SOILS NOT WEARING OUT.
Contain More Fertility than EUer
Before, Says Professor Uyhitney.
TFrom The Tribune Bureau. !

washington Oct. 3.-The popular notion which is
shared by many writer's that under long continued
use the worlds soils are losing their fertility is
disputed by Professor Milton Whitney. chief of
the soils bureau of the Department of Agriculture
He has just made public bulletin discussing this
question, and asserting that the soils to-day a
greater storehouse of fertility than they were
before. BY studies OF European records Dr. Whit
ney shows that the long cultivated soils OF the
leading nations not only producing greater
crops than at earlier period, but producing
much more than the comparatively soils Of
the United States.
For instance, the average wheat yields for the
ten years, 1Ss7-1a06, In the United Kingdom.
81 bushels acre; in Germany. % bushels; in
France nearly 20 bushels and in the United States,
not quite "A bushels He quotes statistics to show
that in the last twenty-five years the average
yields of wheat in Germany have increased from
IS 10 so bushels acre Of from 10 10 25 bush
els and OF oats from 2S to 90 bushels. the same
period yields have been decidedly increased in
France. Austria, Holland, Rumania and several
other European countries, while nowhere is there
any marked evidence of reduced fertility. Statistics
for longer periods are given and they all sustain
the writer's view
A study OF American crop statistics for the last
forty years shows that there general decrease in
yields Taking the country a whole, the acreage
yield OF wheat has increased nearly two bushels,
and the average yield of corn has declined onehaf
bushel in forty years. These statistics also show
that the older states whose soils have been longest
in producing the largest yields. The soils
of New England have materially increased in yields
OF and wheat IN forty years; but what is more
remarkable. they producing considerably heav-
Ter yields than the soils Of the Mississippi Valley
states. For instance, the forty-year average OF
Vermont for wheat 1872 bushels and for corn
81 bushels an acre, while the averages for Illinois
were only 13 bushels Of wheat and 80 bushels Of

NERVOUS BREAKDOWN.
Incapacitates Prof. w. H. Council, the
Great Educator-His Work.

After nearly half century of con-
scientious and effective work Prof.
w. II. Council, Phi D., President Of
the Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege for Negroes, located at Normal,
Ala, lies sick and nigh unto death
from a nervous breakdown, due to
overwork.
DR.. Council is of the old school.
He was born years ago in slavery and
is a practical, self-made man. The
only education he ever received was
of his own seeking, reading in his
miserable log hut by the light from
pine knots after hard days blowing
had been completed. OF all the hard
ships he has had to bear. and the dis
appointments he has had to face, this
sickness to him is like a living death
DR.. Council at no time was othel
than an optimist with regard to thu
| future Of the Negro.
He constantly called attention to thu
fact that Southern legislatures CAV
money, in proportion to their ability
for the education of the Negro, ant
every enterprise, every public and pri
vate school and church was aided b,
Southern money and good will, with
? out which, especially the latter, non
| could have existed.

TAETS INAUGURATION.

The inauguration of President OF
the United States is one of the great
est events in American national life.
1t is an occasion whose impressive
glory and grandeur keep pace with
the growth and greatness of the ma
ton. 1t is one that makes Washing
ton, the Nations Capital, the Mecca
toward which wend the steps of the
lofty and the lowly-statesmen, high
churchmen, men of letters, science
and art, soldiers, politicians and citi-
zens.
Next Thursday, March the 4th, Will
liam II. Taft, of Ohio, will take the
oath of office as the twenty-second
President of the United States. AS
is conceded he comes to that exalted
station better prepared, because of ex
perience gained from having filled
some of the most important diplo
matte positions of his country, thai
any man who ever occupied it. H
is a trained statesman, a distin
guish jurist, all of which will mos
likely make him a cautious and SAT
Executive whose administration vii
be wisely conducted.
Mr.. Taft has been preceded by som
of the ablest of American statesme
who have made enviable history fo
their country, and it is hoped that b
, will give to the country an admin
tration that will insure peace an
prosperity OF course, there will eve
/ be problems to solve, but if he use
: for their solution such principles

DR.. Councill was essentially dip
ldmat. A diplomat whose one sole
object was to advance the cause OF
the people of the South and contribute
to the progress of his race.
President Council was stricken with
nervous prostration about seven years
ago, but for some time was able to
guide and control the work of his in
stitution He had a very severe i'll
ness last April, since which time he
has been totally incapacitated. The
institution is now under the manage
ment of DIR. Hiram E. Archer, who for
number of years was Professor OF
Science, and a recent graduate in
medicine from the Meharry Medical
College. DIR. Archer was born in the
South, and like President Council, is
fully able to grapple with the perplex-
ing questions incident to Negro educa'
ton in the Southland.
He is at present called upon to look
after much Of the responsibility OF
running the institution and in this re
gard is rendering valuable service
DR.. Archer promises to be of the same
general character, following out the
policy adopted by it's illustrious found
err. The South is never loser in the
maintenance of such an institution
that teaches its students to follow the
even tenor of their own way, trying
in the best possible way to serve The
masses Of their people who must livt
in the South.
That the impress of the life ant
work of w. H. Council is firmly lief
, upon thousands of the Negroes of thi
Southland, and that its people, witt
one accord, appreciate his noble serv
ices and sympathize with him in hi
affection, goes without saying, AM
it is fitting that attention shall b
; called to his great service while he we
: lives. The South will do well to er
: courage all such Negro men in wha
ever efforts they may put forth to S
!. train Negro youths that they can, wit
ease and in good grace. fit in here an

LEST WE FORGET.
status,

Some effort was made some time ago
to get the Legislature of this state to
consider the vital need Of an indus
trial school for the colored youth.
There should be no let up in trying
TO impress upon the present Legis-
lature the necessity of making pro-
vision for the establishment of such
an institution. 1t is needed and
needed badly, and this fact is well
known and should be pressed for all
it is worth. Spasmodic efforts do not
count for much; it is the united,
steady and continued pull that moves
things or brings them to pass.
Are those who have undertaken this
task, as representatives of the people,
doing their full duty to accomplish
it? This inquiry is made not as an
intimation of any fast or loose playing
with the confidence reposed in them
by the people, but more as a sugges-
ton that the matter should be urged
at this present term of the Assembly.
There is nothing to be gained by de-
lay.
The Normal, Agricultural and Me-
chanical College Association is an or
ganization which has for its especial
purpose the memorializing of the Leg
islature to establish a state college or
school, where the youth Of the colored
people can receive that training and
instruction which will best prepare
them for industrial pursuits. The
state owes this much to its colored
population, inasmuch as it comprises
about a fourth of the states entire
population and is contributing a pro
portionate share of taxes or revenue
The grand old Volunteer State
through it's assembled representatives
is not likely to ignore this worthy
enterprise based upon the just and
sensible claim of it's colored people
1t is not likely that it will lag any
longer behind many of the othel
Southern States that have provided
state institutions for the industrial
education of their colored youth
wherein they may be fitted for intelli
gent and useful citizenship.
Let there be an intelligent concert
of action on the part Of those Wht
are representing the people, and let
strong memorial with reference tt
this much-need project be prepared
forthwith and presented to the AS
sembly. No lukewarm or half-hearte,
effort will materialize anything. Sucl
state institution is an urgent ne
cessity, and that fact ought to b
called to the attention of our legisls
tors in a sensible way.
