SHOULD GET LARGER CROPS
American Farmers Might Largely In
crease Their Production Through
Scientific Methods.

Our Pennsylvania Dutch are good
farmers, but not so good as their rela-
tiyes in Germany For every bushel Of
wheat Pennsylvania farmer produces
from one acre the German grows two
and a tenth bushels.
His farm is small. but the man who
delves beyond the Rhine makes each
acre produce exactly twice as many
potatoes as do our farmers.
The man who bows to kaiser In
stead of president extracts just a
half more oats and over third more
barley and about 60 per cent more rye
from each acre than does the improvi-
dent American.
The man who has but dollar can
live for long time on 1t, whereas the
prodigal can waste a SO bill on one
dinner. The German has so little
ground that he makes it work doubly
hard.
When the United States has 200,-
100000 population our farm production
an acre will likely have doubled from
sheer necessity. Public Ledger.

STAYS MENACE OF TYPHOID
Scientists Consider That In Water Dis
Infection They Have Found
Active Ally.

In the eight cities where it has re.
ceived a thorough trial for the last
eleven years, the hypochlorite treat
ment of water distinction has come
to stay, in the opinion Of G. A. Jen-
nings, consulting engineer of the Chi
cago Union stock yards, says the En-
gineering News. There are now about
six hundred cities that have adopted
the hypochlorite treatment.
The eight cities involved in the test
are as follows: Baltimore, Cleveland,
Des Moines, Erie. Evanston, Jersey
City, Kansas City and Omaha.
The population o. the eight cities
totals about two million and thirty.
three thousand. The average typhoid
death rate for all the cities was SO-2
per 1O0, 900 before and 14.4 after the
use of hypochlorite, a reduction OF 1913
deaths per 100000, or 81 per cent.
Of the eight cities considered, SIX
had higher typhoid rates in 1913 than
in 1912. but Mr.. Jennings remarks that
1913 has been called typhoid year
and that doubtless the number OF
typhoid deaths would have been much
larger that year had it not been for
the use of hypochlorite.
