Plenty Of Room ror
More People On Farms

Herbert Quick, editor of Farm and
Fireside, writes an interesting article
+ in the current issue of his periodical
on the causes that are back of the
high cost of living. Following is an
extract:
What we want to know is why there
are not more people on the farms.
have just read in magazine the ex-
planation-they are all stirred up
about it-that "all the available land
is taken up That is true if fencing
and owning, and cut-and-covering is
taking up
But any farmer knows that there
is room for twice, three times, as
many people on the farms as are there
now | heard Mr.. John w. BookwaI=
ter, of Springfield and the rest of the
world, read paper on this subject
last winter He called the attention
of his hearers to the rush of people
to the cities as great danger to the
world-to civilization.
He seemed to miss the effect he
himself has had on this matter of
the rush of people to the cities. Mr.
Book walter possesses from $4,000 to
10000 acres of farmland On this i'm
mense domain there live probably
from a thousand to fifteen hundred
people. This is in Nebraska
In Nebraska, too, lives Arnold Mar
tin. who on q acres makes money,
besides supporting his family. If the
land owned by Mr.. Bookwalter were
owned by the men who work it, there
would be living ON it three thousand
ordinary Nebraska farm folk, instead
of fifteen hundred people.
If it were owned by men like Ar
mold Martin, there would be room for
three thousand, five hundred families,
or say population of $4,000 people
o nthis same estate, which now sup
ports 1,500 people on one-half the
crops-and Mr.. Bookwalter on the
other half.
What would be the effect on the
cost of living If every tenant-farmer
in these United States were all at
once changed into an owner of his
farm? Would it not change most Of
them into better farmers? 1t surely
would. They would manure more
heavily, establish better rotations, Sry
fertilizers, cease skinring the laGc,
begin trying to make the place AIDE
quate to the support not only of .he
old folks, but of the children.

of the biggest in Tvs feet, was lowed

INVESTIGATING DROWNING

Testimony from every available
source concerning the running down
of the gasoline launch Lotus by the
excursion steamer Angler last Sunday
night, short distance north of Alex
andria, when Mrs. Bessis Haller and
Mrs. Sarah Nelson lost their lives by
drowning, will be offered by about 20
witnesses at the inquiry ordered by
the board of local inspectors of steam
boats at Baltimore was begun at 10
o5'clock this morning at Mariners s
temple, 1247 Seventh street south
west, Washington.
A coroner's jury will sit this after
noon at 2:30 o'clock and make an in
vestigation of the incidents preceding
and surrounding the death Of the two
young women.
The declaration Of officers of the
Angler on the night Of the tragedy
that the Lotus failed to carry the
lights required by the regulations Of
the steamboat inspection service, will
be thrashcd out by witnesses for the
the owner Of the Angler and Of A.
W. Simpson, owner Of the launch.
"We will produce testimony" said
Charles T. Diggs, counsel for Simpson
"to show that there was light burn
ing in the cockpit. Any lack of other
lights required will be shown to have
been caused by water getting into the
lamps, condition that was discovered
too late to remedy. We will also have
testimony to show that the river was
lighted by bright moon."
"The board Of local inspectors" /"
said Gen. George Uhler, superintend-
cnt and inspector general OF steam
boat inspection "can do little more
than to fix the blame for the collision,
unless the officers Of the Angler prove
to be at fault. The pilot of the Ang-
Ter being regularly licensed, could be
ordered before trial board, which
would revoke his license if he were
shown to be culpable. On the other
hand the regulation concerning lights
to be carried by river craft is very
plain"
Capt. Dean of the harbor precinct,
said last nirht if called before the
board he will testify to finding the run
ming lights of the Lotus in sort OF
combination washroom and closet or
board the boat.
