STUDY OF THE SOILS.

mo industry is so vital to the we'll
| being of a nation as agriculture, and
nothing is so vital to agriculture as
the soil. From it's treasury it has been
estimated that we drew during the year
1909 more than IS, 296, 900, 900, and its
possibilities are as yet only partially
realized. There are still in this country
millions of acres which have felt
the pillow, while those which are now
under cultivation can, by the applica-
ton of scientific principles, be made to
produce many times the present yalu
of their products. How to use n not
abuse this great resource is the most
important problem which faces the far
mer of today-one worthy of the best
efforts of our most profound and learn
ed SCIENTISTS; for upon it's solution de-
ponds the future prosperity of the ma
ton"
The above is a statement from Bulle-
tin So of the Bureau of Soils relative to
the soils of the country. While a COM
paratively small percentage of the soils
of the United States have been survey
ed and analysed by the department,
more than 500 types of soils have been
discovered during the progress OF the
soil survey. The existence of such a
large variety of soil types, each poss-
.essed of definite and peculiar character
istics calls attention to the Importance
of a careful study of the soils and their
relation to agriculture. The bulletin
says:
THE old idea Of soil investigation
was to collect samples, tamil them
in h laboratory, and see hat differ
ences could there be determined; the
newer idea is to study the Characters
tics and properties Of soils in the field,
classify them according to obvious diff
f%erences, and, with this information in
hand, use the laboratory as a means of
ascertaining the cause of such varia-
ions as can not be determined in the
field. This method of attacking soil
problems is the reverse of the usual
practice, but because of the great diff
fculty in duplicating field conditions, 1t
is believed that a field examination
should precede laboratory studies. The
field observations can thus be used as
a check upon laboratory investigation
n as an aid in their Interpretation.
Field studies furnish a safe and neces-
sary anchor with which to keep the
laboratory eXperimenter from being
dashed against the rock of pure specu-
lation. The classifying and mapping
of the various soil types, together with
the study of the conditions and pro-
cesses under which they have been
formed. will furnish essential and in
valuable data for the conduct of lab
oratory Investigations. Natures great
laboratory is in the field, and a study
of her methods can not fail to offer
many valuable suggestions, and in some

THE ELECTION IN MOORHEAD
Weather Fin But ThrcatenIuE-EHrly
Voters More Numerous.

The weather for the general election
today was dul and heavy and the gen.
eral outlook was that snow was eX-
pected to be falling every minute, but
the "beautiful" had not put in an ap-
pearance up to the minute of going to
press.
The early vote, with the exception Of
the First ward, was larger than usual,
especially so in the Fourth ward which
was much larger. At noon over 1875
votes had been cast. In the First ward
26 votes had been cast, in the second
so, and in the third so. 1t is late in
the afternoon and this evening when
the judges and clerks of election will
be kept busy. The polls close at 8
o'clock this evening.
At each of the polling places the
election officials gave it out that the
figures on the presidential candidates
would be compiled first as that was the
feature of the election on which the pub
lie had centered it's interest. 1t will pro-
baby be 10 o'clock before the first re-
turns will be ready from the city pre-
cincts. There may be earlier figures
from some of the country precincts.
Returns at the COmstOck.
Complete returns will be reported to
the Comstock hotel where complete re-
turns from all over the country will
be available to the guests n general
public.

cases, is the only means Of solving her
problems. 1t is through a combination
of field and laboratory Investigations
that an understanding of this extreme
ly complex body-the soil--can be
reached"
The bulletin treats exhaustively the
soils, their origin, formation and best
treatment for agricultural purposes,
the great difference between the many
types, and adds:
"Since the soil varies so much as
constituents, marked differences in
character must necessarily result from
the almost indefinite number of COM
binations which may be found All
these differences, however, may be
traced to I'VE sets of factors: First, the
character of the rock or material from
which the soil has been derived: and,
second, the processes or agencies by
means of which this material has been
changed from mere rock or rock debriA
into a medium suitable for the growth
Of plants. The former has to do with
soil Informing material, the latter with
soil-forming agencies. To these two
groups of factors are to be attributed
the numerous variations in soil condi-
tions found over various parts Of the
earth.
The Importance of distinguishing be-
tween these two groups of factors can
not be too strongly emphasized. The
tendency in the past has been to stress
the former to the neglect of the latter
and this has resulted in classifying to-
er, simply because they were derived
from the same rocks or from rocks,
which nave been formed in the same

The New Tropies.

The Survey: Sanitation, on the 18th
mus of Panama according to James
Ten Boeck Bowles, the physiologist of
the canal commission, has converted
a territory known for several hundred
years as the worst kind of pest hole
into delightful health resort. Mr..
Bowles in The Survey even asserts
that in consequence, there is a prob
ability that the tropics will resume
place as the forcing beds of hui
man progress. This position was lost
because of the devastation of disease
in tropical countries. BUT now white
men, he says, may work in any part
of the tropics and maintain good
health. Z
The success Of the sanitary work Of
Colonel Gorgas on the isthmus is now
well konwn, but in the. searly days of
the American occupation, when yellow
fever began to attack the canal force,
many people looked upon the mosqui-
to theory as a failure. Not until adj
equate water and sewer systems were
installed vas yellow fever conquered.
Mr.. Bowles declares that, Judging
by the alarm caused by the compare
lively mild epidemic Of 1906, there is
no doubt ,ilat IL the American force
had had the same amount of
yellow fever that the French had the
work of constructing THE canal would
have been stopped on account Of lack

CITY OF BEMIDJI
LOST REX Hotel
LIGHTED MATCH THROWN DOWN
AN AREA WAY ALLEGED TO
HAVE BEEN THE CAUSE OF
BURNING OF HOTEL BUILDING
Loss ESTIMATED AT $s5,ooo.

The Rex hotel at Bemidji, Mimi. &C
cording to a telephone message. was
totally destroyed by fire at an early
hour this morning. The cause Of the
destruction is alleged to have been
the throwing Of a lighted match down
one Of the areas in front Of the build
ing in which was a lot of old waste
paper, thrown in there or blown in by
the wind.
The loss. which Is reliably estimated
at $4,000. includes the building and
furniture. The building was crowded
with regular and itinerant guests, all
Of whom escaped from the building
and it is stated that there was not
one personal accident.
The burned building was the prop
erty Of F. s. Lycan & Co., who also
owned the Markham hotel property.
