BALANCE KEPT BY NATURE
Increase of the Human Race Seems to
Be Regulated by Wars and
Other DeVastations.
Canadian Government Agen

Every year, according to scientists
who attempt to keep the general rec
ords, at least 0,O0O, 900 human beings
are born on this earth and 100000
or 100000 die. This indicates a
daily birth rate of about 100000 and
a death rate of 10000. The daily
increase in population therefore is
about 10000. The total population of
the globe is estimated at 1 ,800, 000, 900.
The ravages of war do little to i'm
pede the increase. Far more effective
have been the upheavals of nature.
The Franco-Prussian war killed about
10000 in seven months. The death
roll of the Russo-Japapese reached
about 100000 A single earthquake
(1737, in India) has been estimated to
have caused 100000 deaths. The IA
talities of the Messina earthquake in
1908 cannot have been far short of
100000. A tidal wave in 1896 drowned
$1,000 persons in Japan, causing
greater loss of life than the whole
war with China in 1894. The earth
quake in Japan in 1903 is said to have
killed 100000 people. The Lisbon
earthquake in 1855 destroyed $4,000
human lives, while 10000 were lost in
the same year il earthquakes in Per

Gasoline at the Poles.

The Amundsen and Scott expedi-
tions were greatly hindered through
losing much of their gasoline-a loss
that, in fact, had much to do with the
disaster that befell Captain Scott. Mr..
B. T. Brooks of the Mellon Institute
Of Industrial Research thinks he
knows what caused the loss. At low
temperatures, he says, ordinary tin
tends to pulverize. At "a degrees be-
low zero it pulverizes quickly and may
pulverize, although more slowly, at a
higher temperature. Now, hard solder
usually contains large percentage of
tin, and so, of course, disintegrates in
the same way. Consequently the gas
Oline cans are likely to leak at the
soldered seams. Mr.. Brooks suggests
that polar explorers carry their sup
plies of gasoline in containers made
of glass, or of some metal unaffected
by extreme cold-Youth's Companion.

One of the perplexing problems en-
countered by coaches of the various
varsity racing shell crews, that of
providing better means for winter
training than is offered by the ordi-
nary rowing machine, has been met
satisfactorily at Syracuse university
through the installation of an indoor
rowing tank, provided with mechani-
cal means for Stimulating the passage
of the boat through the water. This
provides what might almost be called
actual rowing, besides keeping the

The peanut stands first in my
estimation as a second crop. It is
valuable as a feed and soil-improving
crop. There are three different
varieties that thrive well here-the
running, Spanish bunch and Spanish
Red bunch-the running being the
best known. They will make very
good crops planted by the first Of
Jnne, although | think the Red
bunch variety is the most valuable
to plant as a second crop because
thay are about as large as the run
ming and bear very full, and all of
them mature in about ninety days.

Crimson Clover For Cotton.

For the past two or three years
we have been cutting our oats about
the middle Of June and sowing peas
for hay on the oats stubble, sowing
crimson clover after the peas and
turning for cotton in the spring. Our
trouble is that this crop Of clover
does not get much growth before I.
is necessary to turn it for cotton.
We have been sowing some rye with
this clover, and the rye gets fairly
good growth by the time we turn it
under, but the clover does not.
Could we SOW the clover earlier or
among the peas and get a stand'
We have crimson clover knee-high
that was sown in August in the cot
ton rows, and where we are going
to plant corn this spring. but the

Nevertheless | am sure that il pays
to grow the clover for the cotton.
Crimson clover save the loss Of fer
tility by acting as a winter soil cover,
and while it does not get very much
growth before it is time to turn for
cotton, it has paid well for its use.
| fear that the heavy shade Of the
peas might destroy the terminating

a little while before moving them

Cabbages Running To Seed.

This is from Mecklenburg County,
N. c.: Il bought one pound Of
Woods early cabbage seed last fall,
and sowed them from September q
to October /. Olt Of rs 900 plants
| do not think over 1 900 will head.
They are all running to seed. Why
is this2"
It il no fault Of the seed, but Of
the overgrowth made in the fall.
The fall and early winter were very
mild, and the cabbage plants got an
extra fall growth and the check to
such plants in transplanting viii al
ways result in many running to
seed. Had the seeds been sown
later and the plants grown just large
enough t5 winter, there would have
been less Of this trouble. Then the
plants may have gotten a check by
dry weather in the fall. Plants
sown the early part Of October and
never allowed to get checked by dry
weather. but kept growing till trans
planted, will be less apt to run to
seed w. r. Massey, in The Pro-

Make Greater Use OF The Parcel
Post.

Did you read those parcel post ex-
rerience letters in The Progressive
Farmerl They Were interesting in
deed, and from the many these cor-
respondents have found the new
service Of value to them we believe
all our readers may gain ideas that
will be Of great service in their future
buying and selling operations.
These letters were uniformly op-
timistc and en.husiastie-we feared
maybe a little too much so, for the
parcel post system still has patent
defects that must be corrected before
il becomes the highlo efficient me-
dium between producer and con-
sumer that it should be in the United
States and that it already is in some
European countries. As an illustra-
ton, we now have in type and ex-
pect to run at an early date an article
on marketing poultry in France. in.
which it is stated that dressed poul-
try, butter, and eggs are carried any
where in that country by parcel
post at a cost Of one cent a pound.
Think of what such rates would
mean to the farmers Of the United
States.
But even as it is our parcel post
system is a great institution, one Of
the soundest and most helpful legis-
lative enactments turned out at
Washington in many a day. The
point is, let's use it more, and thus
learn more of its value. Only re-
Gently the Postmaster-G General issued
an order authorizing postmasters in
certain cities to prepare lists Of farm
ers, dairymen, and poultry raisers
who are prepared to supply city con-
sumers by parcel post, and we hope
that many Progressive Farmer read
ers are taking advantage Of this op-
portunity. We are by no means
claiming that the service is as yet
perfect; but we are certain that by
using the parcel post more me may
be in a better position to advise our
representatives in Congress as to
just what is needsd to make it what
it should be.-The Progressive Far
