The Agriculturist in New South Wales
A Most Attractive Field.

Sunny New South Wales, with its
blue skies and balmy breeZes, and the
easy means it offers for the acquisi-
ton of land, and with it's remarkably
low death rate (9.75 per 1000 last
year,, is to the agriculturist the most
attractive land. perhaps, in the world
! today.
For the man with comparatively
small capital there is no better field
for wheat growing, for one thing.
To thousands of men from overseas
it has proved land of big opportuni-
ties and immense achievements
country of vigorous health, huge har
vests, and wondrous wealth.
The newcomer to New South Wales
will soon find that he is fortunately
placed. as did many a man with linn
tied means who came from other coun
tries TO better himself in the gold
boom days and became big landed
proprietor, living to a ripe old age OF
eighty years or more
The average yield of wheat for the
last 10 years over the whole of the
state was lis bushels to the acre-a
yield which can be greatly increased
by careful farming. In one year, fol-
lowing drought, the crop failed, but
In the following year the average yield
was IL bushels. These averages in

sweeping, contenptuous filings at
those who presumed to criticise the or
iginal draft Of the covenant immedi-
ately after It's publication.
Mr. Taft was ready, apparently, to
accept the first draft without change.
The tone Of his writing on the subject
changed rather sharply, however, af-
ter the country began to be heard
from. He agreed that many Of the
amendments suggested should be
made Mr.. Taft appears now to be
willing to accept the new draft as it
stands. His present judgement
would be more highly valued by the
American people if they did not have
in mind the revamping processes thru
which the previous Judgment went.
In what he has to say now Mr.. Taft
pays the highest sort of compliment
to the sagacity and craftsmanship of
Mr.. Root. The tribute is one, we be-
lieve, that is seconded by most intel
ligent American citizens. Mr.. Root
should have been a member Of the
peace delegation to Paris, but only I'M
der conditions that would have enabled
him to use his great talents freely
in the interest Of his country and the
world.

SERIOUS QUESTION

Gravely distressed in their sense of
propriety by the thought that, when
ever they lifted their soft hats in
passing salutation, the pressure of
their fingers was likely to make a
dent that must be smoothed out after
ward, two ingenious Englishmen have
invented a metal spring that automa-
tically restores the graceful shapes OF
their hats. The invention reminds
one of the unsuccessful campaign
started, some years ago, by man III

the "hat-tipping evil" because it nee

Colonel William FL. Donahue. Because
the celebration in Minneapolis is in
honor of these men, who already have
been discharged from the service, Col
onel Donahue said, they will be group
ed and designated so that the public
may know to what units they were
assigned.
Men who joined the army and were
sent to mobilization camps, Colonel
Donahue said, will be grouped for the
parade according to the camps to
which they were sent. After gathered
they will be grouped according to the

Business Is Sold

H. N. Bell last week sold his I'M
dertaking establishment to Jensen
and Root of Morgan who will put the
stock and equipment in an up-to-date
building soon. They also expect to
add an auto hearse to their equipment.
Mr.. Jensen is licensed embalmer and
is thoroughly competent to take care
of all branches of the business. Mr..
Bell has been the victim of bad health
for sometime past and is still unable
to attend to the business SO it seemed
advisable to sell it. He will continue
his residence in Redwood Falls how
ever. Mr.. Bell has conducted a very
successful business here for a great

the necessity for his retirement.

and of it's popularity as a profitable
form of agriculture, may be gathered
from the fact that the area under
