Some of these Minnesota farmers are { golng to bear down heavy on all three {this coming season. There is no doubt that such as do will harvest bigger crops. Whether they will make more money is another ques- {tlon. One which will depend to a big degree on the shrewdness and skill of individuals. A farmer may in- crease his crop by a quarter, but, if at the same time he increases the cost of producing it by a third, he will lose money instead of make it. If, however, he can increase his crop by a quarter from an enlargement of only a fifth in his expenses, then he is doing good business.” Which of the two he will do will depend more on him than on the crop or the land. of to tendency ‘in every field industry, these days is The human { didn’t amoun met =t whether on the t Hoine years ago, and not so either, the wasté of nephthas and ti like zrownd a petroleum refinery was| A little was | ” but it to ma»h Now, how- ever, by the diseovery of mw uses for e waltes and néw xfl:mls in saying them, the asj ut ngs has quite thmg T its tre- merasus emanfi for gns e and the | like, has compietely lr thB tables at these r\-umnra fistend of oline, m or in Keroséne, from the P _other worl gasoiine, 1scoveries and m ‘the place. reaim of s { g and the gnflVfl’lBS} i the dust to use We of the farms must join the procession.

A negro pearl hunter the other day found a pearl weighing 47 grains in the waters of Lake Bioteneau, near Shreveport, La., said to be one of the largest gems of its kind in the United States. The finder sold it in Shreve- port for $250, and the purchaser in turn received $1,500 for the stone. The second owner was a merchant, but the third a professional pearl buyer. This last values the gem at $106,000. Stronghold of Wasps.
