Boston.-Imagine the discounted
feeling of the expert cracksman of the

term of Imprisonment in blowing the
door from a safe, only to find an in.
ner barrier which the explosive does
not bulge, leaving the contents as se-

erations.
For years professional safemakers
have devoted lives vainly to getting
ahead of yeggs. but heretofore just as
offensive armament has kept in ad-
vance of defensive, so the professional
safebreakers, have kept in the van OF
the manufacturers.
Now. however. If the claim of Bos-
ton man is realized, safe has been de-
vised which may revolutionize the in
dustry and put the maker ahead of the
destroyer.
Safe blowers are Of the most des-

TO FARMERS
GAYS FARMERS OF U. s. ARE NOT
PRODUCING HALF WHAT
THEY SHOULD.
FARMERS WILL IMPROVE
2,oOo, 900 POPULATION INCREASE A
YEAR-cRoPS NOT KEEP
ING PACE.

st. Louis.-"That the farms of the
United States are not producing half
what they should because of a lack of
practical education among the farm
ers" was the reason of the high cost
of living offered by Secretary of Ag-
riculture James Wilson in an address
Tuesday night at the Farmers Union.
He was roundly applauded at the
conclusion of his address, and presided
during the rest of the session.
q believe the solution of the cost
of living problem lies in good hands, "
said Wilson. The farmers are awake
and no country is in danger when
this is the case. l have investigated
charges that the farmers have com
bined to put up prices and rob the
community and have found that they
are not true
in the past the manufacturers
asked no questions as to the continued
fertility of the soil and no effort was
made to educate the farmer, while the
education of the farmers son to leave
the farm went on apace. Manufactur
ing will not succeed without an abund
ance of food at reasonable prices, and
now that the farms in the East have
fallen away below the standard of pro
ductiveness, the manufacturers are
awakening to the danger of under-pro
duction.
THE government continued for half
a century to give away it's fertile
lands until now we have little left ex.
cept the dry lands. The farmer in the
old day was a good-natured person
working for what wages he could get
and being glad of it. while his sons
went away from the farm.
"A new day has come. Our popu
lation is increasing couple of million
or SO year and our production is not
keeping pace with this growth. Prices
have gone up. Something must be
done.
"Of the fourteen states of the Mis-,
sissippi valley, not one is producing
half the crops it should, because the
farmers have not been taught scien
mately. double every crop we're grow
ing, and at the same time care for a
population of 200 900 900 people.
When we've done that the agricul
turists of that day will show how tc
double the crops again.
