Careless Fnrming.

The present low average yield is in
some part due to careless farming,
but more generally to the fact that
land is cheap relative to farm labor,
The highest yields per acre are found
in the older Northeastern States
where land is relatively high in value,
and in the arid regions of the Wes,
where water. the essential, is scarce.
The soils are not. however, produc,
ing a half of what they should pro-
duce or what they will soon be re.
quired to produce If we would avoid
buying our foods elsewhere In the
future. The acreage of cultivated
land is increasing much more slowly
than the population and can never be
more than twice as great as at pres.
ent. while by the end of the present
century we shall probably have three
times as many people to feed as now.
The amount of our farm crops Is
than our population. An increase in
yield per acre is therefore impera,
tive. In that matter we are far be,
hind Western Europe. and as our
soils are at least equally rich 1t be,
comes a matter of care in the selec-
ton of seed of fertilzing, and OF
cultivation.

The most interesting point made
public through the report of the work
conducted during the summer and
fall by the Section OF Lands of the
National Conservation Commission, OF
which Senator Knute Nelson of Min.
nesota Is chairman, Is that the inven-
tory of natural resources has demon
strated that the soil OF the United
States as a whole Is not falling off
hut rather Is in most parts Of, the
country, If not actually gaining, at
least holding It's own. The report de-
clares, however that our agricultural
lands will soon be required to produce
at least twice as much as they do at
present I'm order to meet the Nations
demand for food Such an increase
in crop production is possible with
proper methods
Land Surface In United States.
There are i'm the United States
proper according to the report a trl.
flo less than 100000 square miles
of land surface, Of which a little more
than one-ffth is under cultivation.
About a quarter is covered with for.
ests and a smaller proportion with
woods, young growth and cut-over
land. With the exception of waste
lands and a relatively small amount
OF mineral lands, all the rest is graz,
ing land.
Some Of the most significant facts
brought out were the following:
Soils.
The soils Of the United States, as
by the yield Of crops per
acre. are not losing their fertility. |
Taking the country as a whole, nine
out Of ten counties are either holding |
their own i'm this respect or are gain,
ing in fertility This matter one. or |
the first in importance to the coun-
try, has been thoroughly studied from !
more than one point Of view, and the |
above statement is made with con.
fidence. Those parts of the country |
which are losing in fertility are main
Iy In the newly-settled regions wnero |
the farmers are drawing from the
original fertility Of the soil and are
not replacing it with fertilizers OF
the method Of rotation Of

SOIL IS NOT OETER|ORAT|NG, BUT

crop yield is the losses due to in
furious animals and insects, especl
, ally the latter. 1t Is estimated tha'
the losses to livestock, grain, etc, due
to injurious mammals exceed 100 mil,
lion dollars annually, most Of which
IS caused by wolves, rats and mice
The damage by birds Is comparatively
slight, and is far outweighed by theli
beneflcent work in destroying noxi,
Gus insects. 1t Is estimated by tho
Bureau Of Entomology that such in,
sects inflict damages in the average
year amounting to not less than $50
million dollars upon growing crops.
orchards, grain in storage, etc. Most
Of these losses are preventable.
MonOpollzatiOn of Lands.
There Is a tendency towards a
monopolizatlon of farm lands, taken
as a whole, which in certain sections
is marked, notably in the States west
Of the Mississippi River.
Among all the mineral lands, and
particularly the iron lands, there is
a marked tendency towards increase
in holdings, for economic reasons.
while among timber lands the prog,
ress towards monopoly Is decided,
largely for speculative purposes.
The Public Range.
The public range of the Western
States is estimated to be 800 million
acres in area. Upon this range it is
estimated that there are so million
cattle, and 40 million sheep. The
range IS in very bad condition, espe>
clally that part occupied by sheep.
owing to over grazing and trampling.
These ban conditions can be remedied
by an assumption Of control over the
range by its owner, the United States.
and the portioning out of It to stock
the country has been misued and
wasted almost as crlminally as the
forests.

\ somewhat similar paradox that was OF
T-lSrran ShanGv, who spent two wears writing
the events OF the first two days OF his HE. and
then complained that a. that rate he would
