LANDS ARE BEING WASTED

st. Paul, Mimi, September 3.-The Min
nesota State Fair association today began
its annual agricultural exposition and live
stock show. A special feature today was
the dedication of the big live stock am
phetheater recently completed The dedi-
eatory exercises included addresses by
Vice President Nelson of the State FAIR
association, Governor johnson and ]. J.
Hill, president of the Great Northern rail-
road. In his speech Mr.. Hill said:
Labor Never Scarce.
Notwithstanding the addition of more
than million people a year from abroad,
nearly all of them. men and women, who
must work for a living. labor outside of
the cities was never as scarce or wages
as high as at the present time Immi-
grafton fingers in the great centers and
adds to the difficulties attending employ
ment. The farms stretch out their hands
in vain. Railroads In making extensions
have to get help at the highest market
price. and find large percentage of those
whom they employ mere hoboes who de-
sert as soon as they have succeeded in
getting transportation from one part of
the country to another. Farmers besiege
the employment agencies in vain, and Of
fer the lazy tramp a sum for a days
work in the field unheard of in any other
country in the world. The situation grows
more embarrassing yearly. Hours Of la
Dor are being reduced in some of the
states for farm, as we'll as shop hands.
Men are scarcer as the movement of popu-
lation to the cities grows more pro-
nounced. considerable portion of this
years magnificent crop will be either re-
duced in quality or altogether lost by
reason of the impossibility of getting la
Dor to handle it properly Discouraged
small farmers now are selling their land
to larger proprietors who can proftably
substitute machinery for men. The coun-
try needs more workers on the soil. Not
to turn the stranger away, but to direct
him to the farm instead of the city; not
to watch with fear a possible increase of
the birth rate. but to use every means to
keep the boys on the farm and to send
youths from the city to swell the depleted
ranks of agricultural industry is the nee
essary task of a well advised political
economy and an intelligent patriotism.
Within twenty years we must house ans
employ in some fashion fifty million of
additional population; and by the middle
of this cnetury there will be approximate
~ two and half times as many people in
the United States as there are todaN. No
nation in history was ever confronte1
with a sterner question than this certain
prospect sets before us. What are we to
do with our brother, whose keepers we
are? How are we to provide our children
with shelter and their daily bread? Our

Production of Soil.

Our one resource, looking at humanity
as something more than the creature of
day is the productivity of the soil. The
reckless distribution of the public land;
its division among all the greedy who
chose to ask for it; the appropriation of
large areas for grazing purposes, have alb
sorbed much of the national heritage. Only
one-half of the land in private ownership
is now titled That tillage does not pro-
duce one-half of what the land might be
made to yield, without losing an atom of
it's fertility Yet the waste of our treas
ure has proceeded so far that the actual
value of the soil for productive purposes
has already deteriorated more than 1t
should have done in five centuries of use.
On the new lands of the west, where
once the wheat yield was from twenty to
thirty bushels per acre it is now from
twelve to eighteen Frankly, and without
shame. this a is attributed to the wear
ing OUT of the SOIL as If the earth were
a garment that must be destroyed by the
wearing. If the earth. the mother of hui
mainly is to 'wear out" what is to be-
come of the race? The fact is that soils,
properly treated, maintain their produce
tiveness indefinitely under cultivation The
further fact is that, with the disappear
ance of pertilence and the discontinuance
of war that belong to the future. all con-
tributing to the growth of population, the
productive capacity of the soil must be
sustained at its highest point, or the world
suffer

Reclamation Law.

The single intelligent advance on prac-
teal lines made by public authority with
in the last quarter of a century Is the
reclamation law. Initiated and inspired
and paid for by few western railway
companies, it provides for real addi-
ton to the source of fooo supply and the
opportunity for employment. But 1t is
only light breeze blowing In the face
of a cyclone. If every project contemplate
ed as feasible were executed, and If all
were completed instantly by the rub of a
magic lamp, some G0,000,000 acres would
be added to the arabic national domain
And If only forty acres of this were as
signed to each family. it would supply
the needs of the actual addition to popu-
lation, by natural increase and by inn
migration, for less than three years.
Certain 1t is that the time has come for
setting our household in order and Gre
ating a serious study of national activ-
ity and economy according to a truer in
sight and a more ratona. mood
The first step Is to realize our de-
pendence upon the cultivati ton of the soil.
The next will be to concentrate popular
interest and invention and hope upon that
neglected occupation. We are still cling
ing to the skirts of a civilization born of
great cities. We at this very moment use
a slang which calls the stupid man "a
farmer" Genius has Stunned the farm
and expended itself upon mechanical APP
planes and commerce and the manifold
activities whose favorable reactions filter
back slowly to the plot of ground upon
which stand solidly the real master of
himself and of his destiny. II we COM
prehend our problem Alright, all this will
change: and a larger comprehension of
agriculture as our main resource and
our most dgnified and independent occu-
patton, will for the future direct to their
just aim. in the Improvement of meth

of the millions who thus may transmit

Agriculture Almost Unknown.
Agriculture, in the most intelligent
meaning of the term, is something al
most unknown in the United States. We
have a light scratching of the soil and
the gathering of all that 1T can be made
to yield by the most rapidly exhaustive
methods In manufactures we have come
to consider small economies so carefully
that the difference of "A fraction of a
