Goethe's Birthday.

An amusing story, taken from BODIES
book on Goethe, appears in a Paris
contemporary. In August, 1918, Goe-
the went to Carlsbad for the cure, and
placed himself under the care of DR..
Rehbein. One morning when he rose
he requested Charles, his domestic, to
place bottle of red wine and q glass
In each of the two windows in the
room.
Then the poet walked round and
round the apartment, stopping at each
window to drink a glass of wine.
When he had nearly 'emptied the bot
ties the doctor arrived. All" said
Goethe, you are come. Do you know
1t Is my birthday" NO" said the
doctor, ut is not your birthday. 1t
falls tomorrow"
Only the production Of the almanac
could convince Goethe that he was a
day out In his reckoning. When he
discovered his mistake he gave vent
to a strong expression which Scott
puts in the mouth of Capt. Manly
Ewart. and, after a long pause, turn.
Ing to the doctor, said: Then l have
got drunk for nothing"

DECLINE IN.
AGRICULTURE; SOME
ASTONISHING FEATURES

The great American republic
las more good farming land than
any other country in the world,
and with its varieties of climate
it produces, or can produce, every
article Of food consumed by it's
Inhabitants with the single exception
of coffee.
With three million square miles
of territory and one hundred mill
lions of inhabitants the country
ought to be overlooking with food.
with the hgurarive milk and foney,
bur if one listens to the. common re-
port. food products, if not srarcer,
are said to be held at higher prices
in this land of plenty than anywhere
else. But a curious fact connected
with the situation is that with our
rich lands and great population our
rate of crop yield is shamefullv
small compared with those of other
nation from which little would be
expected. During the fiscal year
just passed there was great scar
city of potatoes in this country and
millions of dollars worth of them
had to be imported. from foreign
countries, and when some inquiry
was made as to our potato crop it
was found that every European
country far Overtops the. United
States in the yield per acre of
potatoes, and this a regular
business. Our average yield of
potatoes to the acre is 81 bushels,
while that of England is 224 bushels
and the other European nations
ranking lower, but all far above
the United States.
A little investigation having
revealed fact far from compli-
mentary to our United States agri-
culture, a question was asked dis to
our rating in wheat in comparison
with other nations. An investiga-
ton gives these figures:
England, 80 bushels to the acre.
Germany, Is bushels to the acre.
Franco Is bushel. to the acre.
Canada. Is bushels to the acre.
United States 1873 bushels tn the
acre. Argentine, 13 bushels to the
acre.
India, IL bushels to the acre.
Australia. 9 bushels to the acre.
Russia, 8 bushels to the acre.
There is something humiliating
in such showing, particularly
since throughout the world, our
country has been regarded as the
land of promise. 1t can be seen
from the figures given above Why
some half-million farmers from on,
northern states have sold out and
gone to Canada, and yet British
writer on Canadian agriculture
declares that Canada is not an ideal
wheat growing country in which
anybody can scratch the soil and
produce abundant crops.-Spring.
