stin Back to the Farm.

James ]. Hill is determined that
If the people do not take advantage
of the opportunity offered to get rich
in farm lands it shall not be his fault.
In a recent magazine article he max
es the prediction that in SO years
from now, that is. within the ac-
tive lives Of our children, there will
be in this country a population OF
200, 10000 of people and he ex-
presses a belief that unless better
methods of production and smaller
farms become the rule there will not
be enough produced to feed these
people. ~
About the only exception that can
be taken to this statemen is to his
estimate of the number of people,
and in that he is. if anything. too
low. 1t would not be surprising II
there would be nearer 275,0OO, 900
or 800, 10000 people. The. figures
he gives would indicate that the pop
ulation would not much more than
double in the coming so years 1t
will do much more than that unless
it should be found that our farms will
not produce enough to feed the peo-
pie that live upon them and that
congregate in the cities.
There is little reason for fear,
however. There is the best of reason
for believing that farms must be di-
vided and sub-divided into smaller
units; that men must raise their
families upon just sufficient acres to
enable them to produce all they con-
sumo with just little more with
which to buy the necessities which
they cannot produce. and the lux
uries that all American families will
demand for all time to come, be-
cause conditions here warrant that
demand. and to assist in feeding those
who live in the cities.
There is no more favored section
and no better in all America than
sunny southern Idaho for these hold
ers of small tracts. How heads of
families are to get established on
these small farms is another ques-
ton, but they will become so es-
tablished in some way.
Irrigated southern Idaho, because
of the greater fertility of its soil. be-
cause of its greater productveness
and because of the absolute certain
ty of that productiveness and be-
cause of it's desirability as a resi-
dence section. will be a favored spot
in this race for land. for homes, and
for wealth-real, satisfying wealth.
In the course of the next 25 to so
years many thousands of acres not
now under cultivation in this state
will be covered with water and will
be occupied and cultivated. It will
be upon the great irrigated country
that America will depend for its food
supplies.
Idaho may view with the utmost
confidence the growing demand for
farm lands Knowing that It has ideal
conditions to offer as Inducements.

DRAINAGE FOR LAND
Subject of Great Importance to Land
Owners Throughout Idaho.

The necessity of draining irri-
gated lands has become apparent,
not only in every section of our own
arid west. but in every country
where irrigation is Dracticed. India
and Egypt and Spain have their prob
lens and their characteristics are
much the same as our own. A con-
servative estimate shows that nearly
a million acres Of valuable land in
the west are in needs Of drainage. The
water logging of the irrigated lands
IS not confined to any particular sec
fion. tt makes Its appearance IN
the river bottoms and in low lying
swales and depressions, as would be
exported. but IT does not stor there.
The gentle stones. the hillsides. vos'
even tho bench lands are attacked.
II once saw a tule swamp on
hillside that had a slope Of ~ degrees
and one Of the wettest propositions
I ever encountered was on the very
brow of a high gravel bench. 300
feet higher than its drainage basin,
writes B A. Hart, in the Denver
Field and Farm. Nor is waterlogging
confined to any particular soil type
clay. silt. sand and gravely lands are
all susceptible to its rayages. Many
men have declared that their lands
will never needs drainage. because
they have a gravel subsoil. have
found, however. that gravel sub
soil is often a source Of drainage.
Everyone realizes the need Of drain
age on humid lands, but few under
stand the necessity OF even the pos
sibility Of draining irrigated lands.
AS a matter Of fact, its necessity IS
even more imperative than in humid

Another Reason for Stirring the Soil.


The refuse Of plant and animal re-
mains cannot be used by plants un-
til It IS transformed into a soluble
condition. This latter work is ac-
complished by several classes OF bac-
terra. One class ferments and decom-
poses the refuse, forming ammonia
and forms II into nitrous acid; while
another class attacks the nitrous acir
and forms it into nitric acid. The
nitric acid united with certain min
eral constituents in the soil to form
nitrates. Nitrafes are available as
food for green plans.
The whole process of the formation
Of nitrates out of the manures Is call
ed nftrificatiOn and the bacteria pro-
ducing the change must have condi-
tions necessary for their growth, such
as pleanty Of moisture, proper tenn
perature. and good aeration.
The process of cultivation. which
stirs the soil gives thees conditions.
Cultivation, therefore, assists in do
ing more than the destruction OF
weeds: it reaches farther and deep
er in that It is requisite in order to
give the "nitrifiers" opportunity to
produce an available plant food.
