Possibilities In Rhode Island.
Professor Adams brings out some
very pertinent facts in his article on
the possibilities for agricultural de-
velopment in Rhode Island This state
is the most densely populated state
in the nation, and as such offers I'M
exceled opportunities for marketing
agricultural products. In common
with other New England states, Rhode
Island has a higher yield per acre of
corn than any other section of the
country, and yet there is a great field
for improvement in yield There are
ideal opportunities in poultry farm
ing. According to the figures from the
of fowls per capita in the country
was 80, while in Rhode Island the
number was only OTIS OF a fowl Pro
fessor Adams states:
"At the present time there Is no
section of the country which offers a
greater diversity OF opportunity for
the development of a profitable agr1-
cultural enterprise than does the state
of Rhode Island. No other section of
the country offers more diversified
markets than are to be found within
her borders. The manufacturing COM

Consumption of FoodstuHas
In the three southern New England
states 90 per cent OF the population
live In towns of $500 or over. Due
somewhat to this large urban popula-
ton this lection of the country does
not produce over 80 per cent of the
food products 1t consumes. according
to estimates. New England produces
IS per cent OF the nations Industrial
wealth, and southern New England
produces s4.7 per cent OF the indus
trial wealth OF New England
Where such large proportion OF
the popula ton is engaged in other pur.
suits than that of the production OF
food products, it is not surprising that
the district is not considered as an
important agricultural field, yet the
very conditions that make southern
New England the great Industrial CEN
ter that IL is, magnify the opportuni-
ties for agricultural expansion. This
is particularly true OF certain special
ties in food products for which the
land and climatic conditions are par
ticularly adaptable.

tages are unexce1led, and there are

Conditions In Connecticut.
In his article on Connecticut agricu1-
ture, DR.. Jarvis remarks that sit seems
remarkable that it should be necessary
to call attention to the agricultural OPP
portunities of section where Amer1-
can agriculture had it's birth. Agricul-
ture was a profitable industry in Con-
necticut long before the great grain
and meat producing sections of the
middle west and the great fruit grow
ing sections of the Pacific coast were.
known. During the years following
the Civil War and during the period Of
railway extension through the western
sections, people were attracted by the
cheap 1ert1le 1andS. AT Cnac time there
was q real attraction, but that condi-
ton no longer exists, for the free land
has all been acquired and land values
have risen to such an extent that set
tiers are now attracted to the east.
The once fertile soils of the west are
gradually becoming depleted OF their
natural fertility and the time has come
when the western farmer must consid-
er the matter of replenishing his soil.
The balance of favor is now swinging
toward the east. The westerner finds
it more difficult every year to compete
with the eastern farmer, who is right
at the door of the best American mar
kets and who is within few hours
run Of the best exporting points.
Connecticut has favorable climatic
conditions and available lands. The
average value per acre of farm land
in 1910. according to the Census report
was $500. There is population of
over 100000, and the transportation
facilities to the great markets are UNI
equaled ia, any section Of the country.
Connecticut is pre-eminently a fruit
growing state. There are hundreds of
successful fruit growers within her
borders, and the excellence of the ap-

Duchess of Connaught a
 Daughter of s'Red Prince

The Duchess of Connaught, who has been the first lady of Canada" during the long administration-no nearing its close-of her royal hus- band as Governor General of the De-
 Vinion, will pass her fifty-sixth mile- stone today. She is about a decade the junior of the Duke, tow hom she was married in 1879. The Duchess is "a Prussian princess, a. member of the House of Hohenzollern, and a daugh- ter of Prince Frederick Charles of Prussia. During the Franco -Prussian war her father was known as "the Red Prince," beca use of the alleged ruthlessness and cruelty of his mili- tary tactics. In Lorraine and some parts of France the name of Prince Frederick Charles is still one to con- jure with when mothers want to Tighten their offspring into good be- havior and the threat that "The Red Prince will get you if you don't be- have" inspires awe and terror in ju- venile hearts. There is reason to be- lieve, however, that this reputation was not wholly deserved, and that the horrors which French mothers have attributed to his supposed sanguinary characteristics were but the inevita ble consequences of a terrible war. The fact that he always wore a red hussar uniform probably had more to do with making the Duchesss father a bugaboo than anything else.
 Prince Frederick Charles was the eldest son of Prince Charles, a brother of Emperor William l., the grand father of the present Kaiser The Red Prince" entered the army when boy, and served in the first schleswig-Holstein war. commanded the right wing in the second Danish war, and led the army which defeat ed the Austrians at Koniggratz half a century ago. In the Ffanco-Prus- sian war he commanded the second army corps, drove Bazaine back into sMetz, and received the surrencer or that fortress. Later he led his army against Orleans, captured that place, defeated Chanzy at Le Mans, and broke up the army of the Loire. He died in 1885, six years after the mar riage of his daughter, Princess Louise Margaret Alexandra Victoria Agnes, to the Duke of Connaught.~
 E Besides being the cousin of Elm peror William, the Duchess of Con naught is the sister of Princess Leo- pold of Hohenzollern, whom arried the sister of the German Empress AL though thus doubly united to the Ger man royal house, she has been in the present war a thorough Briton in her sympathies.
