Half-Million Club to Picture
California's Advantages
at Atlanta.
A PHOTOGRAPHIC PANORAMA.
The Educational Interests to Be
.;. Worthily Displayed in the
. '"'. [ . South.
The educational interests of San Fran
cisco will be worthily represented at the
Atlanta Exposition.
Superintendent A. J. Moulder received a
mmumcation from the Half-million
Club yesterday stating that it was the pur
pose of the club to arrange for a set of
steTeopticon slides and lectures to illus
trate the history, progresaand institutions
of California at the Atlanta Exposition,
and requesting that the Superintendent
should contribute to the Bbowing of the
educational advantages of the State, which
will be made. Mr. Moulder has signified
h.is willingness to comply with the request,

and there is every reason to believe that \
California's pardonable pride in her
schools will be gratified by the display
made in the South. i
Preparations for the photographic dis- j
play, which will comprise the school ex
nibit, are progressing so satisfactorily that
it is expected that the collection will be
sent to Atlanta on the Ist prox.
school buildings will be shown, ,
and 300 classes. There will be photographs j
of the following buildings: Girls' High, j
Lowell High, Polytechnic High, Normal,
Horace Mann, Lincoln. Clement, Denman,

The -work is being done by Tabor, Thor
and Bushnell. Each is preparing photo
graphs of twenty school buildings, and
mounted on the "same sheet will be five
views of the interior, each containing some
figures, besides showing the appointments
of the rooms. The plan for these interior
views is to show the classes at work as far
■:. aapossible.
The views, which are all eight inches t>y
ten, are triumphs of the photographer's
art. The group by Taber showing the
Girls' High School and some of its depart
ments is a good specimen of the arrange
ment of the views. The upper spaces are
occupied by pictures of the building as
seen from Geary street and a view of the
assembly-room* with several hundred stu
dents on the platform. Below are views of
a portion of the grounds and the conserva
tory. The others are of the laboratory and
studio.

the manual arts will be photographed at
their work, and there will be a view of

Superintendent Moulder's directions to
"throw life into pictures of the bold fronts
of <choolhouses by having all the windows,
platforms, fences, so far a? practicable,
crowded with the heads of pupil?," have
been followed with pleasing results.
The work will be completed by the latter
part of the week, and as soon as approved
will be sent to the Southern cap.tal for the
admiration of all spectators, none of whom
have seen a handsomer school buildine
than the Girls' High School, nor braver

THE TEAIN CREW WON.
Four Belligerent Passengers, Whose
Tickets Were Confiscated , Hurled
Oft" a Southern Pacific Express.
.T. Morgan, S. Baily, \V. Byrne and G. W.
Reid, who were traveling from this City to
Los Angeles on tickets from Chicago last
Sunday, were hurled off the train at
Saugug as the inspector concluded that
their tickels were not genuine.
They were asked at Bakersfield to sign
their names on slips of paper, and accord
ing to the inspector's story these signatures
did not correspond with those on the tick
ets. Without further parley the four pas
sengers were ordered to leave the train,
which they firmly refused to do, and they
traveled over the mountains, believing
themselves secure from molestation. At j
Mojave the conductor ordered them off, at
the same time assuring them that they
would be dragged and pitched out if they
still insisted on remaining in their seats.
The quartet held a council of war presently
and then replied defiantly that they in
tended to remain. The train crew held a
consultation and proceeded in a body to
rout the enemy. A tierce scuffle ensued
when the train stopped at Saugus Junc
tion, but the trainmen came out victorious,
leaving four badly battered and disgusted
young men on the depot platform.
The company's agents in this City were
very busy yesterday endeavoring to trace
the tickets, which they believed had been
sold second hand through a "scalper"'
named Duftin in Los Angeles. Still they
were in a state of anxiety over doubts that
the four tickets might have been genuine
and that a mistake was made. With some
suits for heavy damages for the same
cause hanging fire the Southern Pacific
passenger agents had begun to fear that
scalpers and others were laying traps to
entangle the company in further suits,
which if successinl would make ticket in
spectors so excessively careful that people
could travel with almost perfect freedom
from ejectment on scalped tickets. That
means that the company would prefer to
let a suspicious ticket pass rather than
run the risk of a damage suit in taking it
up and putting its possessor off the train.
Lowell Cadets.
