CONSIDERING CANAL BILL.
The British Cabinet Is Busy on the
Question.

London, Oct. 1.-THE whole matter
of the Panama canal bill together with
the views of the legal advisers to the
1 British crown on the subject, is uHde,
consideration by the cabinet was the
reply yesterday of Sir Edward Grey
British secretary of state for foreign
affairs, to- question in the House OF
Commons. W. A. s. Hewins, a Unionist
member, asked whether the British for
eign office had received any definite reply
to the representations made to the Unit
ed States and whether the British gov
eminent was making any further repre-
sentation.
Sir Edward Grey said:
"In informing the United States of
Great Britain's intention to address a
communication TO Washington when the
Panama canal bill had been received and
considered the foreign office added that
should there be eventually a difference
between the two countries in regard to
the Hay.Pauncefote treaty which could
not be settled by other means. Great
Britain would ask that il be referred
to arbitration"
Replying to a further question as to
whether he had seen a statement maSie
by President Taft that the British repre-
sensations had been made tardily, Sir
Edward Grey said he had not seen it and
would be glad to know its date because
the bill did not pass in its final form
until toward the end of August. Imme
diately the British foreign office knew
that the DILL had passed, il stated that
il would consider the measure in its final
form and then make representations.
Great Britain had expressed its view of
the Hay Pauncefote treaty while the
Panama canal bill was in progress, but
il was impossible to make a final com
in regard TO the bill. which
was then being shaped. Great Britain
therefore stated that il would address
R further communication to Washington
when the bill had taken its final form
and after It had been considered by the /
British government.
Replying to a question by Arthur Lee,
a Unionist member, as to whether Greal
Britain would postpone its representa-
tons until after the presidential cleo
ton. Sir Edward Grey said that il would
require considerable time. but was not
dependent on the internal affairs Of the
United States.

In it he spoke of a certain Kansas
valley he had just visited. 1T is the
finest looking farming land I have
ever SEEN" he wrote. But their
methods of farming are such that it
is only a question Of time when their
rich soil will be impoverished" The
farmers all owned from 100 to $40
acres and 'farmed it" on a big scale.
But the way they farmed made this
good eastern farmer SILVER. Il was
shown several pieces of land that had
raised wheat continuously for from
ten to twenty years, and had never
been ploWed but once" They Just
scratch the dirt enough to cover the
new seed and let it go at that. As a
result the yields are dwindling. They
grow poorer and poorer. Last sum
mer they were the worst ever The
farmers laid it to drought. The Wis
itor, in his own heart, laid it to bad
farming. He noticed that all the farm
buildings were very poor" that the
fences were poorer yet, and that most
of the farm machinery was left out
OF doors, the year round. Most of the
larger farmers have automobiles,' -

AN INTERESTING REVELATION FROM FIGURES

of these western farmers who think
they must have their automobiles
really can't afford to keep q decent
roof over themP
Let me quote another sentence from
our farmers letter: Il did not see a
thoroughly cultivated piece of corn
after 1 left Iowa. They cultivate their
corn about so much and then quit
whether it is wet or dry. Then the
crab-grass comes up about a foot high,
and as thick as in a moving field. The
corn promptly stops growing" Why
shouldn't it?
Fields only half prepared: not
fortified at all; seed weakened in
vitality by being exposed to the
weather all winter; cultivation only
sort of half hearted lick or miss, -
which is oftenest a miss" and the
field given up to weeds when the poor
corn needs for itself all the strength
there is in the soil:-that is not real
farming. 1t is not farming at all: it is
an attempt to rob the land and swindle
the farm.
Now that sort of thing will work,
| for a while, if the land is only rich
/ enough to begin with. Bat you can't
| keep it up, indefinitely. The time is
| coming when the soil is going to be
used up. played -ausgespieit, il
that's the right way to spell it. If ma

! put a certain amount of gold into a

all gone. That ends it. You'll get nc
more gold from that place. If nature
