Soaring Values Of PIow Lands.

When farm plow lands increase in
value per acre by one-dfth In one
year and by one-half in four years,
something has occurred that may be
called a phenomenon" These In
creases in value are indicated by the
results Of investigations by the bu-
reau Of crop estimates. In March.
1916, pillow lands in the United States
had the average value Of 1853: in
the same month In 1917 the average
was 362.17: in 1918 1t was $e8.3s; in
1918, $74.31; and at the same time Of
the year In 1890. $Soyo1 building val.
ues in al years not being included

The average value Of 1890 is 81
per cent shove that Of 1915 & mar
cent above 1917, - per cent above
1913, and 81 per cent above 1918.
Hence It appears that BY far the
greatest rate Of yearly Increase was
from 1919 to 1859. TO the extent

Farm and Garden Notes

the case is not entirely hopeless. and
a number Of crops. including lettuce.
spinach. kale, swiss cnard, celery
snap or string beans, beets, radishes,
and even tomatoes. if pruned and
tied to stakes, may be grown where
sunlight can be secured for period
of four or five hours day.
Shading from trees is more obJec-
tionable than that from buildings,
because the trees not only shade the
plants but their roots draw upon the
soil moisture and plant food in the
soil thus robbing the plants OF the
source of their living. As rule II
is not safe to plant any garden crop
within 25 or 80 feet Of rapid growing
trees like the maple.

All debates on the league OF nations have
been academic. The language OF the league is
assortcd by side to mean one thing, by the
opposing side. to mean something else only
tho event itself affords final proof. Yet the In
tclligcnt mind of one person is as snfe in
reaching conclusion concerning the written
word as the mind OF any other person
However there are some facts to he obtained
even now. For instance:
President Wilson has inserted that Article
Is the very heart OF the covenant" ana must
not be changed In any respect
Now Article y specifically stlpulates that all
members are TO hc protected against external
aggression; member nations obligating them
selves TO afford that protection.
Persia Is member nation. And Persia Is
being invaded 10y tho Russian Bolshevild army.
Here is II direct and unquestionod cnso In point
Tho league should have at once gone to the
relief ot Persia. Persia applied for the assis-
tancc in due form and under the terms OF the
covenant But the members OF the league did
not dispatch'an army to protect Persia,
Tho explanation is offered that the United
States is not member OF the league Is the
conclusion fair one that If 1t had been It
would have been required to finance and fur
nish an part an expedition to tisht OFF the boil
shoyk army2
As the case stands the iusincority OF tho
league is apparent. II tho United States had
been a momher and had the league compiled
with us clear ohlgauons, can there be any
question but American boys would have been
transported TO Persia 10 fight under an alien
commander and for an alien cause?
AZ Frisco OF the two great parties Is
preparing to commit itself to tho acceptance
OF tho league without destructive reservations"
which means that the heart OF the covenant"
must rCmain as written.
