In the 'megalOpa' stage there Is
a much nearer approach to normal
crab form, with large stalked eyes
and nippers to the front pair of legs;
but the long, slender tail sticks out
behind.
All this time the baby crab swims
through the upper waters instead Of
crawling on the bottom When the

1t seems strange that the eyes

they are extremely sensitive, so that

While working in the basement

The electric current passed through

THE HIGH COST OF LIVING
AND HOW TO REDUCE IT

1910 only four to ten persons. In ten
years the number of shoop growers de-
creased $4,000.
In ten years the number of calves
fell from 100000 to 100000. per-
haps a law preventing the killing of
calves and lambs for three years would
solve the meat problem) How can
we sustain our rapidly growing popu-
lation with steadily increasing food
supply? Remedying the serious condi-
ton of our agricultural life is as i'm
portant an investigation of the beef
trust.
We submit that national aid for the
promotion of agriculture is the ques>
ton that needs our most serious
thought. For the food supply is Il
matter of prime Importance We spend
annually upward of seven hundred mil
lions to meet the ordinary expenses Of
our government, while less than one
per cent. of our total appropriations
go to aid agriculture, an industry
which feeds, clothes and supports As
per cent. of our people. Six hundred
and twenty-five million dollars to i'm
prove our rivers and harbors, against
S67,0OO,O0O to encourage agriculture
and develop the country districts.

1sOO-1910.

If American farmers would raise
food crops as Europeans do we would
not have to pay as much for our living.
Even Russia beats us seven bushels on
potatoes.
With over 100000 acres in wheat,
if we split the difference between Ge~-
many with % bushels an acre and the
United Kinkdom with SO bushels, we
should, instead of 70OOOO,OOO bushel
crop, have a crop of over billion
and half bushels, more than twice
what we did raise last year. Yet these
European fields were under cultiva-
ton for centuries before the ships were
built which landed Columbus on our
shores.
In every calling except that of farm
ing we have demonstrated the supe-
riority of American efficiency. Corn
is the American grain king So adapt
ed are our soil and climate to its
growth that we produce IS per cent
of the worlds crop. Yet within forty
years our average production of this
crop has fallen from 202 bushels to
the acre to 254 and we have about
reached the maximum acreage which
ca be devoted to corn. This steady
falling off in the yield to the acre
means a net annual loss to the nation
of S5O,OOOOOO. If by scientific agri,
culture we had regularly increased our
yield of corn one-fourth of one per
, cent, or 10 per cent, in forty years.
our national wealth would have been
increased last year $170,0OO,OOO
If in forty years we had advanced
IN wheat culture as Belgium did in
thirty, our national wealth would have
increased 5000, OO0,OOO last year.
Cattle Versus Population.
During the last census our cattle de-
creased 6,50O000 head. So that while
our population increased 81 per cent
our cattle decreased in number Al per
