Resarding these figures the report
says:
~ will be noted that while the up
state rs a whole shows lower rate than
New York City. both for all classes Of
,rafYic and for automobiles. the cities Of
NonSers, Rochester and Buffalo show
much higher rates. The street car rate
N those cities is practically the same
AZ in New York, the increase being
chiefly due to the relative increase Of
automobile accidents.
The high rate for Yonkers Ia easily
explained by Its proximity to New York
and TO the fact that many Of the main
highways out OF New York pass
through 1t. II thus has an automobi
traffic greatly disproportionate to its
population.

SYRACUSE AND ALBANY.

THE high rates for Rochester and
Buffalo. and the low figures for SYRIA
Ase and Albany are not so easily ex-
ained. but are very likely due to the
relative efficiency Of their respective
Police Departments.
I'm Rochester and Buffalo conditions
Of traffic approximate those In Now
York. and It would seem as though reg
ulative measures had not kept pace with
them. AT all events, New York is the
safest city of the first class In the
State.
1T must be understood also that
cheese figures are based on the three
winter months during which traffic
accidents are at their lowest figure.
Rates based on q years complete OBJ
ssrvation would probably be from 81
per cent. to 80 per cent. higher. owing
to much greater number of vehicles
Of all sorts that take the roads In the

GOOD WORK FOR FUTURE CIT.
IZENS.

No better work can be done for the
future citizens of the state in prepar-
ing them for the practical exigiences
of making a living than the training
accorded by the corn clubs Rapidly
the number of members in these
clubs is increasing, showing clearly
how vital is this wholesome move
ment of which the Atlanta Journal
says:
The rapid and substantial growth
Of the Boys Corn club movement il
Georgia is shown in report recentlJ
issued by the State College of Agri-
culture. Flourishing clubs are now
organized in one hundred and forty
counties, and their aggregate men,
bership is practically ten thousan l
boys.
The significance of this enterprise
to the states farming interests and
to commercial and industrial affairs
cannot be overgauged. The Boys Corn
clubs have not only increased average
acre yield of corn and improved the
quality of the grain, but they have also
aroused new enthusiasm in every field
Of scientific agriculture. Through their
efforts, Georgia is coming to be a
greater producing state and,
therefore, more prosperous and indie
pendent
1t is also gratifying to note the
Girls clubs are thriving. Their mem
bership is approximately twenty-five
hundred; and if the college is given
adequate means for extending this
work, the Girls clubs will soon rival
those of the boys.

INCOME TAX AND CONSTITUTION
(New York Evening Post.)

(New York Evening Post.)
So far as its general purpose IS
concerned, the income taX-section OF
the tariff bill had more than smooth
sailing when it came up in the House
of Representatives yesterday. Repub-
llcans as we'll as Democrats expressed
their APPROVAL of it; plainly, the senti-
ment of the country is in favor of such
a measure without distinction Of
party or section. AS to the improve
ments in phraseOlogy contained in the
committee amendments offered and
adopted, the press reopTts do not serve
to show what these changes are; but
we shall be very much surprised #
they are adequate TO the removal of
the objections that have been made to
the manner in which the bill was
drawn. 1t is probably to the Senate
that we shall have to look for a thor
oughgoing Improvement in this refard.
A highley interesting incident was the
moving by Mr.. Calder and the opposing
by Mr.. Fitzgerald-both of New York
or an amendment making the tax ap-
plicable to the salaries of state, county
and municipal officers, which are ex-
empt under the bill. Thus early does
the question arise which was the bas-
is of Governor Hughes objection 10
the income tax amendment-the cues
ton whether the phrase from what
ever source derived" make the instru-
mentalities OF state government sub
ject to the taxing power of the United
States. The motion was defeated, nor
is there much reason to believe thai
such move will find favor in the neal
future; but if a Congress should hap
pen to be inclined that way, this fea
ture of the income tax amendment
would raise constitutional question
of great importance, and no one cal
say what would be the decision Of :
by the Supreme Court

Is known to civilized man. In Asia
there are great regions still to be

the Arabs know anything about. In
tn region of the Himalayas in Africa,
in Peru, in the islands of the sea it is
the same story Much of this little

POVERTY ON JAPAN'S FARMS
Workers Cannot Eat the Best PrOdcUts
of Their Own Fields.

