SOIL ROBBERY
The FARM CRIME
FAILURE or AMERICAN FARMERS
TO RESTORE FERTILITY Is So
cIAL EN- ETHoD
SHOULD BE EMPLOYED TO
PRESERVE NATURAL RICHNESS

Nothing is now claiming SO much
earnest attention from conservation
lists along agricultural lines as the
venaIity with which the American
farmer abused the soil from which he
derived his ~sustenance and his wealth.
Nowadays it is looked upon as immor-
al for the farmer to get all he can out
of the soil without exercising an ear
nest endeavor to put back into 1t as
nearly as possible as much vitality
as he has robbed it Of. A writer IN
Farm and Fireside says the farmers
OF Europe do not talk about worn-out
farm lands as do the farmers of
America. They give more careful at
tention to the soil and get in return
better results. Along that line the
writer says:
The American farmer has swept
across the continent, leaving aban-
doned farms and wornout fields in his
wake, until now we have come to the
point where all our arabic land has
been occupied. and we IAN no longer
wear it out and abandon it. We must
not only maintain ourselves on the
land WE have, we must maintain a
population that will soon be double
and treble what 1t O Is.
Where should we look for informa-
ton lie not to the countries of an
equal degree Of civilization that arc
much older than our oWn and have a
much greater population IN proportion
to their area? In Europe are farm
lands that have been In cultivation
for 1000 years and are producing
larger crops than u fertile virgin
soils, and no one ever thinks OF these
farms wearing out.

Washington, ID. G., July 20s-Last
bulletin gave forecast Of disturbances
to cross continent July l6 TO 20 and
July 20 to rs. warm waves July Is to
to 10 and July 81 to 25, cool waves
July is to a. and July "a to 20. The
results Of the disturbances covering
ten days will include cooler than usual
and q deficiency of moisture In two
thirds of the cotton and grain produc-
ing sections. Not far from July 20 a
remarkable low temperature wave has
has been expected to cross the conti-
.nent. This will bring the lowest tenn
peratures Of the summer months and
temperatures will fluctuatingly rise
from July 81 to Aug. 10.
We are now at the beginning of the
most destructive drought OF the year
and very little rain may be expected
during the next three weeks. The
final results of all this is problemat-
tcal. Where the soil is already moist
there need not be much Of a scare
but where 1t is now dry the outlook is
gloomy.
Next disturbances will reach Pa
cific coast about July Is, cross Pa
ciic slope by close OF July 81, great
central valleys July 2S to 30, eastern
sections, July 81. Warm wave will
cross Pacific slope about July 26, great
central valleys July 20, eastern sec
tions July 80. Cool wave will cross
Pacific slope about July 20, great CEN
trial valleys July 81, eastern sections
Aug. 2.
Temperatures of that week will av-
erage about normal and rainfall below
normal. Storm forces will not be rad
ical but a good healthful movement of
the atmosphere will bring rather
pleasant weather. Most weather in
~terests will center on crop conditions
and everyone Is interested in the
crops; prices are about as high now

tering a period where 1t Is said that
All signs of dry weather" and by
the way this Is q. very true saying.
Most Of the little details of my fore
casts fail in those sections where
drought supersedes all other weather
events.
In the discussions of long range
weather forecasters / would rank the
Rev. IrI Hicks as fourth. But few
preachers have been so fortunate as
Hicks for the reason that he, too, has
made q moderate fortune put of plan
etary m~eteorology. He is a man OF
much ability and he struck the iron
while it was hot.
Professor Tice, who had been super
intendent Of the public schools of st,
Louis, worked out a system Of fore
casting the weather, making plan
etary influences his base of opera
tions. But he was not a money maker
and did not reap the rewards that
should have come to him. He did not
use records and did not include the
moons influences in his calculations,
AS a starting point he held that plan
etary equinoxes bring on the princi-
pal weather events.
When Tice died Hicks stepped into
his shoes, appropriated to his own use
the Tice system and added to 1t the
Hicks theory about the effects of our
moon. When a preacher can make q
fortune out Of planetary meteorology
it argues that there must be merit In
that idea as preachers are not sup
posed to be successful In accumulat-
ing this worlds goods.

THE LEASE
Fargo Lodge Of EIks Will Occupy Its
Present Quarters for the Next
Five Years.

