SECRETARY WILSON SAYS TALK OF
SOIL EXHAUSTION IS EMPTY SCARE

soils fail to show that the longer oc-
cupation of the soils of Europe has
changed noticeably the mineralogical
character of the soils. It is reason
able to infer from the work that has
been done that within historic times
the occupation of the soils for agri>
cultural purposes has failed to no.
ticeably change the mineral character
of the soil material upon which the
future life of the nation must ulti-
mately depend. The reasons for this
and the laws of nature which permit
the soil thus to be continuously occu-
pied and used for mankind as freely
as the air are complicated and diff
cult to understand, and offer profit
able field of research for our agri-
cultural colleges and experiment sta
tions
while this satisfactory solution of
this main question is hopeful for the
nation, nevertheless individual farm
ers fail, and individual farms run
down through neglect, lack of intelli-
gent cultivation, and lack of know
ledge as to soil adaptions and methods
Of control. So far as can be observed
at the present time, cases of failure
on the farm are due to individual ne
glect or misjudgment. Such injury
as has resulted to the soil in such
cases may be remedied by change of
ownership, or by more intelligent
methods of control. and is therefore
not fundamentally due to the soil it
self, but to the people who have work
ed the soil. This is a condition which
can be improved either through force
of necessity, as it has been in the case
of Europe in the past, with increasing
population and greater necessities, or
through education and force of intel
lect, utilizing the advance knowledge
which now prevails alike in Europe
and America

sworn statements Of the mayor of Con-
