In this age of advancement in agri cultural science there is no excuse for soil depletion to further menace th nation's prosperity. - - Soil is. not a dead, Inert substance, as many suppose. It Is an active, virile force, full of energy and powor and the farmer should know bis soil if be would maintain its productiveness. ; Agriculture is rocogu!zed as the greatest of all industries and a pros perous, progressive ' and enlightened agricultural population is tbe surest iiaffgiinrc, of civilization.
