Every Nation Going After
Panama Commerce
UNITED STATES A LAGGARD
Every Country but Ours Planning TO-

of Great Waterway.

Washington.-After a tour OF Eu'
rope, John Barrett, director of the
Pan-American Union, thinks sharp
warning to American manufacturers
and exporters is necessary II the
United States is not to tail in the In
ternational race for the trade of the
Panama Canal and Latin-America.
Get ready for the Panama Canal
and go after Panama commerce. Mr..
Barrett says is the slogan which
American commercial interests must
now adopt. He says In part:
unless the manufacturing. export
ing and shipping interests of the
United States exert themselves to tho
limit during the next eighteen months
they will find they will be distanced
from the start by foreign competitors
in deriving practical advantages from
the canal and the rapidly developing
field of Latin-America.
Every important port of Great Brit
ain, France, Germany, Holland, Bel
gium, Scandinavia, Spain, Italy and
Australia is being improved to the
highest degree of efficiency. Every
European building yard OF recog-
nized standing is busy to it's capacity
constructing ocean-going merchant
vessels.
European governments are instruct
ing their diplomats and consular
agents to study and report upon every
phase Of trade opportunity expected

bers of commerce and commercial Or
ganizations are cooperating along the
same lines and the business schools
are training men for the field. Their
banking and investment houses are
extending their foreign facilities. Pri-
vate business companies are sending
agents and scouts to Latin-America
and all parts of the world affected by
the canal to investigate trade posi-
bilities.
"In Japan three steamship COM
panes are building vessels for the ca
nal. Japanese banks are considering
the opening of branches in Latin
featuring, exporting and importing
houses have numerous agents on the
ground. Australia's commercial or
ganizations are sending men to South
America to develop trade, while Aus
tralia and New Zealand are planning
to establish canal steamship line OF
their own. A new line of freight ves-
sells is to run from India to South
America. Canada will run two new
direct lines from Vancouver and Mon
treal to Latin-America.
"The Pacific coast of South America
is showing great preliminary activity.
Chile, Peru and Bolivia are spending
$50,000,000 in opening up their inte-
riors with railways. Chile is building
at Valparaiso a new artificial harbor

principal port of Ecuador, is to be
made sanitary. Calloa Peru, is being
improved on the east coast. Argen-
tina and Uruguay will spend almost

improved farming with enthusiasm,
f~oreseeing better freight and passenger
business in regions which produce

enterprises of this kind.
1t is an agreeable duty to call at
tention to what corporations are doing
in this line. We have seen so much
Of the acts of great corporations which
operate only in the interest of the cor
porations themselves, that it is re-
freshing to observe the introduction
of movements which carry with them
mutual benefits.
1t is quite needless to say that all
wish the corporations we'll in work Of
this sort. Perhaps the day is dawning
when all the activities Of the big bus
mess interests of the nation will work
to the improvement of the condition
of the people without whose patron
age the corporations could not exist.
The people do not ask charity of the
corporations nor is charity offered in
any one of the enterprises referred
to in the foregoing. The harvester
company will sell more machinery
when We raised bigger crops and that
is what they are in business for. But,
in the meantime, when the people are
shown how to raise better crops, the
prosperity average OF the country will
go higher. And we will be very glad
to purchase the machinery If we can
be shown how to raise better crops.
The trend OF events is in the right
direction.-Sioux Falls Press.

THE NEW PHILANTHROPY

Another example of corporation en-
terprise, based on selfish motives but
productive of great good to the whole
nation, is furnished in the recent &C
ton Of the International Harvester
Company, the harvester trust" in ap-
propriating the sum of one million
dollars for the purpose of promoting
scientific agriculture. Particular at
tention is to be paid to the production
Of corn and the greatest corn expert
in the world, Professor Holden of the
Iowa State Agricultural College, Is to
head the new corporation bureau. The
company will use it's $4,000 agents to
distribute improved seed and litera-
ture prepared under the direction Of
Professor Holden; it will start trains
and automobiles forth through the ag-
ricultural districts to spread the gos-
pei of scientific farming; it will estab-
lish experimental and demonstration
farms and it will also help the ad-
vancement of country schools so far
as is possible.
We have commented before on this
new form of philanthropy, a selfish
philanthropy if one can imagine such
a thing. Great insurance companies
have established health bureaus for
the purpose of prolonging life and i'm
proving the health of the nation, thus
reducing the number of policies paid
on the death of policy holders. Public
health is the better for such a move
ment and it Is therefore highly to be
commended. Several great railroad
companies have gone into the work of

