That soils of the United States are
not wearing out and that the crop
yields are rather increasing than dim
inishing, is sought to be demonstrated in
a bulletin shortly to be issued by the
Bureau of Soils Of the Agricultural De-
partment prepared by Prof. Milton
Whitney, chief of the. bureau. The
bulletin deals exhaustively with the
yields of crops from 1866 to 1907, in
elusive, though omitting from the list
the two Dakotas, as during the first
ten of theyears named little was known
of this country from an agricultural
point of view and it was later that the
territory came into prominence as a
factor IN the worlds bread supply. !,

has been presented appears to justify
TWO conclusions, says Prot. Whitney::

LSOF KITTLE
FALLS COUNTRY.
E. R. D0wnie Back from the kittle Falls
Valley in Washington and Tells The 4 4
Tribune Something of That
Il Country's Present and ;,
... Future. -, i. i'

Ed. Downie and his family arrived
here about two weeks ago from Kittle
Falls, WASH, Ed. to look after his farm
interests and the family to enjoy a yis-
it with relatives and friends during his
stay. Mr.. D. was in the city last Sat
urday and dropped in to pay his respects
to his friend, The Tribune, and judging
from his conversation one could arrive
at no other conclusion than that him
self and family are we'll pleased with
their Washington state home. After
leaving here he purchased quarter
section of land not far from the town
of Kittle Falls, which he has spent the
past two years getting under cultiva-
tion, or at least part of it that way.
He says they raise all the m |
grains out there, but it is essentially a
fruit country, and Ed. says he knows
many men of family out there who are
making a very good living from five or
ten acres of land. The produce is ship
ped to British Columbia, and Kittle
Falls being not far from the line, the
cost of transportation is trifling, and
there they find good market for all
they have to SELL Raw land is selling
for from $50 to $3.50 per acre, while i'm
proved lands readily bring $400 to $500
per acre. He is located on the Colum-
bia river, and the whole region below
the falls as far south as the mouth of
the Spokane rivers distance of seventy
miles, has conditions that lead to the
prophecy that it will soon become the
greatest apple-producing section of the
Northwest. j. :. y..t 'r.@ So
The great drawback has been lack of
transportation facilities, but this has
now been overcome by the construction
of line of railroad, soon to be follow
ed by second line, which is now being
surveyed, and all feel that now every
obstacle to the growth of the country
both in population and material wealth
has been overcome and that in yeryshort
order lands will have reached valuation
anywhere from $500 to 81, 900 per acre
and they'll be we'll worth the price, says
Mr.. D.. Back from the river the valley
raises in a series of benches to height
of about 600 feet, and it is on this rich
bench land that Mr.. Downie selected
his fine 100 acres, than which he says
there is nothing better in all of Wash
ington state. The soil of all this region
is the volcanic ash SO typical Of the en-
tire Northwest. 1t has depth Of three
or four feet on the average, although in
some places it may be more shallow or
reach even to gfeater Depths and it is
underlaid by bed of coarse sand and
gravel having depth of from three to
ten feet, this in turn being underlaid
by bed of blue clay of many feet in
depth. If the region had no other re-
source than it's scenery it would be a
splendid place to live, says Mr.. Downie,

II In whatever have been able to do
I have tried at all times to be consist
ent; I have tried at all times not to
waste energy; ! have tried at all times
to build permanent foundation. In
the early days, in travelling about the
country, in looking ahead, to see where
we might build a railroad, sometimes
travelling in a blackboard and some
times on foot, I always carried a spade.
j wanted to see what the soil was. I
knew what the climate was, and with
soil and climate, I was not afraid to open
up the country, making it possible for
people to live upon the land, to culti-
&vate it and to make homes for them
selves. There is not so much good
land in the world as that which will re-
main desert. Remember this: From
the earliest settlements at Jamestown
and Plymouth Rock up to the present
time, we have had practically an un-
limited public domain upon which peo-
pie might spread themselves, u n
which surplus population might make
comfortable homes, most f it free
homes. z., III s.. ~
LANDS NOT PLENTY.
stBut let me say to you that our great
public domain is practically all gone,
and the time has come when we must
make better use of the land we occupy.
4 I am sure that the enterprise and the
intelligence of the American people will
be equal to the task; but if all men
select their own direction and move in
dependently Of all their neighbors, their
efforts might be likened to the: efforts
of a great mob instead of the efforts Of
\ a trained army led by intelligent lead
ers. Your work on the land in the. fu-
Eture must be done more in accord with
what experience has told US, has told
other nations and has saved older ma
tions from destruction: y
