.cal year only 48,000,0O0 bushels went out of the country, though the 1912 crop was by far the largest ever produced.
 :: The evidence is clear that the country's consumption of staple products is growing much more rapidly than the production and not many more years will pass before there will be need at home for all the food produced~in this country, unless a radical change occurs in farming methods, to greatly increase the yields per acre. Of course, it is only a question of time when this will occur, but in view of the fact that increased yields per acre can be obtained only by increased eX- penditure per acre, the enlarged yields will come only when the pressure of the demand and the incentive of high prices stimu- late the necessary effort for making land in America produce more than it yields under exist ing farming methods.--EX

FREE FEDERAL JUDICIARY.

Isn't there an underlying req son for the greater deferencc the general public pays to the federal over the state courts, and is that reason far to seek? The United States judge depends upon no popular support to maintain him. in the enjoyment of his office ; the politician with great influ- ence, and the wealthy man with great riches, are comparatively unilnportant in the eyes of the federal judge. The influence of the one and the wealth of the oth- CT mean nothing to him. He is in his office for life if his hchav- for is good. So long as he dis pensas exact justice. none can harm him or make him afraid. His future is provided for, and all he must furnish towards that fu- turc is competency and honesty. Doesn't that make a free judici- ary and does not it's practical working speak against the recall rather than for it? It is worth thinking about.--EX.

 Railroads will be built to "p- en to development the great in leriur country and unite 1t with the coast. So will wagon roads and trails be built to aid still further in the work of develop ment.
 Alaska's agricultural possibll- ities are no myth. They are just beginning to be known in part and appreciated in part, and, given population to consume the products of the soil farm de velopment will proceed apace.
 Alaska's lumber industry is in- creasing and soon many pulp mills will be making use of tim ber that is now going to waste.
 Our water power is valuable asset and it promises, tu be a mighty means toward the indus trial development of the country.
 AIaska'S fisheries are capable of indefinite expansion, and soon they will lead the world.

PASSING OF THE AGRICULTURE < AL SURPLUS.

The wheat crop of the United States for the present year is the largest ever raised, amounting tn 763, ,OOO, ,OOO bushels, as compared with 7iS,OOO, ,O0O bushels in 1901. the largest preceding crop. The area harvested in 1913 is less than that of 19O1.
 The significance of these facts is not that the 1913 crop is a big one. The most important fca- ture of the comparisons is the eyidence they afford :that wheat production is practically at a stahdstflE.'. There has been llo in- crease in the;area in. twelve years Meantime population has grown steadily and the home require ments of wheat this year are about lOO,OO0,O0O bushels larger than they were in 1901. This ex- pansion in the home requirements is shown clearly in the fact that the average annual exports in the five years, ending 1903, were 215, 5,OOO,OOO bushels, while in the last five years the, average ex- ports were only 99,00o,000 bush- els.
 A similar shrinkage in surplus corn is shown by the records. In the five years ending June 30, 1901, the average annual exports of corn were close to 20O,00O,- 900 bushels, while in the last fis-

HIGH STANDARDS OF
EDITING WIN SUCCESS
Cyrus H. K. Curtis Proved
Worth of Prestige To Reader
and Advertiser.
From the Outlook

An interesting event in the world OF
journalism is the purchase OF the
Philadelphia Public Ledger by Cyrus
H. X. Curtis. This change OF owner
ship will give those who are Interested
in the development of the newspaper
as a powerful engine of national and
international civilization an unusual
opportunity to see the effect OF COM
bining the best that is new with the
best that is old in American journal
ism. The Public Ledger was brought
by the late George w. Childs. its edi-
tor and proprietor for 80 years. into a
position of national prominence. 1t
has always been a paper of intellectual
dignity, and has never succumbed to
the pressure of sensationalism which
has had SO pernicious an influence up
on American newspapers. For many
years. for instance. the Public Led
ger has printed on it's editorial page
every Saturday morning in the form
of an editorial what is really an es-
say in the realm OF ethics or practical
the best-known publisher of period
icals i'll this country. He is the pro-
prietor of the Ladies Home Journal"
the Saturday Evening Post" and the
Country Gentleman He has shown
that it is possible to reach a very
large body of readers with high stand
ards of editing and business manage
ment. Mr.. Curtis is reported to have
spoken with interest of the character
of the London Times" under the great
editorship of John Delane. under
whose direction the Times" built up
a corps of foreign correspondents such
as no American newspaper has yer
possessed. Unde this system news
was published in the Times" not be-
cause there was a story in it. but
because there was significance in it.
If properly treated. significant news
can be made just as Interesting to the
imam on the street" as the trifling
gossip that is often portrayed under
enormous headlines. Mr.. Curtis has
proved this in his periodicals; we hope
he will prove 1t in his daily newspaper.
He hes a great opportunity. and we
cordially wish him success.

