16 THE 3IORXIXG OREOXIAX, SATURDAY, DECE3IBER 18, 1909. L EXHAUST ON IS EMPTY SCARE Secretary Wilson Issues Re port Showing Fertility Is Inexhaustible. MATTER IS DEEPLY PROBED European Farming Records of Past Centuries Are Searched, and Xo Sign of Loss of Plant-Foods Is Found Anywhere. WASHINGTON", Dec. 17. (Special.) In speaking of the great question of soil fertility, which is occupying the minds of agriculturalists all over the country, and the attention of the people as to whether the Americal soils are con tinually wearing out, as some authorities say and as the soil experts of the United States Bureau of Soils contend to the contrary Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson, In his annual report deals with t ie subject as follows: "A great and fundamental, problem which has confronted our people, as it has the people of the world, is the ques tion, of the permanency of soil fertility. Of late years, particularly, the idea has prevailed that the soils of various parts of the United States are wearing out through loss of mineral plant-food, and that a serious condition Is thus presented for the future of our people. So im portant and fundamental is this problem for the welfare of our people that I di rected a thorough examination to be made of the whole subjec. and an exhaustive report has been issued, from which cer tain important conclusions can be given In a few words. No Kvidence of Failure. "It has been found from the records kept by our own department that, on the average, crop yields per acre have shown a decided tendency to increase during a period of 40 years, and that there is no evidence of general decrease over large areas or In any particular state, as is popularly supposed. This indicates, un doubtedly, that on the average our peo ylo are farming more intelligently and therefore more successfully, and that we are, through these more Intelligent methods, winning gradually larger return from the soil. "It has been held, however, by some writers that even if the yields are In creasing, the element of danger is that the larger crops remove larger amounts of plant-food from the soils, and bring nearer the time when the soils will even tually wear out. To meet this argument It has been necessary to extend the in vestigations Into older countries and the records of liurope have been searched for information in regard to the past history of these older countries, which can be taken as a safe guide for the future of the newer soils of the United States. Actual Increase Shown. These records indicate that in the mid dle of the 16th century, or, roughly speak in. 300 to 400 years ago, the soils of Ventral and Northern Kurope were pro ducing on the average about as much wheat per acre as the soils of the United States are producing at the present time. These European soils have been occupied for agricultaural purposes for at least a thousand years, during most of which period the country was more densely pop ulated than the United States is at the present time. So far as records are ob tainable, they indicate that as a result of Increasing population and more inten sive and more intelligent methods of soil control, and in spite of their longer occu pation, tho average yield per acre has Increased, until in the case of Northern Kurope, tho soils are now producing about two or two and one-half times as much per acre as the newer soils of the United States are producing. "In addition to this evidence of actual crop yields per acre, an ex haustive Investigation has been made of all the chemical analyses which have been made of soils for the last 18 rears in certain countries of Northern Kurope In which crop yields have been increasing, and likewise of the soils of the United States, including the older soils of the Kastern states and the newer soils or the Western states. "The results of these analyses, pub lished side by side, show no signifi cant difference in chemical composi tion between the -.lder soils of Kurope and the newer soils of the United States. Character Remains Same. "Microscopical examinations of the Boils fail to show that the longer occu pation of the soils of Kurope has changed noticeably the mineralogical character of the soils. Jt is reason able to infer from the work that has been done that within historic times the occupation of the soils for agri cultural purposes has failed to no ticeably change the mineral character of the soil material upon which the future life of the nation must ulti mately depend. The reasons for this and the laws of nature which permit the soil thus to be continuously occu pied and used for manRind as freely as the air are complicated and diffi cult to understand, and offer a profit able field of research for our agri cultural colleges and experiment sta t ions. "While this satisfactory .solution of this main question is hopeVul for the nation, nevertheless individual farm ers fail, and individual farms run down through neglect, lack of Intelligent cultivation, and lack of knowledge as to soil adaptations and methods of control. So far as can be observed at the present time, cases of failure on the farm are due to individual -neglect or misjudgment. Such injury as has resulted to the soli in such cases may be remedied by change of owner ship, or by more intelligent methods if control, and