The cadets of the Lowell High School of this
City are drilling very hard preparing for an
inspection by an officer from the Presidio,
which will take place in a few days. The
company was organized in 1882 and is com
posed of students from the several classes of
the school.
An English Colony.
James W« Pearce of this City, who represents
an English syndicate, has purchased the Dia
mond ranch of 60,000 acreb or ninety-four
square miles, situated in Tehama and Shasta
counties. It is to tie opened for settlement to
English farmers.
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21, 1895.
THE BAY DISTRICT RACES.
Jockey Peoples Had His Leg
Fractured by a Kick From
Conde.
MARY S FIRST AT 15 TO 1.
The Dapper Little Chestnut Horse
Royal Flush Proved to Be In
Fine Fettle.
Henry Wendt was the new-comer in book
makers' row yesterday, swelling the number of
pencilers on the block to nine. Jovial Dave
Higgins (Rataplan) handled the cash for Mr.
Wendt, and to *cc Dave shuffle a stack of twen
ties was an instant reminder of the faro
dealers in the old Comstock days.
To use a slang phrase, Mountain Air was
overlooked "like a white chick" by the judges
in that rattling finish to the third race yester
day. His nose was as plainly discernible in
front of that of Heartsease as are Saturn's
rings through the great telescope of the Lick
Observatory, but the officials could't see it, and
no doubt the bookies rejoiced thereat, for he
carried a barrel of coin for the place. The win
I of Crawford was & sudden reversal of form, but
! the time was slow, and, could Mountain Air
have have had a more artistic ride, the purse
would have been all his.
From a telegram received by Thomas H
Williams Jr. yesterday "Counsellor" Bill Breen,
one of the Santa Anita stable trainers, must
again be in hot water. The New York Jockey
Club wired asking for full particulars of the
trouble that led the California Jockey Club to
warn the "Counsellor" off Its course nearly a
year ago.
Denny Lynch of the Arizona stable, tired of
seeing The Judge devour oats by the quart
without winning a race, and "Mooae" Taylor,
who often wished Colonel Jack Chirm had
never brought Red Will across the Rockies,
concluded yesterday to swap horses. Red
Will finished third yesterday, and bo far
Denny had the best of the bargain.
Colonel Zeke Abrahams thought very well of
his filly, City Girl, and advised his friends to
take a chance. The filly's previous race was a
poor one, and that of yesterday was but a
slight improvement. She did not look well
issuing from the paddock, and her race plainly
showed she was "off." Some weeks ago Zeke
had quite a promising string of horses, but
misfortune seems to be hovering over them of
late.
Conde displayed his abilities as a kicker
yesterday, with disastrous results for
Jockey Peoples, who had the mount on
Uncle Giles. The accident occurred while
the horses were at the post in the opening
race, a live-furlong dash with a field of j
eleven starters. While lining up at the
post the boy pulled his mount over a bit
too close to suit Conde, and the chestnut I
elevated his heels, one of them striking
Peoples on the right leg below the knee,
fracturing the bone, which will necessitate
his absence from the saddle for some j
weeks to come. He was replaced in the |
saddle by E. Hill.
That good filly Belle Boyd was the only
favorite to win during the day, and the
oooKruafcers undoubtedly experienced a
very profitable day. The big surprise of j
the day's racing was the defeat of Hearts- J
ease, the 1 to 4 favorite for the third race.
Liberal scratching reduced the number
of starters in the opening race to eleven,
and Corrinne Buckingham was made the
favorite.with 13 to 5 her closing quotation.
The Powhattan mare was never in it from
the jump. Conde and Pied Will, both well
fancied in the betting, apparently had the
race between them, when Mary S, a 15 to 1
shot, passed them in the last fifty yards
and won by a length. Conde beat Red
Will out a bead for the place. The time
for the five furlongs was slow — 1:02^.
The 6to 5 favorite, Belle Boyd, carried
off the honors in the next race, a rive and
a half furlong spin for two-year-olds,
though not without a tussle with Card
well. The outsider led the favorite until a
sixteenth from the wire, where she col
lared and passed him, winning cleverly by
a length m 1:08^. Josephine finished a
fair third.
With Heartsease a prohibitive choice the
coin played in on the third race, another
five-and-a-half-furlon^ run, was principally
on a place horse, which was divided be
tween Mountain Air and Crawford, the
former receiving the largest proportion.
The favorite was never able to open up
much of a gap of daylight between herself
and the field, and when it came to a drive
the last furlong she was beaten out a neck
by Crawiord, who had eights about him in
the betting. Mountain Air apparently fin
ished a nose in front of the favorite, but
was placed third.
Although the Westchester stable's repre
sentative, Fred Gardner, had shown him
self no adept at the sprinting distances, he
was backed down from twos to a 6 to 5
choice for the next race, over six and a half
furlongs. Charmion was a decidedly
strong second choice, with Royal Flusn
next in demand. The others were but
lightly considered. To a poor start Char
mion soon showed in front, but had
enough before the head for home was
reached and pave way to Royal Flush, who
maintained his advantage and won very
handily by two lengths. In a hard drive,
Hinrichs on the outsider, Warrago, outfin
ished Chevalier on the favorite, taking sec
ond place by a short head.
Little Bob certainly looked the best of
the poor lot in the last race, a mile dash,
and was made a7to 10 favorite. In a hard
drive he was beaten out i a nose by Ade
lante, backed down from 5 to 3% to 1 by
the "wise set." ; Mulholland.

MINERAL LANDS DISPUTE
An Effort Being Made to Have
It Settled in a Friendly
Way.
Southern Pacific's Proposition to
Have a Joint Inspection
Accepted.
Attorney John M. Wright, one of the
members of the mineral lands committee
of the California Miners' Association, per
sonally informed Land Agent W. H. Mills
of the Southern Pacific in writing yester
day of the appointment recently by the
Miners' Association of a committee to act
jointly with a similar committe from the
Southern Pacific in an endeavor to settle,
amicably and satisfactorily if possible, the
mineral lands controversy.
An answer is now awaited from Mr.
Mills. The communication tells its own
story as follows:
Mr. W. 11. Mills, Office Southern Pacific Com
pany, San Francisco, — Dear Sir: I have
received from J. J. Crawford, State Mineralo
> gist, a communication of which the following
is a copy: •
San Francisco, Cal., Aug. 17, 1895.
Mr. John M. Wright— Dear Sib: In reply to
your Inquiry of this date I will state: About two
weeks prior to June 6 last 1 visited the office of the
Southern Pacific Company in this City and held an
interview with W. H. Mills, and I think Mr. Singer
was also present.
I supgested.to Mr. Mills that it was desirable
that some sort of agreement should be reached
between the Miners' Association and the railroad
company, and that a stop should be put to the>nue
and cry which the valley press was making
against the miners. ■'■ / ,'■
After considerable discussion Mr. Mill* finally
proposed that the ' railroad company' and > the
Miners' Association should each select/a commis
sioner: that the railroad company would furnish
transportation for the two commissioners to the
different points throughout the State which they
might desire to visit; and that the two commis
sioners should jointly act in determining the min
eral or non-mineral character of what are known
as the "unpatented railroad lands" throughout the
ate. '
Mr. Mills stated that the railroad company
would abide by the decision of the commissioners
selected In this manner and would file relinqulsh
ments to the Government of Its claims against any
and all lands determined by such commission to be
mineral land. Yours truly, • . J.J.CBAwroRn.
The subject matter of the above-quoted letter
was stated by Mr." Crawford to the executive
committee of the, California Minors' Associa
tion at its meeting held in the Maple Room of
the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, on or about
June 6, 1895. .
The committee took no definite action re
garding the matter at that time, for the reason
that your proposition stated by Mr. Crawford
had not been reduced to writing. . \
Said committee at its meeting held
on Friday, August 9, 1895, however, in
structed the association's committee on
mineral lands to communicate with your com
pany and with yourself as its representative,
with the view of ascertaining definitely
whether gome such arrangement as that pro
posed by. you in your conversation with Mr.
Crawford can be reached between your com
pany and the California Miners' Association.
i It is with this view, and in pursuance of said
instructions, that, as a member of said mineral
lands committee, and at its request/and at the
request of A. H. Ricketts, its chairman, 1 now
write you. • ■
Said mineral lands committee is composed of
A. H. Ricketts, E. C. Loftus, C. P. Hoffman,
Charles G. Yale; and John M. Wright. At the
last above-named meeting of the executive
committee Hon. J. H. Neff, president of the as
sociation, was specially ' authorized to act with
said committee for the purposes indicated by
this letter. , Your early answer is respectfully
requested. Yours very truly,
..-..- John m. Wright. .
THE PEBSS ASSOCIATION.
Country Kdltors Discuss Excursions to
Atlanta and Sacramento.
At a meeting of the executive committee
of the California Press Association held in
the Occidental Hotel Monday evening it
was decided to accept the invitation to at
tend the Electric Carnival to be held in
Sacramento. The offer of Supreme Court
Clerk H. A. McCraney to make the press
headquarters in the Capitol building was
also accepted. The question of making
up a press excursion to visit the exposi
tion at Atlanta was discussed, but nothing
was decided upon. A committee con
sisting of C. IP, Montgomery, J. T. Daniels
and E. B. Willis was appointed to see if
the association's funds would warrant an
excursion and if special rates could be ob
tained from the railroads.
THE CALIFORNIA RANCHES
Lemon-Growers Seem to Be
Exalting Over Producers
of the Orange.
PEOFITS IN GARDEN TRTJCK.
Peach Crop Round Selma— The In
creasing Demand for Nour
ing Fruit.
The Department of Agriculture at Wash
ington has received samples of corn from
Peru with grains four times the size of the
ordinary kind. It is very prolific and
bears very large ears. The species is dis
tinct froni any known in North America,
and the name "tea amylacea" has been
given to it.
A resident on Bank street, in this city,
pays the Grass Valley Tidings, finds that
his house is being made a hive of industry.
A swarm of bees alighted on his woodpile,
and since then the industrious insects have
begun storing up honey in the walls of his
cabin between the weather-boarding and
the ceiling. They enter by a cavity be
neath the baseboard, and come and go Just
as they would were it a veritable beehive.
The orange seems to be taking a back
seat to the lemon as a Southern California
product for market. A number of the
oldest orchardists in this section, says the
National City Record, are cutting out
orange stock and budding to lemon, so un
profitable seems the former fruit and the
outlook appearing so promising for the
latter. The cured product is not so easily
obtainable. Lemon growers are for the
present on the top of the market and are
proportionately happy.
J. M. Moss, who has a ranch a mile or
two south of town, is selling some peaches
which are about as near perfect as such
fruit can be, says the Bakersfield Cahfor
nian. They are of the Muir variety, and
are large, fine looking and luscious. Many
of them average fourteen ounces to a pound
in weight." The trees which produce this
fruit were only planted two years ago this
spring, yet from some 300 of them he will
gather upward of five tons of choice fruit.
Borne of the trees actually measure 21
inches in circumference at a foot or two
from the ground, and all are fine examples
of growth. Mr. Moss believes in thorough
cultivation, aided by irrigation, and the
result is that he has a model orchard, just
as the fruit he is selling is a model of what
it should be.
J. M. Main, whose place is about seven
miles out on the Los Gatos road, thinks he
has no reason to complain of his condition
this season, says the San Jose Mercury.
He has fifteen acres, on which he has 7000
vines, while the remainder is planted to
prunes, peaches and apricots. From sixty
apricot trees he got six tons of fruit, being
an average of 200 pounds to the tree. He
sold them for $30 per ton, which brought
him $180 from a little more than half an
acre. He sold his prunes for $30 per ton
and is drying his peaches. Mr. Main is
one of the many who have found fruit
growing profitable. Twelve years ago he
went into that neighborhood with only $20
in his possession. From the proceeds of
his fifteen acres he has paid for the place,
put up his buildings and made a living for
himself and family.
It does seem a pity that the famed Ore
gon apDle of fifteen years ago, througa
neglect and careless methods, has been al
lowed to deteriorate until, where once It
was in demand throughout the entire
West, now but a Final! home consumption
is found for it. In this, reference is made
to the old orchards, the orchards which
less than ten years ago were the pride of
the State. These trees have become so in
fected with the codling moth and other
pests that it were better they be destroyed
and the orchards replanted with new,
thrifty varieties. Then with the old-time
orchardists giving to the trees such cul
ture and care as demanded in the present
status of the fruit-growing industry, where
everything mii6t be of the best to compete
in the market, in a few years with the
bountiful soil of this State Oregon apples
will have regained their prestige. — Port
land Oregonian.
Ben Calvert was in town the other morn
ing with a wagon load of the finest vegeta
bles we ever saw, consisting of cucumbers,
tomatoes, string beans, onions, etc., says
the Willows Journal. Mr. Calvert has
been working on ranches around Willows
for a number of years until last winter,
vhen he purchased ten acres of land from
P. R. Garnett and at once commenced pre
paring the land for gardening. He put up
a windmill and planted all kinds of garden
seeds, trees and vines, and has been sell
ing vegetables all season. Mr. Calvert says
he will make more money on his ten acres
this year than he ever did by working for
wages. He says if he had water to irrigate
with he would not give his ten acres for a
300-acre wheat ranch. Mr. Calvert claims
that with water ten acres will support a
large family, and when Central canal is
completed, "he says, wheat farming will be
a thing of the past.
There is an immense crop of peaches in
this vicinity, says the Selma Enterprise.
Selma is indeed the center of the peach
belt of the State. The crop never fails
here. In other portions of the State and
throughout the United States the crop is a
short one, in many sections an entire
failure. Mr. Brown on the McCall road
sold the crop on his 14-acre orchard for
$1700, and is repenting it. Roy Baird is
drying the crop on the Cutler orchard on
shares, and is in clover. Ed Butts paid
a good lump of hard gold for thirty acres
of the Walker ranch and will get back half
the money this year. The Gartenlaub
orchard, which returned between $6000 and
$7000 to Mr. Gartenlaub last season, is
making a bigger return this season. Now
lei the producers remember that the peach
crop of the United States is short, and that
so far as can be learned from exchanges,
this immediate section is the only part of
the State where the crop is abundant.
It is strange that the growing of tea has
not been the subject ot more experimenta
tion in this country, for there are sections
in which the climate must be right, and
the price is such as to encourage the hope
of large returns, observes the Oakland En
quirer. Coffee and tea culture seem to be
at present the most profitable branches of
agriculture in the whole world, and while
coffee is the crop on which Mexico is
building up a new prosperity, the tea busi
ness is proving very profitable in India.
One of tne incorporated tea-growing con
cerns in that country recently paid a divi
dend of 50 per cent, showing how much
money there must be in it. Tea has been
grown in California as an amusement by
amateurs, but in South Carolina there is a
tea farm which is operated for business.
It does not seem to have been going long
enough to show what the outcome is going
to be, but one thing has been determined —
that the tea leaves can be gathered and
fired— the two operations involving the
most labor — for 20 cents a pound, and with
this small labor cost there ought to be
margin for profit in producing an article
which sells for from $1 per pound upward.
The Orchard.
The first and the very best of food pro
vided by a kind Creator was fruit, deli
cious, nourishing fruit, says the N. A.
Horticulturist. And although the habits
and conditions of mankind In regard to
food have undergone great changes, fruit
is stiJl the most important, the most grat
ifying and the most healthful food. Peo

The Sick and Suffering to Be Treated FREE Upon the Stage. ,
ADMISSION FREE! SEATS FREE I
TREATMENT FREE!
Never before in the history of California has such a noble, charitable and magnani-
mous offer been placed before the sick and suffering as that which to-day emanates
from the Pacific Coast Medical and Magnetic Institute. With the twofold purpose in
view of alleviating suffering humanity and to quickly introduce the latest discovery
and most scientific method in the treatment of all chronic diseases, thereby affording
an opportunity to see and judge for themselves relative to the unquestionable efficacy
of magnetism as the one great healing power of the universe, the management makes
the unprecedented offer to treat all who are sick ABSOLUTELY FREE at Metropoli-
tan Hall for one week, commencing THURSDAY NIGHT, August 22.

THE WORLD'S GREATEST MAGNETIC HEALERS.
i There was a day when magnetism as a curative agent was doubted, but that day
has passed. The Human Magnets have perfected too many remarkable cures that
cannot be disputed. They have been witnessed by hundreds of thousands of people
throughout Europe and this country. They possess a power too strange to define, too
mysterious to fathom, too miraculous to comprehend, too wonderful to explain, too
remarkable to conceive. Their public demonstrations of healing the sick are the most
glorious and awe-inspiring of all triumphs in medical research. The audience becomes
Fairly bewildered as they witness the almost instantaneous healing of chronic cases that
have been pronounced incurable and given up by the medical profession. No pen or
words can describe such an exhibition of soul-stirring events. It is worth going miles
to see.
