into the land Here is steady
deficit which the farming of the
twentieth century must meet and
account for. The inventive skill of
man will be taxed TO the utmost to
prevent waste of fertilizing material,
and to invent new forms of soil
enrichment. The farmer of the
future must have a keen eye for
every substance that contains a
pound of plant food. The compost
pile will become the prominent
feature of our farms. Ii is only Just
dawning on us that to burn millions
of bushels Of autumn leaves each
year is to give back to the air a very
large part of that which nature in
tended to add TO the humus of the
soil. Ii is not an oyerestimate that
two-thirds of the liquid manure
made on our farms is allowed to 90
TO waste, yet scientific farming bids
us carefully preserve every ounce of
this The supply of phosphates by
the decomposition of underlying
rocks can in some sections be rem
dered far more papid. The blue
grass region OF Kentucky owes its
fertility to the presence of strata of
crustacecan shells underlying the soil.
These constantly give a supply of
phosphates from the storage made
by the makers of the shells that lived
tens of millions of years ago. To
get at such phosphate rocks and
liberate the storages for fertilizing
purposes will constitute a peculiarly
part of agricultural science
from this time forward.

Don't Waste Time On a School That
Is Not The Best.

W. A"N eN@Ns
A former student OF Berea recently
wrote 10 President Frost, asking his
help in starting a school for colored
people in AN adjoining county The
following is his letter in reply:
BosroN, Jan. 2Sth, 1905.
My Dear Friend.
Your letter is sent on to me here.
| wish | could sit down and have a
long talk with you. | honor your
effort and desire TO do something for
your people, but you must let me tell
you some things about this matter Of
starting schools.
A poor school is almost worse than
no school at all, and il takes great
deal Of money 10 run a good school.
am here now, away from my
family, and away from Berea where
| am needed all the time, because il
is necessary for me 10 raise more
money for Berea.
Now | could not, if | tried, raise
money for your school, because the
people who have money to give would
not give il to school that does not
amount TO something. Your letter
and the letter of your friend, --.
both show that you are un.
educated men, and people who have
money will not give it except to
people who they know understand all
about education, and can make
really good school. l have spent
many years learning how to conduct
a really good school, and people will
trust me with their money but | do
not get half as much as need.
Now, If we do not get the colored
students back to Berea, | hope to
get up really good school for the
colored people of Kentucky. | am
going to keep ON helping the colored
people in some way.
Now, the thing for us to do is
First, make the most we possibly
can out of the free school. We have
a free school, sustained by the State,
and we are not doing as well as we
might with this free school, Let us
repair and improve the school house,
and persuade all the parents to send
their children. And let us have
better teachers, and better schools.
When we get all the colored children
in school for six months, and give
them good instruction in the free
school studies, we shall have done
great deal And there are some who
want more than the free school
studies-let them go to some really
good school for the higher branches. !

From observations made in Ken.
lucky it is believed that the soils Of
that section are losing at the rate Of
several inches in a century. Pro
fessor Shaler has warned us of the
danger of steadily wasting our
tillable soils. Europe, with more
careful tillage, is losing large areas,
where sand dunes have driven the
farmer miles inland. The danger OF
waste is more serious in another
direction. According to DR.. Francis
Wyatt, the average depth Of the
arabic soil is nine inches. The con.
tents in phosphates is about 1000
pounds an acre, or, altogether, 1000,
100000 tons for l,O00,000,000 acres
under cultivation. Every ton of
crop takes from this storage forty
pounds; so that 20,000,000 tons of
phosphates are subtracted each year,
while only one half of this goes back
to the soil by natural restoration.
Ii follows that the absolute loss
annually is 100000 tons of phos
pilates. At this rate, with increased
demand made by an increasing
population, the supply of plant food
will be practically exhausted by Ithe
end of a single century. This is not
a pleasant outlook. We cannot close
our eyes, however, to the fact that
our national area now includes mil
lions OF acres, fertile when we
received them, but now worn out and
useless that is, useless under ordin-
airy methods of cultivation. DR..
Wyatt estimates that from all sources
5, 100000 tons of phosphate food
can be artifcially put back annually

Especial stan Correspondent

Especial Stan Correspondent
BOISE, Jan. 26.-In spite Of the Sec
recy maintained Informal tion has leaked
out that one of the questions that will
be up to the present legislature will be
the division of old Nez Perce county.
1t has been stated on reliable informa-
ton that parties have been in Boise
for a week past furthering the move-
ment and in spite Of the denials by
members OF the legislature OF Nex
Perce county, in which the report ID
not accredited, the matter is persist
antly bobbing UP. 1t may be said with
some degree of assurance that mem-
bers of the legislature have been as
sured that the people of Nex Perez
county are in favor Of division Of the
old county and that there is. even no
intention of disturbing south Shoshone.
From informa tions that has come to
your correspondent it is understood
that a bill will be presented in the lag
islature for the division OF the county
but that the people of the county shall
first have a chance to vote on the
question. Aside from this there IL lit
tie more to add with the exception that
the bill will call for division OF the
county in which the line will probably
be drawn north and south across the
county at a point just west of Ilo. An
effort was made to learn who is agi-
tating the matter but the source can
not be learned. al
Speaking of county division matters
interest in the kootenai county trou-
bles and that of Shoshone and Nez
Perce counties Is beginning to wane
and more interest is being taken in the
movement on foot to divide Bingham
county. 1t is understood that an ef-
, fort will be made to divide. Bingham
forming a new county by the name OF
Canal with Idaho Falls as the county
seat. Twice before attempts were
made in past sessions OF the legislature
to divide Bingham with no success.
The new measure is threatened but
there is no probability that there will
be any greater degree of success. The
members of the legislature have given
out the assurance that county division
questions will be pigeon -holed during
this session and should an effort be
made to force the questions up it is
safe to state that the cases will neces-
sarily have to be very urgent to re-
ceive any consideration whatever
