Washington. "The loss of thou-
snnds of finished American farmers
who are pouring into Canada every
year Is a serious after-effect of waste
ful exploitation and the failure to eon
serve this country's .natural resour
cs, especially the soil. The fertility
of our noil has been reduced below
the point of profitable production In
many of our communities, and people
Instead of remaining at home and
building up Impoverished farms, are
migrating In search of virgin land."
Pbu.sc of GoiiMervutioii.
This explanation of the Canadian
movement was made a few days ago
by'.W. J. Splllman, the expert on farm
management brought into the depavt
ent of agriculture by .Secretary Wil
son a little more than eight years ago
and now chief of an important branch
of the department which has done
mueh toward bridging the chasm be
tween science and practical farming.
Mr. Splilnian thinks that the stream
of migration which Is flowing over the
north rn borders should act as u
warning to the farmers of America
and show thcrn the need of restoring
and maintaining the productivity of
the soil. From his standpoint, this is
the most Important phase of the
whole conservation problem.
Some of the American emigrants
ar taking up the lands In Manitoba.
Alberta and Saskatchewan, where
tli ore is almost a stampede to estab
lish farms on the virgin soli, In the
belief that the fertility of the lan I
Is "Inexhaustible." Similar claim
were made a few years ago about the
prairies of the west and middle west.
Experience has proven, however, that
no Is inexhaustible unless cared
for under an approved system of farm
management.
Should Fertilize Store.
"This country has been prodigal
In the utilization of all Its natural re
sources, especially the soil, and we
ore now paying the penalty," said
Mr. Splllman a few days ago before
leaving Washington for a field trip.
"In many of our older communities
soil fertility Is greatly reduced. The
depreciation of the soil s due to prim
itive methods of farming means a re
duced capacity of the land, and an
Increase in the cost of food because
of low yields. Many of our farmers,
instead of staying at home and adopt
ing methods of renovating their worn
out soils, find it easier to sell the old
farm and pack up and move on.
"We are facing a new situation. N'u
longer does the Improvement of land
In the west meet the loss due to the
abandonment of older lands in the
east, combined with the increased de
mand for the products of the farm.
Thar 'lie :i 1:1 process of soil ex
haustion which caused the decrease of
agricultural population and abandon
ment of farms In the east Is now go.
Ing on In the west and middle west
is evidenced by the decreased yield"
per aTe on land which a decade or so
ago was considered the richest In the
country.
Must Stop Soil Abuse.
"There Is a solution to the problem
which confronts us. and I am confi
dent that the American farmer is ln-
dusirious and competent enough
to
worn it out on tne grounu. .oanien.
Ing or selling the farm to move to
Canada does not help matters in this
direction. Abuse of the soil must stop
The period of exploitive farming is
past. Single cropping and failure to
fertilize the land properly will con
tinue as the causes of the non-success
of some farmers, but not as many as
in the yesrs past.
"The pep acre yield of land must
be Increased by Improved farming
systems which will Include the rota
tion of crops, and the wise use of nat
ural and commercial fertilizers. In
tell'gent fanners now recognize the
importance of the effect of livestock
on the fertility of the soil. Clover,
peas, alfala and other leguminous
crops must be planted to restore nit
rogen to the soil and humus. Legu
minous crops have a wonderful effect
cn fertility. Corn planted after al
falfa In Kansas and Nebraska, com
pared with corn grown after non-lo-guminous
crops has shown an In
crease of 75 per cent, according to a
recent Investigation of the department
of agriculture. The yield of corn has
been increased 50 per cent or more
by sowing clover between crops.
Case lrovO! Theory.
' "Countless cuses might be cited 'o
show the results which are secured
by really scientific farming. I think
now of a farm in the middle west that
eight years ago was producing only
eight bushels of wheat and 25 bush
els of corn to the acre. The owner
of this farm was converted by a rep
resentative of the department to ho
use of improved methods of conser
ving and building up soil fertility, aul
at the present time, and depending
wholly upon the natural resources of
the farm, he Is getting 25 bushels .f
wheat and 50 to 0(1 bushels of corn
to the acre. Another instance is the
case of a farmer In N'ew York stale
who lived in a region where . potato
growing has been the source of farm
revenue for two or three generations.
Poor methods had been used and the
soil had run down until the yields
were not over 4 bushels of potatoes
to the acre, and these or a poor qual
ity. A representative of the office of
farm management Induced this farm
er to get good seed potatoes, enough
to plant four acres, and then showed
him how ti till them. The four acres
produced 250 bushels per aero of good
potatoes.
"We make a special po.nt of hunt
ing up farmers who have already ap
plied scientific methods to their
farming and then telling others about
their methods, because la doing til s
we know that our recommendations
are entirely practical. We find also
thnt farmers arc more ready to listen
to accounts of tile experience of an
other farmer than they are to sug
gestions which have not been tried.
"The situation is hopeful. The main
thing that Is needed Is a sufficient
number of teachers who do not only
j unden;tund the problems concerning
the farmer, but understand the proper
methods to pursue In building up the
soil. There is a nation-wide effort at
the present time, both by the govern
ment and by the states, directed to
ward the restoration of soil fertility.
Progress Is being made and the farm
ers In many parts of the country are
increasing their profits steadily
through the application of correct
farming methods to take the place of
the old system of mining the soil."
WRITER SAYS LONDON
IS FI LL OF YANKEES
London. Frederick Townsend Mar
tin, despite his round of social en
gagements, Is spending some hours
daily compiling reminiscences. He
has already written 50,000 words and
expects that his book will be ready
for the press this fall. He Is dealing
with American and European society
In an anecdotal, pleasant way and
while his book will be Interesting It
will not be offensive.
Mr. Martin has another book, on
"The Disgrace of Idleness," showing
that even In monarchial countries
there has been a continual growth In
the contempt felt for men who do
nothing, with the result thiU even in
the highest circles utilitarianism is
the keynote.
Mr. Martin, contrasting this pres
ent with previous seasons in London,
said:
"London Is filled with more Amrl.
cans than I have ever seen here be
fore. Every hotel is taxed to its ut
most capacity, yet it is astonishing
how few well-known' Americans are
nkout
I have wandered about the
various hotels and restaurants and
scarcely have seen a handful of. what
1 call the 'old guard.' It is the new
throng that is predominating, the peo
ple who have become prosperous and
who are coming to Europe for the
first time. They are spending money
freely and exude everywhere the spirit
of American prosperity. Above all,
it Is a contingent that makes me feel
proud of my country. They are well
dressed, quiet, unostentatious and
show the English that all the social
virtues of America are not contained
in the limited few whose names are
as familiar here as In tne United
States."

Boys will be glad to learn something
of the new organization known as the
B.y .Scouts. This started in South
Africa at the time of the siege of
Mafeking when the boys acted as
helpers to the worn out little army of
Englishmen defending themselves
from the Doers. The movement has
now spread to almost every part of
the English possessions and to the

In this little army boys learn how
to m, ike camp, how to handle a rifle,
what to do for a wounded comrade
and various other kinds of wood and
soldier craft.
