The Rotation of Crops.

Crop rotation is coming to be recog-
nized as an important factor in profit
able farming. In some very simple
systems of rotation conducted at the
Minnesota Experiment Station, ST..
Anthony Park, difference of S13.43
an acre in net profit is shown between
poorly arranged cropping systems
and those that provide for a proper
system of rotation. Pasture and hay
crops judiciously distributed thruout
the rotation with the reasonable use
of cultivated crops invariably result
in greatly increased yields Of grain
and all other crops.
The Station authorities believe that
the farm revenues of Minnesota can
be raised at least rs per cent by a
rational system of crop rotation, but
as this rotation must be arranged to
suit each individual farm, it is not
possible to give system of rotation
that will be suited to all. Prof An
drew Boss, the agriculturist of the
Station of st. Anthony Park, who
has this work in charge, will revise
plans of rotations or suggest new ro-
tations free of charge upon receipt of
inquiries.

No Dreadnoughts Needed.

The spirit of militarism that has so
long dominated mems minds is at last
giving way. The great leaders of
thought and action of every nation
that is making progress upward are
by their influence giving impetus to
the world-sweeping movement.
Col. George Harvey, the eminent
editor of the North American Review,
said, recently, these words that ring
true and forceful:
Physical warfare is not the strife
decreed by the Creator. The strength
of a country is not measured by
armies and navies. Intelligence,
character, conscience, constitute the
true bulwarks of national welfare.
The schoolhouse at the corners is
more potent ultimately than Dread
nought of the seas. The little church
on the hill is worth score Of regi-
ments. Success in agriculture, COM
merce, and manufacture presages
certain triumph in war if the cause be
just During the scores Of years when
foreign peoples looked covetously
upon our rich inheritance and realized
the apparent weakness of possible
resistance, none ventured to land
upon, these shores. Think you one
would do so now when we are strong
aye, stronger in ultimate resources
than any one or two or three foreign
powers? Is it conceivable that in
these days Of enlightenment a ruler,
much less a people, would invite the
overwhelming reprisal which would
surely ensue from an unwarranted
attack upon or temporary victory over
any portion of territory shielded by
our flag? We need no mighty fleets,
no great armies for Or against foreign
enterprises only schools and
churches, as of old, for the elevation
of our citizens and the uplifting Of OPP
pressed human beings seeking the
shelter of freedom. Such, the Fathers
of the Republic and our fathers be-
lieved, was the true and holy mission
of this new people under the protec-

The School Garden Movement.

In taking up the study of plant life
in connection with public education
in this country, we shall only be fol-
lowing, and at some distance, the ex-
ample set by older nations. Accord
ing to Wallace r. Mason, who has
given much time and thought to the
subject, and has become thoroughly
qualified to discuss it, the development
Of the school garden idea has pro-
crossed so rapidly within a few years,
comparatively speaking, that every
civilized country is now practicing it.
Mr.. Mason tells how it was decreed by
law in Austria in 1869 tn at school gar
dens should be established in every
town, and how France and Belgium
quickly followed. In Sweden there
are now 5000 school gardens; in Aus
tria-Hungary the number is $4,000.
1t is encouraging, too, to learn of
the progress that the mo vement is MAX
ing in the United States. Washing
ton, D. c., it appears, leads in school
garden instruction.. Cleveland has
many and extensive gardens where
school children are taught to cultivate
all manner of plants. There are sue
cessful school gardens in Hartford,
Conn, in Hampton, Va, and in vari-
GUS towns and cities throughout the
country. Yet the movement is still in
its infancy.
Mr.. Mason quotes member of the
Massachusetts, Agricultural society as
saying that the school garden will
come to be considered as important to
the development of youth as the public
library, and commenting on this, he
remarks: 'It seems, indeed, as if the
garden training allies itself especially
with other school exercises. Again, in
a social way, it seems to bind more
closely the school and the home.''
The school garden is something
more than toy. The movement back
OF it is something more than fad.

they produce by their outbursts seems
to give them pleasurable sense of

altogether unlike the qualification
which cruder and more ignorant
people often manifest in finding them
selves heroes of some discreditable
scandal or sensational crime. They
enjoy the notoriety, even when they
must know, Or at least suspect, that it
is not to their credit. This charac-
teristic taints the reputation OF many
public men, who, except for it, would
rank high in the estimation of the
country, and some of whom, in spite
of it, have such other characteristics
as to win fair measure of respect.

