The announcement. based upon the
census, that the drift OF population is
from the country to the cities is not
surprising to those who have been OBJ
servant. yet it indicates a state of af-
fairs which might we'll cause wonder
ment. Logically the drift should be in
the other direction, since for many years
the resources of inventive and admins
trative ingenuity have been drawn upon
for the benefit of the rural rather than
Of the urban dweller. The lighting of
rural roads by electricity, the linking Of
farmhouses with each other and with all
the community by telephones. the ex-
tension Of trolley lines through farming
districts, the establishment of rural free
delivery Of mails, the application Of
steam, gasolene and electric power to
farm work and rural transportation and
many other achievements have all tend
ed to free rural life Of it's hardships and
discomforts and to make it more at
tractive. Really, far more has thus been
done for the country than for the city.
That under these circumstances people
should in increasing numbers desert the
country for the city is a strange thing,
which deserves careful thought and in
vestigation.

Potash salts Of many kinds were
imported into the United States from
Germany last year and to the value OF
$11.000.000. Yet as far as the German
supply is concerned. 1t is said that the
present rate Of demand upon the great
potash salts are used for many pur.
ought to last for 100000 years. These
potash salts are used for many pur.
poses In this country-in gold mining,
glassmaking. soap-making. bleaching,
dyeing, in photography and medicine,
In the man manufacture OF explosives
and for fertilizers. In recent years
there have been attempts to discover
potash in paying quantities In the
western desert portions of the United
States.

water wheel, and men thought they
had reached the limit of power and
invention.
Electricity as applied to power is
only twenty-five years old. 1t is now
used on thousands of farms where the
supply from electric railways or other
large plants is available, but the cost
of installation and the high price of
electricity have so far prevented rapid
development for farm work.
The gas engine dates from 1891,
but ii was not brought into econom-
lcal use and practice until 1882. Dur
ing the past 80 years hundreds of
patents have been issued for gas en-
gines and they are now used on thou
sands of farms in nearly every state
In the Union.
The fuel used in gas engines is gas
oline and the cost of running these
machines has been so greatly reduced
during the past ten years, and they
are made in such large variety of
sizes that they are available to almost
every farmer, no matter what his re-
quirements may be. The traction en-
CINE has been a potent factor in the
rapid development of the big farms
Of the west. Formerly a man with q

Centuries ago men plowed with a
,rooked stick and reaped with a sickle.
They are doing the same thing in the
same way today in some parts Of the
world, but not In America.
The development of farm machinery
has been very slow. The modern
reaper Is only about SO years old. The
automatic binder came into use as
ate as 1877. Gasoline engines on the
arm were practically unknown ten
years ago and the disk harrow, that
most useful of farm implements, has
been used only since 1854.
The modern grain header Is q new
machine. Our old friend Pliny de-
Bcribes a header which was used In
his time. 1t was "a large, hollow
frame armed with teeth for driving
through standing grain SO that the
heads were torn of and fell into the
frame" That Is pretty good de-
scription Of the modern header. In
