Its disciosurea shocked the entire country. *■ We do nut expect' men to be with-1 'out faults, bu t we-1do expect them no ttob e tray » tru s t fo r'a 'p riv a te gain.

We,however, consider i t for 'the best interests of the country that such things. Should be brought to light. There is no stronger influ­ ence to heap some men straight, than fear th a t the ir actions wlli.,b« given publicity. Tt is a pitiful spec­ tacle, a man in.wliDin the people have reposed trust and who proves himself unworthy ol It by stooping to accepting bribes of money or in­ fluence. The disclosure of such actions has been well termed muckraking, the odor from it is so foul. Did you ever dig out muck and catch the oiler? Neither is their a fouler act than the selling out of the people by one Whom they have honored. If Mul- iiall can prove Ills statement every one of these men should bo retired to private life, regardless of ability.' We dannot afford to lmvo in public office, men who are not true to 'th e people and the man who listens eagerly to representatives of special Interests and does tlielr bidding is, not serving the public.

E. BUCK. not We liqve come to the dividing Of the ways—we have reached a critical point In' the history of our agricul­ tural development,- Aniilo from the 35,000,000 acres hi the United States that can ho reclaimed by Irrigation, and the 74,000,000 acres of farm lands tbatTan he made available for culti­ vation by means of drainage, no very large areas of virgin soil 'remain to- be brought-under cultivation in our country. In time/ of course, these: barren lands will bo made t o , yield abundant harvest's - but for tho pres­ ent we must Joolnoluewhere to find a solution of the problem with which we are confronted, If we, are to keep on going forward if will be necessary •for uo to secure larger yields from the fields, that are already under cultiva­ tion, That is to say, our problem is not bo much how to Increase the popu­ lation. in rural communities as It- Is to increase the producing capacity of the people already on thefarm. A v e ra g e Y ields. The average yield of corn ffer acre In the United States is only about 27 bushels. - Our average yield of wheat is only 13.7 bushels per acre-r-and the aver­ age yield of nearly everything’ we grow on the farm Is exceedingly low, compared with tko yields in other countries-. It is high, tima w&wore waking up. ‘and doing, something, Better Farm Management Needed, One hundred years ago the Mohawk valley in New York was the wonder of Europe, was the wonder of the world ypr us fertility, and thousands of car­ loads of cattle, hoga and farm crops were shipped out of that valley until .its fertility hits been exhausted." The settlers the^nroyea westward into the Miami an'd Scioto valleys of Ohio, &nt| did the same tUing-ovor againr Fol­ lowing the exhaustion of 'these rich valleys, the magnificent broad prairies -of Illinois and Iowa v-ero brought un­ der cultivation, and the same process is now being repeated. Even. in the Rod River Valley of-the North, where lavly Kansas. Nebraska, Colorado, California and Utah—tlig great alfalfa skates, w« liata reached the point where we know we can grow alfalfa in the corn belt, and it la now up to us to grow i t Where Alfalfa Is Grown, The accompanying map shows,where nlfcdta'ie grown,in the United States today. At the present time alt the alfalfa grown in the United States is lean than the area of the little state of New Jersey, The total area under alfalfa in, this country la 4.707,136 r.eres, Of this area Kansas alone has 956,962 acres of alfalfa—^or about one- fifth of our entire alfalfa crop, Nebraska comes second with 685,- 882 acrep; Colorado third, with 568,892 acres; California fourth, with 484,134 acres; and Idaho fifth, with 363.892 acres, AU of the corn.belt states are lam­ entably ahy in .the growing of alfalfa, as to shown by the following rank in which they come as producers of the crop: ' • Missouri, 17; Ohio, 19; Iowa, 20; Illi­ nois 22; Wisconsin", 23; Indiana, 24; Michigan, 29; Minnesota, 35, With the,Unquestioned advantages of alfalfa; v?o should be growing more of thto great legume crop.
