Bostonian Says Science Cannot
PrOfitably Restore Thin Soil
in the East.
RUSH TO TEXAS AND TO
OKLAHOMA ABOUT OVER
Dissatisfied Agriculturists Re-
turn TO Old Homes and Dis
courage NeighborS.

A. NJ. Hogg, a traveller for the bond
Denver and Boston, believes there will
be big influx of eastern farmers to
western states this year.
"Science has met defeat Mt last on
New England FARMS said Mr.. ilogg
at the Wilson hotel. Everybody who
reads periodicals must have learned
something about the efforts that have
been made to rehabilitate the worn-out
farms In Maine, New Hampshire, Mas
sachusetts, New York and other eastern
states. but the truth of the matter is
that it costs more to produce one of those
crops than the crop itself is worth. EX
porimenters themselves are just begin
ming to acknowledge this, while the
farmer, with his inborn distrust of the
book farmer has always known IT..
Farmers Know Soil.
"'Few farmers are highly educated
men, but their ideas regarding the till
ing of the soil have strange way of
being justified by results.
' Another reason why farmers are
looking to the west is that Texas and
Oklahoma have been advertised so ex
tensivelY that almost every farming
community in older states now has at
least one farmer who has been TO Texas
or Oklahoma and has come back dis
satisfied. In a smaller way this is
true Of Florida, Alabama and Mexico
81 do not say that il was the fault
of the country that the farmer did not
like it, A dozen reasons may have sent
him back to his old home, but he il
there and every agriculturist in his
neighborhood who is considering emf
grating consults this dissatisfied man.
The result is prospective emigrants do
not 60. Tons of literature praising that
particular section have less effect than
n few words from man who for some
reason did not like the country.
Finds Satisfaction in West.
"Now, it is seldom, indeed, that you
see a farmer who has gone to the far
west and has returned east, Perhaps
it is so far away that he cannot get
car fare or there may be better reasons,
but farmers who have tried their luck
IN the far west and are now back east
are hard TO find.
Most of them write letters to their
former homes pralsing the country and
with the railroads encouraging home
seekers to go west there is bound to be
4 great influx to these western states
Even in Ohio and Indiana the soil is
becoming thin, but the taxes are as high
as ever and the farmer pays the most
Of them. A few years ago it was diff
hcult to lind an agricultural community
in Ohio or Indiana where the people
were not cOntented, but now it is diff.
icult to find one where they are Every.
body is talking about going somewhere
else and the most of them will event

AMERICANS To
GIVE AN OUTING
Plans Are On to Make Event the
Greatest in History of
Party.
FUNCTION IS TO BE HELD
IN EARLY PART OF JULY
Arrangements Made for Dance
at X. of c. Hall Saturday
Night.

Preliminary preparations for the an
nual American outing, which likely Will
be held the early part of July under
the auspices of the American club, were
considered at the regular monthly
meeting of the club held at the Knights
Of Columbus hall, 1871 East First South
street, Saturday night. The recent
love fenst given by the club proved to
be splendid success as was shown by
the report of r. b. Kimball, chairman
of the general committee on arrange
ments. and it is the hope of the club
that the outing to be given this year
will be the largest and most ausplcionS
affair of It's kind ever attempted.
The summer outing of the Americans
in the past has been one of the big
features of the resort season. In none
of the festivities attempted by the
club, which have always proven pop
ular, has so much interest been demon
strated as in the big summer outing,
and hence the club has decided that
it is good idea to begin preparations
for the event early.
At the meeting of the club Saturday
evening resolution was passed ex-
pressing the thanks of the club to Sen
ator Frank j. Cannon for the address
which he delivered at the love feast
held Saturday evening, April 90, and
expressing appreciation of his coming
to Salt Lake from Denver for the oc-
caslon.
Another resolution was adopted wish
ing Lieutenant John Hemple, one of
the clubs strongest supporters, n pleas
ant trip, as he Will IN the near future
for Enrnna niil, hSs p,i 1y ap8
expressing the appreciation of the club
for the courtesies and services rem
dered by him in the past.
On next Saturday night dance will
be held under the direction Of the club
at the Knights Of Columbus hall, TO
which all Americans and their friends
are cordially invited.
