Progress on the Farm.

"HE Importance of careful and scientific
farming has made much progress in the
United States, but there is room for
further Improvement, according to Secretary
of Agriculture Meridith, who handles the sub
ject Interestingly in his annual report to Con-
gress. 1t is unfortunate and regretable that
the enterprise of the farmers in improving
and undermining their methods is denied the
reward that their diligence and thrift so " /
deserve. But event if conditions over which
the farmers have no control and which have
depressed prices all over the world have oper-
ated to deny to them fair return, the fact
remain that the lessons learned from the ap-
plicaton of modern methods have not been
learned in vain. The farmers have at least
lightened their labors, and will. in future
years, be abundantly rewarded,
The American farmers have raised larger
crops this year than last year, but notwith-
standing this increased yield the value of
farm product has shrunk by SIS 900 ,000, 900,
according to accepted estimates. The decline
in the prices of the products, which reflects
the demand and the worlds ability to buy,
accounts for the shrinkage in values.
1t is evident, rom consideration of con-
ditions under which the bumper crops were
raised, that the fermars have done their full
duty in seeking to ceed and clothe the world,
and that their laborS reflect unQuestiOned evil
dence of advanced methods in The cultivation
of farm lands.
The acreage actually under cultivation, we
are informed, was smaller thai for the pre-
vious year and less labor was employed in the
cultivation of the crops. 1t follows therefore
that the per acre per man yield was much
heavier. Favorable weather conditions, it is
stated, accounted in part for the increased
yield, but the bulk of the incr ase was due
to the farmers themselves. With improved
methods and more intelligent application they
got better results.
In the past there have been complaints
agai. st the methods Of American farmers
more especially Southern farmers. They have
been criticized as wastefu1 and unscientifc
The farmers have been charged with not i'm
proving their opportunities. The fertility Of
the soil and the abundance Of land, it has
been remarked, have contributed to lax
methods and wastefulness. 1t has been shown
that European farmers, with Tore care and
intensive methods, have secured far better
yields.
The report of the Secretary Of Agriculture
for the past year shows, however, that the
American farmers have awakened, and that
many improvements have been introduced in
every section of the country. In no part of
the country have the farmers made better
progress than in the South, where it is noted
that modern and scientific methods have sup
planted the careless Ind slipshod methods
that have heretofore prevailed.

National Gambling

Nearly $4,000, 100000 changed hands this

the basis of information reaching government

Treasury department officials are deeply
concerned over the situation, which indicates,
they say, that the United States is still cling
ing to wasteful and extravagant habits that
grew up since the war
The situation has been brought to the at
tention of Secretary of the Treasury Houston.
Director William Mather Lewis, of the saw
ings division, now is considering whether an
appeal to the public through ministers and
civic societies would be effective.
