A WARNING SOUNDED
Terrible Accidents Are Feared In

what Might Result from a SMALL Fire
in the Basement of One of These
Towering Buildings Under
Some Conditions.

In the midst of the riot Of sky

that the unlimited construction OF
buildings OF unlimited height has be-

and safety of thousands of people. In
an address made recently before the
Nineteenth Century club in New York,
Mr.. George 3. Post, architect of the
New York exchange, and other nota-
BILE buildings. said, in discussing the
topic, "Sky-scrapers and Their Conse-
quences
Il feel confident that some day there
will be a terrible disaster in one OF the

in the basement and will fill the build

will shut their doors, They will try to
rush down stairs or out by the ele-

Gated in the upper floors. | know that

And SO it is. Charles d. Purroy,

for himself on the subject: THE height

The best men for farm work-those
who have been raised on farms and
understand the work-have most Oh
them gone to the towns and cities, and
the boys as they grow UP are going. A
farmer who raised three %strapping big
boys. all now In cities, said to me that
he would have to quit farming ecaus
he was unable to obtain any satisfae-
tory help. One of his boys said a few
DAYS ago: Il wouldn't live on a farm

to peddle papers for a living. He used
to make us boys hump when we were
at home. and then We couldn't do the
work to suit him. I'm glad I'm out OF
it," Rural free delivery and the tele-
phone will not stop the exodus OF boys
from the farm while the late-and-early,
push-to-the-limit methods prevail. The
city laborer knows that the minute the
whistle blows his days work is done.

THE CHEMISTRY OF SOILS.
An investigation Of the Chemistry
of Soils ms Related to the
Yields of Crops.

The secretary of agriculture an
nounces that the bureau of soils has
Just finished an exhaustive ~investiga-
ton of the chemistry of soils as relat-
ed TO the yield of crops. The results
indicate that practically all soils have
sufficient available plant food for nor
NAL crop yields, and that this supply is
constantly maintained through natural
agencies in the soils dissolying the ma
terial of the soil grains. The differ
ence in yield is dependent upon the
condition and kind of cultivation and
rotation of crops, maintaining certain
necessary physical conditions in the
soil, under which this plant food a be
used by the crop. A bulletin has just
gone to press giving the details of the
investigation, and discussing the in
fiuence of climate, texture of soil, ro-
tation. fertilizers, and soil management
upon the yield of crops. The work is
based upon analyses by new and ex-
e~eedingly sensitive methods, by which
the amount of plant food in the soil
moisture itself. which is the great nu-
tritive solution for the support OF
crops, has been determined, and not
by digesting toe soils in acids which al
tacA the inert mineral matter of the
soils.
While the conclusions appear TO be
in conflict with the opinions held for
so many years by agricultural chemists.
they are in strict conformity with the
experience Of good farmers in all coun-
