In the interesting address of Secre-
tary Wilson one fact stands out as of
great practical Importance. It must
be borne in mind that he Is the official
head of the greatest and most effective
system of agricultural investigation
and assistance in the world. He and
his department have never been slow
in presenting their claim for public
recognition or for actual achievement.
Yet Notwithstanding all that expensive
scientific effort, notwithstanding all.
the advocacy of improved methods, all
the introduction Of new plants and
crops, Notwithstanding all the claims
advocated for soil incubation, the Sec
rotary has but two suggestions to make
fol- the saving and economical use of
our greatest asset"-the soil.
With all the resources at his COM
mand, he has nothing new to offer.
He falls back on the old and tried
practice of rotation and fertilization"
Our greatest asset is the soil. 1t
feeds our people and produces the ex-
ports which maintain our balance of
trade. 1t keeps our railroads busy, the
factories occupied and the greater part
of the people employed. This asset,
this great natural resource, Is being
steadily depleted. 1t is constantly
growing less productive. Unless rad
ical change in present methods be made
the end of all the prosperity founded
on the soil is matter of only few
years.
How is this calamity, almost in sight,
to be averted? This question deserves
the thoughtful consideration of every
citizen. 1t should become the key to
the practice on every farm. 1t Is one
of the most vital problems considered
at the recent remarkable conference.
The answer to the question is found
in the simple practice of rotation and
fertilizing."
Rotation-change of crOps-con-
serves fertility by allowing the soil to
recuperate from the exhausting effects
of one crop before producing another
of the same kind. Fertilizing either
restores the plant food taken from the
soil, or directly supplies the needs of
the crop. In either case the result is
to prevent soil exhaustion.
The Importance of rotation being rec
-ognized, the necessity for including
legume-air feeder-in every rotation
should be insisted on. With many crops
this eliminates the need for supplying
nitrogen in the fertilizer.
There remain but two other sub
stances to be supplied to the soil to
maintain it as our greatest asset
phosphoric acid and potash.
The average crop removes fully
twice as much potash as phosphoric
acid from the soil. The sources of sup
ply of the latter are very much great
er than the former 1t therefore fol-
lows that more intelligent use of pot
ash is absolutely necessary to the con-
tinued maintaining of our greatest
asset" H. E. STOCKBRIDGE.

OUR GREATEST ASSET.

The American people are at present
in a stock taking mood. The recent
depression in business, resulting from
financial stringency, made us stop and
take notice of some things which years
of unprecedented prosperity had made
us forget.
The White House Conference of Gov
ernors therefore came at a most oppor-
tune time. Warnings, conditions and
facts which would recently have at
tracted little notice now attract uni
versal attention. AS a nation, we are
now forced to sit up and take notice
of certain stern realities which even
the most optimistic cannot contemplate
without apprehension.
We have been made to turn from ego
tistic pride in the great and supposed
inexhaustible resources of the nation
and recognize that not only Is our
heritage of natural resources exhaust
BILE, but even now the end is in sight.
We have begun to take stock. We
begin to recognize the ineXcusable ex-
travagance of the past. In this fact
lies hope for the future. Mines, navi-
gable waters, forests and fisheries are
all of incalculable Importance. One
natural resource, however, is of great
er Importance than all these combined.
Yet it must be confessed that until
this Conference of Governors drew pub
lie attention to the fact few people
thought of the soil as our resource of
greatest value. Food is impossible
without soil; and without food the SIM
plest child can reason out the inevi-
table results. >i15
The soil Is our greatest natural re-
source In this great stOcktaking con-
ference Secretary wilson of the Ma
tional Department of Agriculture ex-
pressed the fact most pertinently in
these terse words: "The soil is our
greatest asset, and we are doing all in
our power to exhaust it as rapidly as
possible"
A great truth and a lamentable fact
are both expressed in this single SEN
tence.
The secretary showed that no coun-
try in the world was spending so much
for the improvement of agriculture as
was yearly being devoted to this pur-
pose by our National and state govern
ments. Lest this fact serve to continue
the complacency with which we have
heretofore regarded all warnings
against the results of our national i'm
providence, an equally forceful state
ment made by another speaker at this
same conference may appropriately be
placed beside that of the secretary. Mr..
J. j. Hill, in speaking Of this rapid
exhaustion of the soil by our wasteful
system of farming said: mo civilized
country in the world, with the excep-
ton of Russia, has so low condition
or so wasteful a system of agricul-
ture."
If any proof of this unpleasant con-
dition was needed it is found in the
fact that though our wasteful and IRA
tional methods of farming have in a
few generations nearly exhausted the
original great fertility of the Ameri-
can continent, there are many other
countries where long centuries OF a
more provident agriculture have main

WASHINGTON LIVE STOCK GAINS.

