Why Bread l. Dear.

Ihe demand Is creator than the
supply. We have reached the end of
our virgin wheat land; and our yields
are shrinking while our population Is
increasing. That is where conserva-
tion touches us practically; but we
need not worry. Nature is going To
take care OF things. Necessity will
punish us and remedy things in her
own way, if We do not mend our
methods. When wheat does not aver
age SO much an acre, it is not worth
raising. Now consider q moment
where this trend of things is leading
US. Do you know how long it took
England to mend her methods-to
raise her averages from twelve and fif-
teen to twenty-five and thirty and
forty bushels an acre? 1t took her al
most fifty years. In fifty years, what
population will we have to feed: Aud
We have not even begun to mend our
methods. 1t Is the supremely big
question of the day. Shall we act
now, and save ourselves national dis
aster or wait till necessity compels US
and then act! Compare agricultur-
al interests to any other national in
terests today! What were the total
from the farms OF the United
States last year? $1,000, 10000! Com
pare that TO the returns OF the forests
j, ,25O,OOO: and our farm averages
are not third OF what they ought to
be, Of what they could be made by
simple rational methods. Other coun-
tries have trebled and quadrupled
their yield. So could we.-James J.
