The necessity of better farming wan
the message voiced by James J. Hill, known
as- the nulldrr of the "northern empire,.'"
In two speeches In Omaha Thursday. Be
fore the Commercial club at a banquet
given In his honor last night, Mr. Hill
spent two hours of earnest appeal 'or bet
ter agriculture, urging Immediate steps
and proposing a plan for the state of
Nebraska to carry the science of the col
leges out to the farms.
"There Is but one way to educate the far
merthat Is on his farm. It looks like a
hard proposition to go out onto the farms
to do all lhat Is to be don. Now If Ne
braska will appropriate $50,000 a yeer, 110,-
000 of that for seeds of the light kind, and
will hire too ybung men from the colleges
and send ' them out ten days before the
planting time with this seed to cirry their
message to the farmers something can
be done. Each man can reach ten farmers
at least. Now that would mean 1.000 farm
ers In the st.ite of Nebraska. Let them
by an actual demonstration show how
crops can be Improved, let them Increase
thst farmer's crop for him and that farmer
will have been taught a leon , that he
will never forget. Let ni tell you 50,000
spent In that way will do more good than
all the lectures In the world.
"You have got to have your colleges,
but let them be the places of scientific
experimentation and study, and let the
farmers have the results.
"Don't shoot over the farmer's head
Show him how to double his crop and
you won't have to teach him again."
Wlisrd with Statistics.
Mr. Hill's speech was a searching an
alysis from his point of view of the social
and economic conditions and to back up his
assertions he delved (Into his own exper
ience and the financial history of many
nations, -With startling ease he quotes
figures and facts from the Industries and
trades of races and nations from every
corner of the globe.
"Our total gold production amounts to
$90,000,000," he said, "less than one-eightieth
of a single year of our agricultural pro
duction. When you dig out the mineral
wealth It is gone. There Is just a hole left.
If we plant wisely we can look forward to
the future with confidence. 1
"What you want to do to make Omaha
great Is to preserve and enhance the value
of the soli on which we live. All prosperity
will come to you out of the ground and out
of the care of the ground."
It 'was with much of mixed humor and
sarcasm the Mr. Hlil related in kindly
words something of his own experience In
his campaign for the improvement of agri
culture In the northwest.
"I have been occupied with this move
ment for twenty-six years," said he, "try
ing to teach the farmers of the north to
play with more than one string to their fid
dle. Their string up there was wheat
farming and they found it easy to work for
four months out of the year and sit on a
keg whittling the rest of the twelve. When
the drouth of 18SJ came I decided to add
another string to the fiddle and spent $260,
000 In Importing and distributing cattle and
hogs of superior breeds. They. Sold' these
high bred' -animals to th Iowa and N-.
braska farmers because they could get a
little more than' for natives. Now they
have got their reward tor this, tor they
all want those cattle back.
"Let me know when I. give another
$100,000 In cattle to them," he added in an
amusingly whimsical tone."
Mr.' Hill deolared that Oreat Britain had
seen Its best days and that the great na
tion was now on the verge of a radical
change In government. He uttered a word
of prophecy, declaring the United 8tatcs
was fast following In the steps of Qrsat
Britain and that decisive measure must
be taken to make this nation secure.
Subsidies and the Canal,
There was much In Mr. Hill's speech, ex
pressed as having a bearii.i on his agri
cultural lesson, that Involved affairs of
large Importance In the world's doing ft
today. In no uncertain terms Mr. Hill dis
paraged the ship subsidy, and he offered
no compliments to the Panama canal
Meanwhile he took occasion to express
himself as favoring deep water ways, but
straightway proceeded to olrcumscrlbe his
approval by sharp strictures.
The most that might be expected as an
appropriation for ship subsidy would be
$10,000,000," declared the speaker. "That
wouldn't be enough to go around among
The good old-fashioned
kind, such as delights the
hearts of the Tennessee
mountaineers and the Ken
tuckey colonels. Noted for
its purity and fine flavor.

Th Panama canal came In for an Indi
rect sort of condemnation as an avenue
for commerce, In the speaker's address.
He pointed out that the United States
was making a play for South Araeiioan
trad as th motive back of th canal, and
yet that there was no great export to the
eastern states of South Amerloa for whlnh
no canal was necessary.
'We buy .our coffee from th Braslllans
and they spend th money In Paris for
wines and silks," he remarked In derision.
Tho Wsaje Problem.
In a discussion of economlo problems, Mr.
Hill ascribed a part of th Increased eoet
of living to the Increasing demands of wage
earners. This, he said, entailed the in
crease In the cost of production that mad
neoeasltlea high. In support of this he
declared It to be a fact that while the
commodities produced In th United States,
the country of high wages, had advanced
30 per cent In the las? ten years, while the
Increase In the cost of th large majority
of Imported commodities, as for Instance
rice and sugar, had Increased In but a
small comparative degree.
Mr. Hill's speech was full of Jolly side
lights and humor. He did not often lose a
chance to poke fun at George W. Hold-
reg of th Burlington and A. L. Mohler
of the Union Pacific, who sat at his table.
T'U get even." interjected Mr. Mohler
from his ohalr, In answer to on of thee
shots.
"Which reminds m," rejoined Mr, Hill,
unruffled in th least, "of th time ttvat
Walter Alexander, Mr. Mohler' predeces
sor, refused the Mormons a half rat for
their missionaries. '
" 'I'll meet you in heaven.' said the rep
resentative who asked th rates,
" 'I'll be there,1 was Alexander's reply."
Then everybody had a laugh, wondering
at the same Urn whether It was on Hill
or Mohler.
Mr. Hill spoke In highly praising terms
of the history of th Burlington and its
policy In development, with an added com
pliment to George W. Holdrege. Often
to the course of his speech the crowd rose
to cheers and storms of applause.
Mr. Hill was Introduced by .John U. Web
ster, who outlined in laudatory terms the
message that air. Mill had to deliver,
At the clob of Mr. Hill's speech Mr. Web
sier expressed th appreciation of the
people of Omaha for his visit her In a

NEW YORK STILL FURTHER
FORTIFIED BY SUNKEN MINES
After Years of Trial Isbmarlat
Bombs Are Sot in Deep
Water.
WASHINGTON, Dec 10, After years of
fruitless endeavor, submarine mines havs
been planted Jn deep waters of th ' Race,"
at th eastern entrance to Long Island
Sound and New Tork Is further fortified
against attack by sea,
Announcement of the solution of this
problem was made today by General Ar
thur Murray, chief of th coast artillery,
In his annual report to the seoretary of
war.
Until recent experiments were made it
was believed by army and navy offloers,
that mines could not be planted in water
deeper than 100 or 128 feet. It was found,
however, by th officer of th coast ar
tillery that It was quite as easy to plant
the mines In deep water as In shallow, if
heavy enough anchors were obtainable. So
with anchors, weighing 1,600 pounds, mines
were planted in the "race" at a depth of
IX. then W0 and finally 900 feet.
