A recent consular report reprints the
statistics of homestead entries in tl
Canadian northwest that were recent
ly published in the Toronto Glebe
These figures show that in the year
ended June 80, 1003, 31,002 hoinsteti
entries wero recorded, or inore that
double the number of the previous yeat
when the list showed 1-1,289. The
month of Juno itself showed no fewe:
than 0,0W4 entries as conpared with
3,349 for the corresponding month of
the previous year. In the last two
years there has been a very steady up
building of the population in the Cia
nadian northwest, a moveient that has
been encouraged by both the govern
ment and the railroads. As a result It
may be expected that Canada will
show an enormous growth in the
amount of food )'o(ucts whieh she will
have to sell for export. What was but

Prof. Holden's New Idea About
How to Plan Corn.
SORT SEED CORN BY HAND
If Adopted He Estimates That It Will
- Add .480,000,000 .Bushels to the
Crop of the Corn Belt-And it
Would Require Only a Few Win.
ter Evenings' Work.
"Let every farmer In the seven
great corn States give a few winter
evenings and 480,(X)00,00 bushels will
be added to the annual crop of thie
corn belt."
In these wordi Prof. P. G. Holden
of the Ames Agricultural College sum
marizes the results to be expected of
the campaign instituted by himself
and the lowa Corn Growers' Associa
tion.
It isn't increased acreage that Prof.
Holden wants; it Is better results
from the present acreage. It is not by
any artificial culture that he would
bring about these results. le prom
ises that they shpl be realized if the
farmer does the simple thing of put
ting a hundred live kernels of corn in
every thirty hills.
Entirely new in agriculture is the
experimental work of Prof. Holden,
and throughout Iowa he has convinced
meetings of farmers that for once a
professor in an agricultural college has
a reform that is thoroughly practical.
In a word, his plan requires only the
sorting by hand of seed corn and the
filling of plates in corn planters in
such a way as to drop the required
iinber of grains of corn in each hill.
To find how much the farmers of
Iowa are losing each year by not prop
erly planting corn, Prof. Holden last
year sent 1,00) letters to all parts of
Iowa asking the number of stalks in
each hill in corn fields. Ile found that
the stand was but 75) per cent. of what
he has demonstrated will produce the
largest yield, and last year's corn crop
was generally considered a good stand.
The other day he himself inspected
twenty-four of the best corn fields he
could find.
"I found," he reported to a imeeting
of the Iowa Corn Growers' Association
in Sioux City, "from 3. to 86;.2 per
cent. of a perfect stand. The average
loss was 28.7 per cent.
"I do not mean by this that the field
that has live stalks in each hill is bet
ter than one with four and that hills
of six stalks are better than hills of
five. I have found that the best re
'cults are obtainued from an average
of about three and a third stalks to a
hill.
"T have found one stalk in a l1ll
will produce but one-third as much
corn as a proper number of stalks,
two stalks three-fourths of a yield and
five stalks three-fourths of a yield. In
making my tables I counted either
three or four stalks a 100 per cent.
stand.
'For ten years the average yield of
corn in Iowa has been approximately
35 bushels. A yield of thirty-live bush
els with a 70 per cent. stand. which is
the average found in a number of
years, wvould become lif ty buahels with
a 10t) per cent, stand." -4
The acreage planted in cornu in the
seveun States growing over 100.000,000
bushuels of corn in 1902 was: Illinois,
0,023,.180; Iowva, h.3()2.O88; Nebraska,
7,81 7,th;2; Kansas. 7,-is51.093; MissourI,
0,775,198; Indiana, 4,520,937; Ohio, 3,
'200,224.
The combined acreage was about 48,
000,000. A ,,ainu of ten bushels an acre,
or a 90 per cent. stand, wvhich Prof.
liolden thinks is easily attainable,
would mean an increase in the annual
yield of these States of 480,000,000
bushels.
On the big lFunk farm at Blooming
ton, Ill., Prof. ilolden's theory was
carried out last year. Several thou
sand acres wvere planted with seed
sorted b~y hand, through planters ad
justedi to dr'op the proper number of
kernels.
Previously, the best yield was 58
1)ushela an acre. Last year the aver
age was 72 bushels. Of the gain, Pruof.
Hlolden estimates 80 per cent, was due
to the standl andl 21)01e cent. to the
excellent germinating powver of the
seed. In the experimental fields under
Pr'of. Iloldon's control the yield has
nevep 1)een less than 410 bushels sincq
1890.
The ownuer of 4,000 acres of corn
ground at Oldebolt, Ia., this spring
bought six cora planters and put thuenj
to work hurriiedly. ie has examined
his field and found a stand of 13 1.4
stalks to each lull. H~e estimates his

