Demonstration Farms.

A number of the railroad companies
Of the country are taking hand in the
establishment of demonstration farms.
While they are doing work that from
one point of view may be classed as a
benefaction. at the same time what they
are doing is not void Of selfishness. The
railroads get their revenue largely from
the transportation Of the products OF the
farms, hence It is but natural that they
should feel an individual interest in the
increase Of the products Of the farms.
But while serving themselves, the
roads that are encouraging agriculture
are serving all the people of the whole
country. without an exception. They
are laboring to increase the volume Of
the products out Of which human food
and human clothing are made There
is no other way to sustain life than
through the products of the soil.
Thus it is. while the railroad compan-
les may have nothing more in view than
the increase Of their own business in
establishing demonstration farms they
are opening the way for farmers to
increase the products of their farms and
to make their lives better worth living.

In this issue of The Messen-

plainly that the people of Mary

of doing He does what he be-

consequences TO himself, but he
does not stand long for misrep-
resentation. He does not notice

Meaning of Better Crops

When more than 500 Ohio
boys under sixteen years of age.
each cultivating one acre Of
corn, produce an average of IS
bushels of shelled corn to the
acre. it is impossible not to per.
ceive the vast opportunity
which exists for charging sta.
pie crops without increasing the
acreage of land under cultiva-
ton. That is, of course. if it is
understoodthatthe presentyield
of corn IN Ohio averages about
IS bushels to the acre. An in
crease of $50 per cent. in the
average productiveness Of Ohio
corn fields would mean an enor-
nous addition TO the wealth of
the State every year. Even if
il is admitted that the acres
chosen by these 800 young corn
growers were selected for the
special fertility of their soil. and
if il is granted that the boys
put more work upon their crops
than ordinary commercial con-
ditions would justify, still it is
clear that an increase of so per
cent. probably of 100 per cent.
in the J ield of Ohio corn fields
is not only possible, but would
be commercially profitable, says
the Cleveland Leader. Such a
rate Of gain in the average yield
of corn might be duplicated.
not in bushels. but in rate per
cent. of increase, in growing
wheat, oats. potatoes. hay and
other standard crops. Like
possibilities Of improvement
exist in raising live stock, and
poultry and in dairy farming.
Such object lessons as the an
nual contest among boys for
prize per acre crops must surely
prove one of the efficient means
of raising the standard of agri-
culture in Ohio and making the
farm lands of the State more

PRIZES FOR
The FARMER
Money Offered For Best Corn
Grown This Year

An important forward step in move
ment designed ultimately TO lower high
living costs was taken Saturday. when
the Corn Exchange National Bank of
Philadelphia announced series Of
prizes, amounting to 81, $50. to be offer
ed to farmers in Pennsylvania. New
Jersey. Delaware and Maryland for the
best corn grown this year The plan
has for its object the stimulating Of

thus increasing both quality and guam
tity Of production and lower prices Of

The hearty cooperation Of the Off
GERS of the agricultural colleges in the
States and of the Commercial Tx
change Of Philadelphia has already been
promised, and every effort is to be made
to make the undertaking one Of real
value in promoting agricultural eiiicien-
cy. The American Bankers Associa-
ton and many State Bankers Associa-
tions have been studying ways and
means toward this end for several years.
and the prize plan has been adopted
with considerable success in the West
and South. but this is the first important
attempt by any financial institution in
the East to co-opprate in practical
way with the movement.
In order to give every farmer equal
opportunity and advantage Of excep-
tionally good soil over less fertile Sec
lions has been minimized by dividing
some States into several districts. with
in each Of which prizes will be awarded
for the best 10 ears Of corn in 1913 Be-
sides this there will be sweepstakes for
the entire territory. Special prizes will
also be offered for boys.
Arrangements have been made to have
all corn entered in the contest marked
and judged by the officers Of the Penn
sylvania State College the State Agri-
cultural College of Delaware, the State
Agricultural College of New Jersey and
the Maryland Agricultural College. after
the Commercial Exchange in the Phila-
delphia Bourse on December 4. and s.
1913. In connection with this exhibition
il is planned to hold conference on the
best methods of cooperation between
the farmer and banker.

OWEN WILL FIGHT
CENTRAL BANK IDEA
Says Democratic Party is
Opposed to the Plan;
Hearings Close.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 25.-Chair-
man Owen, of the senate committee on
banking and currency, TODAY announced
his purpose to end any attempt of his
committee to provide for a central bank
in the measure nov under consideration.
Mr.. Owen has Just returned from Bos-
ton, where he made an address on the
currency question.
"The Democratic party always has
been against a central bank" declared
Mr. Owen. In everything he has said
and done the president, in line with the
party, has opposed that suggestion.
Were he now to accept this plan so
suddenly preeipitated upon the commit
tee, he would stultifv himself. Presi-
dent Wilson never will do that"
Today there was a strong and rapid
w crystalizing sentiment in favor of
applying the public ownership prin-
eiple to the regional banks that will be
provided for. This viii relieve the bill
from any criticisms of the banks rela-
tive to compulsory capital stock and
drawing upon their stores for the pur-
pose OF financing the new system. Al
so it would, senators who favor the
plan say, make it impossible for bank
ers to insist upon having voice in the
management of the affairs of these reg
ional banks.
Willis Continues Statement.
Parker Willis, of New York. continued
his statement before the committee. Re-
plying to questions by senator Nelson,
he admitted that II regional banks wal
not a feature of the bill. What was
needed was a sufficient number to take
care of the business of the country.
He opposed vigorously the central bank
plan. Among his reasons he assigned
one that the central bank idea would
not permit Of a proper degree of local
control.
Banks Make Objections.
Edward z. Shields of Westchester,
Penn, submitted kilograms from 81 ma
tiOnal banks and IL trust companies.
All but two objected to the bill in its
present shape.
Senator Hitchcock read kilograms
from 80 wholesale houses in Omaha
critieising the bill and contending that
credits would be largely contracted IN
der the proposed law
The hearings closed this afternoon
after an executive session in which the
national examiner, Chas. Starek. of New
York City. was examined The COM
mlttee desired to learn from him how
banks were examined and what fees
were paid by the banks for that pur-
pose.
Monday morning the committee viii
begin the task of putting the bill into
shape. 1t is believed a report NAV be
made in 10 days.