the plan most favored has been that
the states should contribute equally
with the government in order to have
the full benefits of agricultural extern
sion work. The presidents of a large
number of agricultural colleges
throughout the country have recently
met at Atlanta, Georgia, and taken
steps to further the legislation that
has been pending for several sessions.
Senator Hoke Smith hurried back
from the conference to Washington in
order to get busy in ~furthering the
legislation, and he expresses the be-
lief that the sentiment in favor of this
legislation has become so general
throughout the country thai it may
be possible to enact a bill early in the
coming session, and pass it on to the
different state legislatures giving
them an opportunity to put the great
plan in operation the coming winter.
William Jennings Bryan, whose ex-
act status in the new order OF national
politics, has not been exactly deter
mined, but who nevertheless is &C
knowledged to be a big part Of the
STATUS" has been spending a good
deal Of time in the national capital,
and he has discussed mostly every
thing. He suggests a plan to admit
former presidents, former vice-presi-
dents and former speakers of the
house Of representatives to the floor
of the two houses, with the privilege
to speak upon any question. Mr.. Taft
in a good natured speech which fol-
lowed, in answer to the question:
"What will we do with our expresi-
DENTS" said he would recommend
chloroform. He disagreed with the
suggestions of Mr.. Bryan, but declar-
ed in favor of seats in the two bodies
OF congress for members of the presi-
dents cabinet. He likewise declared
in favor of a single term Of six years.

posal under the general provisions of
the coal and mineral land laws" ac-
cording to the terms of a bill intro

in the Rosebud, White River, Lower
Brule, Cheyenne River and Standing
Rock reservations. A number of the
settlers in these localities have writ
ten Mr.. Martin that they have found
Fuller's earth and kalonite on their
land. Under the present law they are
unable to develop them, and Mr.. Mar

dry ~pulverized soil on top Of it to
keep it there.
The reprehensible practice of disc
ing in small grain where small grain
was grown the year before should be
stopped and it should be stopped right
now. There is not an agricultural
state in the Union that can stand up
under that method of farming and the
sooner we quit it the sooner will the
great state Of South Dakota come
into her own as an agricultural state.
= Pillow deep in order to provide a
good environment for the roots Of
plants, pillow in order to release the
plant foods of the soil, plow deep III

falls upon the land.

to produce a crop. The plant food
and the water which plants must
have are obtained wholly from the
soil. If a good root system is develop
ed the plant is then in condition to
appropriate to it's use these two pre-
requisites OF crop production. The
roots of plants, in their search for
plant food and for water, must force
their way between the soil grains,
and it is evident to any one, after a
moments thought, that it is easier
for the root of a plant to force IS way
between the grains of a soil that Is
loose and mellow than it would be
to force it's way between soil grains
that had becn closely packed.
In the second place most Of the
available plant foods which the soil
contains are found in the land that is
turned over by the plow. One of the
essential plant foods, nitrogen, be-
comes available for the use OF plants
only after it has been exposed to the
warming influence Of the sun and the
air. The roots Of plants obtain very
little nit o below the depth at
which the land is plowed. Crops in
the Dakotas suffer more often from a
lack of nitrogen than from any of the
other plant foods. The supply Of
available nitrogen can therefore be
largely increased by exposing a larger
volume of soil to the sun and the air
by deep blowing.
In the next place crop production
in this northwestern country depends
more often upon the moisture content
of the soil than any other n factor.
Especially in the western half of the
Dakotas draught causes more crop
losses than all other agencies COM
bined. If the land is plowed deeply,
so that the rains, when they come,
may go down into the soil instead OF
running off into the creeks and gull
lies much can be done to forestall the
effects Of dry weather. The soil that
has been talked about so much Of
late will do no good, if there Is no
moisture in the soil. The first thing
necessary in conserving moisture is
to get the water down into the soil,
and the only way this a be done,
under our limited rainfall, is to open
up the soil with the plow so that 1t
will readily absorb the water and the
next step is to spread a blanket OF
