ming and killed-one of those dreadful
instances of the sort of personal touch
with which lightning seems to select
its victim, for, though one child is re-
ported to have been thrown down, nei-
ther apparently was injured. There
are many instances, of course Of this
strange selection, due In most cases
probably to some accident of clothing.
There is well remembered case which
happened some years ago at Cam
bridge, when three young men were
walking across an open space Of
ground, and the middle one Of the
three was struck dead, while the 9TH
ers were untouched. The inquest
showed that the young man who was
killed had nails in his boots, whereas
the others were wearing boating shoes.

can possibly be. 1t is clear that every
one Of the many problems all over the
country can be better understood
where they are questions of the lives

Farm Conservation.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson said
in part:
The most important feature of farm
conservation is the soil. The farmer
prospers while the soil responds to his
work and yields good crops; he ceases
to do we'll when the soil refuses to re-
spond to his labor.
Manufactures increased and pros
pered greatly during the last half CEN
| tury because food was cheaper in our
country than in any one with which we
competed. Food is cheap no longer.
Population has increased faster than
production from the soil. A new soil
given to all who desired, was the basis
of our past prosperity. The soils OF our
older settlements were robbed and ne
elected in the east and in the south;
then had little or no attention. Rail-
ways were pushed into the Mississippi
valley where the glaciated soils were
so rich. so easily cultivated, and sup
posed to be inexhaustible. The gov
eminent policy of giving farms to the
people has exhausted the supply in the
regions where rainfall usually assures
| good crops. The mountain ranges hold
the snow and some valley lands are be-
ing irrigated which yield abundantly,
but only a small per cent Of land west
of the one hundredth meridian Is being
irrigated. So we have found our limit
atoms. Bread and meat are so dear
that employers Of labor are under the
necessity Of increasing compensation
that people may live.
Irrigation and dry land farming, new
bread and fodder plants, the growing
of sugar beets last year to make our
100000 tons of sugar, the prospects OF
using the carbon dioxyde of our atmos-
phere to make all our sweetening. the
to equal our consumption, the study
to equal our consumption. the stoudy
Of tobaccos of home growth to save
the nations money, the exploration OF
the old world for plants to increase
the food of the people and add it its
variety; these and a thousand other
activities that affect agriculture the
people read about and approve.
II our country is to grow and de-
velop as patriotic people hope we
must conserve the fertility Of our
soils, and the moisture that is precipi.
tated not only on our farms. but that
which falls upon the highlands and
now flows idly to the seas in all sec.
