What OF the Future.

Where are they to go. how are they
to be employed, how fed. how enabled to
earn a living wage? We are approaching
the point where all our wheat product will
be needed for our own use, and we shall
cease TO be an exporter of grain. Our
own people. whose mineral resources will
by that time have greatly diminished,
must find themselves thrown back upon
the soil for a living. If continued abuse
of the land should mark the next fifty
years as it has the last. what must be
the outlook
Mr. Hill said that not only the econo-
mic but the political future is involved,
and added:
Every nation finds it's hour of peril
when there is no longer free access to the
land or when the land will no longer sup
port the people. Disturbances within are
more to be feared than attacks from with
out. 1t would not be strange if they
should in their desire for change attempt
to pull down the pillars of their national
temples. Far may this day be from us.
But since the unnecessary destruction of
our land will bring new conditions of
danger. its conservation its improvement

Mad Endeavor for Quick Returns.

I'VE are robbing the SOIL" said Mr..
HILL in an effort TO get the largest cash
returns from each acre of ground in the
shortest possible time and with the least
possible labor"
He said that our agricultural land had
been abused in two principal ways. first
by single cropping and second by neglect
ing fertilization. The two remedies are
rotation of crops and the use of fertilizers.
We might. he declared expand our re-
sources and add billions of dollars to our
national wealth by conserving soil re-
sources, instead of eXhausting them as
we have the forests and the contents of
the mines.
Mr.. Hill said that 37s per cent of our
people are engaged directly in agriculture
and that all the rest depends upon it. He
estimated that in 1925 the population in the
United States would reach a total of
about 190.000000 people and by the mid
die of the century at least 200 000, 600 peO-
ple, He continued.

A Common Asset.

Continuing, Mr.. Hill said in part:
In the movement of modern times
which has made the world commercially
a small place and has produced a solid
arity of the race such as never before
existed. We have come TO the point where
we must TO a certain extent regard the
natural resources of this planet as a COM
mon asset. compare them with demands
now made and likely to be made upon
them. and study their judcOus use. If
we fail to consider what we possess of
wealth available for the uses of mankind
and to what extent We are wasting a nat
ural patrimOny that can never be re-
stored. we might be likened to the direc-
tors of d company who never examine a
balance sheet
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1908-05-15

like present terms before the end of this
century and our industrial, social and po-
liticaI life must be readjusted to meet
the strains imposed by new conditions.
Now we turn to the only remaining
resource of man upon this earth, which
is the soil itself"

Exhaustion of the Soil.

Far more ruinOus," he said, because
universal and continuing in its effects, is
the process of soil exhaustion. 1t is creep
ing over the land from east to west. The
abandoned farms that are now the play
things of the cities rich or the game
preserves Of patrons of sport bear wit
ness to the melancholy change.
Mr. Hill said that the fact of soil waste
becomes startlingly evident when the rec
ord of some states where single cropping
and other agricultural abuses have been
prevalent is considered. In no other i'm
portant country in the world. with the
exception of Russia. is the industry that
must be the foundation of every state
at so low an ebb as in our own.

Remaining Public Lands.

Mr.. Hill went on to show that in 1906
the total unapprOpriated public lands IN
the United States consisted of 9S2,O00,OoO
acres.
OF this area the divisions of Alaska, Ari-
iona, California, Colorado, Idaho Mon

contained 1871, 100000 acres of surveyed
and 509, 900, 900 acres of unsurveyed land.

only for grazing or irrigation.

CRIME AND PUBLICITY IN FRANCE.

(From the Chicago Record HeraldD
In France the thugs and hold-up GRIM
mails are called Apaches, and their amaz-
ing boldncss has been the subject Of
grave discussion for some years. In Paris,
especially. the Apachcs have been nu-
mcrous and active, and many sensational
murders and ro,lbcr.e5 have been Gscr!b-
ed to them.
II Is the fear inspired by these Grim
,nals that has revived the public demand
for capital punishment In Frnnce. Heroic
remedies arc believed to be needful. and
the guillotirc Is one of them. Another is
found In an order issued by the minister
of Justice, the radical and socialist
BRAND, prohibiting tho police ana the
magistrates from giving the newspapers
unnecessary information concerning the
Apaches. No photographs are to be given
to reporters by the anthrOpometr,c de-
partment or tho police. 1t will not be pos
sible, either, to photograph the bodies OF
murdered persons or the scenes or hor-
rible crimes for the benefit OF eager read
ers OF yellow papers,
BRAND evidently shares the theory tina;
notoriety and advertising" breed crime
by suggestion and otherwise, and that the
less enterprisng criminals are filled with
envy at the "glorincation" OF the more
| da ring assassins and robbers and cmbold
| oned to emulate them.
This theory has adhcrents in othc,
| countries as well. and that 1t has
| large amount of truth will hardly be dc
MED by thoughtful students OF social psy
chology and criminology. They are more
! drastic in France In dealing with sensa
tionalism and exploitation OF crime thar
! In any other free country, ana mat ex
periment will be worth watching.
