Plants must drink 1t has been sup
posed that the root is fixed in the soil,
and that the water, with the food ma
'terial which is contains, moves I'D to
the root in constant supply through
capillary attraction. We find, however,
in measuring the rate of movement of
water in a soil moderately dry or in
fair moisture condition as regards the
needs of plants that the movement is
so slow as to be negligible. The root
of a plant is absorbent for water and
for mineral matter only at the tip
and for a very short distance back
from the tip-Only small fraction
of an inch of the root that actually
absorbs water and mineral food This
portion of the root is only absorbent
for a few days, probably for not more
than three or four days AS the tip
is extended into new fields of moisture
and plant food, the part that was alb
sOrbent yesterday ceased to be alb
sorbent today. There is therefore no
reason why water should move up to
the plant from any considerable dis
tance, for the plant itself constantly
moves its feeding roots out into new
fields

A Curious Sea Animal.

Among the curious animals which
inhabit the sea we may take the holo-
thuria, or sea cucumber, so called from
its resemblance to the common vege-
table cucumber, says the London It'd
Bits. When this animal is attacked
by an enemy it does not stand up and
fight, but by a sudden movement it
elects its teeth, stomach, digestive ap-
paratus and nearly all of its intestines,
and then shrivels its body up to al
most nothing. When, however, the
danger is past, the animal commences
to replace the organs which it has
voluntarily parted with and in

Competition in Agriculture.

1t is not profitable to cultivate land
which is not improving in quality,
increasing in fertility, all the time
The importance of this fact is clearly
show in an editorial in the Epito-
mist.
The rapid extension of internal i'm
provements, such as railroads and ca
mails, are facts placing the agricultur-
lists of the whole nation in situa-
ton to compete with each other on
nearly equal terms, so far as the ex-
pense of transportation to market in
the sale of all the products of the
country is concerned The conse-
quence must be that every section will
be compelled to confine itself to the
cultivation of such articles only as
are best adapted to its climate and
soil. There is no apprehension that
our agriculturists will ever degenerate
and fall back to the unskillful, ineffi-
cient labor of the careless cultivator,
with his unimproved appliances. AS
far as the prosperity of this leading
occupation depends upon the skillful
and judicious cultivation of the earth,
it is not only certain not to recede,
but to advance.
The prosperity of the agricultural
list is also promoted not only by
in the process of his
industry, but improvements in all 9TH
er arts The products of agriculture,
being articles of prime necessity, have
at nearly all times the same intrinsic
value, though their exchangeable val
Tie varies greatly, but great number
of other manufacturers have contri-
buted to increase the exchangeable
value of agricultural products, and
it is obvious that these advantages are
as permanent as the application of
power that has given birth
to them. 1t is the growth of various
in our own and other
counties, and the improved means of
by which these manu-
features are brought to our doors,
that have contributed to secure a bet

ter reward for agricultural industry.
Farmers are beginning to discover
that the occupation of exhausted land,
poorly cultivated, cannot successful
ly compete with the judcious culti-
walton of improved, rich and we'll
titled land, because the latter with less
expense, can make two bushels of
grain to his one, and because this
great disparity must every year in
crease in proportion to the progress
sive exhaustion of the first and the
Improvement of the latter. The cost
of production must be reduced and
the yield increased. The profit can
only be derived when the receipts ex-
ceed the expenses, and as each in
dividual farmer is compelled to COM
pete with the others, only the most
improved implements and appliances
can be depended upon to derive the
greatest gain at the lowest cost.
That a total revolution in all meth
ods of farming will soon be effected
admits of no reasonable doubt AS
the farmers constitute a large class
among the producers of wealth they
must keep abreast of the leaders in
the march of progress. They should
be ready for any change that may oc-
cur by acquiring all information which
is necessary to enable them to adopt
their course to that new state OF
things by which they will some time
be surrounded, and to which they
must accommodate themselves if they
wish to participate in the general pros
perity which awaits the intelligent and
industrious cultivators of the SOIL
The spirit of agricultural Improvement
is aroused and is extending itself rap
idly over the whole country produc-
ing sharp competition between old
and new methods, the former found
ed upon old and obsolete customs and
the latter on the latest discoveries
and improvements in agricultural sci
ence.

Concerning Soil Fertility.

