Coming so recently after the attempt
of the leuver department stores to dic
tate terms to the pre-,s, the decision of
Lord Kincairney of the Glasgow Court
of Sessions on the "butchers' boycott'
case is of eiclal Interest. The Whole
sale Co-operative Society, a Glasgow
department store, resorted to what the
Glasgow butchers considered unfair
means to get rid of the small trailers
and the ..small traders organized a Isiy-
cott. The boycott interfered with the
Co-operative Society's business, and
grew so oppressive that suit was insti
tuted. The trial has attracted wide at
tention In Great Brltam. The court
found the Glasgow small traders bad
acted within their rights In "bringing
such influence to bear as tbey could
upon the cattle salesmen and bide,
skin, and tallow brokers," and that the
society had failed to show any grounds
for seeking damages. In fact, the com
bination of the butchers was decided to
be perfectly lawful. In speaking of the
decision the Meat Trades Journal says:
"To the meat traders of the country it
is a splendid object lesson, amply dem
onstrating what can be done when a
few men really in earnest make up
their minds to any legal and constitu
tional action necessary to protect their
Individual Interests." The decision, if
sustained, will place a weapon In the
hands of the small trader In Scotland
of which be will not be slow to avail
himself. Whether It would be good law
in some of the American States Is, of
course, another story.
Over a billion dollars' worth of pro

would have been almost a UlUion and a

worth $.r01,072,9.r2; wheat came second

bushels, and Illinois, with still leas

928,085, outstripping both Kansas and
Iowa, with their greater acreages. In
the production of wheat Illinois Is far
down the list, being seventeenth.

comes Kansas "with 47,ft)8,f52. Ohio
occupies the third largest wheat bin.
Iowa 'stands at the top of the oat-producing
States w Ith 103,721,100 bushels,
and Illinois, with one-sixth lens acre
age, Is a close second with 92,198,490
bushels. Alaska and the District of
Columbia are the only divisions of the
union that produce nothing In the ce
real line for the maintenance of man
kind. The Congressional Record la the
only thing that has any resemblance to
serial form In these widely separated
districts. With about the same acre
age, the production of bay was atmoet
as miwli as that of wheat, being $401,
390,390. Hay produces better value
per acre than either corn or oats. This
is something for the farmers aa well as
their cattle to chew on.
When the Sea Was Fresh Water.
The ocean was once mereiy brackish,
and not saU, as It U now. This was
wben the earth was In Its flrst youth
and tefore there was any land showing
at all or any animal life In the water.
At Ihta time the water was gradually
cooliirg from Its original elate of steam,
and the suits were slowly undergoing
the change from gssea Into solids.
Then came the appearance of land, and
later on rivers, which gradually wash
ed down more and more saMa, while
at the bottom of the ocean itaetf cIumu

more brine to the water. AA present
It la estimated there are In the world's
oceans seven million cubic miles of

about It is that It aU the aait could be
