ONLY SCRATCHING LAND.
What nm Expert from Belgium Has to
Say about Farming In This Country.

From the Denver Republican,
After making tour of this country to
study our agriculture. Mr.. Bauwens Of
Belgium goes away laughing at us. He
intends to report to his government that
there is no such animal.
Mr.. Bauwens comes from the most
denselY-populated country in Europe
Belgium has something over ll,oo0 square
miles, which support population of
7,G7i9l0. Wisconsin, one Of our leading
agricultural States, is about five times
as large as Belgium. and supports .. s33. $50
people. With the same density of popu-
lation as that country it would have 35,-
100000.
There seems no reason why at least
half of this country could not produce
crops as heavy as those raised in Bel
GUM, where every acre maintains "A hu-
man being Here half the land is waste
There no usused soil can be found. II
all pays its way somehow. The fact is
of course, that farming in the United
States Is Just beginning to get ON it's
feet Landowners are only now awaken
ing to the possibilities of production.
When the scientific attention is given TO
agriculture that Is paid to manufacture
ing the results will surprise the coun-
try.
The statement of Mr., Bauwens that
Wisconsin is merely scratching its land
and not farming is probably the truth
1t has been so easy to make living
without putting brains and expert knowl-
edge into the business that farmers have
followed the line of least resistance in
the future this will not he the case
Farming is going to he as much a busi-
ness for experts as is the making Of

This is true probably because the pres

entered the federal Jail by stealth and,
stabbing two guards, released her boy
and both escaped to the constitutional

GALLOPs THROUGH LINES
In the federal ranks there is told the
story of the wife of an officer who led
the constitutonalists into an ambuscade
at Puerta Carmen, and though fired upon
by the angercd rebels, galloped through
the lines to her husbands side
