The Soil Problem.

Wisconsin has IL ,240, 972 acres of i'm
proved land and IA, l9S,06S acres that
should be improved. 1t is tenet of
forestry that no land suitable for
agriculture should be kept under
forest. The hardwood lands of our
state are best suited to agriculture
and should be the first to be culti-
waited. Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota have only 81 to SO per cent
of their area improved, while the
four states adjourning. ON the south,
Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, have
- 20 81 improved.
James ]. Hill shows by statistics
that all agricultural lands in the
United States are decreasing in pro-
ductivity independent of location, of
soil. or of climate. 1T is the law Of
diminishing return due to soil de-
struction. Apply this to the country
at large, and it reduces agriculture to
the condition of a bank whose deposi-
tors are steadily drawing out more
money than they put in" In Wis
consin, experiments show that phos-
pilates, the most valuable soil con-
stituent, are rapidly decreasing, in
many cases 50 per cent of the phoS-
phoric acid has been lost and hence
crop Yields have decreased nearly so
per cent. The Netherlands produce
34.Is bushels of wheat per acre to our
IA; S3.l bushels of oats per acre to our
23.7: and 2S2 bushels OF potatoes per
acre to our 95.4. Wisconsin has the
double problem of conserving the soil
of its 40 per cent OF improved lands
and of utilizing its 60 per cent OF UNI
improved lands. With the present
high prices of all food supplies and

THERE is going to be square-toed
fight in the Tenth congressional dis
trict of Wisconsin between Congress-
man Morse, half-breed, and Assembly
man Hambrecht, stalwart, of Grand
Rapids. Congressman Morse, evident
ly, has thought that the progressiyes
were getting to be the whole thing,
for he has taken occasion to shout
from the hill tops that he is a pro-
gressive. Assemblyman Hambrecht,
has been lodging about and since
being elected to the assembly the con-
gressional bee has been buZZing about
his head His position on various
questions needed explanation and he
has written and published letters I'M
til he hardly knows where he stands
himself. His yerboseness will be his
undoing. Both Morse and Hambrecht
are men of mediocre caliber and
neither have the requisites of con-
gresham. There is this in favor of
Morse; Senator LaFoliette is preparing
to make the fight of his life to be re-
elected U. S. Senator. Up to this
time there has been no one brought
forward from the stalwart camp that
can defeat him. 1t looks as if he
were going to have his own way and
this will lay Hambrecht on the shelf
with hardly struggle.

Mengo L. Morgenthau. president OF the
Mirror Candy Company. who was indic'-
ed on September % for smuggling, pleaded
guilty yesterday. After W. Wickham Smith
his counsel, had made plea for lenencE'
Judge Hand allowed the withdrawal OF the
plea until tomorrow, when he will impose
sentence.
The wearing apparel and jewelry brought

praised at $1,000. Mr.. Smith said that there

Jewels which his wife had concealed ana
the watches he had in his own pocket MI
Wise said
Judge Hand said he would take a COUPE
Of days to look over the testimonials as 10

TRY TO COLLECT BACK DUTIES

Previous Declarations Are Verified.

Collector Loebs men are not satlsneo
with collecting duty on jewelry and other
articles bought this year in Europe, but

nand Forsch. returned from Europe yes

They told Inspector Seaman that the
various articles. with the exception OF the
watches. had been bought at Tiffany's Paris
store on the five previous trips which
they had made to Europe with Ferdinand
Forsch. They could not tell whether these
had ever been declared, as he had always
made out the family declarations.

after a hearing decided TO hold the jewel
ay temporarily until il could be ascertained
whether duty had been paid on them when

truth when he said he bought it in Chicago
before going over.
Mrs. Amelia Wikowska. of No. 1900 Wood

LEOPARD UNDER THE KNIFE
Bill Snyder Relieves Pain of
Central Park Cub.

With the memory of his achievements
with the lasso in the buffalo 1nclosure a
few days ago still undmmed, Bill Sny-
der the head keeper of the menagerie in
Central Park. unwittingly got corner
on the menagerie news yesterday by capt
uring a young leopard and performing an
operation on il. 1t is a sort of thing
Synder is occasionally called upon to do,
but it is not without its risks.
The cub leopard operated on was the
same one that got out OF its cage during
the summer For a month or more it has
been possessed of seven devils" and oc-
casionally a few more. Snyder has been
watching it's antics closely for two or three
days, and yesterday saw sweIlings on
either side of its throat. The operation fol-
lowed. but not until Bill had captured
the cub. of course.
Armed with an iron hook. with a heavy
canvas bag attached to it, the keeper
entered the cage. The leopard crouched in
the rear of the cage and only came out as
Snyder tried to slip the bag over its head.
That feat was accomplished after the
leopard had tried to spring upon Snyder.
the bag going over its head it jumped.
Once in the bag it was easy TO take il
to the hospital" in the hay house. But it
was many minutes before it's legs were
tied, and its head was securely held by an
other keeper. Three incfsions were made,
one on either side of the neck and one in
the roof of the leopards S mouth.
Some dainties will now be fed to the
leopard, such as pigeons and a few milk
punches. Later in the day the animal ap-
peared much better than at any time in
weeks, according to Snyder.
