land and immigration Is adding TO the
United States. This is counted on by
the statisticians who prophesy early
supremacy over London FOR New
York.
But the prophecy Is, and all such
prophecies must be, mere guesswork
Human wisdom cannot pierce the veil
.ot the future. In an earthly likcli-
hood, however, the time cannot be far
of when New York will be the larg-
est city in the world BUT Chicago
statisticians have made calculations
which satisfy them that If New York
attains this glory she cannot hold il
long. Chicago statisticiaus are con-
WINGED tnat manifest destiny is work

fore the end of the present century
the largest city I'm tile world will be

THE WORLDS LARGEST CITY.

Is New York TO surpass London i'm
population? Is she TO accomplish the
feat i'm less than twenty years? There
are statisticians who figure this out.
They live i'm New York.
The 1911 English census shows that
the population of London is 1852, 1868,
AN increase OF 1920 per cent in ten
years. I'm the previous ten years end
ing i'm 1900 the PERCENTAGE of increase
was 12.17 per cent. The population of
New York is 4766,SS5. This is 65.72
per cent. of London's population. New
Gorks rate of increase from 1900 to
1910 was 3S.7 per cent. While New
York in ten years added 1,329.GS3 to
its population, London added about
100000. If this relative growth We're
maintained by both cities New York
would pass London in about twcnty-
five years. However, the prophetic
statisticians give to New York i'm 1880
a population of 100000. This is done
by taking into account the progress
sive rate of increase or the gain in
rate which each successive decade
shows on it's immediate predecessor.
Computing ON the same basis and maxi
ing the loss i'm rate for each success
sive decade a factor. London will fan
behind New York i'm population i'm
about nineteen years.

how he explains; The average Michi-
gan potato crop is little over 100
bushels 10 the acre. I'm the state Of
Maine the average is about $50 bush
els. Yet the soil and the climate of
Maine is NO better adapted for potato
growing than Michigan. I'm Maine.
however they raise potatoes ON scien-
tihc principles. They never plant a
field two years in succession with
potatoes. Their rule is to take a crop
oi potatoes from a field one year, the
next year crop of oats, and the third
y ear crop of clover. Then, after tho
clover crop is harvested. they pillow the
field i'm August for planting the fol-
lowing spring. Two-thirds of the har-
rowing and cultivating for the potato
crop is done before the potatoes are
planted. The potato tops are sprayed
not only for pests but 10 keep the vines
green, for the tubers viii keep grow
ing as long as the vines are green
and no longer. The growing crop will
Increase as much as 100 bushels an
acre in three weeks by treating the
vines 90 keep them green. Because
OF the scientific growing not only do
Maine farmers grow more then twice
as many bushels 10 the acre as Michi-
gan farmers. but Maine potatoes COM
mand a higher price i'm the New York
and Boston markets than Michigan
potatoes, and this because the Maine
potatoes do not ripen prematurely by
the vines being allowed to wither be-
fore their time, as too often do Michi-
gan says Prof. Smith.
