Bushels per Acre

It might be said of our agricultural industry that it Is not the number of acres planted to the various crops that counts but the bushels produced How this standard varies is shown by officials reports and individual research. Last year the yield of wheat in the United States IT bushels yet in state produced IF bushels. and in another state twelve-acre lot averaged 10S bushels. The for oats 3S bushels. Two farmers in different states raised lS4 and 66 bushels to the White potatoes averaged s6 bushels to the acre while in California yield of 79O bushels was recorded, and in Washington 743 bushels raised
 
 Of these extraordinary yields secured under exceptional conditions. At the time there is medium between such abnormally high figures and the averages considerably above the present showing of the latte. which is possible of attainment by many farmers that the averages can be very materially increased.

Officially Pronounced War

Our relations with Mexico have been officially and judically declared by Judge Advocate Crow der of the United States army Thus officially and judically has il been declared that MT Wilson has rot kept out of There were several evidences that We are and have been with Mexico rather than peace Though the situation has lacked some thing of the comprehensive character of the European struggle which is undoubtedly presenting all the symptoms of war relations with Mexico have been too strenuous for peace. It does not seem to be state of peace when several thousand American sol ders maintained in Mexico against the wishes of all factions when in conflicts between them and their unwilling hosts. American troopers killed captured; when in sort of truce American and Mexican conferees trying to devise ways and for preventing abating the slaughter of Americans along the border On the contrary all this looks like We have doubt that Judge Crow ders ruling will be affirmed by the higher court of public opinion.

It is a civil ized method, as opposed to the injur ious contest of force, which impover- ishes labor and imperils the social or der. The essence of the matter is fair and reasonable hearing of all parties concerned and a just deter imitation according to the facts.

To the Editor of the Republicans:
 It occurs to me that the account in your paper of the proceedings of the recent grand jury is much too meager considering the importance of the sub feet. This jury was in session two weeks or thereabouts and made an elaborate examination into many mat ters of interest to the taxpayers. The jury made reports to the court on the pardening of convicted boot leggers, repayment of taxes. cost of automobile service fol the county and other matters of interest and believe nearly all the taxpayers would appreciate a detailed account of the findings of the grand jury.
 Respectfully yours.

LOT OF BRITISH GOLD
FOR UNITED STATES

New York, October 27,-Bankers
here expect that the British treasury
will continue to export gold to this
country as fast as the government
minis can handle it. Since Monday OF
last week gold valued at $26,0OO,O00
has entered the local assay Office
Since May 10 the total value of Brit
ish gold sent to the United States
has reached $200,000,0OO.
It was said today that several Ca
madam cities will ship gold to New
York in addition to exports direct
from. London. The assay office. it is
understood, stands ready to receive
100000 week for an indefinite
period.
The British government, according
to bankers, wishes to pay cash for
goods bought here, and while the pro-
ceeds OF the various loans have gone
further to meet this requirement than
the actual gold, still the British off
Gals want to supplement the loans
constantly with more and more gold.