Another newspaper 'Aoax" has been
born of the Roosevelt expedition into
South Africa. This time a Chicago
morning paper has it that the plague
of the tsetse fly has been brought to
this country. This "news" comes in
the form of Especial" from Wash
ington, D. G. With the special tariff
session of congress over and cable
tolls from South Africa rather heavy,
the correspondents at Washington are
being depended upon to hand out the
shot stuff. - They are lowering about
the Smithsonian Institute and tapping
the 'spipe" lines of news with a ven
geance.
The tsetse fly, famous for the ''sleep-
ing sickness is peculiar TO a small
section of South Africa which Roose-
welt has not yet approached by a
hundred miles. He has carefully
avoided it. Yet the newspaper fiction
lists at the Nations capitol have it
that rabbit skins have arrived with
other skins sent from the scenes of the
Roosevelt slaughter, which are filled
with tsetse fly eggs. These will hatch
unless prevented by science, the fly
will get abroad in the land and a
plague will be on, is the way the stu
alton is summed up. Here is the way
the problem is put up to scientific
America:
Whether the disease the fly carries
is hereditary and inherent in the fly
itself or whether, like the yellow fever
mosquito, it has to bite a victim of the
sleeping sickness to develop the infec-
ton in its body, is the problem con-
fronting the scientists. y
In the mean time Roosevelt is still
happy in South Africa with the tsetse
fly 100 miles away. His only grievance
is that public interest has been turned
to DR.. Cook and the North Pole.

Heavy Drains on Nations Forests.

''The total yearly drain upon our
forests, not counting losses from fires,
storms, and insects, is some twenty
billion cubic feet, says &. S. Kellogg,
assistant forester in charge of the
Office of forest statistics, in a publica-
tion just issued by the Forest Service
on THE Timber Supply of the United
States.n
ssOur present forest area of $50
million acres may beroughly estimated
to consist of 200 million acres of
nature forests, in which the annual
growth is balanced by death and
decay, of $50 million acres partially
out or burned over, on which, with
reasonable care, there is sufficient
young growth to produce in the course
of time merchantable, but not full
crop of timber, and 100 million acres
of more severely cut and burned over
forests, on which there is not sufficient
young growth to produce another crop
of much value.
s:Taken as a whole, the annual
growth of our forests under these
conditions does not exceed twelve
cubic feet per acre, a total of less than
seven billion cubic feet. That is, we
are cutting our forests three times as
fast as they are growing. There is
| menace in the continuance OF such
conditions. While we might never
reach absolute timber exhaustion, the
! unrestricted exploitation OF our forests
in the past has already had serious
effects, and it will have much worse if
it is allowed to continue unchecked.
''White pine, for instance, which
was once considered inexhaustible,
has fallen off seventy per cent in cut
since 1890, and more thar forty five
per cent since 1900. The cut of oak,
our most valuable hardwood timber,
has decreased sixteen per cent since
1900, and that of yellow poplar
twenty two per cent. The same story
will be told of other woods if they are
not conserved.
",The fact that timber has been cheap
and abundant has made us careless of
it's production and reckless in it's use.
We take $50 cubic feet of wood per
capita annually from our forests,
while Germany uses only thirty-seven
cubic feet, and France but twenty-five.
On the other hand, Germany, who has
learned her lesson, makes her state
forests produce an average of forty
eight cubic feet of wood per acre. We
have as fast growing species as Ger
many, or faster, and as good or better
forest soil if we protect it.
''The necessity for more farm land
may eventually reduce our total forest
area to 100 million acres less than it
is at present. 1t is entirely possible,
however, to produce on $50 million
acres as much wood as a population
much greater than we have now will
really need if all the forest land is
brought to it's highest producing ca
pacity and if the product is economic
ally and completely utilized. But to
reach the necessary condition of equil-
ibrium between timber production and
consumption will take many years of
vigorous effort by individual forest
owners, by the States, and by the
National Government. None of them
can solve the problem alone; all must
work together"
