PROMOTERS WOULD ADO
1000, 900 TO POPULATION

A letter has been received from a
Cincinnati promoter by Governor
Hay, in which it is stated that the
writer wants to lease 200 tracts of
10000 acres each located in fertile
valleys where the land can be easily
farmed upon which he proposes to
locate 10000 people and to build
up 200 towns with a population of
not less than 5000 each. For this
land he wishes to pay $500 an acre
and he does not want the land loca-
ted on railroads.. AS no state land
can be purchased in Washington for
less than $40 an acre and as such
an area of fertile land distant from
railways would be hard to find in
Washington the governor has re-
piled that it will be impossible for
Washington to consider the offer.

INLAND HERALD SusPENDs

Just Is months to a day after
the Inland Herald launched forth as
an afternoon newspaper in the Spo-
kane field that publication ceased
to exist Moneay.
When the last edition was on the
street Monday afternoon announcing
its own demise more than a half
million had been expended and two
companies had exhausted their en-
ergy and resources. A mountain
OF debt has been piled up to be
settled by the members of the pres
ent company, the directors of which
are F. B. Gregg, principal owner,
DR.. I. L. Catterson and w. II.
Schissler. The paper was losing at
the rate of $4,000 month at the
time fits demise, according to Mr..
Sammis, the representative of Mr..
Gregg, and this sum is but half the
sum lost monthly up to the time of
the receivers sale, February IS.
The equipment of the plant,
according to Mr.. Sammis last night
and the report at the receivers sale,
was valued at about $50, 900. The
equipment consisted of one press
installed, valued at $500, linotype
machines valued roughly at $50, 900;
type valued at SIS, 1000 to $4,000,
ard office and working equipment
valued at several thousand dollars.
The company had contracted for
a new press valued at SIS, 900 which
has been held in storage in Spokane.
All this machinery is only paid
partly for.
While the paper has meant a
tremendous loss to a number who
knowingly sunk their funds in the
enterprise, there are several hundred
subscribers who have advanced sub
scriptions for one to five years who
stand to loose their subscriptions
unless the present company works
ont system of refunding this
money. The manager, w. H.
Schissler, has not given out state
ment as to how this detail will be
settled. It is estimated that $4,000
to $4,000 is tied up in subscriptions
alone.

There are few better instances on
record OF building up WORKOUT and
impoverished soil into productive
and profitable farm than that recently
reported from Western North Carolina
by Northern man who purchased a
place in that section.
This farm was bought In 1905, and
during the fall Of this year all the cat
tie the owner could secure were placed
on the land. These were fed from the
fodder and rOughness received from
the tenants on the place az their rent
and from the former owner. Leaves
from the woods Wer gathered daily and
used for bedding and all manure and
organic matter available was placed
upon the fields.
The next year large crop OF corn
taken from the farm averaged II
bushels to the acre on the badly worn
uplands, and 20 bushels 10 the acre in
the bottom lands. The same system
OF returning every possible amount Of
organic material to the soil was con-
tinued and system OF crop rotation
suited to the needs of the various
parts OF the farm was begun, with the
result that in 1907 the corn yield had
increased appreciabIy, and every year
since that time has showed an in
crease, until, in 1910, the farmer took
the prize for the best acre CT corn in
the county. producing u bushels to the
acre, and the average yield for the en-
tire farm having risen to nearly so
bushels to the acre.
The owner states that he has IN
creased his yields, of all crops over
300 per cent. on the uplands and at
least $50 per cent. en- the lowlands
He considers his farm worth many
times more than he paid for 1t in 1905

Mr.. James Journegan. who was per-
haps the oldest man in North Carroll
ma, died Saturday at his home at Ep-
sem, having lived 1O4 years. He has
been in feeble health for several
months but was not considered to be

at the age of forty years and his old
est child is now nearly so years old.
Mr.. Journegan was veteran Of the
Mexican war and also OF the civil war.

Forecasts Biz Crops.

Despite the heat and drought which
blistered the whole of the Middle West
the stronghold of mighty agricul-
tural power-there is every indication
that the years output, taken as a
whole will be an average one writes
Isaac F. Marcosson in The Munsey.
According to the most conservative
estimates, the corn crop will not be
less than Isl, 900 bushels: wheat $780,
100000 bushels and oats, 100000.
These are all under last years figures
but not sufficient reduction to cause
any hardship to the farmer.
"Out of corn. last year, our farmers
shocked fifteen hundred million Of
dollars. The value Of the crop was
debt of the United States to buy all
the gold and silver mined in all the
countries OF the earth in 1909, and
still to leave surplus in the farmer
pocket"
