WASHINGTON, Oct THAT in
stead of a corn crop of 3,0O0,000,000
bushels and a wheat crop of 100000
bushels, record breaking though they are,
this country on the existing acreage
might have produced more than 5000
0O0O00 bushels of corn and 1,2000O000O
bushels of wheat with other crop
increases in proportion, is one of the
most significant statements made as a
result of the collection and tabulation of
figures here covering the bumper harvest
for the year. While the yields of many
crops break all previous records, and
it is certain that all will be large, the
present situation as regards the high cost
of Irving, it is being pointed out by
agricultural experts here, is such that
the general satisfaction with the agri-
cultural showing must be tempered with
a realization that even heavier yields
must be secured in the future
In spite of the enormous crop returns
this country has really been negiecting
its agricultural possibilities and should
have produced a much greater yield
from the acreage planted to its staple
crops, m the opinion of Truman G.
Palmer, who has devoted many years
of study to this question. For instance,

nOpOly of West Texas Lands.
Austin, Texas. Oct IA strong note
of warning is sounded by J. T. Ropi-
son, land commissioner, in a chapter
OF his forthcoming annual report
which is under the caption of Land
Monopoly" Commissioner Robson
doubts the wisdom of the exceedingly
large holdings of certain land owners
throughout the state, and takes the
position that il keeps the average man
who is seeking a home upon which to
settle, from attaining that desirable
object He goes into details as to
how the first great colOnizations or
large holdings were acquired, which
dates back to 1892 in the days of the
socalled .empresarios and comes down
to the days of the ranchmen in which
the ownership ranges varied from 1000
to j 100000 acres of land. The COM
missioner believes that the loan agen-
cies should in some way be regulated

the outer dazzle remains. The mon

prOclaims that they are of superior

the average European sees that star

acknowledges, in his heart, his essen

be conscious that he possesses greater

that it is only since Germany took up
the cultivation of the beet that she has
so easily outdistanced the United States.
Further support IS given to this claim
by the fact that where this system has
been used IN this country marked
increase in all crop yields has been
shown. Figures collected from high
class farmers IN this country show that

Scientific rotation IN connection with
the culture of the sugar beet" says Mr..
Palmer, @has doubled and trebled the
yield of staple crops in Europe. To-day,
as a result of the benehcent culture of
these tubers, the WORKOUT soil OF
Europe is twice as productive per acre as
our own rich western lands. America
has Jagged behind Europe in learning
this important agricultural lesson But
now the farmers of the West and Middle
West are realizing its value 1 have
gathered reports from hundreds of these
farmers showing their yields in the
staple crops before and after rotation

with the sugar beet The figures are
Startling. They indicate that if the
average American farmer followed the
lead of his beet raising brethren, the
production of our fields would be in
creased over 100 per cent. Our crops in
Ethe i've staples would show an increased
value of $3,817, 6O3OOO annually. This
smpendous sum may arouse skepticism,
but 1t is simply deduction from cold
figures.
The sugar beet is in itself a valuable
fcrop, in addition to its aid TO the pro
EductlvIty of the farm generally Many
beet farmers report a greater profit per
acre from beets than from any other
crop. The farmer sells his beetS to the
beet sugar factory at price fixed before
he plants his seed, thus making him
independent of the speculator. The beet
tops and the pulp left over after the
sugar has been extracted from the beet
make excellent fattening fodder for the
stock. So nothing is lost to the farmer.
L believe we are about to enter upon
an era of wonderful agricultural de-
velopment with the sugar beet as
basis. As soon as European govern
.ments realized the value of the sugar
beet they forced its development by
heavy export bounties on beet sugar and
heavy protective tariffs against the i'm
port of the cane product OF the tropics.
If our government continues to. give the
American farmers a tariff protection
against sugar grown in foreign countries
under the cheapest labor IN the world,

been filled with accounts OF the most

There appears 10 be considerable

according to Mr. Palmer, were the agr-
cultural methods IN vogue here which
are generally IN use in Germany, the
Weld of many of our principal crops
might have been almost double even the
bumper figures. In support of tins
claim he has prepared a chart covering
the thirty-year period from 1879 to 1909
which shows that the average collective
weld of wheat. rye, barley and oats IN
Germany for 1909 was nearly 80 bushels
an acre as against fraction more than
Il bushels IN the United States. In
1909, he points out, the combined yield
Of these crops In Germany from Sa,5I8'-
$50 acres was !, 81, 100000 bushels while
in this country it required nearly three
times as much land, that is 6, $4,000
acres TO produce 4 total of ,94l ,Oo5-OOO
bushels. This difference is all the more
striking because of the fact that the
chart shows that in 1879 the average
yield per acre IN the two countries was
practically the same, Germany'S figure at
that n time being about y bushels as
against 20 for the United States Up
to 1891 in fact the German superiority
was not great, but from that year on It
became rapidly more marked until at the
end of 1909 the average crop yield. per
acre in that country had increased eighty
per cent as against only six and six
Eenths per cent. IN this country.
In other words, according to Mr.
Palmer, this country has been practically
standing still agriculturally, although its
lands are superior AMI the same methods
which have brought about Germany's
success are readily available. The secret
Of this success, says Mr.. Palmer, IS the
German practice of sugar beet cultiva
hon in rotation with other crops, and he
points out in substantiation Of this claim

that territory for some 80 years have
never realized enough from it to pay

Commissioner Robson finds that
few large land owners are ever under
the necessity of selling or converting
the land into a revenue asset It is
usually held for such increase in value
as time, population and the industry
of others viii bring it. He maintains
that when large bodies of unimprOved
agricultural land are withheld from
the industry of men, it is an obstacle
to the development of the country. The

Vaughn, on July II. last. Both parties
occupied prominent places in the COM
munity and had many friends. Moore
was mayor of East Vaughn, and both
he and TudOr had been friends and
neighbors. The trouble, it is said,
started over the boyhood quarrels of
the young sons of the two men. It is
claimed by the defence that a plan had
been laid, to which the elder Tudor
was a party. by which the two small
Tudor boys were to whip MoOres boy,
of about the same age, at the ball
ground on the afternoon Of the kill

Moore interfered, he would take care