edwin Markham, in n. Y. American J
Owing to the Japanese problem now
so acute in California the following &C
count has timely interest. 1t is taken
from Clarence Poes book, Where Half
the World is Waking Up" book sent
out recently by the Doubleday Page
Press. Mr. Pope says of the Japanese
farms:
Forty six farmers out of every 100
in Japan own less than 1-3 acres OF
land. 90 more out of every 100 own less
than 10 acres, and only one man in
100 owns as much as % acres.
Ordinarily, however, these little
handkerchie'-sized farms yield amaz-
ingly. 1t has been shown my Prof F.
G. King that the fields of Japan are
cultivated so intensively, fortified so
painstakingly, and kept so continuous
ly producing some crop that they feed
2,277 people to the square mile, and
that q. 1921 square miles of cultivated
fields in the cain islands support a
population of 48,542,367. If the titled
fields of Iowa, for example, supported
an equal number of people per square
mile. the population 50 supported
would be over 1OO,0O0,0OO. That state
alone could feed the entire population
of the United States and then have an
excess produce left for exports to 9TH
er countries
These Japanese lands have been IN
cultivation for unnumbered centuries
"0f course with a population SO
dense and with each man cultivatins

THE UNKNOWN REGIONS
Boston Herald.)

Boston Herald.)
1T is a small world after ALL" We
say when we suddenly meet friend
far from home, or when we compare
our little earth with the infinite spaces
of the universe. When Peary at last
attained the North Pole and Amundsen
the South Pole we cried, Man is now
master of the earth; there are no
places left to conquer But we get a
reminder that this is a mistaken bit of
enthusiasm in the accounts of an eX-
pendition that sets out, with the
backing of great American univers-
ity, to spend three years in exploring
the upper waters of the Amazon. The
mightiest OF rivers flows for hundreds
of miles through a region of which
civilized man knows absolutely moth
ing. He does not even know the names
of the tribes that live in the great pun
giles. 1t is a region undoubtedly rich
in strange forms of animal and vege-
table life, and probably with fabulous
stores of untouched minerals in its
mountain Businesses.
And the region of the upper Amazon
is onlny one of the unknown parts OF
the earth There are fully 100000
square miles of land on the earth-an
area almost as large as North Amer
ica-of which man knows nothing eX-
cept the outline. The Mcmillan expe-
dition, which will set out next month
under the auspices of the American
Museum of Natural History. is to
spend three years in exploring Crock
er Land, a vast and vague region
probably large enough to be classed
as continent, which lies between
Western North America and the North
Pole.
In the Antarctic there is a region

bergman in Washington Star.

an area no larger than a garden patch
in America, the people are poor, aud
the wonder is that they are able to
produce food enough to keep the coun-
try from actual want. Practically no
animal meat is ever eaten. If we ex-
cept fish, the average American eats
twice as much meat in a week as the
average Japanese does in year; to be
exact, $50 pounds of meat per capita
is required per year for the average
American, against IL pounds for the
average Japanese. Many of the farm
ers are too poor even to eat good
quality of rice. Consequently Japan
presents the odd phenomenon of being
at once an exporter and large i'm
porter of rice. Poor farmes sell their
good rice and buy poorer quality
brought in from the mainland of Asia
and mix it with barley for grinding.
only about one farmer in three has
a horse or an OK; in most cases all
the work must be done by hand and
with crude tools. 1t is pitiful-or
rather it would be pitiful if they did
not appear so contented-to see men
breaking the ground, not by blowing,
but by digging with kuwas-long
handled tools with blades perhaps
inches wide and feet long.
with land so scarce it is, of course,
necessary to keep something on the
ground every growing day from years
end to years end. Truckers and gar
deners raise three crops year. The
crops in Japan are not very varied.
Rice represents half the agricultural
values. Next to rice, wheat, vege-
tables, soy beans, sweet potatoes, and
fruits.
The hillsides or mountain slopes
are cultivated to the last available
foot and in dry seasons you may even
see the men and women carrying
buckets uphill to water any suffering
crop"

