Lesson to Be Learned.

According to the United States CEN
sus, the population in California
cities of over one hundred thousand
people has increased, in the decade
from 1900 to 1910, from 80 to 1878 per
cent. The population in districts out
side of cities Of ten thousand and over
has decreased from $50 per cent. in
1900, to 46.7 per cent, in 1910. Most
Of this decrease of the percentage Of
population of agricultural districts has
gone to the big cities Of over one
hundred thousand.
This clearly shows the prevailing
tendency. It also shows the grave
necessity for building cities that are

Believed That Concessions Will Be

charge d'affaires, and Secretary of
State Lansing on the American pro.
test to Austria in the Ancona case,
high officials of the department indi-
Gated that Austria's reply will avert a
break between the two governments.
They intimated:
Frst-That Austria has decided TO
make her reply In the form Of a COM
promise with important concessions to
the United States.
Second-She will maintain that the
essential duty Of the submarine COM
mander was performed when he fired
a warning shot to halt the Ancona.
Third-Austria will contend that It
Is a question, inasmuch as the vessel
tried first to escape, whether she was
not responsible herself for subsequent
occurrence.
Fourth--That whether or not she
was responsible, the firing on the
ships boats, II officially proved. was
indefensible and the Austrian govern
ment comedies with the view OF the
United States that the act and its
consequences were contrary to prin.
ciples of civilized warfare.
The interview with Secretary Lans'
ing, it was admitted officially, was on
the Ancona case and other matters. It
was sought by Baron zweidineka.
This was regarded as clear evidence
that he had heard from his govern
ment after its receipt Of the protest.
It is understood that Austria has made,
in fact, what might be called a pre-,
liminary communication on the Unit
ed States protest.
It was noted that after the call OF

U. S. CROP UNPRECEDENTED
Estimate Of $s,873,00o,o 900 for Las,

Houston Makes Report.

Washington. - Secretary Houston's
report made public places an estimate
Of $9,S73, 600, 900 on the value Of Amer
lean farm crops and animal products
for last year, a valuation without pre-
cedent. This. however, probably will
be eclipsed by the present year 8
showing.
This valuation is en- increase OF
about $685. 200, 900 oyer the value Of
1913, hitherto the highest eve record.
ed. The increase occurred In the face
Of a decline In cotton from 12.5 cents
a pound for the 1913 crop to an aver
age OF 7.3 cents for 1914. The total
value of the 1918 cotton crop, estimat.
ed at $848, 600, 900, was $3.50, 000, 900
more than the 1914 crop, although the
latter was IA per cent greater In guam
tity.
: OF the tremendous flood OF exports
which began near the end Of the fiscal
year covered by the secretary's report,
many hundreds of millions represent
farm products.
Between Aug. /. 1914, and Feb. l,
1915 the report says, exports we're
81, 157, 000, 900 and imports s771, 900, 900,
giving a favorable balance Of 1886, 900.
900. OF the total value Of exports,
1862, 900, 900 represented agricultural
and only 1896, 900, 900 nonagricultural
commodities, chiefly manufactures.
THE total agricultural exports In
the fiscal year ended June 80, 1915,
practically the first year Of the war,
were 31,470, 900, 900, which Ia an In
crease Of 1856. 900, 900, or 80 per cent
over those Of the preceding year and
Of $43s, 600. 900, or nearly AZ per cent
over the average Of the five years

What is needed more, perhaps, than
anything else. the secretary says, IA
an increase in meat animals. To that
end the department has extended Its
activities as far as Its funds would
permit. Elimination OF common live
stock diseases, from which losses arc
said to be enormous, would result In
