most reached a point where, owing to
increased population without increas-

food supply will be insufficient for
our own needs; within ten years, pos

age of the population engaged in agri-
culture and the wheat product per
acre are both falling; at the same
time cost of living Is raised every

bread, by artificial increase in the
price of all manufactured articles,
and by a habit of extravaganza which
has enlarged the view Of both rich
and poor of what are to be considered
the necessaries of life. These plain
facts should disturb and arouse not
only the economic student but the

but it is also notoriously ineffective.
Our wheat product per acre from the
older lands falls steadily. Our ma
tional average Is less than half that
OF England or Germany, both OF
which have soil inferior to our own.
Only by bringing rich new land un-
der cultivation have we prevented the
fall from becoming abrupt. Good
farms in the Mohawk valley in New
York state forty years ago were worth
from 500 to $3.50 per acre; now
many are sold at from $25 to $50.
This is not because wheat has become
cheap, for it is dear; not entirely be-
cause Of western competition, but be-
cause there is neither good cultiva-
ton nor enough cultivation. The
younger generation throngs the
cities; and the land, rented by its
owners to tenants careless Of every
thing but immediate profit, is abused
and robbed of its fertility. In New
York state 10000 farms are for sale.
The southern central portion shows
progressive loss Of population. II
anybody imagines that this process
Of exhaustion and abandonment Or
transfer to other uses is peculiar 10
the east, let him look at Iowa, whose
average wheat crop in the five years
1SS3-S7 was 2s,682,56O bushels, and
in the five years 1904-08 was 1876
4SS bushels. In 1908 1t was $685.
900.
"All this has come about notwith-
standing economic changes favorable
to the occupant of the farm. The
perfection OF our transportation sys-
tenn has made a market accessible to
every farmer. and carries his pro-
duce at the lowest rates in the world.
His life has become more comfortable
and desirable. But the increased
cost of living bears most hardly upon
him, while 1t entices his children to
the centers where they think that
the larger income now found neces-
sary may be won more easily. And
while the enhanced price Of grain
may induce him to enlarge his wheat
acreage, 1t does not lead him to more
careful tillage.
"You deal with wealth in its most
and universal form. That
wealth Is the slow accretion of many
centuries. 1t changes it's form and
with wonderful facility;
but, so slight at all times Is the mar
gin between the worlds production
and its consumption, that its savings |
have been acquired almost as slowly |
and painfully as the miser's hoard. |
Practically only a few months lies |.
a universal cessation Of pro-
1uction and the destruction Of the
human race by starvation. The |
diversity of modern indus
.ry and its products blinds us to the |
bare simplicity Of the situation. |
Those who, like you. are main fac
,ors in supplying to industry the
means to carry 1t on, who open up
he main and lateral channels |
through which the fertilizing stream |
Of capital may be turned upon the |
barren field Of labor, |
should be always mindful Of the |
first great source and storehouse of |
national wealth, and the most sensf- |
tive whenever it is depleted or en-
iangered."

Greek letter fraternites gained a
favorable decision over the Adrian
(AIich.) board of education, when the
Lenawee County Circuit Court de-
cided that high school pupils could
not be expelled from school for refus-
ing to sign a pledge not to be men,
bers of secret societies. AS this was
the first case under the Michigan law
forbidding fraternities in public
schools, Attorney General John E.
Bird was called into the controversy,
and he declared that the Board of Ed
ucation had no power under the stat
utes to eXpel Wallace Hook, who
brought suit after he had been en-
cluded from school for refusing to
sign the pledge. After the case was
lost by the board it passed resolu-
