After having predicted a week of warm.
rainiess weather. and then sending along
two days like Tuesday and Yesterday.
the weather bureau today decided to I'M
cork little Christmas weather. with re-
suits pleasing to everybody. After
twentE-four hours of fog and drizzle, a
brisk wind from the northwest rising in
the early hours of the morning, drove the
dense fog away down the river and
brought along a slight tang of winter.
The forecast for today says clear and
colder, and up to the time of going to
press the weather bureau hadn't changed
its mind More Of the same sort is
promised for tomorrow. and there are
hints-merc nebulous intimations-that a
possibility of snow within the next few
days turks off somewhere in the far
northwest. SO maybe there'l be white
Christmas, after all.

The club that will break the backbone

opinion expressed by Prof Milton Whit
ney. chief of the bureau of soils. United
States Department of Agriculture. DR..
Whitney is the leading authority on soils
and their uses. and his many publications
on their adaptation to crop production
and their relation to food consumption
have attracted wide attention.
DR.. Whitney is preparing a bulletin on
soils Of the country and their relation to
the nations future food supply He draws
especial attention to the vast amount Of
uncultivated areas of land and the de-
cline in the cultivated areas compared
with the rapid increase Of the country's
population.
THE country is advancing in every
line" said DIR. Whitney. People are
living better than ever before. AS re-
suit we are stronger physically and
mentally. We are consuming more food
stuffs per capita than the population Of
the European countries, and l would not
for a moment attempt to discourage less
food consumption.

Fog Worst of Season.

The fog of yesterday and last night
was the worst of the season so far. 1t
covered the city. the District and sur
rounding territory with a blanket so
dense as to make the operation of
steam and electric railroads largely a
matter of gueSSwOrk. and d number of
accidents were narrowly avoided on
several of the lines entering the city.
On the river the fog was dense as
to make navigation practically i'm
possible, and the whistles or sirens of
fog bound vessels kept UP constant
clamor throughout the greater part
of the day and night
The steamer Charles Manchester, bear
ing party Of boy corn growers from
Ohio to Mount Vernon, ran ashore in
the fog yesterday afternoon and re-
manned stuck in the mud for some
time. A panic on the boat was
averted by the prompt action of party
fthe youthful farmers. who gathered
on the upper deck of the steamer and
sang a number of the booster songs
with which they amused themselves
and other passengers on the train that
bore them to Washington.
Cars in Collision.
Two cars on the Maryland division of
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company's line at 10Th street and Rhode
Island avenue northeast cOllided in the
fog last night and several windows were
broken. seats damaged and one passen-
ger, Frederick Greenhalga of East Hy-
attSville. Nd. sustained a painful cut
on the forehead. Car No. 40S had stopped
to discharge passengers and the motor
man of the car following. unable to see
the lights of the car anead because OF
the fog, crashed into it,
Cars on the Rockville electric line OPP
Grated at about half speed late yester-

night the dense fog making it impossible
to see the block signals half dozen
car lengths away. The same condition
is reported to have existed for some time
on other interurban lines, though no &C
cidents have been reported.
The fog extended over this entire re-
gion and as far down as the mouth of
the Potomac. while Chesapeake bay was
blanketed during the entire day and
night navigation being seriously impeded
on the bay and it's tributaries.

the question. For instance the states
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1912-12-19
In the Eastern Section.

The conditions in the eastern section
of the country are similar to those eX-
listing in other sections of the country.
So whether the cost of living is to be re-
duced or not, it is perfectly plain to even
the layman mind that to feed the pres
ent and constant growing population Of
the country a greater production of food
stuffs must be raised.
TO do this more people have got to re-
turn to the farms; 1t is necessary to put
more land under cultivation; more i'm
proved methods of agriculture and more
intensified farming must be followed.

land will have a yielding capacity Of
over eight times as much as at present.

THURSDAY, JULY IS, 1912.
THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.

The republicans can welcome with
open arms the declaration of the lead
ers Of the democratic party that the
tariff is to be the paramount issue in the
coming campaign and that they propose
to fight it out on the line of their old
cry of tariff for revenue only" They
have often been whipped on this same
issue, but Bourbon like, they never
learn.
Party ties have become 80 interlaced
and divisions on minor issues have so
obscured the main ones that 'twould be
wise man indeed who can prophesy
the result of the November election.
Let then there be cleaning out of the
petty issues and let the two old parties
go into the fray on a straight out fight
between the ideas of Protection and
Free Trade, with no modifying clauses
of downward revision, reciprocity, etc.,
and let the republican ''stand pat. "
We must confess a fondness for that
expression which means to back to
the extent of your skill and resources
what your judgment says is good on the
basic idea of protection, and there
should be no fear but that they will be
the winner. Certainly the south should
be solid for protection, as no section
needs it more at the present time.

WHERE HARM Is DONE.

The stories that sometimes appear in
the papers of phenomenal profits obtain
ed off one or two acres of land are de-
triment to the movement to persuade
people to get back to the land. They
are as damaging in their way as the pes
simistic accounts of absolute failure to
make any profit whatsoever on small
tracts of land.
That here and there a man may get a
vast return from an acre or two is no
doubt correct, but they are very rare ex-
ceptions. If people would regard them
as such no harm would follow, but the
trouble is that many impulsive and san
guine spirits with no practical knowl-
edge think they can go and do likewise.
When they make the try, az they usually
do, they meet with failure nine hundred
and nlnety-nine out of thousand, and
then they lose heart, give up and loudly
assert that the whole thing is sham.
But it is not. Living profits can be
made by almost every one who puts
commonsense, industry and intensive
ness into his work. And if one will but
adapt himself to new conditions he will
not only make a financial success but
also get lots of good health and enjoy
ment out of his venture
But let one always keep in mind that
there is no bonanza and that there is lots
of work in it. But far better all that
for many thousands of people than to
live from hand to mouth in a crowded
city and under trying conditions.

Community Counsel.

A town is like plant: 1t may grow
anyway; but it will grow faster if it is
cultivated.
We would be quick to defend this COM
munity in time of war. 1t is equally
urgent that we be prompt to promote its
welfare in time of peace.
The easiest m oney man acquires comes
from the increasing value of his home.
Therefore, the most important work he
does is helping the community to grow.
The value of each mans property is
enhanched by the value of the property
around it. 1t is not enough to build a
good house; we must help to make a
good town.
The seed from which springs this COM
munity's prosperity is the more that is
invested here at home. 1t will never
bear fruit for US if it is planted some
where else.
This town that is our residence to-day
is our children's recollection for a life
time. What shall they remember
Good stores, clean streets, comfortable
homes or something else.
The development of this community is
not matter of sentiment; it is matter
of common sense. 1t returns not only a
reward in contentment but a profit in
property valuation.
Human happiness depends on the
things that are nearest us-the home
first of all, and the town in which we
live. Whatever we do to make the
home pleasanter or the town better,
makes life more worth the living.
