E, Widespread Mov.m.nt From Farms to Cities sod Towns Declarad C.us. of D.ellns In Farming Prolucts and Rtverul of Order Held to Be Need of Country. BY MADISON C. PETERS To lower tho cost of living our ag riculture must (tmw s rapidly our commerce mid manufacturing. I lti l our agricultural products were worth Ions than .0HtW.OOO, while our manufactured products were . worth more than O.OvO.C-OO.OiH) and our Internal commerce was estimated St fI6.lHt0.tf00.000. We have S.000.000 square miles of territory l.So.t.OOO.OtW) seres of laud We have STS.000.tfOO seres of land within our farms, 47S.OotUH-0 acres of improved farm land; nearly half of our total ares is unlnhabitated and un. productive. The widespread movement from the farm to the cities and towns accounts for the decline In the products of the farm. The corn crop of 1S10 was IH.000.000 bushels less than that of ten years before, it was crown on It per cent li-ss land. 20 per cent less product and 43 per cent (treater value; tho apple crop was smaller by ST. STC.000 bushels, the wheat crop was greater on account of the better yield, but the number of acres on which it wss grown was less b ymore than S, 000,000 acres. People Outgrow Crops. The people are growing faster than the crops; the farmers are not raising enough to feed the increasing millions of consumers. New England produces only one-tenth of its foodstuffs. In 1900 our population was less than ". 000.000. in 1910 it was nearly SJ.OOO.- 000. an Increase of 16.000.000. but our I foodstuffs did not grow in proportion to the number of our people. For the production of all cereals, for everv lOSO inhabitants, the acre age In 1310 was 341 less, the product S.M0 fewer bushels and the value f:lt0 greater than in 1J00; 14 per cent less land. 16 per cent ies proauci and 4S per cent greater value. For orchard fruits the number of trees of! bearing age. for every 1000 people.) in 1110. as compared with 1300. was 15S6 less, the product 416 bushels less.) the value ft30 more; 36 per Cent few-1 er trees, 16 per cent less fruit and 39 j per cent greater value. For all crops, for every 1000 inhabitants the acre age In 1910 was 342 acres less than In 19o0; 9 per cent less land under cul tivation and a product costing the con-j Burner 51 per cent more. Decrease Crops Costly. j The decrease In crops required to I feed cattle accounts for the falling off, of livestock on the farms and partly j explains the high cost of meat. In: 1910 the number of sheep of shearing ': age was 39.644.000; in 1900. 39.S53.-j 000. In 1910. 72 per cent of thej sheep were raised west of the Mi I sissippl river and half of them In the i mountain states. The farmers of the! Eart, Middle West and South are go ing out of the sheep business the' number of sheepgrowers decreased) 132.000 or 20 per cent; during the de-i cade every fifth man quit altogether. in 1S50 there was in the I'nlted: States almost one sheep for every citi-1 ten Bix or seven pounds of wool that i made three yards of cloth. In 1S"0. there were seven sheep to every 10 j persons. In 1S90 six to every 10; in i 1900 Ave. and in 1910 only four to 10! persons. In the decade meat cattle: decreased. 5.910.0OO and swine, 4,6S2,-j 000 and as the number decreased the value increased. Twelve of tho older j Northern states show a falllnr off of; 2.000.000 in the number of cattle, with i a corresponding decrease in the num- ber of sheep and swine. The decline; of the rural population means less pro ducts of the farm which are necessary for the feeding of animals, which lackj of food explains the shortage in cat-i The Passing of )OUR horses ft! much and get much.