Fargo lodge Of Elks has decided to
renew its lease for the present quar-
tiers and the trustees were instructed
to take a lease for FIVE vars on the
property on Second avenue.
There was a large attendance at the
meeting last night which vas called
by Exalted Ruler Morrow for the pur-
pose Of considering the question of a
renewal Of the present lease or secur-
ing new quarters until such time as
the lodge feels able to build, and it
was the unanimous opinion of the
members that a renewal OF the lease
was the best thing to do.
Owner Kessler Of the building has
agreed to spend in the neighborhood
of $1,000 in improving the Elks' rooms
and the Prize hall, and this work will
be done between now and the time Of
the fall meetings Of the lodge. The
Prize Co. will take the Prize hall for
the term of five years, sc that $50 will
be very comfortably located until such
time as the new home can be erected,
and it is believed that by the time the
new lease has expired the lodge will
be in shape for building.

FARGO CONSERVATORY.

Fargo Conservatory OF Music is to
have q pupil OF the world famous pi-
anist, Rudolph GAM, at the head of
the piano department next season
Fargo music lovers have had the
pleasure of hearing Mr.. CAM in re-
cital and they will be pleased to know
that there will soon be n Of his pu-
pills at this conservatory. Walter
William Kammerling will arrive here
about Sept. / to take up his duties as
head Of the plano and organ depart
ments of the conservatory. He is a
young man Of pleasing personality,
who has had much experience as a.
concert pianist and teacher, and he is
a lecturer-recitalist with the ability
to act as soloists on the same pro-
gramme. He has been most success
full as a teacher and attributes his
success to the facts, that he loves his
chosen work and that he has never
ceased to be a student himself. Per-
sons desiring to take up the study Of
piano cannot find q more c~onscien-
tious or painstaking instructor, and
the exceptional advantages he has had
are well worth considering when max
ing a choice Of teachers for next sea-
son.
Aslaug OLSEN Wright, the well
known teacher Of piano, is now work.
ing with her former teacher, Glen
billiard Gum, the Chicago teacher and
critic, preparing new material for her
class in the Fargo conservatory next
season. A number OF her former pu-
pills have already signiied their in
tention of continuing work with her
next year.
Helen Won Phul, who has had charge
of the piano department and normal
work during the summer term, has
made many friends by her charming
manners and conscientiousness Of
purpose in her work.
Summer school is progressing nicely
with a larger enrolment than last
year.
Director Orr made a flying trip to
Chicago last week on business, being
away from the conservatory only
three days.
Lillian G. Wright, a member Of the
piano department of the Fargo con-
servatory, had quite an honor be-
slowed upon her when she was chosen
as the accompanied for the Norwegian
sangerfest held in this city last week.
She Is an accompanist Of few equals
and Mr.. Holmquist paid her a well
earned compliment when he said:
Enough cannot be said about the
work OF Lillian G. Wright who played
my accomplishments to my entire sat
isfaction."

more valuable and more productive
year by year. 1t Is a notable fact that
has been repeated over and over to
he American farmer, that the aver
age production per acre of the Euro
pean countries, particularly England,
France and Germany, is over twice
the average production of the same
crops in the United States. Wherein
lies the difference? 1t is not because
European lands are naturally more
fertile than American but because
they are farmed more intensively. The
land is better prepared for the seed,
plowed deeper, worked more before
seeding, and as far as possible the
lands that are to be planted in the
spring are plowed in the fall and al
lowed to weather during the winter, a
system that deserves to be greatly
extended on the American farms, es-
pecially in our corr lands.
Every day the necessity. becomes
greater for the American farmer to
pay some attention to the preserya-
ton and ~rejuvenation of the soil. The
time must come when the farmer who
neglects methods toward that end will
be outlawed, for 1t is hardly today
less than a crime against his kind.
When the population was small in
this country an there was an abund-
ance of good land to be had for the
occupancy of it, few thought OF 1t.
But now the land is practically all
taken up, and the day seems to be in
| sight when the growth OF population
will enlarge to It's full capacity OF
more the demands upon the land. IL
is not wonderful that those who take
intelligently into account the welfare
OF the country and its people are dis
posed to look upon robbery OF the sol
