CONSERVATION OF
Kpech of the Seoretar of Agriculture at the Second National Con
servatioa Congre-w. st. Paul. Minn.
The most Important feature of farm
conservation Is the soil. The farmer
prospers while the soil responds to
his work and yields good crops; he
ceases to do well whea tke soil re
fuses to respond to kis labor.
The people of the older nations take
rare of soil fertility as a matter of
prime necessity and long age ascer
tained the proper succession of crops,
their relation to the soil and the feed
ing of man and animals. They knew
the soil must be fed and the proper
physical condition to maintain, and
learned from experience how to do It.
They learned that the decaying plant
returned to the soil with the best
food the growing plant could have.
They became aware that the removal
of crops from the farm resulted in
soil deterioration unless the equiva
lent was returned from some source.
Ancient history tells us that the le
gume was used in rotation before
Hellrlegel discovered Its office m Ttx
Ing nitrogen in the soil; the value of
bones was known as a fertiliser be
fore IJeblg gave us their analysis.
The office of sulphuric acid was
known in making superphosphate
through which the husbandman got
the immediate benefit of tke fertilis
ers In tke bones.
During the short histery sf our
country we have had new sells to
draw upon when exhaustion resulted
from the robbing process and much
f the nation's prosperity is the equiv
alent of what the soil has lost. Our
people have been well fed sad until
recently they have been cheaply fed.
Tkls has been due in part no doubt
to the occupancy of land easily ob
tainable as soon ss the elder refused
to yield abundantly and is one of the
prime causes of farm desertion that
la now attracting so much attentioa.
Manufactures Increased and pros
pered greatly during tke last kalf
century because food was cheaper ia
our country than in any one witk
which we competed. Food is cheap
no longer. Population has increased
faster than production from the soil.
A new soil gives, te all whs desired
was the basis of our past prosperity.
The soils of our older settlements
were robbed and neglected in the east
and ia the south; they had little or
n attention. Railways were pushed
into the Mississippi valley where the
glaciated soils were rich, so easily cul
tivated, and supposed to be iaexhaus
tlble. The government policy of giv
ing farms to the people has exhausted
the supply in the regions where rain
fall usually assures good crops. The
mountain ranges hold the snow and
some valley lands are being irrigated
which yield abundantly, but only a
small per cent of land west of the one
hundredth meridian is being irrigat
ed. So we have found our limita
tions. Bread and meat are so dear
that employers of labor are under the
necessity of increasing compensation
that people may live.
Since the civil war heavy exporta
tions from the farm have paid for
eign debts and kept the balance of
trade in our favor. Exportation
from the farm are steadily falling off,
both of meats and bread stuffs. We
grow more crops every year but not
enough to fed our increasing popula
tion and keep up our experts.
Irrigation.
The federal government is expend
ing large sums to irrigate mere land
which Is wise, but the amount of wa
ter Impounded Is small compared
with the volume that flows to waste.
In a recent visit to the mountain
states I saw that the most advanced
localities are every year making more
reservoirs to hold winter and spring
flows of waters that go free of man's
restraint to the ocean. The nation,'
the states and private enterprises have
ample fields In which to work toward
greater crop production in this direc
tion. The lands of the mountain state
are with little exception very rich
in plant food, and while water contin
ues to escape In such large quanti
ties it will pay to turn them on these
lands and reap the heavy crops that
certainly follow. After all the lands
are irrigated that can be, practically,
Immense areas remain that He above
gravity Irrigation. Efforts are being
made by the federal government, the
states, private companies and Indi
viduals to grow crops on the high
lying lands that have oihteen Inches
of annual rainfall and less.
' The department of agriculture In
obedience to congressional require
ment is exploring similar lands that
exist under simlar conditions
throughout the world. Some success
Is being had. A wheat from Africa
and Asia gives us 60,000.000 bushels
GOOD WAY TO TSE
HYOMEI FOR CATARRH
Besides breathing through the In
haler a few times a day, many ca
tarrh sufferers write that they find
Inhaling HTOMEI (pronounce it
Hy-o-mc) from a bowl of steaming
water each night before retiring a
great aid In curing stubborn cases.
