N flILL CIVES TIP T0 FARMERS| | Tells Them to Use Their Knowledge | to Make Profi't. RAPS SUBSIDY AND THE CANAL Dispars ges Former and Has No Compliments to Pay the Great Enterprise Along the Zone, The necessity of better farming was the message volced by James J. Hill, known as the bullder of the “northern empire.’ in two speeches In Omaha Thursday. Be- fore the Commercial ciub at a banquet given in his honor last night, Mr. Hill spent two hours of earnest appeal for 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- mer—that is on his farm. It looks like & hard proposition to go out onto the farms to do all that is to be done. Now if Ne- braska will appropriate $50,000 a veer, $10,- 000 of that for seeds of the right kind, and will hire 300 ybung men from the colleges and send them out ten days before the planting time with this seed to carry their message to the farmers something ocan be done. Each man can reach ten farmers at least. Now that would mean 2000 farm- ers In the state of Nebraska, Let them by an actual demonstration show how crops can be improved, let them Increase thet.farmer's crop for him and that farmer will have been taught a lesson that he will never forget. Let me 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 piaces of sclentific experimentation and study, and let the fermers have the results, *“Don’t shoot over the farmer's head |8how him how to double his crop and you won't have to teach him again.” Wisard with Statisties. Mr. Hill's speech was a searching an- alysis from his point of view of the soclal and economic conditions and to back up his ertions he delved \into his own exper- tence and the financial history of many natfons, JVith 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 sald, “less than one-eightieth of a single year of our agricultural pro- duetion. When you dig out the mineral wehlth 1t is gone. There is just a hole left. It we plant wisely we can look forward to | the future with confidence. “What you want to do to make Omaha st 18 to preserve and enhance the value | of the soil on which we live. -All prosperity | will come to you out of the ground and out | of the care of the ground.” | 1t ‘was with much of mixed humor and |sarcasm the Mr. Hill refated in kindly | words something of his own experience in his campaign for the improvement of agri- culture in the northwest. “I have been occupled with this move- | ment for twenty-six years,” said he, “try- jng to teach the farmers of the north to pley with more than one string to thelr fid- dle. Thelr string up there was wheat tarming 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 1883 came I decided to add another string to the fiddle and spent $250,- 000 in {mporting and distributing cattle and hogs ‘of -superfor breeds. They_sold’ thes high bred animals to the lowa and N braska farmers because they could get a little ‘more than for natives. Now they have got thelr reward for this, for theéy all want those cattle back. “Let me know when I give ‘another $200,000 in cattle to them,” he added in an amusingly whimsical tone.” Mr. Hill declared that Great Britain had sedn Its best days and that the great na- tlon was now on the verge of 'a radical change in government. He uttered s word of propheey, declaring the United States was fast following In the steps of Great Britain and that declsive 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 beari:s gri- cultural lesson, that Involved affairs of large importance in the world's doing cf 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 eircumscribe 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 | | Fine Corn| Whisk The good old-fashioned kind, such as delights the hearts of the Tennessee mountaineers and the Ken-Q§} tuckey colonels.

The Panama canal came in for an Indi- Tect sort of condemnation as an avenue for commerce, In the speaker's address He pointed out that the United States was making & play for South American trade as the motive back of the canal, and yet that there was no great export to the eastern states of South America for whiah nal was necessary. 'We buy our coffee from the Brasillans and they spend the money in Parls for wines and silks,” he remarked in derision. The Wage Problem. In a discussion of economic problems, Mr. Hill_ascribed a part of the increased cost of 1iving to the increasing demands of wage earners. This, he said, entailed the in- crease In the cost of production that made neceasities high. In support of this he declared It to be a fact that while the commodities produced in the United States, the country of high wages, had advanced 30 per cent In the last ten y while the increase in the cost of the large majority |of imported commodities, as for Instance rice and sugar, had Increased in but & small compatative degree. Mr. Hill's speoch was full of jolly side- lights and humor. He did not often lose & chance to poke fun at George W. Hold- rege of the Burlington and A. L. Mohler of the Union Paaific, who sat at his table. “TIl get even, imterjected Mr. Mohler in answer to one of these shots. “Which reminds me,” rejolned Mr, Hill, unruffied in the least, “of the time that Walter Alexander, Mr. Mohler's predeces- sor, refused the Mormons a half rate for their missionaries. ““I'll meet you In heaven, said the rep- resentative who asked the rates, “T'll be there,’ was Alexander's reply." Then everybody had a laugh, wondering at the same time whether it was on Hill | or Monler. Mr. Hill spoke in bighly praising terms of the history of the Burlington and its policy in development, with an added com- pliment to George W. Holdrege. Often in the course of his speech the crowd rose to cheers and storms of applause. Mr. Hill was introduced by John L. Web- ster, who outlined in laudatory terms the message that Mr. Hill had to deliver, At the close of Mr. Hill's speech Mr. Web- ster expressed the appreclation of the people of Omaha for his visit here in a pieasant speech. The banquet was all that could be asked in every appointment, from the tastelul decorations In grains and grasses to the Appolinaris.

Kelby, NEW YORK STILL FURTHER FORTIFIED BY SUNKEN MINES After Years of Trial bmarine Bombs Are Set in Deep Wate: WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.—After years of fruitiess endeavor, submarine mines have been planted in deep waters of the ‘Race,” at the eastern entrance to Long Island Sound and New York s further fortified against attack by sea, D Announcement of the solution of this problem was made today by General Ar- thur Murray, chief of the coast artillery, in his apnual report to the seoretary of war. Until recent experiments were made it belleved by army and navy officers, that mines could not be planted in water deeper than 100 or 125 feet. It was found, however, by the officers of the coast ar- tillery that It was quite as easy to plant the mines in deep water heavy enough anchors were obtainable. So with anchors, weighing 1,500 pounds, mines were planted in the “race” at & depth of 135, then 200 and finally 300 feet, is the trade- mark which is found on every bottle of the genuine Scott’s Emulsion the standard Cod Liver Oil préparation of the world.
