Will Seek New Location.

G. tain Leaders OF the Gurley Church
are prominent in the negotiations and
expect to bring the matter formally be-
fore the congregation within a short
time Rev. DR.. J. Russell Verbrycke
has been pastor of Gurley Church for
a number of years. and it is expected
that If the church is sold the congrega-
ton will pick location for the proposed
new church in the 10Th street extended
section of the city, or at least out on
that thoroughfare. where the city is
rapidly building.
The moving of the congregation from
the Florida avenue section of the city
will. il is said, greatly relieve the situa-
ton which arises because OF the fact
that Gurley. Gunton-Temple Memorial,
Northminster and lexington Presbyterian
churches practically surround territory
which leaders OF the presbytery have all
along maintained does not call for so
many churches of the denomination
The 400 members of the Vermont Ave-
nue. Baptist Church who enter the new
congregation are not satisfied. it is de-
clared, with the conditions in that church.

Nav Succeed Allen.

Thomas w. Brahany, who has been the
secretary to the tariff board, which went
out of existence July 1 because the demo-
Gratis did not make further appropriations
for it's continuance, is likely to become
assistant secretary to President Taft in
place of Sherman Allen, who is now as
Sistant secretary of the Treasury.
Mr.. Brahany is an expert in tariff mat
tiers. His name has been presented to
the President by friends who think he
would make an ideal man for the posi-
ton. 1t is not known, however. whether
Mr.. Brahany would accept the position
if offered to him. He has been DESTROYS
of returning to newspaper work, which
he left to enter the service of the tariff
board.

1t is the hope of Secretary Thompson

is to have the notification committee
stand upon the south lawn of the White

The speech Of acceptance is likely to
be the most important utterance to come
from the President during the campaign
and will make up the principal docu-
ment for the campaign work of the re-
publican national committee.
1t is the purpose of the President to
give a clear and succinct Interpretation of

There will be no hedging, lodging or

Dangers to Be Shown.
The President firmly believes that the
republican doctrine of tariff revision
after careful investigation of tariff
schedules and conditions in this coun-

vast majority of those who understand
the intricacies Of customs taxation.
He will intimate that if the people
prefer to try the democratic theories
they may prepare for periods of bust

workingmen pending the readjustments
that would follow legislation for re-

The work of the administration for
three and a half years will be carefully

that the people may take an interest in
what has been accomplished and judge
achievements in the past. but by the
promises that will be made for the flu

The Size Of Farms.

The varying size of farms
seems to follow the law that the
older the country becomes, the
less will be the area of the farms.
This law, however, does not hold
universally true. In 1850 the
average size of all farms in the
United States was 202 acres; in
1860, 1879 acres; in 1870, 15S
acres; in 1880, 1873 acres; in 1890,
1856 acres; ir 1900, 146 acres; in
1910, 1873 acres.
Since 1850 there was a steady
reduction in the acreage until
1890. In 1890 and 1900 there
was a marked increase. 1t should
be noted that the circumstances
that made the recorded increase
in 1890 were taking place between
1880 and 1890. During that de-
cade the states of the Middle
West were rapidly developed and
tens of thousands of new farms
were cultivated for the first time.
These farms were mainly of I6O
acres, a size considerably in ex-
cess Ufthe average.
Baxter Springs news. [volume] (Baxter Springs, Kan.) 1882-1919, 1912-10-31

During the last decade the av-
erage size of farms throughout
the country has diminished eight
acres. 1t is probable that from
now on the size of farms will
continually decrease. There are
no large areas of good public
lands to be taken as homeSteads
and the present wise tendency is
to cultivate fewer acres and to do
the work better.
Missouri and Kansas are two
states in which the average acre
age of farms has Increased with
in the last decade. Missouri
farms have grown from an aver
age of 119 acres in 1900 to 124 in
1910; Kansas farms have in-
creased from 24O acres to pa
acres. In both states the in-
crease in acreage of farms. Is
doubtless due to the puschasei OF
neighboring farms BY successful
farmers. Many of the younger
generations have moved away
and improved agricultural imple-
meuts have made it possible to
take care of more ground. The
large average acreage Of West

ern Kansas wheat farms is re-
sponsible for the large average
acreage of Kansas farms.
In Oklahoma and Texas the
farms are being reduced in size.
Oklahoma's farms now average
Isl acres as compared with 212
ten years ago. Texas farms
average 200 acres and were 357
in 1900. In both states large
stock ranches have been cut up
into smaller farms, thus reduc-
ing the average acreage.
Irrigation will add vast areas
to the cnltivable areas in the
United States; drainage will re-
claim much land that now pro-
duces no crops, but both these
agencies cannot bring lands into
cultivation as fast as the popula-
ton increases. One of two re-
suits is. inevitable: either the size
of.the farms will continually de
miuish or American farmers will
become tenants to absentee land
lords. We believe that the farms
will.grow smaller.