Try it; It's simple; gives quick re
lief and makes you breathe easer.
Fill a bowl half full of boiling wa
ter; pour into the water a teaspoonful
of. HYOMEI, cover head and bowl
with a towel, and breathe through
tio? nnd mouth the pleasant, medi
cated, antiseptic and healing vapor
'hat arises. , ,
This method relieves that stuff ness
at once and makes your head feel
fin.
You ran get a bottle of HYOMEI at
Tullman'g and druggists everywhere,
for only B0 cents. Ask for extra bot
tle HYOMEI lnhalent.
But bear In mind that a HYOMEI
outfit which Includes Inhaler and bot
tle of HYOMEI costs $1.
HYOMEI Is guaranteed by Tall
man & Co and druggists everywhen
to cure catarrh, sore throat, coughs,
colds, asthma and croup, or money
back. Try It on that generous basis.
SOIL FERTILITY
a year from the high lying light
rainfall states; a grass and alfalfa
from Turkestan, alfalfas, clovers and
vetches from Siberia, oats from north
ern Sweden, millets from fh orient,
sorghum from Africa, are samples of
what are being found by our 'explor
ers that thrive on our highlands of
the west.
At thirteen stations in seven states
we have parties of scientists studying
methods of plant management on our
dry lands. If our growth In popula-
tlon is to continue we must look to
the soil and conserve moisture which
's t'ie transportation system of the
plant. Without adding water beyond
what falls from the clouds it Is prac
tical to greatly Increase crop fields
by better management and adding
fertilizing material that we may per
mit to go to foreign countries. We
furnish nitrogenous mill feeds to
thrifty foreigners who know their val
ue to feed their cattle to make meats
and dairy products and keep up the
fertility of their soils. These should
be fed on the farms that grow the
craln from which they are made. New
lands are not to be had for the asking
In the thirty inch rainfall districts of
the country. If we are to prosper as
a people we must give close attention
to our soils and conserve their fer-
tility by all the means In our power.
Our lighter soils are affected by
droughts that extend over period
during the growing season so long
that maximum crops are not secur-
ed. We will In time find It necessary
to follow the example set by European
countries of dense population, . of
building reservoirs to Impound over
flow water to be used during times
of drought. These reservoirs are built
from the sources of their river on
down toward their mouths. We can
do this with geat profit In some of our
states now.
The office of water In growing
plants Is comprehended when
realize that from three hundred to
five hundred pounds of water are re
quired by the plant to enable It t
make one pound of dry matter and
that a shock of corn standing In the
field for weeks after It is cut ha
from twenty-five to forty per cent of
moisture.
Increasing the Crops.
Something is being done to increase
the volume of our crops In all sec
tons of our country. The cattle fever
tick of the south has prevented the
profitable production of beef in that
section of our country. Congress has
provided for the extermination of the
pest, which Is being done; 140.000
square miles is now free from It. This
will bring into . active production
within a few years all of the southern
states, pastures will be prepared, the
prime element In a system of rotation
of crops, cotton seed meal will be fed
where It Is produced and southern
fields will become more productive
helping to feed our growing popula
tlon, while more cotton will be grown
on fewer acres.
The advent of the cotton boll wee
vill called for prompt federal action
to help southern farmers to deal
with this Invasion from Central Am
erica. Scientists were called .upon to
make research, and conduct demon
stration of well known methods, on
many thousand farms. One of the
most Interesting was the growing of
an acre of corn by each of 12.500
boys under 18 year of age. The re
sult was very gratifying, over 160
bushels were grown on an acre by
some of the boys. The southern states
grew the largest corn crop In its his
tory. Upon this foundation teps
were promptly taken to breed hogs
extensively so that the people might
produce their meats.