is therefore not funda mentally due to the soil itself, but to the people who have worked the soil. This is a condition which can be im proved either through force of neces sity, as It has been in the case of Europe in the past, with increasing population and greater necessities, or through education and force of Intel lect, utilising the advance knowledge which now prevails alike in Europe and America. Many Soli Types Here. "The first lesson that our people must learn one which is taught by the operations of the soil survey Is that we have a great variety of soil types tTOO different types of soil bav ins already .been encountered in the area that has been surveyed, and each n of these soli types has its own pe culiarities. Its own characteristics, and Its own peculiar adaptation to crops, rotation schemes and methods of soil control. This is the great fundamental fact which our farmers must under stand. Tho first step In agricultural development is the knowledge of the particular soil characteristic of the farm. "The idea has prevailed in the past that through the use of commercial fertilizers and intelligent control all soils can be made to produce at will any crop that it is desired to grow. From a scientific standpoint this may be possible, but it cannot be done at a profit. There are soils that cannot be adapted commercially to wheat pro duction, there are soils that cannot be adapted commercially to fruit culture, and there are soils that cannot be adapted commercially to any of our staple crops, and should remain as forest soils. The highest development of agricultural production will result from the adaptation of each type of soil to a particular line of crops, bear ing at all times the market require ments and the transportation facilities." BORAH'S BILL UP AGAIN IDAHOAX TO PERSIST IX WAR 'OX CORPORATIOX LAWYERS. Would Bar All Congressmen. Who Accept Retaining Fees From Big Concerns Iuring Term. OREGON I AN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, rec. IT. Senator Borah is back In the field with his bill prohibiting Sen ators and Representatives from accepting compensation as counsel for corporations engaged in interstate commerce, as well as in legal cases in which the United States is interested. This bill was first Introduced in January last, towards the close of the Sixtieth Congress, and cre ated something of a sensation because of the effect it would have on a number of leading members of both branches of Con gress who derive Wieir principal income from corporations for which they act as attorneys. Senator Borah has little expectation that his bill will receive serious consideration this session any more than it did in the last Congress, but he believes the under lying principle Is a good one, and It will appeal to the people when its purpose and effect are thoroughly understood. Hd is re introducing the bill In order to keep the subject before the people, hopeful that a campaign of education, though it may cover a .period of years, will have benefi cial results. He expects in time to see some such law enacted, notwithstanding powerful Influences in Congress will be ar rayed against It. The bill as reintroduced by Senator Borah provides "That no Senator, or Representative or Delegate, after his election and during his continuance in office, shall receive or agree to receive any compensation what soever, directly or indirectly, for any services rendered or to be rendered to any person, corporation, or association, either by himself or another. In relation to any proceeding, contract, claim, controversy, charge, accusation or arrest, or other mat ter or thing In which the United States as a party is directly or indirectly inter ested, before any court whatever. "Sec. 2. That no Senator, Representa tive or Delegate, after his election and during his continuance in office, shall act as attorney or counsel for any person, corporation or association engaged in commerce to which the regulative power of Congress extends under the Constitu tion of the United States. "Sec. 3. That every person offending against these sections shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall be im prisoned not more than two years and fined not more than $10,000. and shall, moreover, upon conviction thereof, be ren dered forever thereafter incapable of hold ing any office of honor, trust or profit un der the Government of the U'nited States." Senator Borah maintains that no Sena tor or Representative retained as counsel for a corporation coming under the juris diction of Congress can pass unbiased judgment on legislation affecting his cli ents. HILL GIVES $5 TO CAUSE RAILROAD MAGXATE DOXATES TO RED CROSS CHAR IT V. I Don't Want Stamps, but I Do Wish to Show My Sympathy for Your Cause,-' Says Financier. James J. Hill donated JS to the Red Cross stamp fund yesterday afternoon at the Portland Hotel. The railroad mag nate was spied yesterday morning by Mrs. I. Koshland and" asked to purchase stamp?. At that time he was leaving the hotel in a great hurry but promised to return. He did so in the afternoon, and produced a shining J5 gold piece. "I don't want the stamps." he said, "but I do want to show my sympathy with your cause." Alice Lloyd, the merry little English songstress wh. has, become a popular figure on the American stage, and is ap