HOLDING NEW SOIL.
The Time to Begin the Work Of I'M
proving Is at Very First.

The time to begin to save and fer
tilize the soil is when 1t is new and
rich in plant foods Land which has
always been in forest or wild grass
and has never been broken by the
plow has high possibilities when
brought under cultivation. The soil
of such lands is full of the roots of the
plants which grew In 1t and the sur
face Is more or less covered with dead
vegetable matter. After the soil has
been plowed anu these plant remains
decay much humus is formed and good
crops can be grown.
New forest land Just cleared and
plowed does not as a rule produce
large crop the first season. But when
the immense quantity of tree roots in
the soil begin to decay and give up
their fertility the soil becomes very
fertile and will produce large crops.
The roots Of trees are very large and
penetrate the earth to great depths.
When they decay they not only leave
available plant foods in the soil but
leave deep openings in the subsoil up
which deep soil water may rise and
down which the roots of cultivated
plants can easily go in search of sus
tenance. 1t requires several years for
all of the tree stumps to fully decay,
but as they decay they gradually give
up fertilizing elements. BY the time
roots and stumps have all rotted on
new land the soil should be in its high
est state of fertility and none of this
fertility should be allowed to wash
away or otherwise go to waste. Some
people farm new land carelessly,
thinking that because it is now rich
that It always will be so. They Lurn
the trash on the surface and allow the
top soil to wash away without any
thought of the future.
Much new ground is planted to corn
| for the first three or four seasons.
These corn crops are cut for fodder
and the entire crop removed from the
field, leaving the soil bare If the land
b at all hllly, the top rich soil of
these new fields washes away during
the winter and early spring. This an.
I nual los of soil fertility Is very large
| anu uillNuil W icpldCSs lucIe 10 scr
dom any attempt to either save the
fertility or to increase It.
The richness of new ground, in the
opinion of the Journal of Agriculture
should not only be conserved but in,
creased as cultivation goes on
Manure and commercial fertilizers will
do as much, If not more, good on new
ground as they will on old ground
Commercial fertilizers should be used
only when there is humus in the soil
and In new ground, II anywhere. their
use Is to be commended. All refuse
vegetation should be saved and used
on new ground so that the supply OF
vegetable mould would be increased
rather than diminished. Instead oi
hauling away, or burning the stalks OF
a corn crop they should be carefully
plowed into the soil where they will
decay, hold the wash, and feed the
soil. In like manner, all remains OF
rotten stumps and roots of trees
should be covered with soil to decay
beneath It's surface
The"e is no rational need Of allow
ing new land to diminish in fertility
but very much need for 1t to increase
in fertility.

SOUTH DAKOTA CORN.
Yield Next Year Expected to Be 1oo,-
100000 Bushels

BrooMngs, S. D., Dec. 14.-That
South Dakota is forging 10 the front
as a great corn producing state is
shown by the fact that the crop for
this year reached 86,33eo00 bushels,
and it IS confidently expected that the
yield next year viii exceed 100000, 900
bushels
The interest in corn raising is not
confined 20 the farmers. The subject
is being taken up in the public schools,
and corn judging contests are being ar
ranged by county superintendent.
Contests have been held at De Smet.
Sioux Falls and Canton with gratifying
results The superintendent OF Brown
county had one at Aberdeen and other
counties are expected 10 follow. The
corn is judged by one of the assistants
Of the agronomy department Of the
state college, and an address is made
10 the farmer boys, upon the most
scientific methods to be employed in
selecting seed preparing the seed bed
and in cul.ivating the crop.
Eastern South Dakota and especially
Brookings county, will be in position
TO supply many parts of the west with
seed corn. and the farmer who garner
ed his crop right will be able to sell
seed corn al fancy prices. The demand
is already large and will doubtless in
crease as spring approaches.

FOR BROADER LAWS.
Secretary Nasel Would NatlonaIize
Corporate Life.

WaShin gton, Dec I3-The report Of
Secretary Nagel, of the department of
commerce and labor, just made public,
contains two very important recon-
mendations. The first is for the devel.
opment and advancement of the bu-
reau of corporations into an agency to
perform for the whole country what it
has been doing in special instances
Secretary Nagers recomm endations in
that respect suggest an agency to which
the management and condition of all
interstate corporations must be report
ed The need for knowledge concern
ing business secrets is realized. The
secretary draws the comparison that
the commercial and financial life of the
nation has become nationalized and
suggests that it is now in order to ma
tionalize its corporate life.
Another important mmendation is
made by Secretary Nagel in his report,
for broader and more efficient laws to
stamp out the white slave traffic. While
the present statutes prohibit the i'm
portation of women for immoral puT
poses, there is no law against trans
porting them from one state to an
other within the borders Of the coun-
try.
The secretary says it must be real
lied that the white slave trade is de-
veloped business and that tighter laws
are needed to enable the federal au-
thorities to fight it successfully.
Reviewing the work of its divisions
and bureaus. the report tells the his
tory of a year of progress in all di-
recfinnS

Chicago, Dec. 14.-Hogs opened about

ket little under the opening level
Last weeks average weight of hogs
is figured at only 216 pounds, against
21S the previous week and PA a year
ago, when light stuff was much more
abundant. This indicates how scarce
big hogs are, as pigs have been few
at the market. The run has carried a
lot of 1909 210-p pound hogs of the new
crop, suggesting that growers are dis
posed neither to assume the risk nor
the feed bill, incidental to carrying
them longer.
Cattle.
Cattle were slow, steers being almost
unstable at the start. Butcher cattle
sold 10 better advantage, but at no
time were they better than steady.
Sheep.
Sheep were slow and except for
prime sorts We're lower. Lambs were
steady on choice lots, but weak and ir-

NO COAL FAMINE IN SIGHT.
Railway Officials Declare Strike i.
Not Serious.

st. Paul, Mimi, Dec. 13.-Tte strike
of the switchmen was enkvened by
rumors of a Minneapolis coal famine,
and the report here that score of
the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen,
who have been among the striking
switchmen, would return to work to-
day.
A coal famine in Minneapolis is not
a matter to be feared, according to
railroad officials and the officials of
some of the largest coal companies
The managers Of the railroads quote
are being delivered.
1T is probably true that the rail-
roads are bringing coal into the yards
was remarked by one of the coal com
pany managers, i'but the trouble is to
find them and have them switched in
to orr wards"
General Sales Agent Smith, of the
Northwestern Fuel Company, which
has the largest number of yards in
the twin city, said there was positive
ly no danger Of coal famine either at
st. Paul or Minneapolis, and added:
The conditions are nearly normal
with us, and there is not the least
danger of anybody suffering from lack
of coal in either city. There is some
difficulty in Switching the cars into the
coal yards. But they are coming every
day"
Agents Of the state railroad commits
sion. who investigated the freight stu
alton in the twin city yards, reported:
THE companies are making every
efforts to keep less than carload mer-
chandise shipments moving, with fair
ly good results, but the amount of car
load freight handled is very much cur
tailed. Receivers are experiencing diff
ficulty in having carload freight prop
erly placed for unloading. but condi-
lions are gradually improving in that
respect"
