but we have never believed this t haves I come to the front in genera ¬ thoIs tion who had humble beginnings as Lincoln the rail j splitter Grant the tanner Garj field the canalboat hand John ¬ son the tailor Elihu Burrittthe blacksmith or anyone of the long roll who pitched their j wagon to a star Apropos we have the news from St Joseph Mo that John F Breckinridge a sturdy blacksmith has rolled down his shirt sleeves over his brawny arms put on his collar and necktie and entered the race for the United States Senate John was acowboy in his young¬ er days then a horseshoer and he is now a son of Vulcan By the sparkle of his forge he seems to have dreamed and builded air castles which unlike most edifices of the kind seen11 very likely to come He heroic blacksmith too for some I ten years ago he saved five lives in a hmel fire and later he res- cued ¬ two men from drowning On the Whole John the Black ¬ smith would seem to have better stuff in him than some of the men who are merely

grain of corn could be added to each ear there would be enough reve- nue I thus derived to pay for all the agricultural colleges now in operation and that if no seed were planted without being tested

I generation a heritage of exper ¬ iences and broad acres which will produce not merely 12 to 14 bushels of wheat but from 32 to 35 bushels per acre Do you know that by scientific tillage Nebraskas Experiment Station has averaged over 60 bushels of wheat to the acre for the past four years That another field in Alberta by the I same method averaged 70 bush ¬ els of wheat per acre Another 46 bushels per acre and made yearI The other crop are ¬ ly as good and without irrigation That dry farming land has com- ¬ manded a price of 1000 an acre That irrigated land has sold as high as 3000 per
