Down to 1880 the census figures relate
to the contiguous territory of continental
United States At that census Alaska was
enumerated, and in 1900 Hawaii, Porto
Rico, the Philippine islands, Guam and
Samoa we're included. Therefore in the
censuses of 1900 and 1910 a considerable ad-
dition to the population came through an
nexation of territory. If the population is
limited to that of the states and territor-
les, the figures for 1890 would be 62,9477 IA

To meet Mr.. Walker and obtain his views
is at this time a rare treat because of the
fact that Nebraska boosters propose to
follow CALIFORNIA; lead in advertising the

ment on foot for some time TO secure an
act Of the legislature creating a fund Of
at least $4,000 annually to maintain an

a bill will be presented to the legislature

Transnlantinn.

Transplanting such vegetables as to-
matoes and cabbage is of value in
making the plants stocky and in de-
veloping the root system. In trans
planting care should be taken not to
break too many roots. If the ground
Is moistened before the plants are
taken up the dirt will cling to the
roots and few of them will be broken.
The garden trowel is the best nipple
ment with which to take up plants for
transplanting. The same instrument
may be used 10 make the hole in
which the plants are to be placed See
that the roots are spread out well and
not all compacted in one bunch.
Transplanting In the garden had bet
ter be done toward evening or on a
cloudy day to prevent whiting. If the
ends of part of the leaves are pinched
off evaporation will be checked and
the plants chance for living through
the operation improved. A little wa

the soil is dry. A piece of paper
placed over each plant and held down
with clods for the first day or so will
help them 10 get start.

$500 FOR THREE DAYS WORK
How 1t Paid a Kansas Boy to Use
Disker Before Flowing Wheat.


Last year the extension department
Of the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege issued a circular urging disking
wheat Immediately following the head
er, to be plowed two or three weeks
later Most of the farmers thought
this would be too much trouble for the
increase in yield it might bring, but a
boy In Edwards county persuaded his
father to let him have thirty acres on
which to try that plan. His older
brother also had thirty acres adjoining
his field. which he put in in the or
binary way. the same as his father did
1000 acres. The soil was the same,
the seed wheat was the same. and the
rainfall was the same.
The only factor that differed in the
history OF the crop was the disking of
the wheat stubble Immediately after
the header Yet the wheat thrashed
out forty-six bushels and ten pounds
to the acre for the ground that had
been so treated, and the brothers yield
was only twenty-five bushels. That
was about the average for the 1000
acres of the farm also. Wheat at 90
cents would pay TIE boy who disked
before time to plow about $500 for
three days work.

consideration that since these towns

The regulations under which this

also the prices at which it will be dis
posed of to the lucky ones. 1t is hoped
that the department will use a little
better judgment in fixing the price of
the land so as to really enable some of
the poor people to make home on the
land. The Canadian government even
offers inducements to its homesteaders
and gives the land free, while our
government has frequently put on
unreasonable prices which tended to
detract from settlement rather than to
