CONSERVATION OF THE SOIL

The elimination of economic waste
is one of the great problems of the
day. 1t is met with in the problem
Of scientific management of large i'm
dustrial cnocerns and is being fea-
.tured now as something new under
the sun and for some years it has
been discussed in connection with the
movement for conservation of our ma
tionsl resources.
The conservation idea has grown
large in the public mind and the
movement now has the support and
commentator of all thoughtful peo-
pie. The application of the principle
has wide range but in the last an
alysis it carries always the same eco
nomc value. The conservation of for
ests, of water supply and power sites
are the most commonly discussed, but
the range is far wider in it's relations
to many industrial conditions.
That the farmers should plan to
save the soil from reckless waste and
increase it's fertility is one of
the more recent points raised
James j. Hill is the exponent of some
advanced ideas for the conservation
of the soil and does not hesitate to
point out the dangers of such waste
whenever opportunity offers we
are robbing the soil" he told the
Kansas farmer this week. and illus
trated his assertion with pointing to
the fact that there was a steady de-
cline in the average yield in Kansas
once the garden spot of the west. but
now producing less per acre than the
poorest land in other sections of the
country.
Any one who has taken time to
give comparative study to the aver
age yields per acre in the several
states of the Union has been Impress

the Pacific Northwest are leading the
country in yield per acre on cereals
and other food crops. This is due
not to husbandry but to the fact that
1t is the virgin soil and has not been
robbed yet in the Northwest and this
generation is reaping the benefit.
But what of the future? This is
the question that is being raised by
the advanced thought of the day and
it is being met by a practical appli-
cation of the theories of soil building
which are worked out by the -scien-
tifc agriculturist The soil must not
only be made to yield larger crops
but it must be kept to its high aver
age fertility by those who cultivate l..
We must conserve the soil by putting
the tillage of the land in the hands
of men who will cultivate it without
exhausting its productiveness.

Fps" i'm PROPULSION

A printer puts good deal Of
sense and good many "p's" in a
brief space in the following per
sons who patronize papers should
pay promptly, for pecuniary power
in pushing forward public prosperity.
If printers is paid promptly and his
pocketbook is kept plethoric by
prompt paying patrons, he puts pen
to paper in peace; he paints his
pictures of passing events in more
pleasing colors, and perusal of his
paper is more pleasing to the peo-
pie. Paste this piece of proverbial
philosophy in place where all per-
sons can perceive it, Be pleased
also to ponder on it myself patiently
and perseveringly and profitably, and
persistently practice it perpetually.

Economical Hauling

A California farmer living ten miles
from his market found that in mud
dy weather he could haul 1900
pounds of produce and in dry weather
$500 pounds, taking the whole day
for the trip. Reckoning the cost of
team and driver at $3.50 a day, with
out making allowance for repairs and
interest, this figures out at as cents
interest, this figures out at 2s cents
a ton a mile for bad weather and at
Is cents for good weather. This is
about the most expensive transpor-
tation in the country and is absurdly
in excess of the railways. Not that
roads may ever hope to economically
compete with the rails, for that (and
the time saved) is the reason of the
existence of the latter, but the differ
ence is far too much.
The farmers of Pennsylvania, by
the construction of good wagon roads
have been enabled to double the load
drawn and thereby halved the expense
of transportation, considerably add
ing to their own profits and reducing
the cost of their products to the pur-
chaser.
Perhaps the cheapest living in the
world in civilized countries is to be
had in France. and it is noteworthy
in this connection that France leads
the whole world in the state of its
country roads.
1t is one thing. however, to build
roads in a small country and quite
another to do so in one OF the size of
this Far more main trunk roads are
necessary in the latter and far more
subsidiary feeders. The usual trouble
in the United States is that the feed
ers are often the trunk roads them
selves and that there exists no sys-
TEN OF trunk roads traversing the
whole country. The expense. especi-
ally in the West where such great
distances have TO be traversed be-

Perkins blames the western banks
for the panics, and on the ground
that they send their surplus money to
eastern fnacial centers for invest
ment and then call the loans to move
the crops thus forcing liquidation
that is disastrous. This assertion is
well supported by the facts that de-
veloped in the panic Of 1907 when
western banks were forced to issue
emergency currency to supply their
depositors because their money was
tied mp in eastern banks and could
not be obtained If western money
reserves had been held in western
Institutions the panic of 1907 would
never have been felt in the west. We
would have been entirely divorced
from Wall street and free from the
effects that followed the investment
of western money in eastern specula-
tions.

The fact that North Yakima has
two railroads and consequently in
creased transportation facilities should
make this city d dangerous competi-
tor in the race for commercial supre-
macy in supply the wholesale trade
which will result because of the re-
cent freight rate decision granting to
towns of the interior a reduced rate
enabling them to compete for the
wholesale trade. Neither Spokane
nor the Sound wholesale can sue

BUSTING THINGS UP

There was a follow got a hunch
That he was strictly 'it;'
Just to get even with his boss
He quit
The boss he bore it wondrous we'll,
He never walled or moaned OF
swore,
But said, AS you go out don't slam
The door.
He thought: They do not realize
That | have left them to their fate
So much the better; let them laugh:
Eut wait!"
And then he ambied down the street
And confidently told the town,
Now, fellows, watch and see the boss
Fall down"
Somehow or other things went on:
The business did not go to smash;
The boss went smiling as he grabbed
The cash
And every day the fellow me.
Some friend who didn't know he d
quit.
And didn't care. and wasn't sore
4 bit.
1t rather stunned him that the world
Went booming on through day and
night,
As well as when re used to keep
1t right.
Somehow there isn't any man
For whom tho whole creation
squirns,
And good men cluster round a job
Like germs.
And when YOU up and leave your
place.
And think the whole blame works
will quit,
rhe joker hollers, "Tag, old man,
You're it!''
The world goes plugging, plodding on
AS unconcerned as it can be;

Who's he?'