Marked increase in the live stock
industry throughout the state, except
in stock or range cattle, is shown by
the schedule of the personal property
assessments returned by the various
counties. The total number of 1-year'
old stock cattle in 1907 was 1897;
this year, not including Kittitas, the
total is 66,346 In 1907 the number
of 2-year-old stock cattle, not includ-
ing Kittitas, which last year counted
2,490, is 1921. In the 3-year-old and
over class, constituting the full-grown
animals, the total last year was 73,4O7,
as compared with 52,141.
The growth of the dairy industry is
shown in the returns for mich COWS.
In 1907 there were 1859 and this
year 141, 643, which, with Kittitas' re-
turn last year of 3,515, would indicate
net increase of between 5000 and
$1,000 COWS.
Horses show an increase. There
were 20,1S2 yeariings and 1915 2.
year-olds, as compared with 24,328
yearlings and 20,636 2-year-olds this
year. Work horses increased from
142, 637 to 146,4S8. Mules show the
greatest percentage of increase. There
were 5,132 on the assessment rolls in
1907 and 6,028 this year.
Sheep raising shows a falling off.
Assessors in 1907 found 47S,925; this
year the returns show but 81 ,147; to
this add $4,000 for Kittitas and the
count is still $4,000 less than for the
previous year.
The hen is receiving more atten-
ton. Poultry in 1907 was valued at
$202,423 and this year at $266,872..

AlOhas Do Things To
Boys From Oahu
Plantation

The Chinese Aloha baseball aggre-
cation, numbering about fifteen, and
conducted by C. All Tong, the treas
urer of the club, as manager. and
Chang Duke. as his assistant, went
to Waipahu yesterday to play game
with the Oahu plantation nine,
which they were able to defeat by
the score of 81 to 2. 1t was one
sided game all right, but neverthe-
less a large crowd was ut the dia-
mond and the fans yelled themselves
hoarse.
At p. m. the game started with
the Waipahus at bat and the Alohas
in the field. The Waipahus scored
one run in this inning against the
Chinese Alohas' eight. In the third
inning the Waipahus scored their
second run and were held down from
scoring for the rest of the game. The
Alohas piled up seven more In the
third. And In nearly every other
inning, they were able to score until
at the end of the game 1t stood Alo-
has Fl runs and Waipahus 2. Oh,
me, oh my!
Immediately after the game the
boys were escorted to the home Of
Mr.. Miles, who had a nice dinner al
ready prepared and most pleasant
time was spent there. Mr. Miles Is
n true sportsman and his courtesy
was much appreciated by the visiting
team.

MOB HANGS NEGRO
AFTER FIGHT WITH
TROOPS AND POSSE
Pigot Strung Up to Pole in Sight
of Court House on Way
to Trial.

BRoOKHAVEN, Mass, Feb. 10.-Eli
Pigot, the negro who attacked Miss
Williams, a young white woman, neal
here several weeks G was taken from
the custody of the Jackson military
company and a posse of deputies to-
day and hanged to a telegraph pole
within less than a hundred yards OF

overpowered by a mob of more thar
two thousand citizens. Several shots
were fired during the melee, and Two

Frank Greer and under the armed es-
cort of the capital light guards, ordered
into service by Governor Noel to pro-
tect the negro during the trial. When
the soldiers and negro alighted from

COMMITTEE
TO RENEW REFORM
FIGHT IN COUNCIL
Chairman Day Refuses to Abide
by Setback OF ReOrgan-

Elmer A. Day, chairman of the poor
and aims committee of the Common
Council, will renew the fight for the
reorganization of the poor and aims
department, despite the setback re-
ceived from the parent body Friday
night, when the committees action in
appointing two visitors was referred to
the nance committee of the Council.
At n recent meeting following a con-
sultation with the City Attorney and
Mr.. McDougall, superintendent Of the
Bureau of Associated Charities, the COM
mittee decided that the two men who
did the visiting from the poor and aims
department We're too old to property
perform their duties, and Patrick II.
White and Nathan Steinfeldt We're
chosen TO fill their places. When this
action came up i'm the Council meeting
the Sinnott faction, aided by Republic
can votes, had it referred to the finance
committee. Alderman Day now pro-
poses to question the right of that body
to decide who shall be added to
the payroll of the poor and aims de-
partment, and ma prefer charges
against Assistant Superintendent Doty.
Alderman Michael II. Muliin, OF the
Fourth Ward, was prepared to quote
the municipal law Of 1877, chapter IL.
as upholding his contention that the
matter should be referred TO the finance
committee. This section gives the
finance committee the control over sew
eral departments. but not the poor and
aims department.
