WOMAN SUFFRAGE The home is the greatest contribu tion of women to the world, and the hearthstone is her throne. Our so cial structure is built around her, and social righteousness Is in her charge. Her beautiful life lights the skies of hope end her refinement is the charm of twentieth century civilization. Her graces and her power are the cumu lative products of generations of queenly conquest, and her crown of exalted womanhood Is jeweled with the wisdom of saintly mothers. She has been a great factor in the glory of ourcountry, and her; noble achieve ments should not be marred or ber hallowed Influence blighted by tbe coarser duties of citizenship. Amerl. can chivalry should never permit her to bear the burdens ot defending arid maintaining government, but should preserve her unsullied from the allied influences of politics, and protect her from the weighty responsibilities of the sordid affairs of life that will crush her Ideals and lower her stand ards. The motherhood of the farm is our Inspiration, she is the guardian of our domestic welfare and a guide to a higher life, but directing the af fairs of government Is not within wo man's sphere, and political gossip would cause her to neglect the borne, forget to mend our clothes and burn the biscuits. the World as a Farm. Taking the world as one big farm, we find two billion acres of land In cultivation. Ot this amount there is approximately 750,000,000 acres on tho western and 1,260,000,000 acres on the eastern hemisphere, in cultivation. This estimate, of course, does not In clude grazing lands, forests, etc., where large quantities ot meat are produced. The world's annual crop approxi mates fifteen billion bushels of ce reals, thirteen billion pounds of fibre and sixty-flve million tons ot meat. The average annual world crop for the past fire years, compared with the previous five years, is as follows: Past Halt Previous Half Crops Decade. Decade. Corn (Bu.) 8,934,174,000 8,403,656.000 WheaUBu.) 8,522,769,000 3,257,626,000 Oats' (Bu.) 4,120,017,000 3,508,316,000 Cotton(Bales) 19,863,800 17,641,200 The world shows an average In crease in cereal production of 13 per cent during the past decade, compared with the previous five years, while the world's population shows an Increase of only three per cent Tbe gain in production far exceeds that of our Increase in population, and it is safe to estimate that tbe farmer can easily increase production 26 per cent if a remunerative) market can be found for the products. In textile fibres the world shows an Increase during the past halt decade in produc tion ot 16 per cent against a popula tion Increase of three per cent. The people of this nation should address themselves to the subject of Improved facilities for distribution. Over-production and crop mortgage force the farmers Into ruinous com petition with each other. Tbe remedy lies in organization and in coopera tion in marketing. Good Old Days.
