way from the other explosion.
1t is reported from Kenosha that
only seventeen men were at work in
the plant at the time of the explosion
and that twelve OK them had been ac-
counted for.
Pleasant Prairie was a village OF
about $50 Inhabitants.
The telegraph wires were Frustrated
by the explosion, the only means of
communication left being one tele-
phone wire. After call for help

lost, and there is no means of learning

Prairie, save from the first hystericai
appeal for help.
Pleasant Prairie is about ten miles
from Kenosha. officials of the latter
town procured automobiles and other
vehicles to rush aid to the victims of
the explosion.

HAVE WE TOO MANY FARMS?

The census announcement that
there are $4,000 farms in the
United States, and that, nevertheless,
the food supply is not keeping pace
with the growth of population, sug-
| gests some curious reflections on the
effect of subdivision of holdings of ag-
ricultural lands. Many students of
sociology hold that the average of citi-
zenship is improved by having as
many farmers managing their own
properties as possible. 1t is argued,
and with much reason, that even the
owner of small farm has a stake in
the community, develops the habit of
thinking for himself, exercises the
initiative every day and hour, and is
likely to be a more wholesome factor
in the community than the man who
works for wages, no matter how high,
and takes orders continuously from
someone else instead of giving orders.
But there is another side, an eco
nomic side, to the discussion, that can
not be ignored In Ireland for exam
pie, the greater part of the agricul-
tural land is said to be in holdings of
! five acres, mostly tenant holdings, of
course; but on leases fully protected
| by law. The raising of cattle on such
holdings is impossible. Economical
! agriculture is also impossible except
with the sort of intensive farming that
demands some capital. France has ex-
perienced, since the Revolution, the
same sort of subdivision of holdings.
The result has been the same. Even
now, the French authorities, confront
ed by high prices for meats, are con-
sidering the removal of restrictions on
American and colonial importations.
France, like Ireland, cannot raise her
own meat, and for precisely the same
reason.
Though the dividing of land among
children is unrestricted in America,
the vast aggregate area of farming
/ lands has made like process of de-
velopment slower here, and doubtless
the temptations to young men to go
into mechanical or commercial life
have added in checking such develop
ment. Yet we have high prices here
for meat products, and every year the
amount of grazing land is being cut
down. And the increase in the num-
Der of farms, though almost none are
as low as the five acres common in
ireland and coming to be common in
France, is in continuous operation.
The question arises, therefore, have
We too many farms? Much can clear
ly be done on 1000 acres that cannot
be done on ten holdings of 100 acres
each. Industry can be systematized,
Economy in farm machinery is OBJ
vious. The wise use Of grazing lands
is possible. How many small farms
are there in the East where a fair per
centage of the land Is grazing land,
but where the keeping Of cattle is not
found profitable, and acre on acre re-
mains unusued year after year,
High prices for meats will compel
attention to this question sooner or
later. We are still much better off
than many other countries. AS for
other food products from the farm,
more scientific intensive farming will
be done every year, and the outcome
OF that gradual change will be entirely
satisfactory, so far as anybody can
now prophesy Eagle
