Canada, remember, regards Uncle
Sam MS the horrible example of waste
in this respect, and Canada, even with
her admitted waste, averages five
more bushels of wheat to the acre
Considering this fact and the compare.
tive acreage of the two countries under
cultivation, together with the fact that
Uncle Sam has been longer engaged in
impOverishing his land does a billion
dollars seem too high an estimate of
the annual loss9
If it does, add to 1t the fact that the
American farmer speaking generally,
is the most improvident in the world
with his farm machinery, and there is
a big annual loss from neglect or mis-.
use of that.
About here some one will bob up and
say that the figures are all wrong be.
cause any such increased production
would knock prices silly.
Well, it would-if it came suddenly;
and it would affect prices if it came
gradually, which is the only way it
can come, But the farmer would make
more on his increased yield and the
consumer would pay less, which ought
to be satisfactory to both. As for the
loss, it is only showing what the far
mer throws away at present prices.
And if the farmer did all asked Of
him, he would only be averaging per
acre what England averages now.
Again it will be claimed that the
farmer could not market any more than
he produces now, and there are some
excellent authorities, not engaged in
farming, who hold that view. The
marketing facilities are not what they
should be, as will be shown later, but
they certainly increase with increased
business. Anyhow, the present purpose
is to find out where the money goes,
and some of it has been traced.
The farmer throws it away, and the
consumer pays the bill. The consumer
ultimately pays all bills.

some idea of the efforts being made
to stop this loss.
Professor Thomas Shaw, of st. Paul,
an authority in agricultural matters,
is more definite with regard to the
loss, g estimate,' he says, "that in
wheat and flax alone the state of
North Dakota is shipping out each
year fertility to the amount of $50.
oOOoOO. No country can con.
tinue indefinitely to ship out its fertil.
ity' The end must come at last"
Fifty millions from one state! And
there is no reason to believe that
North Dakota is any worse than any
other state in proportion to its grain
acreage. A billion doesn't seem such
big estimate for the whole country.
does it2
Then from the experiment station
at the University of Minnesota we get
this: "Where wheat is a continuous
crop for eight years the loss of nitro,
gen is 100 pounds per acre." And the
value of nitrogen is 16A cents
pound.
Figure it out for yourself! 1t comes
to the tidy total of $27625 for one
acre, enough to buy another farm,
where this practice is continued, as it
has been and still is continued in many
districts.
Then Canada estimates her loss at
half billion dollars, which is really
the best basis to figure on, for the Ca.
madam conservation commission has
made an exhaustive investigation of
the subject The commission reports
that elf the farmers on the average
throughout Canada farmed as well as
the fifty best farmers whose farms
have been surveyed, the result would
be the doubling of field crops from the
lands now in use within three years. "
And the valuation of the field crops
of Canada ranges from half to three
quarters of billion dollars, annually.
Again you can figure it out for your.
self. 1t would take three years to re.
cover from the effects of improvident
farming, but the result would be tire.

Who gets the money!

VINO gets the money!
Why, the farmer throws away about
a billion dollars of it annually.
Somebody ought to get that and
somebody does get part Of it at any
rate, for the farmer has to buy back
much that he throws away. Incident.
ally, the farmer has to get the money
10 buy it back from that which he sells,
so, as usual, the consumer pays. If
the farmer were bit more provident
he would have to pay less. That would
be very nice all round, for billion
dollars is a whole lot Of money. Di-
vided up among so many of us it may
not be so dreadful much and it rep.
resents only part of the increased
cost of living, but it is a very tidy
sum, just the same.
Standard Oil wouldn t consider it too
small sum to save. Show Standard
Oil how to have a billion dollars and
you can have million for pocket mon
edy. Yet the farmer throws it awayl
Perhaps that seems too large a waste
to be credible, but there are facts in
plenty to warrant the estimate. For
it is purely an estimate, of course; no
one has counted the money, and no one
could possibly say within thousand
dollars or a hundred thousand dollars
of how much it exactly totals, but
there is evidence TO show that the esti
mate is not so desperately far out of
the way.

Now, LETT see what this improvi-
dent farming costs Uncle Sam.
Uncle Sam himself will not even
hazard guess, although he admits
that it is tremendous sum and shows
his recognition of that fact by spend.
ing large sums of money to remedy
conditions. He says through his bu.
reau of soils that he has ono definite
information or figures showing the
monetary loss to the country in general
or in any one locality due to nwise
methods of cultivation or handling Of
soils" He does say this, however,
which throws a good deal of light on
the subject of loss by showing what
might be done:
'The farmers cooperative demon.
stration work, now carried on in 10
states, employs 375 travelling agents
and has many thousands Of demonstra.
tion farms. It has proved by results
on thousands Of farms that preparation
Of the soil so as to make the best seed
bed adds 100 per cent to the average
crop on similar lands with an average
preparation in the old way; that the
planting Of the best seed makes a fur.
ther gain of so per cent; and that
shallow, frequent cultivation produces
an increase Of another so per cent;
making a total gain Of 200 per cent
or a crop three times the average crop
produced onthose farms where the
plans and methods Of demonstration
work have not been adopted" "
That covers a pretty big stretch Of
country and shows a big, although in.
definite loss as compared with what
the land might produce. It also gives
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1913-06-28


there is evidence to show that the esti
mate is not so desperately far out of
the way.
To understand it, it is necessary to
know of what the loss consists-the
form that it takes-and that calls for
brief explanation. 1t may be dry
reading for a minute or two, but it is
not intended to give any treatise on
farming, and the man who pays the
bin ought to be willing to dig into
few dry facts for his own understand
ing of what he pays.
You cannot grow wheat year after
year on the same land without a stimuli
taneOus impOverishment Of the soil and
diminution of the average yield. A few
years of such course will lead to bar
rem acres and exhausted farms. A
bushel of wheat takes about 30 cents
worth of fertility, nitrogen, from the
soil in which it was grown. This fer.
tility is shipped out Of the country
with the wheat. Certain other crops
will put it back, but they will be q
long time putting it back if the soil
is greatly exhausted. 1t is not neces.
sary here to explain what those crops
are or how they should be rotated.
1t is the fact that continuous growing
of wheat does do this that is import
ant, and, in spite of the advice of ex-
perts and the work agricultural expert
ment stations and other educational
agencies, continuous wheat growing on
the same land is the custom in large
part of the country.
The farmer who does this either has
to buy his fertility back in the form
of commercial fertilizer, for which the
consumer pays, or else let his land de,
teriorate and become unproductive, in
which case the consumer also pays for
the lessening of crop acreage and
yields. A farmer doing this would be
no consequence, but great number of
them doing it materially helps to lift
the cost of living.
