We may reasonably infer from the Men prices of the decade Imme diately taat that evervthlnir waa done bv those who owned the land to en large the acreage where that waa easy or orartlral and that ia what la yet to be broueht In aa tillable land presents rreater difficulties and rreater exoenae.

It ia now almost a learned profession. The first are at steo that haa to be taken in reformed arriculture ia the conaervatlon ot the foil. Under our present system the loss to the farms In thia country by the erosion of the soil la bardlv to be calculated. En gineers have shown us bow much is carried down the ercut rlvcra of the country and ia deposited aa allt each year at their mouths. The number ot eutlc varda atarrvra the Imagination. The question la now this can be pre vented, aa It must he. because the aoil which ia carried off bv thia erosion ia generally the richeat and the beat aoll of the farma which aro thus de nuded. Of the rain or anow which falls nn the land, a part evaooratea Into the air: a aecond part (Iowa down the alopea to the etreama. and la called the run off. The third part soaks into the aoil and sub-soil, and thence into under lying rock a. perhaps to reappear in aprlnga or seepage Into atreama. Thia la called ground water. The fourth part la absorbed bv organisms, chiefly bv trees, grasses, and croo plant, either directly through the tiaauea or indirect ly through the roots penetrating the moistened soil. Eroelon la due to the run-off. and Ita quantity la dependent on the alone of the farm and alao the nature of the aoil and ita products. Anv reasonable slope, and anv full cover of foreat or rrasa with an abund ant mulch, or a close croo on a deeolv broken aoil. or a friable slice kept loose bv auitable cultivation, will ab sorb rain and curtail the run-off. or even reduce it to alow aeeoage through the surface aoil, wh'ch ia the ideal condition. Now, the ground water ia the most essential constituent of the aoil. because solution, circulation, and organic assimilation are dependent on water. All the organisma and tissues are made ud of thia aolvent of water and It constitutes a large percentage of the bodies and food of men and animals. Tho Question of the amount or ratio of ground water in the aoil ia a vital one. If it ia excessive it makea a aodden muss, atickv when wet. but baked when drv. ao that there ia no possible aborotion further into it. an1 it sends on the water that falls on it to erode easy slonei. The erosion begins on the farm and ahould be remedied there. Deeo cul tivation tends to absorb the product of each rainfull and to reduce tne run-off. Deep cutllvatlon brings up fresh earth salts to the shorter rootleta. but carries down the humus and mulch to thicken the aoil.and feed the deepest roots. In flat lying fields and tenacious soils tile drainage la the best method f reliev ing the farm from the danger of too great run-off, . Deep drainage permits both aoil and sub-soil to crumble and disintegrate and through mechanical and chemical changea to become friable and capable of taking on and holding the right amount of moisture for plant growth, while the water which runs out through the drain is clear without carrying the aoil with it, and therefore without erosion. Certain farma require what fa called contour cultivation, by which each furrow ia to be run in auch a way as to level and to hold the water. On hilly landa strips of grass landjare grown called balks or breaka. separating' cones of plow land, and tbey should curve with the slopes and the soil being carried by the water will be caught by them and constitute the makingof terrace without effort. The use of forests, of course, in foothills and deeply broken'country ia essential and ahould be combined with grazing. They will prevent the formation of torrents bv making the mulch and aoil deep and apongv. Of course, over all mountain divides the rentention of forests greatly helps to prevent the carrying off of the good aoil to the valleys below. The proper selection of crops bas much to do with the stopp ing of erosion. I rather these facts from the reports of the Secretary of Agriculture to the best method to prevent erosion. They are aimnle and easily understood, but they need to be Impressed upon the farmers bv education and by reitera tion. Then tho productivity of the soil might very well be increased by more careful use of commercial fertilisers. In 1907 1100,000.000 waa expended in fertilizers, but the ArrfculturalDeDart ment ia of opinion that one-third of this wss wssted for Isck of knowledge how to use It. Csreful crop rotation is essential because It haa" been found that the remama of one croo have a poisonous effc.'t uon the next croo If it is of the ssme plant, but such remains do not Interfere with the normal production of a different plant. Then a kind of croD mav ar ' .