Before a student can be graduated

that he had a serious skin disease,

CROPS IN JAPAN ARE SMALL.
American Farmers Could Not Live On
Such Scanty Returns for His
Seed and Work.

Japan Is such a mountainous coun-
try that the area of arabic land Is
quite disproportionate to the size of
the whole empire. 1t Is alleged that
barely IL per cent of the entire sur
face can be cultivated, and that even
the cultivable part is not naturally
very fertile. Still there are large
tracts Of wild moorland which might
easily be brought under cultivation. or
at least be converted into grazing
lands.
Where the farmer lives and labors
there are abundant evidences Of his
diligence and self-sacrifice. Doubtless
the major part Of the farming land is
lean soil. Still the judicious use of
fertilizers-mostly night soil applied
in small quantities direct to the grow
ing plant; the elaborate and skilful
system OF irrigation that gets full
value from every drop of water; the
laborlous subsoil working-by hand in
the soft ooze of the rice fields-and
the incisive wedding out to produce
better results in quantity than they
do. When the harvest is measured oy

ARIZONA RAISING COTTON.
The 1918 Cotton Crop Was Most VAL
liable Ever Produced.


Washington-Final figures on the
1918 cotton crop, announced by the
census bureau, place it as the largest
the United States has ever grown.
with the exception Of that of 1911. At
the same time the estimate of the to-
tai value of the crop shows it was the
most valuable ever produced, 1t being
worth $1,O43,76O,OOO.
The quantity of cotton ginned from
the 1913 crop. counting round as half
bales and excluding linters, was 49,
9S2.S11 running bales, or 14,156,486
bales of 500 lbs. gross weight. Cotton
seed produced was 6,305,00O tons, of
which 4,575,508 tons were crushed.
The value of the cotton is estimated
at $887, 100000 and of the seed $780,
100000.
An interesting feature of the 1913
production was the crop Of the I'm
perial valley, in southern California.
where 22,S38 bales were grown. 1t
has been reported the acreage planted
this year in the Imperial valley will
show a large increase, while the pro-
duction Is estimated at from $4,000 to
100000 bales. Last years production
was more than double that Of any pre-
vious year there, where commercial
growing of cotton has been in progress
only a few years.
Another feature was the production
in Arizona, where 2,299 bales were
ginned, the largest part Of which
possessed the same characteristics al
that grown in Egypt. The 1914 area
shows a large increase, variously esti-
mated at from 10000 to $4,000 acres.

Napoleon had sent q graph message

Peak Suemeg in Hungary? At that
time I thought the place contained the
crystals of cirynith, the substance
from which my aerodromones are
made" Napoleon paused, and the
count looked at him cautiously.

brought this information from the
count.

The next day he took six aerodro-

Eden. and they made trips back and
forth until the whole deposit Of CRY
NTH was landed on the Island Of c.
ryne. The spectroscope showed that
there must be more under the surface,
but Napoleon knew he had sufficient
for the time being, and was satisfied
to leave the rest until such time as
he needed 1t.
New hangers were built on the
island. The work progressed rapidly.