ONE ACRE ENOUGH FOR HIM
New York Sum-

George Higginbotham, of Mountain
Home, Ark, says that he will again
make living off his acre of land there
this season of drouth does not
strike his section. This on an
acre, too, that ten years ago grew
nothing but hog weds and would hard
ly sprout a grain of corn. Intensified
farming does it, and MIR. Higginbotham
lis known as the most intense farmer
in the country. His living is not Il
meagre one, as one might suppose,
either, for it comes right fresh from
mother earth and he lives in about the
same style as the Average city man
does on $75 a month salary and has a
family to support
There is nothing remarkable about
his miniature farm At first he made
a living off it because he had to, and
now because he can. His secret is to
keep something growing on every inch
of it all the time and to keep the soil
both by working and fertilization so
the stuff will grow all the time. Not
an inch of his acre is wasted. AS fast
as one crop is taken off another is put
lon.
In looking around for other addi-
tons that would bring him profit on
his miniature farm he decided on COWS
and chickens. His calves from the two
COWS bring him $50 year. There is
always a demand for good butter, in
many instances above the market
price, and this is looked after by his
wife with infinite care and brings in 4
tidy sum weekly. He keeps but 30
hens during the winter, which give him
eggs to sell every day. In the spring
he raises young spring chickens for
the market in large numbers.
MI Higginbotham says that any one
can make living off one acre of lana
| if they properly tend and fertilize it
and keep something growing on every
inch all the time. All | will ever want
to farm will be five acres" said Mr..
Higginbotham. Five acres tended
right will make any farmer a living
and a net profit of 1000 every year in
an average season"

AMERICAS HANDICAP
Washington Post.)

washington POSl)
1t is we'll enough once in while to
try to see ourselves as others see us.
A noted expert in economics writing
in explanation of the limited colume OF
American export trade as compared
with that of Great Britain, says
Here are two countries, Britain and
America, the former naturally poor
save in coal and seaboard, the latter
naturally rich beyond the dreams OF
avarice, as was perceived by men of
understanding in this country two
generations ago, before American de-
velopment began. Britain has to eX-
port largely to earn the very mater
ials which Nature has showered upon
America America has not only better
coal by far than we have, but will
have after the cutting of Panama, a
better seaboard.
Why, then, is it that at this moment
our little island exports nearly two
pounds worth of manufacture for ey..
cry one pounds worth exported from
America. The answer is that the Am
erican policy of high Protection has
created in America artificially higl
prices which affect most of the man
ufactured and many of the raw ma
terials employed, and that as a con-
sequence, America is handicapped in
competing with our manufacturers,
who enjoy Free Trade in every raw or
manufactured material

THE TIME OF CRISIS.

In the affairs of the Americas base
ball club time of crisis has already
been reached, with the league season
less than two weeks old. This unfor-
tunate state of affairs has been
brought about by the fact that the To-
cal club management was unfortun-
ate in securing a man as manager OF
the local team who had practically no
ability as manager in addition to the
fact that he had to his credit no form
er managerial experience. The two
things together soon placed him in a
sad plight here.
In the critical state of affairs now
existing it will be well TO reiterate a
self-evident truth, namely: The local
fans will not support a losing team. l.
is unnecessary to make this statement
except to impress upon the manage
ment the fact that unless a vital ami
revolutionary shake-up of the local
team is had very soon in such man
ner that the locals may be looked W q
on as factors in the race for the pen
nant, baseball here will be doomed for
the present year
Though locals fans will not support
a losing team, it is not necessary for
the team to win every game in order
to gain their confidence and approval
But it is necessary for any team rep
resenting Americas on the diamond L"
win more games than the present
team has done to gain public conf
dence and approval. Unless the re0r-
gained team can do that, it may be
better to ring down the curtain on
the baseball farce in Americas and %
it at once.
1t is possible for the locals to get IL
the running again, but it does not seem
very probable that they will do so at
any time soon They are being batter
ed around by every team in the
league Local fans want no such eH
hibitions here in the future as have
Disguised them in the past. They viii
not support such baseball, either as
amateur or professional perform
ances.
Unless better baseball is furnished
here and furnished very soon, practi-
cally all the support of the local team
will be taken away. The local club
will go from bad to worse financially.
The end of such a venture can readily
be foreseen. 1t would be far bett =
for the local officials to surrender
their franchise at once and lose the
money which it represents rather than
to founder along deeper into debt, TN
less they can furnish the people Of
Americas much better ball in d very
short time.
