BACK TO THE FARM.

James J. Hill, in the recent speech
before the Merchants club of Chica-
go, arraigncd the whole country ON
The charge Of waStcfulncss and heed
lessncss.
We have wasted our forests, he
says, and we are drawing upon our
mineral reserves as if we had the
whole universe to grasp from. He
points out that the visible supply Of
both coal and iron is lmilcd; and he
forsces day in the not very distant
future when there will be a sharp
decline in the related activities that
necessarily depend upon coal and iron
In short, our industrial greatness is
thin" of the day, and tomorrow we
must look for some other means
wherewith to clothc and feed and
house our millions.
And tomorrow-in less than fifty
years, Mr.. Hill opines--therc will be
two hundred millions instead Of nine
ty millions to clothc and feed. And
how shall it be done9
The soil--that is Mr.. Hills answer.
We must return to agriculture, we
must begin the development Of the
soils resources in sober earnest. He
figures that the area susceptible Of
cultivation in, this country is so great
that twice two hundred millions NAV
be fed therefrom, if necessary. And
he urges that the study of intensive
agriculture be begun at once, and that
the possibilities of the soil be con-
served and fostered as the other nat
ural wealth of the land never has
been..
