W anting our substance.
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. Independent uf loca
tlon, soil or climate. It la the law ut
a diminishing itturu due to soil de
stiuctiou. Apply tbh to tbe ouuutry
