Oorvullls, Nov. 2. (Editor of East
Oregonian.) I read with much inter
est your comment on my statement re
garding the Injurious effects of the
present system of growing cereals in
the semi-arid districts. In order to
explain more fully my position, kind
ly grant mo space In your paper.
It Is not in purpose to be ml alarm
ist, but simply to point out, according
to my Judgment, the serious errors of
popular husbandry. 1 am not yet a
convert to any system of farming that
will enrich the father and Impoverish
the son. .Neither do I believe that It
Is the highest type of citizenship that
disregards tho Inherent rights of pos
terity. To despoil u country for the selfish
lurpii.se of accumulating wealth Is
wrong In principle and dangerous in
practice. True agriculture means the
production of maximum crops with
the least Injury to the perpetuity of
the productivity of the Mill.
The doctrine of Inexhaustibility of
soils is simply nonsense. Thut old
thread-bare story of Scilly Is a myth.

the weathering of the mountain. Th
valley .of the Nile Is supposed to be
replenished by the sedimentary deposit
from the annual Inundations. But re
cent agricultural explorers declar
that the productivity of this valley is
not so much duv to this sedlmentaiy
deposit as It is to the growing of ber
seem, an annual clover.
As to the depth of soils, this mat lei s
but little with cereals whether it Is
1(1 feet or 1000 feet deep. Wlie.it
roots rarely go deeper than four r'eet.
It Is doubtful If- there is unother
section In the world that yields such
bounteous crops of wheat with so lit
tle moisture as does the Columbia
river basin. For example, the average
precipitation last year, as given by
the seven different points of observa
tion, was 12.47 Inches and this was .42
Inches more than normal. It ranged
from 7.74 Inches at Umatilla to 28.34
inches at Weston.
The problem confronting agricul
ture In this section Is not one of ex
haustion of the plant food In the soli,
for most of the wheat land Is phenom
enally rich in plant food. It. Is a
question of the physical condition of
the soil, or In other words, it. is the
question of the ability of the soil to
conserve the maximum amount of ca
pillary moisture. Thus it Is a problem
of moisture and not of soil fertility.
It Is a well established fact In agri
culture that soils which are well sup
plied with organic or vegetable mat
ter are capable of producing crops
with much less moisture than are soils
which are deficient In organic matter.
Thus the fundamental principle of
successful agriculture In chls section
Is the maintenance of organic matter
In the soil. Now as ta the relation of
the bare summer fallow to organic
matter, It is probably safe to say that
a first-class summer, fallow will oxl
iize. or in plain terns, burn up more
oreanlc matter than Is necessary to
produie four crops ofm bushels of
wheat per acre.
The nitrates as a result of the oxida
tion of the organic matter, do not
leach out of Uie soil In seml-arli dis
tricts as they do In humid sections,
hence there is no material loss of soil
fertility as a result of tho summer-fallow
In eastern Oregon.
The gicat injury to the potentiality
of the soil is the physical change due
to the gradual reduction of the or
ganic sujstance. There Is a slight re
plenishing by plowing the stubble and
weeds under, but in some sections the
farmers even burn the stubble. . In
fact, in a general sense, there Is prac
tically no attempt whatever on the
part of the farmer to keep up the
vegetable matter In the soil.
Organic matter In the soil performs
a distinctively three-fold function.- It
Is the source of supply of soli nitrogen,
tonserves molstute and holds the fine
particles of soil together, thus pre
vents drifting. Tho first evidences of
a lack of organic matter In the soils of
semi-arid districts are crop failures In
dry seasons and tho drifting of soils,
,k.u. inner fallowing In some sections
Is absolutely Indispensable In order to
conserve a portion of the moisture of
two seasons to Insure a crop of cereals.
AssoHalel with tho summer-fallow
should be some method to replenish
the organic matter In the soil. In
sections like Umatilla county this can
he done with alfalfa arrtl stock, but In
the more arid sections perhaps the
iorc reaslblo plan would be the grow
ing of a crop of peas every five or 10
years and plowing the vines under, cr
depastuie with stock. Whatever the
system adopiel there should at least
be some attempt make to keep up the
humus In the soil,
How long the present system can be
contlnuoJ without disastrous results Is
problematliul. In sections where the
annual prcii nation reaches 29 ln"lioj
or more It may take centuries, but In
districts which only receive from 8 to
12 Inches the crisis Is much nearer at
hand. The present Bystem, however,
if continued means inevitable ruin
sooner or later.
In the Judgment of tho writer this Is
by far tho most serious problem con
fronting tho agrleultu.u of this state.
There Is a vast area of .non-lrrlgablo
land In the soml-arld sections of this
Btate which, with correct systems of
agriculture, can be made to maintain
Indeilnituiy a large, prosperous popu
lation. It Is an economic problem

more churches are in co-operation
and more converts and baptisms are