This work is done by direction of
good southern farmers selected by
agents of the department of agri
culture. There are many excellent
farmers In the southern states who
only need organizing to bring that
section to the front as a producing
unit of all farm crops. This may be
said of all localities and of all of our
states, each has a large minority of
good farmers, and In the development
of any state along agricultural lines,
something Imperatively necessary, the
practical farmers of the state are the
right men to organize for Its pro
gress. The grazing lands of the public do
main are being steadily reduced to
unproductiveness by over stocking
which results In reduced production
of meats and animal products. While
public lands are held for the home
steader It is difficult to suggest a rem
edy that would not interfere with the
policy of ultimate settlement by the
homeseeker. The tendency of con
press to give larger areas to the set
tler seems to be In the right direc
tion. Conservation of Farm Boys.
The most important farm conser
vation Is undoubtedly the preparation
of farm youth for better farm man
agement. We have Inherited our sys
pm of education that looked to the
farm for the best material to rein
force the professions and the Indus
tries. Education has, therefore, pre
pared young people for everything I
but farm life. The American con- i
gress saw this half a century ago and j
provided for agricultural colleges In 1
a!l the states; these colleges nave j
grown, and are preparing teachers", a i
hopeful task, In the nature of thisgs. ;
It is difficult to change or materially ,
modify the education of a people. In- '
t rv.ovr n with thr history, their n- j
dustrles, their literature, their trn- j
d t ions and religion. It Is being done, i
however. In our country. Research j
in accumulating facts along the life
lines of our people. The people read
kthe publications treating field and
forest, the soil and Its crops, the ani
mal and its well being.
Irrigation and dry land farming,
new bread and fodder plants, the
growing of sugar beets last year to
make our 600,000 tons Of sugar, the
prospect of using the carbon dioxyde
of our atmosphere to make all our
sweetening, the development of rice
on the gulf coast to equal our con-
umptloa, tk study of tobaccos of
home growth to save the - nation'
money, the exploration of . the old
world for plants to increase the food
of the people and add to Its variety;
these and a thousand other activities
that affect agriculture the people
ad about and approve.
Twenty million pieces of literature
relating to the farm were sent out
from the department of agriculture
during the last fiscal year. The state
agricultural colleges all contribute to
the volume of printed matter relat
ing to the farm.
There are well known methods of
farm management practiced by our
beat farmer that brings good results
and well knows methods aad prac
tices that reduce fertility and render
operations on the farm unprofitable.
The domestio animal has been asso
ciated with profitable farming from
the earliest times of which we have
authentio records. The pasture on
which the animal grazes Is the best
known method of restoring the ne
cessary physical condition that is im
paired by cultivation, as well as the
source of the cheapest production.
When the farmer desires a heavy
crop of any kind he plows up a pas
ture and seeds down another. Con
tinual cultivation and use of commer
cial fertilizers without systems of ro
tation or domeste animals is advised
by some latter day venturers in ag
riculture but the results are not per
manently good and where this meth
od ha had long .trial It has brought
disappointment notably in the cotton
growing states.
If our country is to grow and devel
op as patriotic people hope, we must
conserve the fertility of our soils.
and the moisture that is precipitated
net only oa eur farms but that which
falls upon the highlands and now
flows idly to the seas ia all sections
of our country.

A NOYEL STORE.
Itrmere Colon Opens Headquarters

Spekane. Wash. Farmer' Educa
tional and Cooperative Union at Med
ical Lake, Wash., has formed a con
sumers' company, bought a general
store, fully stocked with groceries and
provisions and farm implements and
supplied each of its 100 members with
a key to the establishment, the doors
of which are not open to the general
pubtlo. There are no clerks, cashiers
and storekepers; no goods are dis
played in the windows, neither are
there any handbills and catchy adver
tisements to tempt the housewife. The
store Is an experiment to reduce the
cost of living. Officers of the organ
ization believe with Tolstoi that It is
as natural for a normal man to be
honest as it is for a babe to breathe,
and it is purposed to demonstrate the
truth of the theory by giving each
member access to the stock of un

home of the bride's parents at Ellens
burg, Wash., a week ago, but the se

the members of the club or his neigh
bors had the least Inkling until the
couple appeared on the scene. Hunt
and his bride met four year ago,
when they were students at the State
of Washington college, Pullman.
When Hunt organised the club In
the Blue mountain district, south of
here, a year ago, with a view to mak
ing It a national affair, it was an
