CROP ROTATION Must be Carried Out Sooner or Later- Soil Will Lose Out. R. B. Miller, general freight agent for the 0. R. & N. with head offices in Portland, went far recently in corroborating the statement of J. J. Hill that under existing conditions in five years there will be little wheat to ex port from Washington and Ore gon. "I do not agree with Mr. Hill in all of his ideas," said Mr. Miller, "I have given the grain growing question of the North west as much attention as any man, I suppose. Throughout the country served by our line there are 2,000,000 acres of wheat land, 1,000,000 of which is summer fallowed every year, cutting down the wheat raising area 60 per cent All the land in the In land Empire now served by the railroads is under cultivation. At the present rate of increase in the population there will be 2000,000 people additional in Or egon and Washington in 10 years. Estimating their consumption of wheat at six bushels each, it will require 12,000,000 bushels more a year than is now raised. Tak ing into consideration the increas ed population and the increased production which will result from opening of new land, I think there will still be a large expor tation of wheat But the meth ods must be changed. It is in an effort to show the farmers the force of this that we are run ning demonstration trains, are establishing experiment stations as is now proposed. If something is not done these two states will shortly fii.d themselves in the same condition as California, which was once a great wheat raising state, but now is largely dependent on Oregon and Wash ington for its grain. We are trying to get the farmers to alter nate their crops instead of sum mer fallowing. This will not only keep all the land under cul tivation continuously, but will put back into the soil, if proper crops are used, the elements taken out by the wheat "The Red River valley of Minn esota and Dakota was a few years ago the greatest wheat-raising district in the world. Today the Red River valley is raising 15 bushels to the acre against three times that amount formerly. In Eng land and Greece and other Euro pean countries wheat has been raised for hundreds of years, and yet their yield is thirty-five bush els an acre and upwards, due to intelligent rotation of crops. The Palouse land is deteriorating as the Red River valley and Cal ifornia wheat belts did, on ac count of lack of foresight "If we can induce rotation of crops the land will at once im prove, and will yield a contin uous income. - With rotation it can not be farmed in such large tracts and an increase in popu lation is bound to take place. Now, all this leads up to the question, 'Will there be any ex portation of wheat in six years from now ?' I think there will be for the people are beginning to learn the value of improved meth ods of agriculture which will lead to increased production." W. 0. W. Eleotlon.

Why did they hire a buggy to ride into Arlington and then drive over a precipice, smash the ve hide, abrase their shins, and get muddy and dirty and hungry?
