Wastefulness.

Once more the story of Ameri.
can wastefulness is being dinned
into the ears of prodigals. This
time it is Professor Holmes, of the
geological survey, who calls oul
attention to the millions of tons of
ore and coal thrown away by
slovenly methods of excavation
and utilization, and the billions of
feet of standing timber burned by
forest fires, against which almost
no preventive or protective meas
ures are taken. Even If Professor
Holmes and his fellow prophets of
disaster magnify the facts ten
diameters, the evil they portray is
ominous enough. But, taken at
it's worst, it is trifling in compari-
son with the total results of the
petty day-to day wastefulness of
seventy million Americans. We
say seventy million Americans,
because there are few million ma
tives and perhaps ten million new.
ly landed immigrants with whom
sane economy is deep and CON

lands and squandered mineral
wealth are the sensational aspects
of the great national evil, and will
probably continue to impress many
persons who only laugh at the
imaginary wickedness of throwing
away half-cigars unsmoked and let
ting the cook feed the family dog
on the frigid remains of the daily
roast. But the hard fact still re-
mains, IN spite of skepticlsm, that
a nation of frugal citizens in a
land as rich as ours could we'll en-
dure without hardship all the
snowy losses OF timber, fuel, food
supplies and minerals we have
lhus far suffered.

it is only the half-cuts that see

1t has been said that the Amer
lean poultry earns enough in one
year to not only purchase all the
silver and gold mined that year,
but also all the sheep aud all the
wool they made, and still have
enough money left to buy the total
crop for the year of buckwheat,
rye, barley and potatoes. The
years earnings of poultry could
buy all the milch COWS in this
country. The egg crop alone
could buy all the coal mined dur
ing the year.

Danger of Autumn Fires,

Now is the time when fires are
started from burning up leaves and
other autumn refuse and word
of warning may not be out of
place.
These little bonfires may easily
become menace to property and
lives if not properly watched. In
the small yards of some homes, it
is always somewhat hazardous to
start fire in the open air. 1t be-
comes actually dangerous when
the blaze is left to take care of
itself. A slight gust of wind may
send it whirling against the house
or outbuildings.
1t is hazardous thing to allow
the children to play around 1T. 1t
is not an uncommon thing for
them to be SCARED for life or even
SO seriously burned that they are
In agony from their clothing catch-
ing fire.
A little precaution in this
matter may save great deal OF
loss and suffering.

American business men can there
fore scarcely be blamed for the
"amazingly wasteful methods"
more than one visiting committee
of Europeans says it has found on
every hand. City children who
have revelled in nurseries filed
with costly toys, replaced ad libi-

dren who never had an opportunity
to learn the value of food and fuel

business men except through un-

Some socialistic writer's have
blamed the wealthy classes for
the outrageous extravaganza of
the times. The spendthrifts of
gilded society and the men who
squander fortunes for social and
political prestige are, they tell us,
guilty of corrupting "the good old
American traits of frugality and
economy" But this view re-
verses cause and effect. The
snowy side of our national vice is
misconstrued as the cause of
recklessness in the kitchen, anthra-

system and all the other familiar
failings of the generation. But
follow the history of our eminent
squanderers and you will find that
they throw millions away because
nobody ever taught them the art
of making the most of things.
They haye simply initiated un-
consciously the practices of their
elders and their comrades; and
what they could not do with the
food, raiment and pocket money
their parents gave them they can
not do with the property they
earn for themselves. Our famous

against the use of the plough, as
it was feared that the injury to
the tree roots would counteract
any beneficial effect. The contin-
ued use of shallow cultivators
tends to form a hard pan and many
orchards show the effects, Roots
need air, and lots of it, in order
to do their work effectively. The
root hairs are less abundant and
many are killed If the tree is COM
PEELED to live continuously in a
hard, compact soil. The effect on
the tee is much the same as
though too much water had been
allowed to accumulate about the
roots. Some means should be
taken to loosen such soils, and this
can be done best with a plough,
particularly If supplemented by
some growing crop or stable ma
nure which is turned under.
Peach growers in one of the best
sections of the state, up to about
three years ago, would scarcely
allow a plough in the orchard but
since that time its use has come
to be nearly universal. And we
predict that it will not belong un-
til system of green manuring
will also come into general use.
The time of year to use the
plough is now agitating the minds
of many. The spring has been
adopted in the East, where for fif-
teen years great deal of study
has been devoted to the subject of
orchard culture. The orchard
land is broken up as early as the
weather will permit, and clean
culture is given until the end of
the growing season, when cover
crop is sown. Convenient rains
usually start the crop into growth,
when it helps mature tree growth
by using surplus moisture and
protects the soil in various ways
until the following spring, when it
is turned under to supply vegeta-
BILE matter and fertility of the soil.
The practice of irrigation brings
up many problems which are un-
known to the Eastern orchardists,
consequently their practices can
not always be adopted here. We
are now pretty we'll agreed that
the turning plough should be used,
but extended inquiries among or
chardlsts show that in general
they have had better results by
turning the land over in the fall
The main reason advanced for this
preference is that If the land is
ploughed in the spring, and par
ticularly if green crop has been
turned under, it is nearly impossl-
BILE to get water over the ground
without the most of 1T getting
much too wet. The result is yell
low foliage and setback to the
tree, from which it takes them
some time to recover. This ex-
perience will probably be found to
be true of most soils.
We conclude, then, that the use
Of the turning plough is very de-
if not essential, where
clean cultivation is given, and in
the present state of our knowledge
the fall of the year, after the
leaves are off, is the best time for
its use.
