A writer in the Century Magazine
on THE Future Wheat Supply of the
United States" declares that wheat
farming in majority of the wheat
producing regions of the United States
is still carried on in slothful and
careless manner" continuous wheat
cropping destroying the soil produc-
tivity. 1T is to be hoped" continues
the writer, that the present wheat
lands of the United States can be
utilized for wheat production for many
generations to come; but this can be
done only by making wheat alternate
with other field crops in the scheme
of cropping, instead of growing the
crop continuously until the land must
undergo a period of renovation before
1t is again productive. If systems of
agriculture could be instituted on all
the soils of the United States in which
the grain, grass and cultivated crops
were alternated, the fertility Of our
soils could be indefinitely maintained"

clearer II you would draw line to

B at L. A has hours' start and is. 24
miles on the road when B starts. Hence
at 4 P. NJ. they arc 106 miles apart and
are approaching each other at the COM
bined rate OF miles an hour. Divide

they Will meet Is 1T hours after B

distance OF multiplied by Is II miles
from L., which shows a point on the
road 60 Al miles out of London. (2l
The second problem will be clear II
you Will draw the face OF n clock show
ing the minute hand at IL and the
hour hand at 5. as they stand when It is
s o'clock. Then notice that In order
Tor the minute hand to catch up with
the hour hand 1t must go the twenty
five minute spaces to reach and
also as far as the hour hand will have
gone on between 8 and g. If k the
number OF minute spaces. the minute
hand must travel one-twelfth as much,
or x12 will represent the number the
hour hand will go, seeing that 1t travels
Just 1-12 as fast Then Will be tho
number Of minute spaces after 10
to the point OF meeting and 1-12 of X
Will be the number OF minute spaces
after the 5 mark to the point Of meet
Ing. and the difference between these
Will be the twenty-five minute spaces
from IL to 5. Hence you will get the
equation, x12=x-25. or 12x-x=}3O0s