Charity Preferred to Farmlna Our people Nock to the cities where they would rather stay and starve than go to the country and work. While th cities have thousands of strong men holding down the park benches, the crops in the country perish be cause there are no men willing to work; these men would rather tletiid on charity In the city tnan help to solve the crying need of our cities, the production of moro food stuffs. The men who won't work, should be given bv law this alternative healthy work, furnished by the city or a raw hide and IS minutes to take their choice. rarents everywhere are selling their farms and crowd the cities to be near the saloons, dance halls, gambling halls and the movies. In this con nection It is worthy of note that some products of the farm have not de creased barley, raised maluly for breweries and distilleries, was grown on 3.2SS.00O more acres In 1910 than in 19O0; this Is greater by 63.T09.OOfl bushels and the valuation by fj0.S26. 000. While our exports on food stuffs and meats have declined, the export on leaf tobacco Increased with the 10 years including 1912. 79.000,000 pounds. With the lessening of th food supply, people resort to drink and tobacco and we drink more liquor and smoke more tobacco than ever; while food stuffs have gone up In an aeroplane, whisky and tobacco are kept within the reach of even the poor so that while four times more cigar ettes are used today than 10 years ago, they cost about half what they did then, and the glass of beer has become a 'schooner." So that while we eat less because It costs more, we drink more because it costs less and makes us forget the high cost of living. Persons Should Stay on Farms. If we cannot get the city people back to the soil, we must make coun try life attractive enough to get those now there to stay. Agriculture must be kept in the very forefront of our Industrial procession: It Is the basic Industry and national giving to agrl culture is distributing benefits to other industries. When the farmers pros per the spindles multiply, the ships are well freighted and. money is cur rent The failure of Congress to ad journ is less hurtful to the country than the failure of the cropa would have been. Our hope Is In the soli rather than In the statesman. Of the f700.000.000 spenl annually to conduct this Government, scarcely i per cent of our total appropriation goes to aid our 6.400.000 farmrs, the 41.0O0.000 who reside on our farms and the 11.000.000 persons more than 10 years old who work on those farms to feed, clothe, educate and support the people of our cities. Millions of dollars are expended an nually for Federal buildings to beau tify our cities and towns, add to the comfort and conveniences of their in habitants, but nothing to construct public highways, and little. Indeed, to increase the comforts, promote the conveniences and add to the profits of our fanners. Better Facilities Needed. Our fanners must have better facil Ities for transportation, better bank ing facilities. lower Interest, with their crops or lands as securities with the National banks, better means of communication, more economical methods of transporting and distrib uting the products to he consumer.

