OF the soil experts. and among others
with DR.. Milton Whitney, who has been
al the head of the bureau since its begin
ming. and who knows more about soils,
perhaps than any other man in the coun-
try.
In the first place, what IS soil?
1t is the thin skin which incIoses the
BODY of old Mother Earth. formed of the
dust of the old lady's scourings. We all
know that it is dislnte2rated rock. but
the. experts say that the rock alone is
not soil. and that it must have humus
or some vegetable or organic matter
1t must have water and air and also the
myriads OF little devils of a vegetable
sort known as bacteria.
All rock is mineral and The soil is made
~ of minerals washed from the rocks By
the rains and Ioosered bS other agencies
SO that i may furnish the root food for
the plants. In order that il may do this
1t must consist of particles which are IN
finitesmally small Many grains OF the
soil are so little that YOU cannot see them
except when some ,miIlons are cole cted
together Take the Norfolk sand which
runs along The eastern coast of the
United States from Florida to Long Is
land. That is good vegetable ground. but
a great part of it Is SO fine that a child )
thimble Will hold more Of its particles
han there are men, women and children
n this whole world. 1t measures about
two billions to the gram and that many
can be inclosed in q cylinder one-fourth
of an inch in diameter and half an inch
long.
There are other soils which have even
more particles than this. and ii is said
that the best wheat lands ana grass lands
are SO fine ,hat from ten to fourteen bill
Ion separate particles or grains maa be
crowded into a thimble.
These particles are usually roundiSh IN
shape. They are separated BY air spaces.
and Single cubic FOOT of soil is said to
expose 10 the roots of the plants an
area of surface equal TO three acres. That
is each particle can be reached on all
sides, and the aggregate surface of these
billions of particles equals three acres.
IT is according 10 the division OF the

sent in from the fields. There are great
laboratories which have bottles contain
ing soils of every description and repre-
senting every part OF the country. There
are upward of $40 different soils in
these bottles and the reports will
tell Just what the property OF each
is and what crops il will raise. You
may learn the character of the earth.
Some of ii is coarse. gritty sand. Other
soils are made of fine sands and others
of sandy loans and fine sandy loans.
There are other divisions such as silt.
clay loans and clay, so that one can
know the texture of the land ana Tor
what il is fitted. \ description OF the
varieties and their characteristics is 100
long for this paper.
When this soil survey is completed
every farmer in the United States can
write &c the government and learn all
about the land he is working. He will
be sent a map of his county which in
some cases is as big as ta5leoloth and
so pictured in colors that he can tell I'm
just what townships each kind Of land
is and can almost pick out his own farm.
IN such surveys the work IS exhaustive
~ done. The experts. who are college
bred men and who know all about the
earth and its products. bore doHn into
the ground to "A depth of three feet and
take up specimens of the soil and an
aiyZe them. In some cases they have an
electrical apparatus which tells the pres
ence of salts in the soil. and they use
date Information.
The MAPS show the lay of the land. the
streams, the roads and the chief market
towns They show You the educational
facilities and character of the people.
They describe tie towns and the trans
~portation facilities, steam and electric
and also the waterways. They will tell
YOU whether the roads are good or bad
and whether they are toll roads or free
roads. They give the climate and the
temperature from month to month
throUshout the year. They take up each
crop that is raised and tell how it should
be handled TO make it grow better. They
describe the Stock-r2iSing possibilities,
give the rates of farm wages. and every
thing, in short. that the man who wishes
to settle in such county should know.
This Information is of great value to
investors. for by it they can tell the pos
sibilty of the farmers paving their loans

county or to the townships or the munich
palities within it. They are OF adyanta &c

The Airman's Best Trick.

great value of the work which the bureau
of soils is doing for the country. 1t not
only tells US what our lands are. but how
each kind should be treated that fertili'y
Eiay be increased. Among the work Of its
laboratories are recent discoveries in the
renovation of soils DR.. Whitney does
not think that lands can wear out. and he
believes that good handling can restore
the original forces of almost any SOL
upon earth. lie says that lands in tie
orient which have been faTmed for TWEEN
~ centuries are still producing good
crons. and that the soil which was TILED
when William the Conqueror came into
England still Keeps up the average wheat
Weld of that country to about thtrty-hVe
bushels TO the acre
One of the most interesting Of the pres
ent investigations is that being made by
DR.. Schreiner and Others to the dele
te, ious matter which is found in some
soils. This may be poisonous TO the
plants and may retard their growth, al
food and all the other conditions which
should produce the richest of crops.

region of China. 1t consists of a mighty
plateau of clay made up of particles as
fine as the finest dust. Over this the
winds are constantly blowing. and
through it some great rivers run. The
winds have carried the dust all over
central and eastern China. and have built
up there the richest lands of the world.
The Yangtse Kiang and the Hoang Ho
carry down many billions of tons of this
dirt every year. and that also goes TO
build up the land. In the same way this

blown dust from the Rocky mountains,
and it is out of this dust that we get the
wheat, corn and meat which form our
chief food supply.
The greater part of this wind-blowi
dust lies on a bed of rock which was
ground up and brought down by the
glaciers during the great ice ages of the
past There are places where the dust
is not thick and where this glacial SOIL
