instead of picks to extract nitrogen,
phosphorus, potassium, almost W orth
their weight in gold to any farm, from
the depths of the earth.
The same railroads carry the farmers
''gold" to market that transport the
miners ore.
By continued cropping soils will be-
come depleted of fertility just as surely
as mines are exhausted of ore by con-
tinued working. History furnishes ex-
amples of abandoned farms as well as
abandoned mines.
The farmer of the future must be ed
ucated. The best way to insure our
soils proper management in years to
come is to give the farm boy of today a
good education in a college of agricul-
ture.

BEAVERS BACK In
NORTH DAKOTA
Energetic Little Animals Cutting Do wn
Large Trees and Construct Eight
Dams Between Burlington n.
and Des Laos.
(Minot independently

80 (Minot independently t
]. The beavers are coming back It o
North Dakota. Old timers tell us that
the energetic animals were numerous
along the Mouse and Des Lacs rivers in
the early days, but left when the dry
weather came. There are eight beaver
dams along the Des Lacs river between
Burlington and Carpio. The beavers
are telling the trees along the banks at
rapid rate, often cutting down trees
that are, as large in diameter as stove
pipe. Old timers say that the large
number Of beaver dams is a sure sign
of dry weather. The animals always
take precautions to hold back the water
when it is needed, and their instinct
seldom fails them.
The farmers who reside along the
river are protecting the beavers and
woe be unto the hunters who capture
any Of them. There is a strict law in
this state protecting beavers, the fine
being $25 for the first offense with a
Jail sentence attached.
Old time hunters used to make good
money trapping the beavers, as their
hides are worth good deal of money
and it is said their meat is valuable for
food. To secure a large, tat beaver
meant a feast for them for week.

WiIhelm's Popularity.

The, Kaiser has o only kept, but
clinched, his hold upon the interest and
imagination of the world. Heis today,
as he was 20 years ago, the most talk
ed about man in the universe. People
differ about him, but no one is indiffer-
ent to him. No event, however drama
tic and unexpected, no personality,
however many-sided and compelling,
has been able for more than moment
to rival the supreme and jnexhaustible
fascination of his character and actions.
When other excitements have passed
away, the abiding excitement Of the
Kaiser has remained. He has won the
applause of the world, and its derision;
he has amazed it, amused it, repealed
it, scandalized it; but he has never fail
ed to interest it. A strong son of the
strongest, most tenacious, most intelli-
gent and successful ruling house that
the world has yet produced, the sover-
eign of state that after centuries of
disunion now dominates the Continent
by the laboriously disciplined might,
virility, and mental alertness of it's peo-
pie, and monarch in whose highest
word and most casual deed there is ap-
parent tingling indi7iduality-William
II. is easily the outstanding figure of
our time-Sydney Brooks, in July Nc

VAST IMMIGRATION Il
TO SOUTH AMERICA
European Countries Turning Their Faces
Toward South America With the Result
That Countless thousands Are Now
Finding Homes There.

Brazil in one year received about 100,-
900 immigrants, Uruguay absorbed 40,-
600 to 10000, Chill has immense num-
bers of Germans filling up the southern
section of the country, and many towns
south of the longitudinal valley are as
completely German az similar towns in
Wisconsin. In Brazil there are 1,000,-
600 Italian settlers in the state of Minas
Geraes, where much of the coffee is
grown, but in addition this state has
abundant unoccupied land, which is dis
tributed to the newcomer for home
building. San Paulo, the richest state
in Brazil, has more Italians and Ger
mans, but the state of Rio Grande do
Sui, together with t h e less thickly
populated. states of Parana and Santa
Catarina, are sometimes called Little
Germany, so thickly strewn are the
villages of the 500, 900 German colonists.
In Uruguay much of the farm labor
is done by Italians, who take to agri-
culture, leaving the cattle industry to
the tougher native gaucho. Argentina
has often received over 200, 200 immi.
grants year. These come from Spain,
Italy; Portugal, Germany, Austria, or
even Syria, in everincreasing numbers.
Some of them go back to their own
land after a years work in the harvest
fields, but very many of them remain
permanently to occupy and develop
with European thrift the outlaying
acres towards which the newer rail-
roads are stretching. rs
All over this great Southwest are
hundreds of colonies founded by the
self. interest or philanthropy of Europe
an men of affairs or theorists. Baron
Hirsch has successfully established in
community existence several colonies
of his otherwise helpless proteges. Of
the seven million inhabitants, which is
about the total Argentina may report in
a census at the end of her hundred years
of independence, more than one half
are of south European origin; many of
these have arrived within the last two
but all have found homes
in a new land, and are proud to enroll
themselves as citizens of an American
republic. They form good citizens,
too. Albert Hale, in the American
Review of Reviews for May.

