SOILS ARE NOT WEARING OUT
Crop Yields Are Increasing Instead Of
Decreasing.
COMPARISON OF CONDITIONS
Bulletin Issued by Bureau OF sOiI'
Discusses Rt Length Produc-
ton in United states and
Europe.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-Soils Of the
United States are nos wearing out and
the crop yields are rather increasing than
decreasing. These facts are demonstrated
In o bulletin shortly to be Issued by the
bureau Of soils of the Agricultural depart
ment, prepared by Prof. Milton Whitney,
chief of the bureau. The bulletin deals ex-
hanstively with the yields Of the crops
from 1867 to 1906, inclusive.
"A careful study of the data which has
been presented appears TO Justify two con-
clusions," says Prof, Whitney.
First, that the productivity of the newer
AGRICULTURAL soils Of the United States and
Of the older agricultural soils Of Europe,
taken as a whole and for the nation, are
not declining as is popularity supposed.
Individual farming deteriorates and soils
wear out, as they have always, but as a
whole It seems probable that we are pro-
ducing more crops per acre than formerly.
This Ia undoubtedly due TO many factors,
to better and more intelligent cultivation,
to more and better systems of rotation Of
crops and IN later years to the intelligent
use of fertilizers through measures Of con-
troll in the hands of every individual
farmer. In addition we must recognize the
increase in farm animals and stock, the
improvement in seed by selection and breed
ing and increased intensity in population,
which Is forcing attention to more intensive
methods.
Second, that so far as our information
goes, there is apparently no significant
difference at the present time between the
composition of the old agricultural soils
of Europe and the newer agricultural soils
Of the United States with respect to potash,
phosphoric lime, etc"
wheat In other Countries.
The bulletin shows an increase in all
cereal crops throughout the United States
for the last three or four decades. The
wheat yield per acre in Russia from 1883
to 1905, according to the bulletin, varied
several bushel per acre, In the latter
year It was "a bushels.
In Ireland the yield of wheat per acre
In 1888 was ESQ bushels and in every year
up to 1906 there was a constant increase,
when It reached the yield Of 34S bushels
per acre.
In Great Britain the yield of wheat in
1884 was 300 bushels per acre and there
was a slight variation of increase up to
1906, which brought the yield to BAT.
The wheat yield Of Germany was 1872
bushels In 1889. with a gradual increase to
1906, bringing the yield then to 3O.8 bushels.
The bulletin gives the following averages
by states for the production of wheat in
bushels per acre from 1865 to 1907:
