PORTO RICO IN MISERY. ‘The poverty, the sorrow, the mis- |- ery- that is Porto Rico's, jand what America and. Americans can do ito save the little country from itseif, has been outlined.-by Governor Arthur Yager in a statement. - Governor Ya- ger said in part: “There is much wretchedness and poverty among the masses of Porto Rico. Their dwellings are hovels, al- ed beyond belief. Their food con- sists of rice, codfish and beans, sup- GENERAL OFFICES NEW YORK AND" CHICAGO BRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES " UNCLE SAM HAS PREPARED THIS FARMERS’ GUIDE TO WHEAT A guide book to enable farmers to distinguish between different vari- eties of hard wheat has just been published as Farmers’ Bulletin No. 680. By aiding wheat growers to test their varieties, it is hoped this bulletin will enable them to keep . their seed free from crosses. Durum wheat, for example, may be " distinguished from most of the com- mon wheat grown in the durum wheat districts by means of the fol- lowing descriptions: Common Wheat—Heads rather slender, beardless, or beards less than 3 inches long; spikelets far apart, scarcely overlapping, wide when seen in face view. Durum Wheat—Heads rather stout, all bearded, beards 4 to 8 in- ches long; spikelets close together, much overlapping, narrow when seen in face view. STUMP-PULLER IS TESTED AT DULUTH The one-man stump-puller of the ratchet type has been proved to be a useful instrument for the man of small means on Northern Minnesota cut-over land. According to tests under the direc- tion.of M. J. Thompson, superintend- ent of the Northeast Experiment sta- tion 'at Duluth, good results have been secured with such machines. ‘With one machine and two extra men 23 green-and 42 dry stumps were pulled in one day-of nine hours. The total labor cost was $6.75. The stumps were.spruce, balsam, ash, pine and cedar, and averaged about ten inches in diameter at the cut-off. Some dynamite was used with stumps more than twelve inches in diameter unless they were decayed and the roots were not all removed. ‘This type of machine, adds Mr. Thompson, - has several -things in its favor. It meets the requirments of the ‘man-of small capital who has no horse, has means ‘of buying only a mteq amount of explosives,: yet who:must ‘make a clearing of some sort quickly. It is useful on wet ground where a drum machine or explosive ‘cannot be used, and it works very: well in a dense growth where the'-diameters of trees are from six to eight' inches. In sandy - soils where stumps average less than| -twelve: inches in diameter the ma- ‘chine“is -very economical of opera- tion: - In removing-larger stumps the use of some dynamite is often neces- “BAFYy: In ‘spite ‘of ‘its advantages, Mr. Thompson- declares, such a machine - cannot-altogether displace the use of explosives ‘and horse labor 1in- the clay soils. Onm such land, grass-seed is sown among the stumps, cattle. are |- pasturedfor several years and:then the stumps-are blasted and removed by -horse power. Settlers: on Northern: Minnesota cut-over land would do well to com- municate with-Mr. Thompson if they |: find- special difficulties in their land. clearing STATE TIMBER: CUTTING RESTRICTIONS (By' the’ Minneapolis Journal.) The success of the recent sale of state timber, notwithstanding = the scfentific restrictions suggested by the state forester and stipulated by the state auditor, illustrates how much may ‘be'done by energetic and pub- lic‘spirited officials, even when the letter of the law behind them is not ‘very ‘expHeit. When it was first proposed that timber cutting contracts be let by the state under these new restrictions, there was an‘outery in some quarters that-the things couldn’t be done un- der-the existing laws. It was ar- gued ‘too; that “loggers couldn’t af- ford-to uke eontrnctu on any other plemented by the native wild fruits. “Their ‘wages are barely sufficient to maintain their existence under these miserable conditions. Thege conditions have prevailed in Porto Rico for many years. While much has been done to improve the island since the American occupation, it has not been possible to make- marked improvement. The fundamental cause is the enormous population, 1,200,000 people. “The present population is about 350 to the square mile. There are only two or three small states that have more people per square mile, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Jersey. “The area of the island is about four-fifths mountaineous, much of it being so steep that it can hardly be cultivated at all. Yet this population is so evenly distributed over its whole surface that the center of population is only about five miles distant in a straight line from the geographical center of the island. ‘““The population is steadily increas- ing. “The production and export of cof- fee remains about the same as in Spanish times. The output of the sugar: industry has been multiplied by six. The export of tobacco, eci- gars, etc., has been increased more than nine times. ““The people of Porto Rico are a kindly, -charitable, lovable - people. The devotion of parents to their chil- dren is equal -to that shown among the people of any land.” But, owing to their inherited improvidence, their racial characteristics, and perhaps to: | the tropical climate,-those checks up- on population which in colder climes |.- seem adequate to keep the increase of ‘the people well* within ‘the linmits; of subsistence seem lacking -among them. “The only effective remedy is the transfer of large numbers of Porto Ricans to some other region: “There is one eountry only hope- fully open to a movement of :Porto Ricans, and that is Santo Domingo. “I believe it to be:the duty of the United States to make.the arrange- ments' necessary to make:.it possible that these: two- neighboring: islands{f over which it has assumed acertain control should = supplement other’s needs in respect to popula- tion.” WEALTH OF‘WAR POWERS.

Behind this recognition, however, is the fact that Carranza outbluffed President Wilson and won. The president did not want Carranza, but to every action he took, Carranza was equal to the occasion.