pearing at the Orpheum here, will sell Red Cross stamps at the Port land Hotel today from 12 to 1 o'clock. Her winsome manner and her great popu larity are expected to effect a record sale of the stamps. From a woman's club at Hood River came an order yesterday for 10.000 stamps. An order for 10.000 stamps to be sent to Vancouver. Wash., was also received yes terday. From the Knights of the Macca bees the nurses received a substantial check for stamps that the fraterniay has purchased. It is believed the 3000 postals to be put on sale here will arrive today from the National Red Cross. If they come, they will be distributed at once to the 14 sta tions In the city where the stamps are being sold. The original supply of these postal cards went so rapidly it was soon exhausted, and this additional order had to be placed to meet the great demand. The Visiting Nurse Association is greatly encouraged over the prospect of the sales of Christmas stamps reaching the 1.000.000 mark set by the ambitious workers against the spread of tuberculosis. POLICE TO STOP DROWNING Frfjrhtened Mother Would Save Son From Older Boys. Because two boys have threatened to drown her 9-year-old son, Mrs. M. Pills bury. 10S4 Vancouver avenue, has ap pealed to the police for aid. I.Hst night Mrs. Plllsbury states her little son was set upon by the duo in question and beaten. A little girl, who witnessed the affair, hurried to his mother and gave the alarm. She Interfered at a Juncture When one of the boy"s assail ants remarked they "would drown the boy." The police have the names of the boys and will Investigate the case. The greatest danger from influenza is of its resulting in pneumonia. This can be obviated by using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, as it not. only cures in fluenza, but counteracts anv tendency of the disease towards pneumonia.

The intention is to select the one which will come nearest to determining accurately the amount of snowfall on the level. Snow has been one of the most difficult problems with which the Weather Department has' had to deal. It is light and wind exerts a wonderful in fluence. Heretofore it has been almost impossible to compute the snow fall at stated levels. Mr. Beals reports the storm stations in fine shape and with one or two minor recommendations will make no changes in the equipment or service. Repairs will be necessary to nearly all the river gauges on the Snake. Columbia and Wil lamette Rivers. Three new ones will be installed. The flood of November carried out the gauges at Riparia and Bonners Ferry on the Snake and at The Dalles, on the Columbia. One of the most Important acts of Mr. Beals during the tour of inspection was to secure from the Western Union offi cials a positive assertion that the lines between Port Angeles and Port Crescent would- be rebuilt. With a new telegraph line established between Port Angeles and Port Crescent, the Government will be able to communicate with Tatoosh Island at all times and the advantage to shipping will be great. The Govern ment owns the line from the Tatoosh light station to Port Crescent. From the latter place the Postal and Western I'nion have handled the messages. Dur ing the stormy season the lines are down part of the time and the service is had south and east of Port Crescent. Forecasts will hereafter be issued from the local ofice instead of from San Fran cisco. Observer Willson, who relieved Mr. Beals, was ordered back to San Fran cisco a week ago and pending the ar rival of Mr. Beals the forecasts were made at the California city. RAINIER TO FINISH LOADING Kelburn Coming to Portland to Take Lumber Cargo. ASTORIA, Or., Dec. 17. (Special.) The steam schooner Rainier, with a partial cargo of lumber for San Francisco, has arrived down the river and gone to Knappton to finish loading. .The barkentine J. M. Griffiths left up the river today to load lumber. The British bark Kelburn, which ar riveda few days ago from Santa Rosa lia, received orders today to proceed to Portland, to load lumber for the United Kingdom for orders. She will leave up as soon as a towboat can be secured. The lighthouse tender Columbine went outside this morning and delivered 20 tons of coal, as well as other supplies, to the Columbia River lightship. The current number of the Army and Navy Journal says that Captain Godfrey S. Carden, who during the past few years has been on speciaj service for the treas ury department in Europe, has been as signed to the command of the revenue cutter Manning, but when he will arrive to take charge of the craft is not known. The pilot schooner- Joseph Pulitzer, which has been inside for a few cays for water and supplies, left this after noon for her station off the mouth of the river, with Pilots Staples and Har riman on board. PASSENGER TRAFFIC HEAVY Rose City Sails for San Francisco With Big List. , With 372 passengers and a large cargo of general merchandise the steamship Rose City, Captain Mason, sailed yesterday afternoon for San F'ranclsoo. Christmas trees for the San Francisco people formed a part of the cargo, over 1000 of the firs for holiday decoration having been sent south. The steamship Santa Clara of the North Pacific Steamship Company sailed at S o'clock. She carried 55 cabin passengers and a full cargo of freight. John Drlscoll Is Convalescing.