The chief of the bureau of soils at
Washington, Milton Whitney, has de-
livered an address before a Maryland
farmers club which has been publish
ed as a bulletin by the department
of agriculture. Selections and con-
densations follow:
Fertility is a property inherent in
the soil; it is what the soil is capable
of doing under the best possible condi-
tions. The yield of crops, on the 9th
er hand, is not dependent upon the
fertility alone. If your seed is not
properly selected, if your planting sea-
son is too early or too late, if the
soil is not properly cultivated, if the
climatic conditions are not favorable,
your crop yield may be affected, but
the fertility of the soil-that inher-
ent power of the soil under the best
conditions to produce a crop-will not
necessarily be impaired.
The fertility of the soil is dependent
upon four principal facts, viz: Plants
must DlSdlHC, PIdhtS lIuSl III HIN,
plants must feed; plants must have
a proper sanitary environment.
We all understand that the breath
ing of a plant is mainly through the
leaves; but the soil also may be very
important factor in the breathing of
plants, as it is necessary to have a
supply of oxygen around the roots.
We know perfectly we'll that cul-
tivation of the soil is important or
necessary for the best development of
many crops, and we say that it is in
order to introduce oxygen and make
possible the introduction of more
water into the soil. The investiga-
tions of the bureau of soils seem to in
dicate that the actual supply of oxy-
gen to the roots may not be the only
or even the most important function
of cultivation. 1t seems necessary
not only to introduce air into the soil,
but by stirring the soil to permit the
escape of noxious gases that are perl
haps given off by the plants them
selves or produced by bacterial action
on the remains or excreta of plants
The plant is exceedingly sensitive
to gases. On the streets of Wash
ington one of the principal causes of
the death of trees is leaks in gas
pipes; every year hundreds and per-
haps thousands of trees have to be
removed and the usual cause is al
leaking gas pipe. The amount of gas
is so small that it cannot be detected
by the odor, but the influence of the
gas on the roots is so pronounced
that the tree suffers and is likely to
die. 1t seems probable that the ven
tilation of the soil is not only to allow
air to enter but to allow gases formed
in the soil to escape. Furthermore,
the air must enter not only for the |
use of the roots itself, but also to
OXidize the organic matters given off
by the plants preserve the proper
sanitary conditions in the soil Ven

The constit utional amendment vot-
ed on at the last election to remove
the double liability from stockholders
in companies other than railroads and
benevolent associations was adopted
by majority Of 1924. The popular
amendment with the people, judging
from the returns, was that which pro-
vides that the probate judges may APP
point deputies when they cannot at
tend to their duties. This amend
ment had majority in favor of adopt
ing it of 1886. The other amend
ment is designed to expedite the
business Of the legislature and pro-
vides that where laws Of general ma
ture may be made applicable to a
condition no special bill need be
passed. This provision also author
ICES the courts to construe laws of
this character which may be enacted.
This amendment had majority Of
4O,S57. A feature of the adoption Of
the amendment is that only few more
than half Of the voters cast their bal
lots on these propositions.

Some interesting facts are brough
out in the report Of Secretary Of Agri
culture Wilson. For instance b,
gives the value Of the farm crop o.
1906 at e6.794, O00,0 900, an increase o.
8 per cent over the total for 1905, o.
10 per cent over that Of 1908, and o.
A per cent over that of 1899. Thii
increase In. the value Of the crops d
the farmers needs Interpretation be-
fore Its full meaning can be definitely
grasped. In the first place, the fig
ures, being for valuation, necessarily
auctuate from year to year according
to prices, so that when o large in
crease OF valuation Is shown 1t may OF
may not follow that corresponding
increase in production has occurred.
On the contrary it is possible that the
total valuation may show large in
crease without there being any in
crease in production, this latter con-
dition tending to raise prices accord
ing to the we'll known laws Of supply
and demand. Again an increased val
uation may be indicative Of very
large increase Of the crop without any
marked increase in prices.
However it safely may be assumed
that the present valuation Of the farm
crop is due both to increased prices
and an increased total production.
This leads, therefore, to a study Of
the causes which have led 10 the in
creased production. They are un-
questionably two in number-first an
increase in the crop producing acre
age, and second, more intensive farm
ing Of the old acreage
Farming is no longer business to
which failures in other walks of life
may turn and make a success of it.
Farming is business-a highly COM
plicated business requiring a great
deal Of specialized knowledge to make
it pay. And this fact has been by no
others more thoroughly understood in
recent years than by the farmers
themselves. They have given their
support to state agricultural colleges
and have sent their sons to them to
learn how best to make given acre
age pay without destroying the fer
tility Of the soil.
And yet such keen observers as J.
J. Hill say the farmers are merely
scratching the surface Of the ground.
This is due to two things, first the
encouragement by the government in
granting homesteads that produces
the notion that every farmer ought to
have, in order to be successful, at
least 100 acres Of land. The inven-
lion Of farm machinery Of all kinds,
while beneficial in its effect, Of course,
has also led many men to try to Guilt
vate with machinery more ground
than one or two men can intelligently
care for. Hence the scratching OF the
surface.
Intensive farming will require more
men on the farms, even aided by all
he special machinery that has been
invented. II in some way the rural
population could be retained in the
'icinity of the farm, so that there
would not be a lack of help when
leeded. it is probable more intensive
arming would quickly follow and the
PRODUCTION Of the country would take
tremendous leap upward.
