The Kural Spiiit says ot tbe waste of soil forces through tbe continuous growiug ot wheat upon tbe land: Whore prices ot Inrms sbouid rise by iucreaee ot population, in many places they are lailiug. between 1880 and 1900 the land values of Ohio shrank $60,000,000. Official investiga tion or two cooties in central new Vork disclosed a oondltion of agricul tural decay. lu one, land was for sale tor about tbo cost of improvements and 150 va cant bouses were counted in a limited area, lu the other tbe population in 1905 was nearly 4000 less than in 1855. Practically Ideutiosl soil conditions exist in Maryland and Virgiuia wuere lauds sell at from $10 to $:t0 an acre the richest regiou of tbe west Is no more exempt tban new Uingiaua or th- south, j'ho soil of tbe west is being reduced in agricultural potency by exactly tbe same processes which have driven the farmer of tbe east, with nil his advHiitHges of nearness to market from the field. I! ut tbe fact of toil waste becomes etartlingly evident wheu we examine the record of some states whore single cropping aud other agricultural abuses bave been prevalent, lake ton case of wbeat the muiustay of single crop abuse. Many of us can remember wbeu New Vork whs the greut wbeat produciug statu ot the uniou. The average yield of wbeat an aore in Me Vurk for the last 10 years was about 18 bushels, tor tbe first live sears of that 10 year period it was 18'4 bushels, aud for the last five 17 4 Lusheh. In the farther wetit Kansas takes high mnk as a wheat producer. Its average yield fur the last 10 years was 14. Hi hulield For tbe first live of those years it wits 15.14 and for the att live 13.18. Up in the oortbwett Minnesota wheat bas made came nil over the world. Her average yield an acre for tbe Mime 10 yoais was l'i Dto busbels, for the first five rears it waa 13 12 and lor the lust live 12 8. We perceive lime the walking ot a uniform law.

"Uniformly good ronds over tne oountry would prolong tbe crop-mov ing season period for several moutns, and thereby not only relieve tbe t radio congestion, 'but tbe financial situation as well.
