H. W. MORGAN, Manager, LAKEVIEW, OREGON
Membert of the National Connrva
tion ConiereM: At last vear'i conven
tion of this congress I had the honor
ami pleasure of oetivering an adilrms
on the subject of conservation 01 our
national resources. and therein
attemoled to state what the term "con
servation" of our national resources
meant, what were the statutes affect
ing ami enforcing such conservation,
classified the different public lands to
which it would apply, and suiriresed
what I thoucht was the proper method
of disoosinr of each class of Itmls.
Nothing has boon done on this subtect
by Congress sines that time, but it is
hoped that the Dresent Congress at its
regular sees on will take ud the aues
tion of the conservation of Govern
ment land containing coal and phoe
Dhatea or furnishing water Dower,
adopt some laws that wi!l permit the
use and develoDment of these lands in
vated Increased In the last 10 vears
1 oer cent. vear. -or 10 tier cent. The
total product Increase 1 in 10 vears
nearly 20 oer cent.
The population in this same time In-'
creased 21 per cent. If tne population
continues to increase at its uresent rate
we shall have in 50 years double the
number of Deonie we now have. It Isj
necesnsry then, that not onlv our acre- J
age but also bur Droduct per acre must !
increase Drooortlonately so that our .
Dcoole may be fed. We must realise
that the best Isnd and the land easiest
to cultivate has been taken uo and cul
tivated, and thst the additions to im
proved lands and to total acreage In
the future must be of land much more
exoensive to nreoare for tillage. The
increase oer acre of the products, too.
must be stesdv each vear. vet each
vear an increase becomes more d I Ill
cult. Still, even In the face of these
j a.lvsnoa In lha machinery used nn the
farm has reduced the necessity for a
Brest number of farm hands on esch
farm.
Mr. Holmes, of the Department of
Arirloulture. in the Yearbook of thst
department for 1 S'.Ht. points out that
between the vears 1855 and IS!) 4 the
time of human labor required to pro
dure 1 bushel of corn on an average
declined from 4 hours and HI minutes
to 41 minutes and the cost of the human
labor required to produce this ImihIicI
declined from 35 3-4 cents to 10 12
cents. Kctwren IS.'IO and IM the time
of humsn Inbor was reduced from 3
hours to 10 minutes, while the nrlce of
the labor required for this ouruoio de
clined frim 17 3 4 cents to 3 12 cents.
Uetween 18T.0 and 1804 the lima of
h iman labor required for tho produc
tion of a ton of hav was reduced from I
35 12 hours to 11 hours and 34 minutes,
and the cost of labor Per ton was re
duced from IIUXI to $1.29.
In 181)9 the calculation mado with
respect to the reduction In the cost of
labor lor the production of aeven croos
of that vear over the old-time manner
of production In the fifties and sixties
shows it to have been Stl8l.000.0o0 for
one vear. Uut while it Is possible te
sav that there mav Le in the futurt
improvements In machinery which will
reduce the number of necessary hands
on the tarm. it is quite certain thut
In this regard the prospect ot economy
In Inbor for the future ia not to be com
pared with that which has been affected

Read The Examiner Want Ads
Alaska and in continental United
States, and evolve a svstem bv which
the Government aball retain proDer
ultimate control of the lands, and dt
the same time offer to Drivate invest
ment sufficient returns to induce the
outlay of capital needed to make the
lands useful to the Public The discus
sion did not invoke the consideration
of anv question which directly concern
ed the production of food.
To-night however I wish to consider,
in a summary way another asDect of
conservation far more ioiDcrtant than
that of preserving for the public in
terest public lands; that is. the con
servation of the ooil. with a view to
the continued production of food in this
country sufficient to feed our growing
population.
We have in continental United States
about 1,900.000.000 acres. Of this, the
Agricultural Department through its
correspondents, estimates that 950.J
000,000 acres are capable of cultivation.
Of this. 873.729.000 acres are now in
farms. The remainder, about 100.000
000 acres, la land which is untillable!