PRICES OE FOOD
.: ,, BACK In 1923
An Old Journal Contains Figures That Will
: be Of Interest to Everybody Today as
u Showing Difference in Food Prices
Now and Back in 1928.

That prices of food in Cincinnati were
not always as high as they are now is
the testimony of little musty volume
of poems and facts compiled by Moses
Guest, who came to Cincinnati from the
East in 1923, and when he got here took
careful note Of many things he saw, in
cluding the market. He jotted his OBJ
servations down in his journal, which
was later published by LOCKER & Rey-
nolds, Of this city. The journal was
resurrected by Philip Hinkle and this
interesting bit of Information culled
from its pages:
Markets in this (Cincinnati) city
are abundantly supplied with the best
kinds of meats and vegetables. Beef,
mutton and veal sell for. from 2 to
cents pound; pork from II to q cents;
butter, l2a to 18a cents; cheese, 6 to 8
cents, and eggs, 4 to 10,cents per doz.
Wheat flour costs from $1.25 to Its
per hundredweight; buckwheat costs the
same; cornmeal, 18a to 25 cents per
bushel; wheat 45 to so cents; corn, l8a
to Is cents; oats from 12a to l8s cents.
Chickens sell fsor.10 tos25 cents per
pair; turkeys for 3 to cents per pound;
potatoes, Is to 81 cents, and turnips,
18a to 25 cents per bushel."
The same little journal states thatthe
Cincinnati water works were operated
by horses and that the really astonish-
ing thing about this town was the nine
story steam -four mill on the river front
with walls from nine to ten feet, thick
and having capacity Of $1,000 bushels
This might well be compared with the
elevator now at Lawrenceburg, 18 miles
down the river, the capacity of which
is the modest amount of 500, 900 bushels.

CROPS DECREASING:

Condition Of Affairs Taking Place That

History Of the

(Farmers and Drovers Journal

4. (tarmerS ana UrOVerS J0urnaU
The population of the earth has in
creased to such an extent that alread,
man feels the scarcity of land. 1t cal
be truthfully said that very small por
tion only remains Of all the arabic land OF
the surface of the earth not now eithe
under actual cultivation or being pre-
pared for tillage.
What does this mean?
Nothing short of this: As there is n,
more virgin soil to "mine," the lant
now under cultivation must be so man
aged that it will produce more abund
antly than ever before.
7 A revolution m u take place ir
the methods of crop production and sol
culture; the population of the eartl
must cease to increase, or people mus1
stop eating. Man must take his choice
either farm better or cease to live and
produce his kind.
There was no incentive for the pioneer
farmer to take account of soil fertility.
His land was like hugh safe overflow
ing, with plant food elements.
. Nature for ages and ages contributed
to the fertility of the soil. Grasses
grown thereupon had collected nitrogen,
oxygen and carbon from the air and,
dying, had spread over the surface of
the earth veritable blanket of humus-
making material.
Nature undisturbed abundantly pro-
vides those things crops need.
Things changed when man came upon
the earth.
The most important problem for the
future farmer will be the maintenance
of soils.
Why? Just this: Whatever fertility
was removed from the soil before the
advent of man was Immediately restor-
ed when the plants which grew upon
that land and the animals which ate
those plants died. Nothing taken from
the soil was removed. ''7
How different today!
A large crop of corn or wheat removes
from the soil great quantities of plant
food, which are transported to far dis
,tant lands. 1y.2 IA i .9> IS 80. -, =
In other words, the typical farmer of
today is nothing more or less than a
miner, who uses corn and wheat plants

ROOSEVELT REPEATS IT
That Dix Has Been Trust Director for
Eighteen Months.

