SOIL CONSERVA-
ton is A DUTY
a FARMER OWES 1T TO HIS
CHILDREN AND FUTURE
GENERATION
His Farm Should Be Left More Fertile
Than He Found It-Proper Care
increases Soil Fertility.

Our agricultural papers OF the pres
EN- time and of the past have been
oiled with methods of how to farm
better and the money profits TO be de-
rived from the use of better methods
In farming until now almost every
farmer knows how to farm better than
he is doing Hundreds know how -
maintain their soil and keep It in bet
ter condition than they are doing, and
through neglect, Indifference and care
.tessness, are letting soil fertility go
to waste.
The great majority of land owning
farmers OF the United States intend 10
use the same farm for agricultural
purposes the remainder of their life,
then turn it over to their children
many of whom will continue to farm
The same land. How many of these
men ever stopped to think what
great handicap they would be placing
On the future prosperity of a child by
bequeathing to him a farm worn out
in fertility; one on which taxes were
high and the producing capacity very
10y, low in fertility because of years
Of careless handling? Is It not the
duty of every farmer to leave the land
rs rich as he found it, and in as good
tilable condition? Certainly, he
owes that to his children and future
generations. If few of the farmers
of the past generation or many more
Of the present generation could fore.

WOMEN AS STREET CAR CON
DUCTORS.

The hiring Of women as street car
conductors by the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company is a novel step that
is arousing much attention. The por.
tons Of the industrial world reserved
for men only are growing pretty
small.
There need be no question of wo-
mems ability to perform the duty of
car conductors. They will have
change computed while the men would
be laundering through their trousers
pockets. snap of their teeth will
make drunken roughs quail, while
men would have to take off their coats
and fight to preserve order.
Furthermore, generous minded men
are glad to see women capture any
field Of labor in which they are able
to succe~4 The man who sniYels be
cause woman has got his job away
from him is usually one who also
fails in the race with men
Furthermore, when you think of all
the rough and incompetent men who
somehow succeed in getting good
bright women as wives, you can't re
sist sympathy with the effort of wo-
men to place themselves on an indie
pendent basis, where they won't have
to pick up any old piece of male drift
wood that may come along.
The principal objection to all this
feminine invasion OF new fields, lies
in the question whether the result viii
be the placing of new burdens on
mothers OF families. The admission
of women into factories has had the
tendency TO deprive the workingman
and his children of the home tended
by the wifely and mother heart
When the workingman must put up
with a cold dinner because his help
mate is transplanted from the cool
stove to the mill, when the children
run loose and unwashed and uucod-
died through the streets because Moth
er is tending a loom, there is a social
loss that no amount of money can
replace.

see their posterity eking a bare exist
ence on a wornout farm or trying to
put back in that soil some of the lost
fertility they would doubtless be
shocked. The country is coming to
this If present practices are continued.
The farmer must prevent useless

izers. Too many farmers are priding
Themselves in the vain glory of bank
account-dollars placed in the bank
by robbing the farm Which is the
safest place of deposit a rich field on
commercial bank? Placing money
in the bank by raising one kind OF
grain crop continuously on new field
and selling the product off the farm,
returning nothing to the soil, has but
one effect on the land-a short period
of profitable tillage
A comparison can be drawn between
the soil and a work animal Work
mule very hard for a short time and
give it poor food and care and its pc
riod OF usefulness is short and the
total amount of labor produced small
With good care and feed the animal

out the mule quickly and buy new
one, but the day OF buying new land
and abandoning the old is over. An
animal will naturally die, but soil
properly cared for will last forever.
The fertility is in the soil if properly
handled and made available. Look at

land, admitted to have the best farm
ers in the world, is producing more
per acre on her old land than the
American is on his newer fields. The
i Chinese are farming lands which they
have titled for hundreds of years, but
there farmers care properly for their
soil.
The man who knows he is not prop
erly caring for his land and does not
90 anything to remedy the evil, is no
better than any other man who is
robbing the people. whether by a
crime punishable by law or not. It is
a great wrong to waste the fertility of
the soil, for it is the soil which is to