We are behind all civilised nations In public roads. Tho parcels post will mean the extension of rural commerce, through which tho farms will be built np. agriculture advanced and consumers have cheaper food. The absence of the graded schools from the rural districts contributes to the depopulation of our farms. One of the most serious drawbacks lo country life Is Inferior educational ad vantages. I would have the school house open every night at civic and recreation centers. The social life of the farm must be Improved. The curse of country life is Its Isolation, ltrldget explained her preference for living In tho city on cold charity to plenty In the country, on the ground that "peoples Is better compauy than stumps." It seems Impossible to drive the poor from the cities, or coax them with better pay to settle In the coun try they stay, starve, sicken and sink In the city. The farmers' daughters fly the farm at the first opportunity and resort to shops and factories at starvation wages, rather than take service in farmers' houses, w here they are received as members of the family, and when they marry give the perfer ence to mechanics and tradesmen be cause they live In cities and towns. Mora Drudgsry In City. Our young men, unmindful of the fact that the coming profession Is ag riculture and the new discovery the riches of the soil. In their desire to lie among the multitude and to meet life, leave the country for the tempta tlons and seductiveness of city life, thinking "to make something of them selves, often And the magnificent mis ery and gilded poverty which exists within the city walls, and the young folks who might have been somebody at home find the lonesomeness of liv ing and moving among the millions whose names even they do not know, an isolation moro peculiar thnn th. monotony that curses country life. There is more drudgery In the cl'.y than in the country more nerve ex haustion and consumption of vital forces amidst the, noise and confusion of passing multitudes than amidst the stillness of country life. Surely the farmer today Is better off. fares better, lodges better. Is more Independent and gets a belter return for his labor than the city toiler. Portland Oregonlan. HERUN, Oct. 15. The German pro tected cruiser Vineta, in addition to the Hertla, was ordered today to pro ceed to American waters owing to the disturbances in Mexico. WASHINGTON. Oct. 15. The Mex ban situation today was regarded by officials here as drifting toward a crisis, with the I'nlted States await ing Huertaa next move. The commanding feature was the action of the Spanish Minister In Mex ico City calling a meeting of the dip lomatic corps to discuss Huerta's as sumption of a practical dictatorship. Administration officials and diplomat ists attached deep significance to that. WHEN THE EARTH QUAKES. 8trMe and Strains to Which Our Globs Is Subjected. When the stairs creak and the furni ture gives out mysterious crackling sounds at night we sometimes sit up In bed and wonder If there Is a burgtar shout, but It doesn't occur to us that wbnt we bear Is really an earthiuskt on a small wale. The night air has caused the wood to contract with a mi p. thus accounting fur the alarming sounds. This Is Just exactly what the earth Is doing periodically. To a mi crobe, reposing on tbe polished sur face of tbe table, this disturbance Is probably as violent as an earthquake is to a human being. An earthquake Is a terrible thing. It comes without warning. It Is over be fore one knows which way to fly, and its fury can be abated by no man. Yet to the geologist earthquake are only symptoms. Tbey are not causes so much ss results results of great stresses and strains within tb earth that rsuxe slipping and slidlngs from time to time. If the rocks ou the shell of tbe earth slip and grate Against each other so much ss an Inch along a fissure ten miles In length a shiver Is felt A slip of fifteen feet along a course of 200 miles sufficed to bring about the terrible Kan Francisco earth quake and Ore. These strains s rid stresses accumulate steadily within the earth. Tbe point at which they bare once found relief Is weaker to resist tbe next strain. It slips again presently. By successive movements Its sides become more and more displaced, dock layers, mineral veins, coal seiuus that cross the line of displacement, are Jogged out of their course. So are roads, fence lines and brooks that run across It on tbe sur face. In the Ran Francisco quake on man's fron; yard wss moved twenty feet to one side of bis house, and In another place the slip Una cam so close to a man's barn that some piles of straw, thrown out from tho win dows, were carried sway. In Japan a cliff twelve feet high Interrupted a road way, and thousands of similar cases might be cited. These were primary movements along tbe lino of tbe dis turbance that caused tb earthquake. -Brooklyn F.agle. wigg I nuppooe Mrs I'nenncn aas the best of everything Wsgg Well, perhaps tbe bent of everything except manners Philadelphia Record.

NEW YORK. Oct. 15. Captain Francis Inrh. whose steamer, the ul turno, was burned at oea, with the probable loss of Ut lives, told bis story of the disaster last night. It Is a plain seaman's tale, but In It l";1 horrors of the disaster and the terrl bis ordeal through which passengers and crew passed are brought out clearly. Captain Inch does not say what caused the fire, reporting simply that the chief officer advised him at 10 minutes past 7 o'clock on the morning of October 9 of its existence below and that five minutes later the flames has burst through the forward hatches and were sprendlng rapidly. Although all possible measures were taken at once to subdue the fire, the raptaln's story shows t'.iat It was even then too late to save the watch below. The men were trappd In the forecas tle and burned to death there. CAPTAIN GOES TO AID OF NOME SUFFERERS NOME, Alaska. Oct. 15.

With the closing of navigation only a few weeks away, Nome Is In a de perate plight, so far only 110,000 for the relief fund has been received from the outside. All of this has been dis bursed and more Is urgently needed.

If It proved possible to save them the number of fatalities from yester day's explosion would be reduced to 613, It was stated. The rescuers were working desperately to reach the Im prisoned men, and morn volunteers were descending to help them, though It was said there was more than an even chance they would not come up alive. The Imprisoned party, according to word sent up from Inside the mine, were in a small chamber to which, af terdamp had not yet penetrated.
