Is the Soil Giving Out?

American soil is losing its fertil-,,
ity, according to James J. Hill. The I
great railroad magnate ought to know, .
for he has made a careful study of;
the subject.
The yield of wheat, for instance, >
has fallen off heavily, says Mr.. Hill. n
While Minnesota soil yielded 10. II
bushels to the acre on the average dur h
ing the first five years of the past de- =
cade during the last five the average .
was 1918. In New York the figures j,
are 1874 and ia from Is. IA bushels to
1918. Similar findings are made ind
the other states.
Mr.. Hill makes his point clear by ,
citing the average yield in Denmark T,
GO. 10 bushels, which ne says is due to !
the scientific cultivation and enrich
ment of the soil. Although the land
has been titled for centuries, it has five
times the yield of the practically vir-
gin soil of America, simply because
the Danish farmer looks after the sol
instead OF leaving it to chance and the
elements to see that it does not run
down.
The intelligent young American
farmers are learning and the less in
telligent will learn, that the ex-
haustion Of large holdings of soil is
not the most profitable method of ag-
riculture; the intensive cultivation of |
small farms, scientifically cared for
and periodically fertiized, is what
American farmers must come to if |
they want to get the most the soil has
to give, and want to keep the soil Civ
ing it. Olympia Record.

THRILLING FEATS Of
NERVE At STATE FAIR

One Of the big spectacular acts to
be put on in front of the grandstand
during the Spokane Fair this fall is
the sensational ride of Frank Smith
son on bicycle down sharp incline
at breakneck speed Midway to the
ground he leaps gap over the crater
of a blazing volcano and alights on a
narrow platform, stopping in an in
credibly short space in comparison
with the velocity with which he de-
scends the incline.
This is one of the attractions carried
with the Parker show which furnishes
the Midway" at the fair this year.
The leaping of the volcanic chasm is
stated to be one of the sensations of
the age.
In speaking Of the attractions the
advance agent of the c. w. Parker
shows says; "The public demands
exhibitions by daredevils and the,
Parkers satisfy that demand in every
respect. Sensational acts of all de-
scrlptions are presented, the highest
salaried artists in the profession being
employed.
Apparently impossible feats of
daring performed upon veritable death
traps to any one but the experienced
are put on. In addition to the BIZ
cycle dive there will be a high dive,
which is real hair raiser, the artist
being man who dives from an in
credible height into a net. 4"
This performance will be put on
every afternoon and evening at the
fair grounds in front of the big grand
stand. Other spectacular free attrac-
lions will be put on at the midway.

of it, and they went round. leaving 1t

Nothing in the navigational equipment

more jealous care than the mariners COM

The popular notion of the compass
needle always pointing north and south is
we'll. more inaccurate than even popular
notions usually are. Even under the most
favorable conditions there are only certain
places upon the surface of the earth
where the compass needle does point
north and south. and it is quite safe to
say that such conditions are never found
on board of any ship
But we must go further and say that no
more unfavorable position could be found
for compass than on board of q modern