SWALLOW HAD LONG JOURNEY
Positive Proof That Bird Travelled the
Distance From England to South
Africa.


The capture Of a swallow bearing
an aluminium ring in Natal, South
Africa, the other day. has resulted in
an astonishing insight into the migra-
tory habits Of birds. From a number
and address stamped on the ring it
was discovered that the swallow was
one Of 11,4S3 British birds marked in
a similar way last summer by enthu-
siasts, desiring to learn more as to the
routes taken by bird migrants, and
whether birds return again to their
previous nesting sites. This systema-
tic marking Of birds began in 1909,
since when nearly $4,000 have been
hinged" About three per cent. are
afterwards noted, but the swallow re-
ported from Natal appears to have
made the longest fight SO Far. A
black-headed gull ringed as a nesting
in Yorkshire in July, 1911, was found
in February, 1912, in Flores. Azores.
A startling ringed in Berkshire in jan
uary. 1919, reached Helsingfor, Fin
land. in April. A teal ringed in Stat
fordshire in the autumn Of 1910, was
found at Dalarne. Sweden, July, 1911.

Kidding Premises of Flies.

The fly is "a nuisance beside being a
carrier of infectious diseases. n the
attempt to eXternlinate it needs no
justification. How one can make ones
home. town or city flyless is described
by e. +. Hodge. OF Clark university.
Worcester. Mass. He says that the
American public spends $10.O 900, 900 a
year for window and door screens in a
futile attempt to exclude a lively in
sect which insists OF getting into the
house every time the doors are opened.
He believes also that the method of
swatting the flies. using fly-paper or
indoor traps or poisons is ineffective.
but may help. His method is to make
use In various way of the conical wire
mesh fly-trap. which is familiar to all
most every one. in such a way as to
turn Inc tables on the flies and put
them in Jail and let ourselves out" The
plan involves. OF course. the abolition
AS far as possible Of all breeding and
feeding places for flies and the APP
plication Of the fly-trap mentioned
above to the garbage can, to the screens
on windows. to the covers on manure
bins, etc. ali of which can be done by
a little mechanical ingenuity. Garbage
cans are on the market which have a
v larger than the can and not fit
ting down closely on it so that the
flies gain access to the IAN under the
cover and end escape through a holc
in the Owe over which is fixed a fly
trap. In fighting the fly, Hodge has
found that h essentials of a success
full campaign are to transfer the fight
against the fly from h house t. out
doors, and then to exterminate it. An
other essential feature in a town or city
is that households must cooperate.
One ignorant or careless HON can
breed flies enough to vitiate the best
~endeavors of a whole town. Hodge has
succeeded in his neighborhood in prac-
tically eliminating flies; he uses no
screens in windows and doors, and can
sit outdoors or have windows or doors
open at any time without molestation.
AS flies begin to breed early in the
spring and as they breed with marvel
Gus rapidity. the time to rrang for q
fly campaign is in the winter.

The Raiffeisen Banking System.

Myron T. Herrick in Atlantic Magazine
The Raiffeisen banking system is
based on the principle of combining
borrowers, to the end that by associa-
ton they may secure credit facilities
which, as individuals, it would be inn
possible for them to obtain. The fund.-
amental provisions of the Raiffeisen
banks, as contemplated by Herr Raft
eisen. were those of gratuitous man
agement, unlimited liability of menu
bers, and Il strictly local field of opera
ton. For the most part the Raiffeisen
banks adhere to those provisions. The
membership of the banks is made up
almost exclusively of farmers. In 1909
the number of members for each bank
averaged 80. In the beginning the
Raiffeisen banks had no capital stock,
but In 1876 a law was passed which
made 1t necessary for them to issue
shares of stock. The value of the
shares was fixed at what was little
more than a nominal amount. In 1909
the average paid up capital per mern-
Der was only 10 marks. The dividends
that the Raiffeisen banks can pay are
strictly limited-in no event can they
exceed the rate of interest charged on
loans. In 1908 these banks made a net
profit IN excess Of 7,000.0 600 marks, hut
of this only Is per cent was paid out
In dtvidends-the balance being passed
to the credit of the reserve fund. Be
cause OF the nature OF it's business the
sphere of operation of each bank is
very limited. 1t is necessary for the
members to know each other, and to
know for what purpose each loan is
made. and to see that the money IL SO
used. The Ratffeisen banks nave done
much to encourage thrift, because they
have supplied a new incentive for saw
inc. lnasmuch AZ the successful man.
agement OF these banks requires a keen
sense Of responsibility on the part Of
the individual members, their moral ef-
feet 10 YER considerable.
