HAS FAITH IN AMERICA.
Professor Tombo Finds Superiority
of University Undisturbed.

New York, Feb. 10.-Professor Ru-
doIph Tombo. sent by Columbia uni
versity as exchange professor in Ber-
lin. has returned to America with his
faith in American university life and
it's superiority undisturbed.
The German student isn't as
healthy looking or as sound as the
American college man." says Professor
Tombo. He has few opportunities
for exercise and little chance at
healthy sports. In the matter of col
lege spirit, the German is far behind
the American student. Partly the
fault lies with the German system OF
education. From his ninth to his 18th
year the boy attends a gymnasium.
The miscellaneous ages here, and the
later habit of spending a semester or
two at different universities spoils the
chances of getting any real college
spirit.
"They have absolutely no use for
'co-eds' and whenever referred to
the higher education of women they
expressed disapproval by shutting
their feet. When mentioned that no
woman could study law at Columbia.
they stamped with enthusiaaEa.
German students are much inter
ested in everything American, but
they consider our tuition fees extor-
tionate. Many would study in this
country were it not for the expense.
Your students must all be rich men,
said one of my hearers in Berlin. I
told him that on the contrary most
of them were comparatively poor, but
he could not understand"

katchewan, Assinaboine and Alberta,
the four great northwestern provinces
of Canada, and that to give Canadian
farmers free entry of products raised
on cheaper lands will be certain to
lower farm lands in value in this coun-
try. Nothing could be further from
the fact. The Canadian lands are far
Their removed from the Minneapolis and
Chicago markets than the lands OF
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa or ILLINOIS,
and proximity to market is a, most inn
portant element in the value OF farm
land.
svThen the natural change in farm
ing in this country is from the raising
of grain for export to the raising OF
grain for farm consumption and de-
veloplnent of the secondary products IN
the form of cattle ana hogs. The live
cattle are bought and -fattened. The
hogs are raised and fed. 1t is farm
ing of this kind that explains the high
value of farm lands in Illinois and
Iowa.
Farm Values Compared.
IF the argument as to the disastrous
effect of admitting the crops OF the Ca
ladian northwest to cur markets upon
the values of our farm land is correct,
then the opening of lands in Kansas,
Nebraska and the two Dakotas in the
two decades from 1890 to 1910 should
have had similar effect upon the lana
of the older states. Now, what was
the fact? What was the effect upon
the farm lands of the older states OF
the competition of these newer states.
The land in the older states became
more devoted to corn and cattle and
hogs. while the wheat and other cereals
were left to the new lands The erect
was that the values OF the land or the
older farming states were III most cases
more than doubled.
1.-The difference in the value OF .tne
acre between Manitoba and Minnesota
is but little more than eight doIlars,
while the difference between Mlnne-
sofa and Wisconsin is SO, between
Wisconsin AMI Illinois Is S52, between
Wisconsin and Iowa is $40. peLWeefi
Michigan and Indiana IS sSi; .,,,t i t,,e
figures show incontestaDIy tnat the
fear of a reduction in farm land values
of this country by letting in Canada
products is wholly unfounded.
s.rT-he price of wheat, less transporta-
tion and other charges for warehouse
and delivery. is fixed by what al tne
wheat exporting countries, lncluding
