NEgRAskA,s FARM OUTLET.

President Howard Elliott of the
Northern Pacific Railway company
recently called attention to the fact
that the value OF farm products in
this country last year was nearly
SO, 600 900, 900, and that the farms
annual crop value had nearly doubled
in the last eleven years.
That being the case. what should
happen in the next decade? The
farmer of this country has advant-
ages and knowledge which he did not
have eleven years ago by which he
ought to far more than double his out
put. He has at least rudimentary
knowledge of intensive farming and
each year this knowledge should grow
and he has the advantage Of certain
governmental aid, as reclamation and
irrigation in swamp and senli-arld ter
ritories upon larger scale and he has
larger and better railroad facilities
therefore, more advantageous markets
But aside from all this, and yet quite
| q part of IT., or, at least, a consequence
of it, he has access to an immensely
greater area of land for cultivation
than he had eleven years ago and each
year this area will grow.

ONE MILLION
RED CROSS SEALS
Half That Number Have Already
Been Placed for Sale in
the State.

From the Press Bureau, Board OF
Control of State Institutions. De-
partment on Tuberculosis.]
DIES MONIES, Nov. 1G.-The de-
partment on tuberculosis has been
made state agent by the national as
ISOLATION for the study and prevention
of tuberculosis for the sale OF the
Red Cross Christmas seals this year
State Lecturer A. Il. Kepford is IN
charge of the sale and recently made
an order for 100000 seals. 1t is ex-
pected, however, that this number
will be augmented before the holiday
season is past for already more than
100000 have been placed on sale
throughout the state. Orders are daily
arriving for seals from women's clubs,
civic bodies and various other organ
izations throughout the state.
1t is well understood that the de-
partment on tuberculosis will not
realize one penny from this sale, but
that each community conducting
sale will use it's own money as it may
Sc, fit in the relief of tuberculosis. 1t
may not be quite understood that
only 121s per cent of the gross pro-
ceeds of the sale is to be returned TO
the department of tuberculosis, and
| from thence to be RENTED to the
national association for the study ana
prevention of tuberculosis, while S71s
per cent is to be retained by the To-
cality conducting the sale.
/ 1t will be seen, therefore, that this
is a splendid method of educating the
public for the seals are a most at
tractive sticker which can be placed
on the reverse side of letters, on
Christmas parcels and the like anu
that large numbers of people each
holiday season use Christmas stamps
which carry messages Of joy and the
complim ents of the season.
Arrangements have already beer
tperfected in most of the principal cit
lies of the state and it is anticipated
that a large amount of money for edu
cation or relief work on tuberculosis
will result. Not only the larger cities
but very many of the smaller towns
some not exceeding one lhousahd IL
habitants, are ordering the Christ
mas seals, many of those smalle
places preferring to use the proceed
resulting by assisting the large
|. places where active work in the reiie
of tuberculosis is being carried or

rapidly in the state, number OF tn

HOW MUCH CORN TO THE ACRE.

HOW MUCH CORN TO THE ACRE.
What is the average number OF
bushels of corn grown to the acre in
Iowa this year? What's the output
per acre in the United States? 1t is
too early to tell, as the crop is not
gathered. But there are statistics OF
former years and they will not differ
widely from those of this year. But
the average this year will be, and in
past years has been away below what
the crop experts tell us is possible.
The average is going higher all the
time.
! But this is not all of it. While
there will be more corn grown on
every acre planted in that grain the
corn-growing area will be extended
in actual acres. In this connection
| it is to be said that the national de-
partment of agriculture has been do
ing some notable work in the South
where they have not been growing
enough corn to fill their own wants.
i MANY illustrations could be given.
Here is one, not the best or the
worst: On 10000 acres in Georgia,
which are being cultivated along the
!. lines of the United States demonstra-
, ton plan the increase in yield of corn
hsa been little more than 100000
bushels On $4,000 acres. OF cotton
in the experiment work along the
same lines, the increase has amount
3 ed to 41,600 bales. This has beer
n added to the production Of the area
# under demonstration auspices. VIVA
is true of corn and cotton is equal!
so of other crops where the same at
q tention has been paid to growth.
q These results have been secured
!, not once, but as often as intelligence
/. and care have been applied; not il
one county or in one state, buet gen
orally, these results have been as sur
e. prising as they have been gratifying