Binghamton. n. Y, Oct 25.--The
study Of scientific farming at close range
kept Theodore Roosevelt busy most Of
the time yesterday He rode 80 miles
In an automobile TO inspect abandoned
farms Of this section of the state, be-
ginning at Ithaca and ending at Bing-
hamton, and decided that farmer who
goes about it in the right way, can
make good living from land which is
now going TO waste.
Colonel Roosevelt also found time to
keep things stirring politically, making
three speeches for the Republican state
ticket. The new point which he EN-
phasized in these speeches was in his
declaration that John A. Dix, Dem
ocratic candidate for governor had been
u director of the so-called wall paper
trust for IS months in spite Of Mr.
Dix's statement Of last Saturday to the
contrary.
Colonel Roosevelt talked politics at
Ithaca in the morning, 0swego in the
afternoon and at Binghamton last night.
lie also made speeches at Newfield,
Vanetten, Spencer. and Candor in which
he said not a word of politics. He
talked on the subject of good citizen
ship.

From Roosevelt on the Wal
Paper Trust Statement
is VERY MUCH INCENSED
Even If 1t as an Involuntary Misrepre-
sentation," Roosevelt Owes 1t to
Him to Apologize as One Cen
tleman to Another.

Albany, Oct. 25. Repeating with re
newed emphasis his previous assertion
that he is not and never has been con
nected directly or indirectly with any
wall paper trust as alleged by Colonel
Roosevelt, John A. Dix, Democratic
nominee for governor, in statement
last night, demands from the former
president "the apology which one gen
tleman owes to another for even in
voluntary Misrepresentation"
While in Albany yesterday in attend
ance at the funeral OF David b. Hill
Mr. Dix was shown q report of Colonel
Roosevelt's speech at Ithaca in which
the colonel declared that for Is months
Mr.. Dix was director of one of the
companies in the so-called wall paper
trust notwithstanding the statement of
the Democratic nominee last Saturday
70 the contrary.
Following a conference of Democratic
leaders after the funeral, Mr.. Dix is
sued his denial of the colonel's asser-
tions. He said; 81 repeat now and
with all the emphasis at my command
my previous assertion that / am not
connected directly or indirectly with
any wall paper trust; never owned d.
rectly or indirectly any Of the stock Of
securities OF the Standard Wall Paper
company, which was a defendant in the
action tried before Judge Lurton
I'm February, 1909, when the SUI
preme court Of the United States hand
cd down the decision referred TO by
Mr. Roosevelt the Standard Wall Pa
per company, which was one of the de-
PENDANTS referred to had been already
FIVE years out of existence, and with
that Standard company | never mad
any connection.
Il own, as an investment, 81 shares
of stock out Of a total Of 1900 issued
shares of the present Standard Wall
Paper company and | make no apology
for such ownership. The business Of
the company is done in the open market
IN competition with the whole world
and with due regard for the rights Of
the stockholders and of the contented
labor employed by the company in the
mills which it operates.
In order finally to settle all ques-
tions Of this kind, I desire to say once
for all, that am in no way connected
with any company which is directly
or indirectly part of or interested in
any trust or combination.
"Tnis whole business affords another
example Of the reckless manner in
which the former president of the United
States misuses the great standing which
lie acquired By his election to the presi-
dency to misrepresent those who oppose
him in any way; and while ! am char.
table enough to assume that be may
have been led to make these reckless
and ungrounded charges by false reports
made to him by those surrounding him,
j now demand, as one American citizen
Of another that he make to me for this
Misrepresentation, the apology which
one gentleman owes to another for even
involuntary misrepresentation"