The Human Magnets are without a peer in their profession ; they are the acknowl-
edged leaders and exponents of Magnetism, not only in this country, but in all Europe,
daily generating, as they do, eight times more of the vital fluid than any other known
Magnetist. A power so strong and subtle in its effects that they cure the most difficult
and malignant types of chronic disease often by a single treatment, which for years
had baffled the best medical experts. '
By this marvelous power and gift of healing, combined witn their famous Mag-
netized remedies, they have cured the deaf, blind and lame and all diseases of the
throat, lungs, heart, liver and kidneys and nervous system, vitalizing and driving all
impurities from the blood. They are especially successful in all forms of paralysis,
rheumatism, epilepsy, dropsy, diabetes, Bright's disease, tumors and cancers, the
stomach and womo— -surpassing anything ever attempted or conceived of the healing
art. ■■> ■ ••■■■'<'.: ■ •''■': '■■ ■- v- ':■'-:■■:■ •■Vv-.-^T-ii .. .

to the necessity and value of fruit as a
daily food, and the consumption of fruit,
together with the trade in fruits in larger
cities is assuming enormous proportions.
The increasing demand for fruit is encour
aging the growing of fruit on a larger
scale for market. But it also brings both
profits and pleasure to grow fruit for do
mestic use.
Where there is a garden, large or small,
there is a place for fruit trees or berry
bushes, which, with a little care, will
prove a constant source of enjoyment. But
where a larger parcel of land is available
there the planting of an orchard is to be
urgently recommended. For an ideal
orchard, which would give the best kinds
and varieties of fruit during the whole
season, and which would supply a large
household and leave a surplus for friends
or for market, we should advise as follows.
Of course our selection will have to be
modified for extremely cold or warm
climate, and can be changed to suit differ
ent tastes or wants:
For an orchard select a soil and situation
adapted to the growing of different varie
ties of fruit for domestic use. For general
purposes a light sandy loam is best, but
every soil to be used "for fruit or berries
should be warm, with natural or under
drainage, and must be made rich with
barnyard manure or green crops plowed
under. The manure must be well rotted
and thoroughly mixed with the soil. A
spring or disk harrow and a narrow shovel
cultivator are best for working the soil.
In laying out the orchard set out enough
of each kind to amply supply the family
and a little more, and plant each kind by
itself in blocks like fields of grain. This is
necessary on account of the different habits
of growth and of fertilization. Those of a
spreading growth like apples need more
room, and must be planted farther apart
than others. The spread of roots may be
judged correctly by the spread of the limbs,
which grow and spread in exactly the same
proportions as the roots.
When planting for domestic use *^in
rows not too long and make full row
each kind. Keep the seed fruit togetlfc
and also the stone fruit. Distance for
planting apples to be not less than 30 feet
each wav, pears about 20 feet, peaches 16x
20 feet, plums and cherries 16 feet, quinces
about 12 feet. To utilize all the ground in
an orchard, small fruits may be grown be
tween the trees for several years before
these will beein to bear. Grapes should be
planted 8 feet apart each way. Currants
and gooseberries 6x4 feet. Blackberries
and raspberries in rows 7 feet apart and 3
feet in rows. Strawberries for field culture
in rows Ix 4 feet, for garden culture 15
inches each way. The stock should be
young and sound, carefully taken from the
nursery, leaving the roots in good condi
tion, and properly planted. Apples will
do best when planted 3 years old; pears,
plums, cherries and quinces when 2 years;
peaches when one or two yeaTs, grapes at
1 or 2 years, and all other berries when 1
year old.
On many a farm the disc harrow would
be a labor-saving machine. But this im
plement is by no means perfect. lam sat
isfied that the best results— except on sod
ground— can be obtained by taking a good
double-shovel plow and working the soil
thoroughly with it. But this process is too
slow.
The cost of production of every manu
factured article is much lcds to-day than it
was ten or twenty years ago. This cheaper
production was brought about by improved
machinery and the concentration of capi
tal. Part of the business world thinks that
wheat selling at 50 cents is in the same pro
portion as their manufactured articles sell.
Probably it is. But the farmer has not the
labor-saving machinery as the manufac
turer. Neither is the concentration of cap
ital practical. We do need labor-saving
machines on the farm, at reasonable
prices, to lessen the cost of production.
The shape of the field has a great deal to
do with the cost of plowing. Profitable
farming in ten-acre fields is a thing of the
past. The less turning the cheaper the
production. Complete revolution is neces
sary on many farms. Many middle fences
must be removed.
