Cyril G. Hopkins of tho University

throughout tho agricultural lands
of tho United States, In tho West as
woll ns tho East. Ho strongly urged
cooperation to this end on tho part of
tho city people.
X)i. Hopkins made his plea beforo
tho Ninth Annual Convention of tho
Association of Llfo Insurance Pres
idents, which Is considering various
problems Involved In loaning llfo In
surnnco funds on farm mortgages.
At present nbout six hundred and
sixty million dollars of llfo lnsuranco
money is loaned on farms, princip
ally in tho South and West.
Drawn From Virginia Soli
" Tho most Important nnd tho
most neglected factor in American
ngriculturo Is that ot soil enrich
ment," said Dr. Hopkins. " For
three centuries the American farm
er luiB drawn tho Biipport of the na
tion from tho fertility contained In
our virgin soils, with widespread soil
depletion ns a result. When tho
land becomes too poor to ralso a
profitable crop by tho ordinary
means of soil stimulation, tho Am

allowed tho farm to go back to na
