Surely President Taft, when his at

should. and probably will, apply an I'M

TO everybody, 10 every interest, to
every industry, and to our export

President Taft appeared at this con-
gress in support of the proposition to
conserve the soil and increase the agri-
cultural yields per acre. President Taft
is not a farmer, hut from the facts as
reported and shown, any one can SEQ
the vast room for improvement. Presi-
dent Taft secs it, and raises his voice
in support of the propaganda tor bet
ter farming, increased yields per acre,
and the consequent tremendous addition
to our national wealth. This is the
great propaganda that is upon us; and
the best means of realizing il is the
question to be taken up. IN Wisconsin
they are trying TO reach it by having
extension courses from the State Uni
versity (Which includes the Agricul-
tural College) IN every community. In
Oregon they arc irving to reach il by

Others propose to have agriculture
taught in the common schools, which
would mean a separation of the school
curriculum as between city schools aud

would be TO find expert instructors that
would make the agricultural teaching

But the great thing is to get at The

ITALY VERSUS TURKEY,

The probability Is, that the war
scare between Italy and Turkey will
pass off with nothing more than some
heated talk and demonstration for ef-
feet; especially will this he so if the
diplomats of the various nations IN
Europe are led TO believe that war be-
tween Italy and Turkey would involve
the general peace Of Europe. That IS
something that could by no means be
suffered; and while such a war would
not necessarily involve any Of the main
powers in Europe. there may be under
currents which are dangerous, and
which the diplomats would not be will
ing TO sec put in disturbing motion.
IL there should he war. however.
the advantage would be with Italy 1t
is true that nominally Turkey could
put in the field about 100000 troops I;
but actually Turkeys war strength is
always very much below the nominal
strength; and in the iutcruecine war
which il has been engaged in in put
ting down the Albanians. the troops
found available have been comparative
~ few. And then Turkey has a great
demand for her troops in many differ
ent directions She has war on her
hands in Arabia. besides the Albanian
trouble. and she j. Obliged 90 have a

custom has been always to have a very
heavy force in Armenia.
On the other hand, Italy mas no war
on hand, and could easily throw a force
of 100000 men into Tripoli, Her navy
is 80 much superior TO that of Turkey
that the Turks would find it difficult
to get any troops at all to Tripoli TO
relieve the garrisons there, or 10 hold
the country. Turkey could not march
her troops through Egypt, even if they
were allowed TO move there, in time TO
do any good: while If troops were ship
ped in transports the Italian navy
would probably be able 10 cut them off
and capture the transports.
IL is no wonder, therefore, that Tur-
key is appealing to the different ma
tions of Europe to call Italy off. But
Italy will not be called off without a
substantial recognition of her primacy
in Tripoi, She has maintained this
claim for good many years; and il is
not in the least likely that she woulc
be content with anything less than g
more aggressive assertion and recog
nition OF her protectorate over Tripoli
much less that she would consent tc
any abatement of her claims, Italy
claims would grow rather than lessen
So that whatever the outcome may be
we look to see the claims of Italy upon
Tripoi put into practical force and ef
feet II by war, Italy is able to dt
it; if by dilomacy, Italy will be con
tent with nothing less.

TO HELP FARM YIELDS.

Conserving the soil and increasing
chiefly uppermost in the session of the
Third National Conservation Congress
in Kansas City. This is "A direction in
which conservation can do a tremcu
dous work in this country, for the yields
of grains and of general farm and gar
den products in this country per acre
are far below those of foreign farm.
ling countries, and far below what they
used to be in this country. The Crop
Reporter of the Department of Agricul-
ture for September states that the
yield of corn per acre last year was

spring wheat III, Of oats 3l.9, of bar

of hay | Is tons per acre; and they
are estimated at much less this year
When we see that young lad in South
Carolina raises upwards of 200 bushels
of corn to the acre, and when We re.
call that sixty or seventy bushels per
acre was quite common in the carly set
Element Of the old West, we see at once
the alarming decrease.
When we consider further that in the
older countries Of Europe they harvest
on the average two and half to three
times as much wheat on an acre as we
do in this country, and rye, barley, and
oats Ill proportion, the possibility not
only, but the absolute necessity, and
the easy practlcability, of largely in
|creasing our farm yields per acre is
evident. The average of the country
on potatoes is only about one-tenth of
what has been raised on single acre in
Salt Lake county, as proved by meas
urement. President James J. Hill, the
great developer of the Northwest, the
helper of farmers in seeds. in stock, and
in farm appliances and advancement
generally, says that he sees no reason
why the grain yields could not be
doubled on the average, or even treb-
led and when the best experts point
out to the farmers the easy possibility
of getting immensely more yields from
their acreage. it would seem as though
the American farmers ought to wake up
and get down to business. To double
he corn crop of this country and the
wheat crop would put us on an export
ing basis once more on such n large
scale as would put the markets of the
world al our dictation To raise six
billion bushels Of corn in place of three
billions or less would be such tire.
mcndous addition to the wealth of the
country that its immediate commercial
and developing value could hardly be
estimated in advance. But. since the
people of Europe. on farms which have
been titled for centuries, can get results
from two and a half to three times as
great as we get on our fresh and fertile
soil, il is abundantly evident that we
have but 10 put forth the effort and we
can do at least as well. Our proud boast
is. rs a rule, that we can do better, If
we can do better We would have nine
