CHOP llOTATIOX SEEPRD.
Soils of Hie Rogue River valley are famous for their
fertility. Almost anything can lie grown with the proper
attention, and because this is the case, farmers do not farm
scientifically and are fas! robbing the land of its strength.
Year after year, for 120 and even :!0 years, the same
crop has been grown on the same ground. There has been
no attempt at rotation of crops, no effort made to keep
the soil from exhaustion, and season after season the earth
grows poorer, robbed of the elements tint make it a profit
producer.
There are fields that have grown corn for ten consecu
tive years. There is land that for still longer has never
failed to yield a good return in wheat. There are thou
sands of acres that for a score of years have produced
from three to five cuttings of alfalfa, though the yield per
acre is yearly lessening perceptibly.
Because of its wonderful fertility, farmers seem to
think Rogue River valley land cannot Tie injured by this
crop exhaustion. It, can be, and is being, and if kept up,
the land will eventually I me as barren as the abandoned
farms of the east, which have been allowed to go back to
brush and forest because farming was no longer profitable
upon an exhausted land.
In horticulture, this section leads the world. No region
can show such commercial orchards so scientifically cared
for. But in agriculture, it is way in the rear, and unskilled
farming will soon make all farming unprofitable.
To conserve the strength of the soil, so that each year
it crows a more nrolitable
the lesson farmers must learn
keep their farms in an up -
yearly increase in value as
The federal circuit court's reversal of Judge Landis"
decision is a disappointment, though not a surprise. There
is no case on record where American courts ever materially
hurt, a criminal corporation engaged in robbing the people.
There is always some technicality that saves the wealthy
lawbreaker from the consequences of crime. It was hoped
that for once a trust was to be adequately punished, but
Rockefeller knew what, be was talking about when he said
the fine would never be paid.
The Grants Pass Observer takes exception to the state
ment, that the Golden Drift dam is the cause of the pool'
fishing iu the Rogue. The dam is the cause because Grants
Pass fishermen are allowed to string nets three-quarters
of the way across the stream on each side, just below the
dam, making it almost, impossible for fish to get by. An
other thing is that there is no attempt to enforce the
and fishing is carried on right at the base of the dam.
complaint regarding' poor fishing comes from those
have fished the stream for many years.

MAKING MATCHES NOW
A MAMMOTH INDUSTRY
WASHINGTON, July 23. Did you
over Ihiuk of the part the lowly match
plays in tint progress of tin' world Did
vou ever look upou ihe little phosphor
his stick us mi agent of civilization?
En rvwlicrc throughout the world i
flic ever-present match. That old myth
of savages starting fires by rubbing
wo sticks together is well nigh u lost
rt these days. Tuke down iu Brazil
for instance, Consul Genernl Anderson,
writing from ltio, declares that even In
lie almost inaccessible portions of the
interior, where the semi-civilized people
are deprived of everything iu the way
of civilized supplies, vet there are
mutches to light the iniquitous cigur-
te or kindle the cnmpxirc.
There are, of course, some peoples
yet iiiineijuuintcd with the match, but
(bey uro of the lowest stratum of civ
ilization. Glolie trotters have found
(lie match go hand in baud with the
t'irst evidence of civilization. Aud the
world's output of matches is i-l'ggering
n its enormous aggregate. Piouaands
i ml thousands of acres of forest go
lown before the axiiii-u each year to
be iiiiniifuctiired into malclicH. Iu sov-
rul countries match making (of the
wood kindling variety) is u govern
incut monopoly; a great many more uu
lions reap a gooillv revenue income
ach year from tuxes on their iniiuu
taetlire.
Just for example, Brazil's output of
mutches was 02,041,400 boxes iu l!Mi7,
i'ioiii which the government derived a
cveniie of $1,218,384 in taxes. That
lax alone amounts to over $1.50 for
aeh man, woman and child in the eouu-
irv.