-uuld be selected to fol low which will renew that element in the soil which the first croo exhausted. Then there Is the organization of the farm nn plain business principles bv which the ouildings and the machinery are ao arranged aa to make the move ment of crocs and food and animals as easy and economical aa possible. A study aa to the character of the aoil and the croos best sdaoted to the soil all these are questions that address themselvea to a scientific and profes aonal agriculturist, and which all farm ers are bound to know if the product per acre is to be ororxrlv increased. We have every reaaon to Lodc from the forces now making towards the education and information of the farm er aa to the latest results in scientific agriculture, that the country will have thn advantage of improvement in our farming along the proper linea. Further agricultural development is to be found in the breeding of oroper plants for the making of the best crops, white the growth of livestock Is made much mure profitable both to the owner and to the public bv improving the breed and in fusion of the blood of the bos' stock. The improvement in agricultural edu cation goes on apace. All the States are engaged in spending money to edu cate the coming farmer, and thia system ia being extended ao that now we have the consolidated rural school the farmers' high school, and the agri cultural college, and one who Intenda to become a farmer ia introduced to his profession soon after he learns T to read and write, and be continues thia study of it until he graduates from his college and appliea fnr a place upon the farm. The land-grant colleges established bv the Federal Government have vindi cated the policy in making the grant. Now tho department emolovea 11.000 persona, manv of whom are engaged in conducting experiment stations and spreading the information all over the country. The co-oocration between the State agricultural school svstem and the Federal Government's publicity bureau and experimental work is aa close and fine aa we could ask. It ia difficult to Justify the expenditure of monev for agricultural purposes in the Agricul tural Department with a view to its publication for use of the farmers, or to make grants to schools for farmers. on anv consitutional theory that will not iuutify the Government in spending monev for anv kind of education the couatrv over: but the welfare of the people ia so dependent on unproved agricultural conditiona that it seems wise to une the welfare clause of tne Constitution to authorize the expendi ture of monev for improvement in ag ricultural education, and leave to the State and to private enterprise general and other vocational education. The attitude of the Government in all this matter must be merely advisory. It owns no !tnd of sufficient importance to justify its maintenance of so large a department or of its sending into all States agents to carry the news of re cent discoveries' in the science of agri culture. The $50,000,000 which has been spent for research work in the department, however, has come back manv fold to the people of the United States, and all parties unite in the necessity for maintainng those appro priations and increasing tnem as the demand shall increase. It ia now proposed to organize a force of 3.000 men, one to everv county In the United States, who shall conduct experiments within the county for the edificaition and education, of the present farmera and of the embryo farmera who.are being educated. It is proposed that these men shall be paid partly bv the county, partly by the State, and partly bv $ the Fedoral Government, and it ia honed that the actual demonstration on farms in the county not at agricultrual rtations or schools somewhere in- the State, but the' county itself -will brine home to the farmera what it is Dosaible to do with the very soil that they themselves are cultivating. I understand this to be the objeot of an association organ ized for the improvement of agricul ture in the country, and I do not think we could have a more practioal method than this. It is ordinary not only wiae to unite administration between the county and State and Federal Gover- mets. but this subject Is one so all- compelling, it is one in which all people are so much inteiebted, that co-opera tion seems easy and the expenditure of money to good purpose so free from LARGE THINGS TOLD IN A BRIEF MANNER Lebanon la soon room hospital.

I think our agricultural future ia hopeful. I do not share the neBsimiatio views of manv gentlemen whose ststistics differ somewhat from mine, and who look forward to a strong probability of fail ure of aelf-support in food within the lives of persons now living. It is true j that we ahall have to continue the im- j orovement in. agriculture boss to make our addition to tne prodact per acre 1. per cent of the croD each vear. or 10 per cent each decade : but considering: 1 what ia done in Europe, thia is not. cither impossible or improbable. The addition to the acreage in drainage and ; in irrigible lands will go on must got on. The profit to the State or to the enterprise which irrigates or drains : these lands will become sufficient to , make it not only profitable but neces sary to carv through the project, and we mav look forward to the middle of' thia century, when 200.000.000 of peo ple ahall swear fealtv to the starry flag. as a time when America will still con tinue to feed her millions and feed them well out of her own soil. wonarcn service machine comes into the years it is in Send for Monarch the construction which has given the Monaroh ita rpmarlra.v.iA Light Touch. 307 Bush Street ly consumed by fire will be rebuilt at once.