"All right," answered Prof. Holden.

The Humbert Trial.
All France has beei agog for the
past three weeks over a crIminal trial
whichl in Its demand upon public inter
est almost rivaled the Dreyfus court
martial, of which it was remni)iscent in
that the chief counsel for the defense
was N1. Maltre Labori, who defended
the unhaippy prisoner of 1evil's isle be
fore the military court at Iennes. It
was the trial of the notorious I lumbert
family, which by tales of a va.t inher
Itance from a mythical inillionaire, tied
up by litigation with other heirs, the
mysterious Crawford brothers, gulled
French banks and financiers out of
$10,00.000. Not content with this, the
Humberts added the bourgeoisie to
their victims by promoting the com
pany known as the Rente Vingere.
For years "La Grande Therese," as
Mine. Humbert is known in Paris,
moved in the highest society, entertain
ing royally in her luxurious apart
ments, while her husband waas saving
his country as a member of the cham
ber of deputies. Sho numbered among
her friends some of the most prominent
oilcials of the French government.
With the inevitable collapse, when
bankers would lend no more and the
mysterious millions of the Crawfords
were not forthcoming, the Ilumberts
fled to Midrid, and the cry sent up by
the poor stockholders of the Rente Via
gere ascended to the throne of French
justice.
That cry received little hearing at
first, and it was openly charged that
the delay in having the fugitive pro
moters apprehended and returned to
Paris for trial was due to complicity in
their schemes of those who sat iII the
seats of the mighty, especially the
French ambassador to Spain. The trial
came at last, attended by audiences
more brilliant than those at the fetes
of Longchamps. and all Labori's elo
quence, the friendship of lofty person
ages and Mie. liIun bert's incoherent
revelations of the alleged Crawford's
identity with the traitor Regnier, who
bought for Prussia Bazaine's surren
der of Metz in return for the millions
which lie left to Mine. Humbert and
which she would not touch when she
learned their source, haive not availed
to save her and lier family from sen
tences of live years iII prisont.
Such a stupendous financial conspira
cy as that planned by Mie. Therese Is
beyond the wildest* dreams of the
"king of American bunko steerers,"
and Its success must be attributed to oi
ther childlike truistfultns or gullibility
verging on to idiocy on the part of the
French people.
The Mainspring of Life.
Political economists have told us that
self interest is the mainspring of indus
try. It is not true, writes Dr. Lyman
Abbott in the current issue of the At
lantie Monthly. Love is the main
spring of industry. It is lovo for the
home and the wife and the children
that keeps aill the busy wheels of in
dustry revolving, that enlis the factory
hands early to tile mill, that aierves
the arm of' the blacksmith wor-king i
his forge, that inispires the farimer alt
his plow and the merchant at his desk,
that gives courage to the soldier and
platlence to the teacher. Erskinae was
asked how lie dared, as an uniknowna
barrister, facei a hiostile court anmd in
sist on his right to be heard. "I felt
niy children," lie r'eplied1, "tugging at
my robe and saying, 'Hlere is your
chanic, father, to get us breadl.' " It
is this visioni of the childrena depenidenmt
oin us that inspires us all ini the battle
of life.
IWhether we cultivate a farm, or oper
ate a factory, or manage sa store, or
build and coniduct a railroad, 01r paint
pictures, or write books, or preach ser
mons, or enact and enforce laws-what
ever we do, the end of our activity is
the nurture and training of children in
tis primary school, which we call life.
in preparation for some life, we know
niot what, hereafter.
