AFTER SEC'Y.WILS SON

OUT THEIR SOIL.

llama Jim" An Unscien-
tific Man.

Chicago, l.-Characterizing the
teachings of Secretary James Wilson
as "damnable,'' "abominable" and dis
graceful" Prof Cyril G. Hopkins or
the University of Illinois delivered
singing criticism of the department of
agriculture here in an address at the
City Club. Prof. Hopkins dismissed
the secretary himself from his con-
sideration by simply saying:
He is an unscientific man"
Here are some direct quotations
from Secretary Wilson cited by Prof.
Hopkins as "abominably false"
practically all soils contain suffi-
cient plant food to produce good crop
yields; this supply will be indefinite
ly maintained"
Possesses Ample Resources"
$50 far as the present outlook is
cerned, the nation possesses ample
resources in it's soil for any conceiv-
able increase in population for several
centuries"
The soil is the one indestructible,
immutable asset that the nation pos
sesses. 1t is the one resource that

used up"
From the modern conception of the
nature and purpose of the soil it is
evident that it cannot wear out, that
so far as the mineral food is cncerned
it will continue automatically to sup
ply adequate quantities of plant food
for crops
CAS- a national asset the soil is safe
as a means of feeding mankind for
untold ages to come"
Can You Blame Him?
After he had cited these quotations.
Prof. Hopkins said:
Can you blame the farmers for con-
tinuing to wear out their land when
these are the teachings promulgated
from the highest authority in the
United States? And these false teach
ings are all the more damnable be-
cause the common soil type on the
abandoned farms in Maryland, only a
few miles from Washington, contain
only $50 pounds of PHOSPHORUS in the
plowed soil of an acre, while the rich
est black prairie soil of Illinois, with a
value of $500 an acre, contains more
than 1000 pounds of PHOSPHORUS in
the same stratum"
AS a remedy for the rapid wearing
out of farms, Prof Hopkins suggested
pulverized PHOSPHORUS rock, such as
is to be found on the public domain

OLDEST WOMAN IN THE
STATE PASSED AWAY.

The oldest woman in all this part
of the country was laid to rest Sun
day afternoon in the cemetery imme-
diately back of the M. E. church at
Sabula. The remains were those of
Mrs. Elizabeth Shoemaker, who was
born August Q, 1906, and who died
last Friday night, December 16, about
midnight, at the home of her son,
with whom she lived for many years,
on a little farm near Narrows Creek,
about three and half miles from Du-
Bois and two miles from Sabula.
Mrs. Shoemaker had been dropsical
for several weeks, and owing to her
great age, of more than 104 years, she
rapidly weakened and with the ebb
of vitality her heart ceased to beat.
At two o'clock Sunday afternoon
the funeral party left the house and
arrived at the church about three
o'clock. A large congregation had
already assembled there, and when
the services began the church was
filed beyond its normal seating ca
pacity, Rev. Mr.. Shingledecker, pas
tor of that congregation, delivered the
funeral address and cited incidents oc-
curing in the life of the aged lady
during the years of his acquaintance
with her. Ten years ago the minis
ter was stationed on the same charge
and became quite we'll known to the
old lady. Returning recently he
was called to see her just before she
died and to show her mental clear
ness up to the last he related how
quickly she recognized him on simply
hearing his voice in an adjoining
room.
Mrs. Shoemaker's burial place is at
the rear of the burying ground, far
thest removed from the public high
way. An improvement on the loca-
tion was afterwards discussed by
some Of those In attendance. The
idea advanced as better one was to
have the burial place of this woman
noted for her great age next
to the public highway, where a sub
stantial monument could be placed in
her honor which would be observed
in passing without leaving the high
way. Not often do people see a
person who has lived beyond CEN
tury, and yet less frequently do they
have an opportunity to note where
one who was granted such exceptional
distinction as Mrs. Shoemaker was
finally laid to rest. Mrs. Shoemaker
has become permanent figure in
local history. There is more than a
family interested in the accessibility
and permanency of her burial place.
