the REAL FARMING SITUATION,

Vincent Astor, who lately came into
Dossession Of the bulk Of the Astor
millions, is showing interest IN aeri'
cultural problems. Governor Sulzer has
appointed him a member Of the dele
cation representing New York at the
general assembly of the international
Institute Of Agriculture to be held in
Rome in May. Mr.. Aston is also taking
steps to use the big Astor farm at
,Rhiahcliff, n. Y, for scientific and ex-
detrimental purposes with a view to
producing helpful suggestions to farm
ers and object lessons in scientific
farming.
Experimentation in agriculture is a
fine thing when properly carried on,
but the greater problem in the West
jnst now is to get upon the land the
men who belong there, or who could,
II able to get there, make good. There
IS An empire Of unoccupied land in
sae State Of Minnesota alone that is
demanding tenants. There seems to
Be no good working plan today by
which the man who is without much
capital. but who really desires a
farm, can he put on the farm that
needs man. The United States Re
slamation Service estimates that the
lowest amount Of capital required to
start settler successfully upon one
OF the homesteads under Govern
nent bitches is about two Thousand
dollars. The amount required on a
minnesota farm of reasonable pro
portions would doubtless be smaller.
Here is question in farming that
might be taken up by the Nation, by
.she State or by man with millions
at his command, for example sucn a
man as Mr.. Astor. 1t isn't a question
Of giving money, for the security
would be of the best. 1t is a question
of the prospective farmer A large
majority of the men with some
knowledge of the land who started
out backed by some small capital
would succeed. One of the great
causes Of failures in farming is the at.
tempt to hold down too much land
With little or more often no capital
Whatever. One bad season in such
cases spells disaster.
What person or what State will
bring together under a workable plan
the unoccupied money, the unoccu-
pied man and the unoccupied land ?
Here is one of the great present prob
aems of agriculture. - Minneapolis

of his house dead In the box that en-
closed her, by her own hand. Indeed
there were those along the route who.
remembering this, shuddered lest the
casing concealed a corpse. But nearly
al were as loud IN their congratula-
tons as if Ayxa was going to the hus-
band Of her choice.
At last the home Of the groom was
reached, He was not Mt the door to
receive her, but waited for her within.
When a living bride stepped from the
box there were those In the throng who
breatled sigh OF relief.
Ayxa was conducted by her mother

FULL RECOGNITION
DESIRED BY SLAM
Minister Says His Country Wants Con.
sular Courts Withdrawn to In
crease National Prestige.

Prince Traidos Prabandh, the Siamese
Minister, held an extended interview yes
| terday with Secretary of State Bryan.
| He laid before the new administration
the pleas of Siam for recognition as a
civilized power by the withdrawal from
the Siamese nation of the consular courts
as at present instituted. In several other
nations of the East the consular courts
have been maintained for many years.
The last nation in which there was dis
continuance of the system was Japan.
Consular courts are established by
treaty, and handle the cases of American
citizens who may get into trouble in
Siam, thus preventing trials by a parti-
san court which would ordinarily side
with a native. With the progress of
civilization and the likelihood that justice
may be obtained regardless of nation
ality, such courts gradually are being
eliminated.
The new general progressive ten
denotes of the Siamese people, to-
gether with recent notifications ~of
the basic laws of Siam, as well as of
her civil and criminal codes, with a
view to making them similar at least
to those of the other nations of the
world was urged by the Minister as
the reason for the projected change.
Following the interview, Mr.. Bryan
said the Siamese Minister had called
to discuss the consular court system,
and he did not outline the probable
policy of the administration as to the
contention of the Siamese.
Another caller at the State Depart
ment yesterday was Ambassador
George Bakhmeteff of Russia. The
Russian Ambassador has been a daily
caller at the State Department since
the middle of last week. It is gener~
ally understood in Washington that
the occasion of his frequent visits to
the State Department is the immi
nence of some form of agreement be-
tween the United States and Russia
substitution for the now denounced
passport treaty.
Mr.. Bryan declines to discuss the
purpose of the series Of interviews
with the Cars representative.
