Wilson on Hill.

" iioOu Ult Atills
Secretary Wilson in a remarkable
interview in The Times today replies
to the pessimistic forecast of our
national future, INDUCED recently
by James J. HILL The great rail
/ road builder foresaw the time, not
far ahead, when with 100000 Peo-
pie this country would have ex-
hausted its forests, its iron and coal,
and its soil. What, then, was to be-
come Of the people? he demanded.
The scientific cultivation of the
land is making it more productive,
declares the Secretary. Every acre
of it, even 10 the rainless sands of
the Mojave desert. is useful. and
applied science is fast learning how
to make it most valuable.
Reforestation and new forestation
are making provision against the
timberless time which Mr. Hill fore
sees. An acre of potatoes win pro-
duce 600 gallons of alcohol for heat.
light, and power. What if coal is
exhausted? The time will come
when people viii wonder that they
ever put up with the dirt and dis
comfort of il.
Iron? The Secretary does not un-
dertake TO answer for it; but his
lieutenant, DR.. Galloway, sees a sub
stitute. He would just quit MAX
ing everything of iron-sllyscrapers,
RAILROAD ties, fence posts-and would
have better construction of brick,
stone, and concrete. Incidentally,
without sllyscrapers and related
architectural anomalies, he would
have handsomer and more attractive
cities.
The problem of feeding the future
millions troubles these agricultural
authorities less than any other.
! They viii double the soils Yield by
better cultivation, the use of better
varieties, and the proper selection
of seeds. There viii 5e more and
more irrigation; and. in sections
where there is no water. plants viii
be found adapted TO the conditions,
which viii make the desert blossom.
More intensified farming win be
the result of present conditions in
the agricultural labor market. Labor
is so scarce and expensive that. the
tendency now is for the farmer 10
| do about what ne and his family
can do. Smaller holdings and closer
cultivation viii come from this con
dition.
That there is an encouraging ten
dency TO devote a better intelligence
and a larger technical training to
the soil is earnestly insisted by the
authorities of the Department OF
Agriculture. They can hardly turn
out literature as fast as the farm
ers ask for it. And when they get
it they read il and follow its adj
vice. The book farmer" and his
methods are no longer scorned by
the man with the hoe; the 'agri-
culturist" is become the partner of
the farm hand; and together they
are making effective arrangements
to forestall famine. The long sue
cession of wonderfully bountiful
crops in recent years, the Secretary
declares, Is largely due 20 the ap-
plication of better intelligence to
farming.
