less and the possibility OF total
loss much greater. The straw
is shorter and hard to bind for
that reason in a dry year. The
fields dry out quicker in times
of drought and are correspond
ingly harder to pillow for the
next crop. Noxious weeds are
also much more numerous on
stubbled fields than on others.
The reputation of using slip
shod methods also affects the
farmers credit and standing.
All of the IA farmers with
whom correspondence was had
reported that stubbling-in vas
practiced in their vicinity,
which shows ITO what extent
this reprehensible method of
alleged farming is carried on.
Such slovenly ways r. not on
ly Injurious to the farmer who
practices them, but are also a
positive menace to his more
thrifty neighbors by reason Of
the foul seed that is permitted
to 60 to seed and the bad name
for low average yields which is
given to the vicinity. Far
better have forty acres of a fair
yield, grown on clean stubble,
than twice the area giving
even more grain in the aggre-
gate, but leaving the land
weedy, impoverished and hard
to till for the ensuing crop.
Government activity along
these lines of inquiry is to be
commended, and he is a wise
farmer who profits from the
lesson that is taught by the
Investigation mentioned.

WE DO NOT SEE
BIG ENOUGH

EXPERIENCE has shown that
1T is universally the fault of
mankind that it does not see
big enough Men do not be-
gin to realize the future of
their cities. This accounts for
the narrow streets. the scarcity
of parks. the indirect means of
communication between differ
ent parts of our cities and the
general ineffectiveness of the
physical town.
Vision of the future is neces-
sary before we can properly
build. Ability to realize what
this town will be in years to
come is necessary before we
can do our part in it's develop
rnent 50 that Our children's
children will not find it neces-
sary to pronounce what we do
as not well done.
Health, happiness. morality
as we'll as business efficiency
of the future will be materially
affected by the manner of our
building.
We should plan our future.

THE TURKISH INCIDENT.

The firing on an American boat by
Turkish shore guns has naturally
aroused interest. The interest, how
ever, has been accompanied by little
or no excitement The American
public seems to await quite calmly
official investigation of the incident,
and to postpone any exhibition of ner-
vous disturbance over it until 1t is as
certained just what has happened,
which is not very clear at the present
time.
From early reports made, it appears
that a launch from the American
cruiser Tennessee, which Is in Eastern
waters for the protection Of the in
terests of American citizens residing
in those localities, was fired upon by
guns from Smyrna, which port she
was approaching. The launch there
upon changed her course and made
for the cruiser. Just why the shot
was fired is unknown at present. One
suggestion is that the shot was in
tended to warn the launch of danger
from mines in the harbor. Another
is that its identity was unknown, and
that 1t may have been mistaken for
a boat belonging to a hostile power.
A third is that the act was that of
an excited local official who lost his
head and fired just on general prin-
ciples.
That the act was deliberate act
of hostility by the Turkish govern

COLLECTING THE TOLLS.

Between Aug. and Nov. i. tolls
amounting to $735.1s2 were collected
from vessels using the Panama canal.
This money went into the United
States treasury and belongs to the
American people. 1t will be used to
help pay the cost Of operating and
maintaining the canal, says the New
York World. :
Had not congress repealed the coast
wise exemption clause, there would
have been practically no revenue
whatever from the canal during the
last three months, as most Of the
tolls have been collected from Amer
lean ships. This s7s6.ooo would
have been stuffed into the pockets OF
ship owners. Neither producers nor
consumers would have benefited q
penny. and the United States would
have been operating 4 tremendously
expensive canal for the benefit of a
private monopoly.
Nobody complains now about the
payment Of tolls. and the United
States government-which is the
American peoples deriving . reve-
nue from It's heavy investments. Aside
from any question Of treaty obliga-
tions, the coastwise repeal has vim
dicated itself az a sound business poll
cy on the part Of the government.
