SOIL RICHES.
Wheat, 100000, 600 bushels.
CORN Q 00n 600 0Oa h,tshelS


Corn, 1900, 100000 bushels.
That is the estimate for this years
crop Of the two leading cereals of this
country.
Think Of $1,000, OO0, 900 bushels of
corn, 400,OOO,OO0 more than last year!
Local drought may cut the estimate
little but not much.
Add to this enormous output of the
fields the cotton crop, the oats crop,
the hay crop. the potato crop, the veg
etable crop-here is enormous wealth.
Moreover. 1t is stated authoritatively
that the crop of beef and pork and
eggs alone exceeds in value the bum
per corn crop.
Surely this is the land flowing with
milk and honey. And when your big
column of figures is footed up you
must add to soil production another
enormous item of wealth, the mineral
crop of America and Alaska. The
showing is calculated to provoke spec
ulation concerning the future.
What will be the annual output of
our soil when all our soil resources are
fully developed?
Intensive farming alone would dou-
BILE the product. Smaller farms and
better cultivation would produce won
ders
Besides
Millions of acres Of desert land are
being reclaimed by national and state
irrigation improvements Other mil
lions of acres of semiarid lands will
raise good crops by the scientific meth
DDS of dry farming" or moisture con
servation.
The time is coming soon when every
acre of land capable Of cultivation
may be utilized by scientific methods,
seeds adapted to soil and proper cul-
ture
Already lands once pictured on the
map as ''the great American desert
now blossom as the rose.
What will be the full story Of pro
duction when the great water powers
and the tides themselves will deliver
electric power over waves at trifle OF
cost?
Today in the west the owner Of .
power pillow can turn over virgin sol
by gasoline-kerosene power-at fue
cost of only 10 cents per acre.
But why prophecy? The story o.
present production is great enough
However
In such a rich country should an!
child 90 hungry to bed? In such {
country should there be SO much sur
plus wealth of the few?
AS a people we have solved the prob
lem Of production thanks to our IA
vored situation. We have vet to solv'
the problem Of equitable distribution.
