Luther Burbank, whose dis
coveries in the realm of plant life
have brought him an international
reputation, makes tho statement
that the great opportunity for our
boys and young men 1b in agricul
ture. He points out that after the
young man has spent eight years at
hard study of medicine, the law or
engineering, he has not made a suc
cess; he is only prepared to com
mence to battle for it. WhereaB, to
add but one kernel of corn to each
ear grown in this country in a single
year would increase the supply 5,
000,000 bushels. One improvement
in the potato crop is already paying,
back $17,000,000 a year. Every
thing we eat and wear comes out of
the ground. "With less than half our
population raising things, should
there bo any wonder that the cost
of living has increased 58 per cent in
fifteen years? To quote from Mr.
Burbank:
"What the world needs, urgently
and now, is men who can increase
Jthe forage from our present acreage
so that 16 cents will buy a pound of
the choicest sirloin, aB of old, in
stead of a pound of rump, as now.
What the world needs is not theory,
or agitation, or college lore; thero
are plenty of these, and at a cost of
$180,000,000 per annum in money,
and who knows how much time, they
have succeeded in increasing our
crop yield only a baro 3 per cent."

On tho Iron Mountain railroad
demonstration farm at Hope, Ark.,
oat land plowed four inches deep
yielded hut 23 bushels to the aero,
while the same land plowed ten
inches deep and fertilized yielded 77
bushels to the acre. This increase
results from the fact that deep plow
ing afforded a better reservoir for
soil water, and dry weather did not
delay the growth. In tho deeper
plowing a larger amount of moisture
came in contact with more soil par
ticles and dissolved more plant food.
There was also more space for root
development, and the larger root de
velopment was enabled to secure
moro moisture and more plant food.
BATS ARE USEFUL ANIMALS
Superstition has invested tho bat
family with an air of mystery and re
pulsion, but tho biological survey of
the United States department of agri
culture declares that tho bat is a
harmless creature and a distinctly
valuable animal economically. The
ordinary bat eats nothing but insects
and conseqeuntly is ordinarily a
benefit rather than a plague to a
neighborhood, as they destroy mos
quitoes, and a great number of other
intitPta that harm crops and orchards.
This, of course, does not apply to the
vampire bat of tho south.
MR. BRYAN ON THE JOB
Honore Willsie in Harper's Week
ly Many say that Mr. Bryan Is over
ambitious; that he is inefficient in
his work; that ho neglects his office
while he takes the Chautauqua tour.
But Mr. Wilson says that he has no
moro loyal adherent in tho cabinet
than Mr. Bryan; no one who so per
sistently puts himself last; no one
who is bo little insistent on patron
age., Tho other members of the
cabinet love him and speak of him
as "dear old Bryan." He more than
anyone else made possible the hold
ing together of the party and will
Sake possible the passing of the
president's measures. He repre-

(Continued from Pago G.)
lion's interests than private individ
uals acting in the dark and for their
own advantage.
But thero is another proposition.
This hill opens the door to tho
state bank. Do you havo state hanks
included among your members?
Tho President: Yes, sir.
Mr. Bryan: T am glad you have.
I do not know of any reason for se
gregating those belonging to national
banks from those belonging to state
banks; there are moro state banks
than national hanks and they enter
closely into tho life of tho country.
Tho day of monopoly is passing, and
this bill recognizes that as far as
banking is concerned the day of
monopoly has passed. This bill has
as one of its provisions that the
state bank, as well as the national
bank, can loan the emergency cur
rency. I believe it is a good pro
vision. Now let me call your attention to
the great benefit which this bill
brings to the banks and through the
banks to the community. I believe
that the lending of governmen
money, not upon bonds, but upon
other securities furnished by the
banks, , would justify the banks
in accepting every other pro
vision in there; and If the banks
themselves are not quick to accept
the provisions, the people of the com
munities who will be benefited ought
to bo quick to compel, by public
opinion, tho acceptance of these pro
visions. Under the old law, if you
want to borrow the money of the
government, you must put up bonds.
But you can not buy bonds without
investing as much money in bonds
as you can borrow on tho bonds;
therefore, you bring no new money
into the community, you do not bring
in as much as you send out. But
under this bill the government lends
money on other security; it does not
require investing in bonds; it brings
new money into the community, and,
thus through the bank, relieves the
temporary distress that that com
munity may feel. This Is made pos
sible by tho guaranty of the re
gional bank.
This bill has been drawn with re
markable ability, and its benefits are
balanced so evenly that tho people,
speaking through the government,
can claim a victory, and the banks,
looking at the advantages it gives
them, can claim a victory also, and
each business community can fee!
that a blessing has been conferred
upon it in a bill that thus unites
public and private advantage. As
the time has come for me to go, I
shall conclude in one sentence. I
congratulate the great state of Vir
ginia in having furnished to the na
tion a president, born in the Old
Dominion, to lead a fight for the cor
rection of existing evils and the
establishment of a system that will
be just to the wholo people and, at
the same time, advantageous to tho
banking community and the people
with whom the banks deal. I thank
you. (Great applause.)
