continue to rise, that wages may
remain up and more labor be required
to secure a given yield and yet econo-
mics and new inventions cheaper the
cost of transportation, waTehousing
and marketing so as to offset the
factor working in the opposite direc-
tion.
While most Of the free land in the
public domain has been taken up, but
a small part, If any part, Of our coun-
try has reached the 'land-crowding"
stage. The great expanse Of country
W e. . 1
westward OF. the narrow strip between
the Atlantic and the Alleghenies is
relatively sparsely populated and is
capable of supporting many times the
present number-of Inhabitants without
approaching old world conditions.
Still another factor to be reckoned
is the steadily increasing intelligence
Of u farming population and their
rapid adaptation and application of
instruction in scientific agriculture.
Better farming" as Sir Horace Plum
kett calls it, is making tremendous
Roadway throughout this whole west
ern country and cannot help to be a
telling force in the industrial read
justment.
Finally we may expect to do some
thing along the very line to which
Prof. Clark points, namely, the de-
velopment of new inventions and new
methods that will enable a man to
get greater and greater returns out of
each single acre. just as the epoch
making farm machinery enabled each
farmer to till more acres. II such a
thing is possible under the laws Of
nature, we may be sure 1t will eventu-
ally be forthcoming when the problem
theoretically tackled under the goad
of necessity. which is the mother OF
invention.

China Catching UP.

New YORK tribune,
1t is not easy TO imagine a more striking
illustration Of the rapid spread Of new in
v%entions than is afforded in the fact that
on the recent march TO Lhasa the Chinese
army used wireless telegraphy to keep
itself in communication with headquarters
and home, in order that 1t might not be
isolated by the Tibetans cutting the wires.
1t is also an equally striking indication Of
the speed with which China is catching up
with the world.