With the steam tug Triumph in tow, the Samson Is due to arrive in the local harbor this morning. The Tri umph was recently purchased by the Columbia Contract Company for ser vice as a tow boat in the Columbia and Willamette rivers. She was for merly in con.Vsion on the Coquille r 1 River and was delivered at Marsh field. The " Samson went south from Astoria for the purpose of towing her to Portland. ISOAT, OUT OF PORTUXD, LOST Steamer Vtpard, AYitl, Cargo of Wheat, Goes Down In Straits. SAX FRANCISCO. Dec. IT. A cable received today by the Merchants Ex change reports that the steamer Ut eard, bound from Portland to St. Vin cent with a cargo pt - wheat, went ashore on a high spring tide at Boga Point. near Punta Arenas. Straits of Magellan. At first it was thought that the vessel might be saved, but a later dispatch says the steamer, which is of steel construction, has broken In two and will be a total loss. In practically the same locality the German steamship Wangard, . belonging to the same owners, was wrecked last January. She was a total loss, and none of the grain cargo, which had been dispatched by Kerr, Gifford & Co., was saved. The TVangard loaded at Tacoma, clearing from there for St. Vincent December 1. 1908. Where these big steamers of. the same line were wrecked is considered the most dangerous point in the Straits of Magel lan. It is near the Atlantic Ocean and several other vessels have piled up there at different times. With 220,826 bushels of wheat, .valued at $209,784, the German steamship ITt gard cleared from Portland for St. Vin cent, for orders. October 29. Two days later she crossed out from the Columbia River and began the long voyage to Eu rope. The cargo was dispatched by Balfour, Guthrie & Co. The ITtgarH is the sec ond of the vessels of the firm to be lost this year. The British bark Matter horn, which foundered off the Columbia River, No vember 27, had a full cargo of barley dispatched by Balfour,-- Guthrie & Co.

SCALP ITCHED AND BURNED FOR YEARS Child of Four Would Scratch Her Head for Hours When Fifteen It Got Worse Hair Came Off in Spots Hundreds of Dollars Spent in Vain Cuticura Soothed Like Cold Water on a Burn and CUTICURA REMEDIES CURED HER AT LAST " When I was four rears old a humor came out on my scalp. It would make a thick scab in one night, itching and burning terribly. My father spent many hundreds of dollars trying to find a doctor who could cure this humor, but none of them could ever help it even a little bit. At the age of fifteen years I had the measles, and after that the sore became maturated and I had to soak my hair out before roould comb it. My hair came ofT in spots and my head was in a bad shape. "About this time a friend of my father suggested he try Cuticura for me. My father took this advice and bought the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Resolvent. I use them faithfully and to my surprise they stopped the itching at once, like cold water to a burn. In a week my head was clean from the scab but was very red and inflamed, but I had experienced more relief from the terrible itching and burning than ever before. I did not ex pect to be cured, as I thought that noth ing could do that, but I had to use some thing all the time and Cuticura was cheaper than doctors. "After some time, to my surprise, I awoke to the fact that my head was cured. It was as free from the disease as though I had never suffered. I am now forty-two and have never had any sign of my old trouble since I was cured. I owe health, happiness and life to .Cuticura. Every one thought it was in curable. I used to dream sometimes that I was cured but thought it never could be, but Cuticura made the dream come true. Fancy a child sitting up in. bed until ten or eleven o'clock scratch ing her head I I couldn't help it either, ' the itching was so terrible, night and day. It is a wonder I lived through it, but I can prove all I have written by my old neighbors. Mrs. Florence E. Ames Getchell, Box 603, Hallowell, Me., Feb. 9 and 13, 1909."
