several centuries. The soil is the
one indiyisible, immutable asset
that the nation possesses. 1t is the
one resource that can not be ex-
hausted, that can not be used up"
From the modern conception OF
the nature and purpose of the soil 1t
Is evident that 1t can not wear out,
that so far as the mineral food is
concerned 1t will continue automati-
eally to supply adequate quantities
of plant foods for crops"
AS national asset the soil is
safe as means of feeding mankind
for untold ages to come"
After he had cited these quotations
Professor Hopkins said: Can you
blame the fathers for continuing to
wear out their land when these are
the teachings promulgated from the
highest authority in the United
States? And these false teachings
are all the more damnable because
the common soil type on the ~aban-
doned farms in Maryland, only a few
miles from Washington, contain only
169 pounds of phosphorus in the
plowed soil of an acre, while the
richest black prairie soil of Illinois,
with a value of 5000 N acre, con-
tains more than 1900 pounds of
phosphates in the same stratum"
AS remedy for the rapid wearing
out Of farms, Professor Hopkins sug-
gests pulverlzed phosphorus rock to
be found on the public domain.

ALASKA COAL LANDS OVER
ESTIMATED. SAYS EXPERT


ningham Claim.
WASHINGTON. April 9.-The Bal
linger-Plnchot investigation dragged
along wearisomely with more testi-
mony about the alleged discovery of
"a missing letters among CLAWS
effects that had been left In the fed
eral building at Seattle.
The defense evidently is laying
great store by this discovery, and the
hearings for the past three or four
sessions have been given over almost
entirely to this subject. A mass of
documentary evidence was put In
while Andrew Christensen, CLAWS
successor as chief OF field division at
Seattle, was on the stand.
Attorney Brandeils, OF the ''prose-
cution," was admonished concerning
his method OF eross-examinlng by
Senator Sutherland.
Brandeis again complained OF the
delay of the interior department in
producing papers requested and he
asked that Instructions be Issued call
Ing for the production of the papers
at once. Mr.. Brandels attacked the
position of Secretary Ballinger,
which he characterized as "a remark
able reversal OF ideas" He declared
that at frst the secretary did not even
want counsel 'lest It hinder the CON-
mittee In It's search for the truth. I"
Afterward he employed counsel and
now was protesting against the pro.
ductlon Of papers he said.
Attorney verlrees In reply deelar-
ed that counsel for the prosecution
was fishing" because the main case
put In against Mr.. Ballinger had
failed in all its parts

tive Ollie james. amid laughter.
don't hurt unless you catch some
thing"
The discussion was ended by the
adoption Of a motion of Representa-
tive DENLY calling on secretary OF
the interior to produce all papers
called for by the committee with
all due speed"
Alfred II. Brooks. mineral expert
OF tho geological survey, took the
stand late in the day to testify re-
gardlng the value and extent Of the
coal resources in Alaska. II was evil
dent from his statement Of the case
that the value OF the coal fields had
generally been overestimated. Mr..
Brooks said the coal in the Katalla-
field. where the Cunningham claims

are located, Is probably not worth
more than half cent ton.

are located, Is probably not worth
more than half a cent a ton.
Mr.. Brooks said the total area of
Alaska is $4,000 square miles. OF
coal-bearing rock there are known to
be about 10000 square miles. Only
about One-tenth OF the coal area Is
made up of Ignite, or a very low
grade of coal. About one-flfth of the
territory has not been surveyed yet,
and the witness said there was every
reason to believe that in the northern
part OF the territory are some extern
sive coal deposits. These are not In
cluded in the $4,000 miles estimate.
Mr.. Brooks declared that II the
Alaska fields were opened It would
mean a saving to the. United States
navy OF at least $780, 600 a year. The
expert also said that the Chugach
forest reserve Is only about one-flfth
covered with timber. The timber
in Alaska Is being rapidly used up for
fuel purposes.
Don't glaciers make up most OF
the forest reserves2" asked Senator
Nelson amid laughter. "Yes." replied
the witness.
Alaska Is retrogressing, said Mr.,
Brooks. People are becoming dis
couraged and are leaving. This is
largely due to the coal situation.
Without coal there can be no rail-
roads. and without railroads there
can be no business to speak OF.
Up to this time the witness de-
ciared the coal supply in the United
States has been consumed only to
the amount OF four-tenths OF per
cent. leaving 90 6-1O yet to be mined.
Mr.. Brooks was still ON the stand
when the committee adjourned.

NEGRO is FAVORITE IN
LANGFORD-BARRY FIGHT
Is Scheduled for Twenty-Five Rounds
Tonight.

Is Scheduled for Twenty-Five Rounds
Tonight.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, April 3. -
Nothing to It," is the consensus of
the competent on today's fight at
Vernon between Sam LangfOrd, the
eolOred boxer, and Jim Barry, the
Chicago heavyweight. While the mill
is scheduled to last twenty-five
rounds, 1t is the general opinion
that the negro will take Barrys
measure in much less time. The fight
will be the ninth between Barry and
Langford.
Langford has two knockouts to
his credit over Barry, and has always
been able to hold the Chicago heavy
weight safe. Langford's easy victory
over Flynn makes the local fans
skeptical of Barry's ability to cope
with the Cave Man.
1t was Barry who asked for long
fight despite Langford's recent easy
victory over Jim Flynn. Langford
has beaten Barry several times, but
the white man. having the advantage
of height. reach and weight. as Flynn
also had. believes that he can over
come the Negroes superior general
ship in a battle of more than ten
rounds.
After this fight Langford will go
east to train for his six round bout
with Stanley Ketchel in Philadelphia
on April %. 1t is said that they will
fight at one Of the Quaker baseball
parks. where $4,000 persons can look
on. AS Ketchel will receive a $1O,-
600 guarantee, the promoters will
have to take in big money at the rate.
as Langford's share will be steep. and
the club certainly wants to cut up
some snug profits.
