Food Supply and Population.
To make 1t possible for the people
of the United States to raise, clothe
change our system Of agriculture. We
cannot depend upon Uncle Sam for
any more land, and the only method
by which we can keep the United
States on the map Is to make two
blades OF grass grow where only one
grew before.
During the last decade the popula-
ton OF the United States increased 25
per cent. During the same period the
production OF beef in the United
States fell of 2S per cent.
A few years ago II cost the labor
ing man $52.05 for his yearly supply of
meat-today the same number of
pounds OF meat cost $S5.05, an in
crease OF $4,000.
In view OF this what shall we do?
A careful analysis shows that we
need more fertile fields. or rather
fields with greater fertility.
We need larger and better herds
We need better roads.
We need larger bank accounts.
We need better homes.
We need better citizenship.

The Center Of Grain Production.

me Centor or Grain Production.
The figures Of the last census, when
compared with those of the previous
census reports back in 1850, indicate
that the movement OF the production
of grain under natural conditions has
reached its western limit. Since 1850
the 'median point" (center) OF pro-
duction OF the six great crops-corn,
wheat. oats, barley. rye. and buck
wheat-was about 20 miles west
southwest OF Burlington, Iowa; but its
western movement In the last ten
years was comparatively very small.
1t remains to be seen what effect the
great irrigation work now planned by
the government will have upon the
location OF the great grain fields Of
the country.

ABOUT CUTTING TOBACCO

Mr.. Editor,
Dear SIR Forty.eight years ago
! began the work of growing tobacco.
after few years ! decided, or rath-
er discovered, that there were GER
tain ways better than others for
cutting tobacco in order for 1t to cure
up nicely and have heavy body"
and be oily and "waxy.
= TO explain, III say that tobacco
has sap just as a treee, and tobacco
also as at intervals an oily sub
stance, which is its natural posses
sion. When the sap, or water,
rises in tobacco it pushes out the
Oil through the pores of the leaves
on the principle that oil and wa er
won't mix, and tobacco cut in this
state will be light and "chaffy, :"
when cured. From the fact that
sap bushes the oil out of tobacco is
why it is so "gummy" at certain
times and will barely stain your
hands at other times.
LUZ III lOOdN\O WI luIl vi
and it will cure up nicely and have
a heavy body" and will be oily
and 'waxy." When tobacco is
full of oil and it can not evaporate
as sap does in curing. therefore the
tobacco is compelled to be rich and
heavy. Farmers have experienced
cutting tobacco one week and do
well with it, and then again the
next week and off of the same
piece of ground and have altogether
different luck. If any of the farm
ers will write and send stamp for
reply, I'll be pleased to write to
them upon this matter.
Yours Truly,
Daniel V. Davis,