It is reasonably certain thst substan.
u'allv all virgin soil of a character to
proa uce crops has been taken up. It
is doubtful how much of the part not
included in farms can be brought into
a condition in which tillage will be
profitable .
The total acreage of farms in the
laBt ten vears. although the pressure
for increased acreage by reason of high
farm price was great, was Increased
onlv about 4 per cent, or about 350.000,
000 acres. There are upwards of 25.-
000.000 acres that will be brought In
under our irrigation system, and per
haps more, and the amount of lands
which can be drained and made useful
for agriculture will amount to aboul
70.000.000 acres.
The total improved farm lands in the
United States amount to 477.448.000
acres which is an increase in the last
10 years of 62.949.000, or 15.2 per
cent.
The product per acre actually culti-
I
facts, there is no occasion for dis
couragement. We are going to remain
a self-supporting country and raise
food enough within our borders to feed
our oeoule. When we consider thut in
Germany and Great Britain crops are
raised from land which has been in
cultivation for 1.000 vears. and that
these lands are made to produce more
than two and three times per cre what
the comparatively fresh land in this
country produce in the best States, it
becomes verv apparent that we shall be
able to meet the exigency bv better
systems of farming and more intense
and careful and industrious cultivation.
The theory seems to have been in
times past that soils become exhausted
bv constant cultivation ; but the result
, in Europe, where acres under constant
use for producing crops for 10 centuries
are made now to produce crop three
times those of thia country, shows
, that there is nothing in this theory, and
that successful farming can be con
tinued on land long in use, and that
great crops can be raised and garnered
j from it if only it be treated scientific
ally and in accordance with its neeessi
: tv. There is nothing peculiar about
the soils in Europe that (rives the great
yield per acre there and prevents its
possibility in the United States. On
the contrary, there is every reason to
I believe that the application of the same
methods would produce Just as large
crops here aa abroad
I One of the great reasons for dis
couragement felt by many who have
j written on this subject is found In the
movement of the population from farm
to city. This has reuched such a point
that the urban population is now 46 per
cent ot the total while the rural popu
1 lat.ion is but 64 per cent, counting as
' urban all who live in cities exceeding
12.500 inhabitants. This movement bus
J been persistent, and has made it verv
diflicult for the farmers to secure ade-
nuate agricultural labor, with an In
crease in the price of labor which nat
urally follows such a condition. Still
WA filKrht in rAull'vA that onna-msina
in the last 30 vears. Henco we must
regard the question of available popula
tion and available labor in that popula
tion for the cultivation of the fields
as an important consideration, Mv im
pression from an examination of the
figures is thut the change in this lut
decade from farm to city has not been
as great in its percentage as it was in
previous decades, and. if this be true,
it Indicates that there is in the present
situation an element that will help to
cure the difficulty. Farm prices are
increasing raoidly. and the profits of
farming are becoming apparently much
more certain and substantial. While
the acreage of the improved land only
increatted C5.000.000. or 15 per cent, and
the total acerage only 4 per rent, the
value of the farms In money increased
from S17.000.000.000 to $350,000,000,000
in 10 years, an enormuos advance. This
of course was due somewhat to the in
vestment of additional money in the
imorovemnnt of land and somewhat to
the increase in the supply of gold,
which has the effect of advancing the
all prices; but the chief cause for the
advance is In the increase in the price
of tarm products at the tarm. Ho great
is this increase that the valuo of the
average farm has now gone from 12.
895 to S5.470. while the average value
per acre has increased from $19.81 to
$39.69. In addition to this, comforts
of farm life have been so greatly added
to In the last 10 vears bv the rural free
delivery, the suburban electric railway,
the telephone, and the automobile, that
there is likely in the next 10 years to
be a halt In this change towards the
city, and more people in proportion are
likely to.engage in gainful occupation
on the farm than has heretofore been
the case. Such an effect would be the
natural result of the actual economic
operation of the Increase in the value
of the farm product, and the Increase
In the certainty of farming profits.
It is the business of the country, in
so far as It can direct the matter, to
furnish the means by which this
