POTATOES.

The average crop of potatoes in the
United States runs. one year with an
other. about 30 bushels per acre.
Charles Carson. of Larimcre. told the
editor a few days ago that his crop
this fall was running about $50 bush
els per acre. Small plots, well cuiti-
waited, frequently from 500 to 400
bushels.
c. W. Andrews, the walhalla bank
er and farmer. tells of the experience
Vt a farmer near Walhalla. This
farmer lives on an upland farm in the
brush country some miles west Of
town. Last spring he broke an acre
OF land for potatoes. He srubbed the
land by hand. plowed it we'll, and then,
with a homemade harrow with a n
moth teeth. he dragged the ground
back and forth and crossways until
he had all the fne roots brought to the
surface. These were gathered and
burned. and potatoes we're planted.
Naturally the man who took such
pains with the preparation Of his soil
for seed took good care Of it during
the summer. This fall. Of that single
of land he gathered 900 bushels
of potatoes.
On the basis Of cost as computed
for the cultivation Of large tracts in
a thorough manner those potatoes cost
the grower about six cents a bushel,
exclusive Of the rent of land. which
would add another half cent. OF
in this particular case the act
ua1 cost would be higher, as most Of
the labor was performed by hand. but
1t Is easy to see what an enormous
difference in profit there is between
putting enough labor on the land to
reap just an average crop. and put
ting on enough to realize a big crop.
On the farm. as everywhere else, prof.
it lies in getting the land-the plant
to produce to its full capacity.

smile her little face relaxed in re-
sporse. She let the doctor take her
hand. She showed him her tongue.
She let him tap her chest n listen
there. He somehow treasured her.
Eliza followed him out the door.
She almost felt she might have saved
her -. As far "a she could tell from
his face Viva was quite safe, "Well?"
she demanded.
The doctor looked al her critically.
III you want to save your little girl
he said finally. you must set her out
city is no place for her. You must
take her out OF school. The trouble
is here" He touched his chest.
Eliza knew what he meant. She
had seen enough Of humanity to real
lie what faced her. She turned sick
as the doctor went on talking. When
he had finished she bowed her head
silently in acceptance OF all his facts.
She felt unable to speak.

nigh window she waved, but without
any strong exuberance. She mounted
the stairs painfully and came in en-
hausted and painting. Her books fell,
she pushed off her hat and sank upon
the couch.
Why: darling" asked Eliza in
alarm. are YOU sick?"
She knelt beside the couch and
smoothed back the girls damp hair.
She was all concern and tenderness.
It's so hot" moaned Viva, land
I'm SO tired. I'm so tired I don't care
about anything"
Her brow was hot. her eyes dilated,
and yet she had a strange pallor,
Eliza wondered. She knew little
about illness. She really never had
been sick more than once or twice in
the course of her whole life. She rot
up and. going to the refrigerator, pre-
OF ice in it. She brought it to Viva.
Here. darling. drink this and you'll
feel better" she urged.
Viva looked at the milk and at her
mother. She wanted to obey. but dis
taste forbade her. She turned her
little. pale face into the pillow and
sobbed: II can't mamma, 1 can't?"
Eliza set the glass down. She did
not know what mex to do. She felt
very helpless. Then it occurred to
her that Mrs. Dousher. the genial
lrishwoman in the fiat below, might
be wiser than she. She went down
stairs. She had to knock thrice be-
fore the door opened, although she
heard voices behind It. Mrs. Douaher
apologized. THE doctors here,

When she went back she did not
tell Viva what she had done. The
child was not used to doctors and had
a horror Of them. She let him an
nounce himself by entering. He was
a middle aged man. with a tired, kind

PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT.

We had never had any patience
with the theory that it was the duty
OF the American government to de-
clare Immediately that it would at a
specified time, or as soon as the people
were able to govern thnselves. grant
to the Philippines a separate and in
dependent national government. That
program simply bess trouble. Such
a promise is unnecessary, for the thing
promised can at any time thought adj
visable be done. without any promise
Of any kind. 1t is dangerous to the
peace and progress of the islands
themselves. because it will tend toward
an agitation there which will retard
the very progress necessary to ulti-
mate independence. 1t is unwise and
impolitic so far as this country is con-
cerned, because it entails on us an
obligation to at a certain time a thing
which, when the time comes, 1t may
appear should not be done then, or at
ell.
There is pending in congress a res
olution known as the Jones resolution
which provides that at the end OF
eight years the Philippines shall be
turned over to an Independent gov
eminent. What will be the fate Of
that resolution cannot be predicted.
The democratic party is far from a
unit on the question, and most of the
republicans are opposed to the pro-
5000 r.-~~,r, The attitude NJ the
administration on the resolution has
not been announced. But the ad.
ministration is taking one step which
is decidedly indicative of sanity.
which constitutes a safe and rational
recognition of the progress being
made in the Philippines in self-gov-
eminent. and which leaves the way
open for the future treatment Of Phil
ippine matters on their merits, and on
the basis Of the needs of h time as
they. develop and become apparent.
This step is the changing Of the
complexion Of the Philippine commits
sion. or SENATE" and placing control
Of It in tie hands Of natives instead
Of Americans. The representative leg

pinos, but the commission, which has
veto power over all legislation. and
thus controls the situation. is a body
cans. The terms Of two Of the Amer
Of nine men. six of whom are Ameri-
leans expire very soon. and is an
nounced as the intention Of the ad-
ministration to appoint two native
statesmen in their places. This will
give the native element a majority on
the commission.
The plan Of keeping a majority
Of Americans on the board was a good
one when 1t was started. and it has
doubtless been wise to continue it un-
til the present. But conditions are be-
coming more settled, and the intend
ed change will be a proper recognition
Of the progress that has been made.
and a demonstration Of the intent Of
this country to grant local self-gov-
eminent to the people over there Just
Is far and as fast AZ is practicable.
The step is a wise and useful one. and
1t should be followed by the indefinite
shelving Of the nnischievous and dan

WHICH PAYS BEST?

Rev. ]. NJ. Palmer. who In up
from Mcintosh county to attend the
Presbyterian synod meeting at Lang
don. tells Of the experience Of a farm.
or down there which suggests an an
swer to the question: Which kind Of
farming pays best?
This farmer drove to his neareet
town recently in a light spring wag-
on or buggy. In order to make the
most Of his trip he carried along a lit
tie produce. He threw in two sacks
Of potatoes, = few other vegetables
. few Jars of butter, m eggs and
three or tour chickens. and logged in
to town. He sold his little load of
stun for $35 cash, making a quick
trip. with little inconvenience.
A little later, in order to obtain a
larger aufa OF money. he hauled to
town two loads of wheat. ordinary
two.horaS loads. and for the two ioads,
evidently a little less than 100 bushels,
Ne received SIS.
In other words. the mixed produce

more money than one load Of wheat.

products, but any one at all familiar
