(From the summertown Press.)

The bureau of soils in the de-
partment of agriculture in the
United States is publishing a lot
of scientific formulas that are di.
rectly opposite to the conclusions
reached by the scientific expert
ments of other bodies. The gov
eminent officials hold and so in
struct the farmers that there is
sufficient vegetable matter in the
soil to supply the waste caused by
the drain of the crops on the soil
and that it is not necessary to re,
new the waste for as they contend
the soil will live forever without
this depending on this natural sup
ply. The scientific bodies contend
on the contrary that the crops ex-
haust the soil and that it needs
cOnstantrenewal by artificial means
There can be no question but the
scientific bodies are right and the
government experts are wrong.
Following the ideas of these gov
eminent experts thousands of
farms in New England have been
entirely exhausted and the pro.
prietors forced to abandon them
and seek homes in other and new.
or fields. If the ideas of these 10.
norant government experts are tC
prevail the South and Vest will
become in future years what New
England is. The farmers of the
country should get wise to thu.
and take care of their lands while
they can.
