RESTORING AGRICULTURAL LAND

A proclamation which it is said
the president will soon issue will re-
store to settlement and entry. some
4, 900 900 acres of agricultural land
now included within national forests.
and 500 900 acres of which are in

The restoration of this land to en-
from the policy of forest conservation
to which the present administration
is committed. 1t will be simply the
correction of errors arising out of the
fact that when the national forests
were established it was impractic-
able to determine with accuracy the
character of all the land included.
Very properly it was considered
wise when those forests were estab-
lished to define their boundaries at
once without waiting for the infor-
nation concerning the character of
all the land which could be obtain
ed only by careful examination and
in some cases by surveys. By that
dCllDn IUt true lOIesSl dIttt5 were uth-
icated to forestry purposes, and it
remained practicable to exclude by
subsequent proclamaions those lands
which might be found to be more
valuable for agricultural than for
forestry purposes. The only effect
of the original inclusion of such land
was to cause a temporary delay in
their settlement: and doubtless in
many cases even this check upon
settlement did not occur. since some
of the lands would not have been en-
tered even If they had always remain
ed open.
The growth of the Rocky Mountain
states has brought 'anGs of this kind
into greater demand. and hence the
presidents proc amation will be
timely as well as beneficial. Settlers
will be abe to acquire title to the
lands to be restored to entry, and
yet the policy of forest conservation
will be in no respect crippled or in

NO REASON FOR EMIGRATION

The Mexican Herald states that
there are probably 10000 citizens of
the United States in Mexico, Central
America and South America.
This is small number in compari-
son to the hundreds Of thousands
who have emigrated to Canada. as
tha Herald says, yet it is more than
many would have estimated.
The Herald goes on to say that
the inducements for settlers TO so
from this country to the south have
not been as attractive as those offer
ed by other regions. Nevertheless
the United States is well represented
there. In addition. a considerable
emigration to South America from
Europe has commenced.
But in time it will begin to be un-
derstood that there is no necessity
for Americans to emigrate either to
Canada or to Latin-America. There
are sufficient opportunities in the
United States, fact to which it
would be well if more attention were
called

DRAWING CROWDS.

1t is chronicled in the news
columns that two deacons of an At
lanta, Ga, church recently adver-
dzed that a prize-fight would be
pulled Off before the opening OF
the REGULAR services. When the
time came they confessed that they
had made the announcement merely
to draw crowd.
This Atlanta incident affords an
illustration of one of the reasons
why advertising sometimes fails to
pay. Occasionally commercial ad-
vertisers frame their announce
ments more with view to draw
ing crowd" than to selling goods.
Fortunately, however, such adver-
tising is becoming more and more
rare and none of it gets into first
class newspapers. Spurious offers,
made to draw crowds" are sui
cidal Even an announcement pub
lished in good faith, if it attract
merely curiosity-seekers, represents
money thrown away. The only
crowds worth drawing are crowds
of buyers, who can be reached by
good newspaper advertising, and
who must be sent away thoroughly
satisfied with their purchases.

AS TO HIGH PRICES.

Does this country want high prices ?
The farmers, who produce the articles
that bring high prices. claim that they
are not making the profit on hogs
and cattle and other products of the
farm that they made when the price
was half what it Is now. 1t is hard
to understand, however, why wheat,
at a dollar a bushel, and corn at so
cents, does not bring better returns
than they did when the farmer was
glad to get half that price for them.
high-priced hay and grain to stock
does not bring the hoped-for returns,
but, if not. then sell the corn and hay,
and let the stock go. OF course, i'm

Where will the meat come from ?"
The question is not wholly q philan-
thropic one, and, of course, the far
mer and the stockgrower want to
make all the money they can. And
there are very few of them who are
not of the positive opinion that the
high prices are caused by the packe rs.
These packers control absolutely not
only the prices of meats, but the
prices of stock. They can put down
cattle; in the same minute they can
put up the prices of meat. We are
absolutely and wholly within their
power. The farmers say the high
prices do the consumer no good. The
packers, therefore, are the ones that
must be regulated If there is to be a
decrease in the price of meats. And,
if you have kept tab on the packers,
you will have noticed that none of
them have gone into bankruptcy
