which may be growing under harder,
though less productive conditions. Let
us use, for example, illustrations from
three important crops of the north

A Side Overlooked.
We are now rapidly learning that
there is one side TO this question that
has not been made clearly apparent.
In our eagerness TO look out or the
conservation Of the fertility Of the soil
and to assure ourselves that the farm
ers would make use OF all available
manures rather than waste them, we
have overlooked the important feature
OF the conservation Of the purity of the
soil and the maintenance of a sanitary
condition or crop growth. On the ma
tive prairies of North Dakota, and any
other of the new land areas, there are
certain native plants. They are the
plants which there represent the sur
vival OF the fittest under such condi-
lions. They are there because their
roofing capacity and their structure
and their physiology is such that they
could survive and reproduce their kind.
When these lands are thrown into Gull
tivation, there enters an element with
which the native plants are unable to
compete. Such plants therefor, sell
dom, il ever, amount TO anything as
weeds They disappear before the
planted crops and the ordinary meth
DDS of cultivation necessary to the
production Of our cereals, corn or
other cultivated crops. With them pass
out of existence any Of the true para
sites which belong naturally with them
and which for countless ages have de-
veloped upon them. These plants. and
| their parasitic foes, tend to become a
thing of the past in any given farming
community, and are supplanted by the
| cultivated plants and the weeds and
| the parasitic growth, which are intro
duced by man and his working pro-
| cesses. The worst weeds, therefore,
which prey upon agriculture are those
which are introduced by the careless
farmer and associated workers who
deal with the crop which he produces.
| These introduced plants or weeds are
those which for long ages have learned
/ to live under careless cultivation con-
ditions as represented by the ordinary
| farm crop For example: Common
mustard, Canada thistle, dandelions,
etc. Though perhaps the crop output
of the United States is cut down as
much by weed growths as by any other
destructive element to farming, 1t Is
not with reference to this phase of the
preservation of the purity of the soil
that we need TO be deeply concerned.
| The remedies are too simple and APP
parent to arouse any fear OF ultimate
success in our conflict with them; but
with infectious diseases, the fight for
control is more difficult as in the case
of a fight against any unseen foe.

come also the parasites which prey
upon them. There Is no one crop

definite types OF diseases caused by
the growth of minute plants or other
organisms upon Or within the tissues
of the cropping plants; and, am now
ready to assert without fear of final

soils Of the northwest have become sc

Soil and Seed Diseases.

/ believe, gentlemen. that soil and
seed born diseases have been the agen-
cies which have vitiated the concIu-
sions of many well planned fertilizer
trials and Of many a well planned ro-
tation. IL I am correct, is ii any
wonder that ordinary farmers have
failed to appreciate and permit In
carrying out the best plans of agricul-
ture. This phase OF the question of
the conservation of the productivity Of
| the soil, the maintenance Of disease
! free soil, believe has not had proper
attention, either from scientists or
| from the growers 1t is my belief,
after persistent experiment, that most
soils are far more capable of produc-
| ing the average farm crop than has
I been credited, when looked at from
the standpoint of the chemist Most
OF our arabic soils, especially on the
great prairies, have been In the max
ing for thousands Of years. Crop after
crop of wild plants have died and dis
integrated and become Incorporated in
the soil before the land is finally set
tied upon. broken up and placed into
cultivation. When the new soils are
first put into cereal crops there Is
usually bountlfuI harvest of grain of
the plumpest, most desirable type.
This is well illustrated In the flax crop
and wheat crop Of the northwest. In
some cases, but few years have in
tervened when 1t lis evident that the
quality Of wheat upon these new soils
has rapidly deteriorated. The yield.
for example, in the Dakotas ranging
at first from Is to 30 bushels OF good
plump No. quality. so to 81 pounds
to the bushel, soon falls to a yield Of
1915 to is bushels OF snrivelled or light
weight grain Of As to IS pounds per
Il bushel.
When the farmer has asked the
cause of this and wondered IL the cli-
mate had changed, or whether the
grain had run OUT as to variety, the
scientific men. chemists and agricul-
turists and biologists havealike in
formed him that II Is, but matter to
