NO EXHAUSTION or
SOIL IN AMERICA
On Contrary 1t Is Becoming
More Productive, Says
Sec'y Wilson.
By RODERIck CLIFFORD

Washington April S.--For some
time Secretary of the Department OF
Agriculture. James Wilson has been
receiving inquiries from farmers
scientific societies, and others asking
whether the soil of the United States
is not being rapidly exhausted by con
stant cultivation and by the neglect
to apply fertilizers, as is generally
done in European countries. To al
these inquiries. Mr.. Wilson has sub.
mitted statistics for the past few
that the soil of the United States is
not being exhausted in the least, but
on the contrary is increasing in pro
ductiveness.
Mr. Wilson is of the opinion that
the cause of these inquiries is brought
about by the fact that Lately there
has been a great deal said of aban
doned farm lands in the East and
South. In some quarters this has pro
duced the impression that the United
States will ultimately become depen
dent upon other countries for its food
supply.
What Experts Say.
According to experts of the De
partment wlO have made IA study o
the soil in various parts of the coun
try, there is no cause for such anXiet,
at present. 1t is admitted. however
that sometime along in the dim fu
ture the soil in some of the older stat
es may become worn out, but it il
said there is no danger whatever tha
this country will have to buy its fOOC
supply abroad for ages to come. The
reason for abandoned farms. it is said
is due to the fact that land robbers
exhaust the soil for their own finan
cial gain. These men do not allow
their fields to rest. working the farm:
until the soil becomes worthless fo
production, and then selling the land
Another reason advanced by the de
partment is that farms are worn Ou

Has Been Demonstrated
The ability of the soil under scientif-
ic management and cultivation to
maintain its strength and usefulness,
and to produce crops at rate of in
crease equal to or greater than the
normal increase of population, has
been demonstrated time and time
again by the Department of Asricu.-
ture, by its experiment stations in var
ious parts of the United States.
Secretary Wilson shows that there
has been almost constant increase in
the average production. per acre. OF
all the principal crops in the United
States during the last twenty wears.
Not all the states make this showing
for all varieties Of crops. but ii is
particularly noticeable in the staple
crops. In corn, the increase this
twenty year period has been at a
rate very nearly TO that of the popu-
lation OF the states, the yield OF wheat
per acre increased more rapidly than
the population in twenty-five states,
oats showed a much larger increase
per acre than the population of six
teen states. rye, twSnty-one states
buskwheat. eighteen states, potatoes,
fifteen states. and hay, twenty-five
states. The increase OF cotton, ac-
cording to the statistics used by Mr.
Wilson. showed a total increase in
excess of the population in only one
state, Oklahoma. A like increase in
tobacco was noted in Wisconsin. The
failure OF the cotton and tobacco crops
to keep up with the increase in pop
| ulation is due mainly to the disposi
condition of the soil. In the cotton
and tobacco states there has been 6
general tendency to restrict the pro
| duction of cotton and tobacco in order
to boost the market price of these
commodities.
The production of cotton, however
is expected to show a tremendous i'll
crease shortly, because of experiment:
recently made by the Department o
Agriculture in growing Egyptian cot
ton in the Southwest. There is mucf
