ABUSING THE SOIL IS A
SURE ROAD TO POVERTY.
Improper TiIIass 10 the Mark Of 9 Poor,
~lmprovident Farmer and an I'm
patriotic American.

A man has NO more right to abuse
the soil than he has to abuse his team
Of horses or his family. And, further
more, the farmer who insists upon
growing wheat and only wheat one
year after another is entitled to fail
ure and through such failure rids the
country Of the abuse Of its greatest
natural resources. Those are the views
Of President j. H. Worst Of the North
Dakota Agricultural college.
1.-THE systematic farmer Is usually a
successful farmer" President Worst
says. THE man that farms without
system seldom makes a glowing sue
cess. The all wheat farmer has no
system in the accepted sense and will
ultimately fail. He should fail: not
that any one should predict or desire
another's misfortune, but the soil is
abused by the n crop farmer, and he
should fail In order to rid the country
of the abuse OF its greatest natural re-
source. Generations yet unborn will
depend as much upon the soil for sus-
tenance as the man that originally filed
on it or that Is now farming 1t.
1.-The systematic farmer works out q
system by which he may so diversity
his crops as to employ his time somc<
what evenly throughout the year; that
he may maintain. even increase. the
fertility OF his land; that he may de-
stroy weeds and otherwise conserve
moisture and by thus using his mental
faculties as well as his hands prevent
the many evils that befnll the hap
hazard farmer.
I'm the long rum" President Worst
The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1912-01-06

continued, sufficient moisture to sup
ply the growing crop throughout the
spring and summer months Is the de
termining factor that governs the size
and certainty of the harvest. One
farmer plows four inches deep. when
he gets ready, and uses a drag just
enough to smooth the surface. He
sows the remnant Of wheat that is left
over after selling what can be spared
and depends upon Providence to water
his fields as the crops may need 1t. His
neighbor plows eight inches deep as
early as possible, following the plow
with a subsurface packer. and the
packer with the drag the same day.
If IL rains the water all goes into the
soil. because he has prepared a place
for its reception. Then he drags the
field again to hold the water in the
soil. He selects only plump. perfect
seed for sowing, having previously
thoroughly cleaned and graded II.
During the early part of the growing
season he uses the drag as often as
the dashing rains form a crust over
the ground and keeps wedding or drag
ging the fields until the grain eventual
ly shades the soil.
"'The bugaboo Of too much work Is
sheerest fallacy. The extra draggings
and the extra disking will not cost to
exceed 81 an acre. Farming amy old
way costs. counting interest on invest
ment, seed and labor, approximately
81 an acre. By applying the additional
81 worth OF labor to each acre the
chances are as good for getting a dou-
Bile profit as for getting any profit with
out the extra 81 worth of labor. Thus
half the profits may be credited to
about one-seventh or one-eighth the
total cost of production st Paul

A MUNICIPAL PAWN SHOP

Lat year marked the fftieth ami
versary of the Moscow city pawnshop.
and the city council prepared a most
interesting review Of the activity Of
this undertaking.
The ~pawnshop accepted In pawn for
the period $500. 800 articles. valued at
So. 167 ,124. the average value Of each
article being thus approximately S5.15.
Redemptions Of pledges totaled S24.-
252. I91. while 215.07O articles. worth
SO. 7S2, 005, were sold at auction. and
45,167 pawns. valued at S593 1892. were
left with the shop. The gross income
of the ~pawnshop for the fifteen years
equals 81, .110. the expenses being
$2.055,S54, from which S1.325.11 L was
expended for maintenance, the balance
being payment of interest on the capt.
tai.
During the first eight years the shop
continually lost money. the total reach
ing $54,5S0. The only year which
brought profit was 1000. when 5000
was made. Beginning with 1904 and
up TO 1910. inclusive. the operations Of
the pawnshop showed profit. In 1904
the profit was $7,333; in 1905. $0.O67:
In 1909. S57. SOB. and in 1910. $40. So4.
In 1910 there were 551. 1872 pawns,
valued at So. 121 .341. of which $50. 95S.
worth $2,913.9 6S. were redeemed.
Compared with 1909. there were 1918
fewer articles pawned. but the capital
invested was S1G9.431 more. while the
pawn redemptions were greater by
S1S1, 633.

CulIed Fresh From the Farm
MACHINERY COMMON SENSE.

In his book on rural economics
Professor r. N. Carver Of Hnr-
ward university gives a few
facts relating to the annual de-
probation Of farm machinery
and incidentally takes up the
question Of rational or irrational
method CT purchasing machin- :
cry. Among other things Pro-
fessor Carver says:
It Is a notorious fact that farm
machinery de~teriorates very rapid
iy. and the cost OF deterioration will
surprise any farmer who has not
kept accounts over a period OF
years. According to Investigations
carried on by the Minnesota expert
ment station over a period OF five
years.. the average annual depreci-
alton of farm machinery was 73
per cent. The estimates vary with
different implements from ass per
cent for farm wagons to 1903 per
cent for corn binders. Therefore
the farmer needs to calculate very
. carefully before buying an ex-
pensive machine to make sure h a
he has use enough for 1t to give
him a safe margin of profit over
any probable cost in the way OF in
t~erest. maintenance. repairs and de-
terioration. He must be able to see
pretty definitely just where he is
going to get his money ~back-that
is, where he will save enough in his
wages bill IL he is an employer of
labor OF where he will increase h
product of his farm enough to rec
ompense him for his outlay. with a
safe margin of profit TO cover possi-
BILE miscalculation. However. over
caution in this direction is as bad
as too little caution. While too lit
tie caution will bring speedy bank
ruptcy. too much perpetuates back
ward or unprogressive methods OF
agriculture and toilsome and mo-
notonous drudgery in the life OF tho
farmer. Having made a careful cal

Bushes may be protected from such
