DAVID WHITE ON
UP SOIL.

PROF. DAVID WHITE, the govern
ment geologist who was here Sunday
examining the Elko shale deposits, is
. most interesting talker and he is
not at all reluctant in expressing his
views on almost any subject.
He deprecated the boasting habit
That many western people have. He
said that back in the Mississippi val
ley they used to boast that their soil
was inexhaustible. They were then
getting thirty bushel of wheat to the
acre. Now the production has run
down to only fifteen bushels.
The farmers allow the soil to ex.
hsnst Itself and they do nothing 10
build 1t UP. There is no rotation Of
crops and the legumes and other
plants that harbor the nitrate storing
microbes are not cultivated.
Prof. White pointed out that this
would be the fate of the western
states In time unless they profiied by
the experience of others. The soil
should be constantly built up. This
building up process can be carried on
at q profit.
The loss of soil and fertility by
foods and erosion in the east has been
very great. In Nevada this danger Is
not 30 great. But even here in Ne
Vada we want to conserve our soil.
In the words Of this geologist the
o Is the foundation Of our perma.
nent prosperity. When we take a ton
OF lead or zinc from the earth that
resource is gone forever. The earth
will never grow another zinc and lead
crop In that same mine.
But with Il soil it Is different.
Deep blowing and intensive cultiva-
ton will build up the fertility of the
land. There is an inexhaustible sup
ply of fertilizing nitrogen in the at
mosDhere. There Is also an abund-
ance OF phosphate rocks in Wyoming
and other parts of the west. The west
too has potash salts. These are the
fertilizers that will renew any soil
and make even a barren rock produc.
tive. Every farmer should make 1t a
rule to add some fertilizer to his land
each year.
Prof. White also touched upon the
necessity for conserving our water
supply. He deplored the fact that 80
much water each year Is allowed to
go to waste in Nevada. He predicted
that the tine was not far away when
every drop OF moisture in Nevada
would be conserved and utilized either
In storage reservoirs or by dry farm.

NOAH GUILTY
OF MANS FALL.

And SO 1t was really Noah that first
ate the forbidden fruit in the Garden
of Eden! The grudge that the human
race has held against Mother Eve all
these thousands Of years Is proved
groundless. The memory of poor old
Eater Adam Is cleared. I'm Noah's
fall we sin-ned all" so the catechism
of the future may run.
That is. If we accept the statement
made by a University of Pennsylvania
professor regarding the translation OF
an ancient brick tablet now In the uni.
versity museum.
The tablet Is said to be about 5000
years old, a thousand years or so older
than the Book Of Genesis, and there,
fore considered by profane historians
AS more authentic than that document
1t is inscribed In the Sumerian langu
age, which preceded the Assyrian and
Babylonian tongues In the Tigris-Eu
pirates valley.
1t seems that mankind lived in para
disc for a very long period. over 400.
600 years, ruled by ten kings whose
reigns averaged about 10000 years
apiece. Finally the gods were dis
pleased with the race, and sent the
great flood-about $4,000 B. c., accord
ing to Babylonian and Sumerian &C
counts-in which all but Noah and his
immediate relatives were drowned.
Noah, or Nuuh, as the Sumerians
called him, was saved by a ship pre-,
pared for him by the goddess Nintu
After the flood she introduced her
protege to the god Enki, who prepared
a new Eden for him, and placed him
In 1t as a gardener, telling him he
might eat Of any plant in the garden
except the cassia. He succumbed to
the temptation and ate of the bark OF
the cassia, whereupon the curse OF
sickness and early death fell upon
him. He succumbed In a few decades,
and all his posterity became subject
to the same fate.
We alays knew that Noah, though
originally a lust man." was an old
%reprobate after the flood, but we never
suspected him Of anything so bad as
this. Just to think that, but for Noah
we might all be eating the fruits and
vegetables of Eden, and living 10000
years!

R~ockEFELLER N
WAR

1T is hard to understand the logic
OF John d. Rockefeller and his son in
refusing to participate in the billion
dollar loan to the allies. Both have as
signed as their reason that they do
not wish to aid the belngerents in
Drolonging the war.
This Is the first known instance
where tn RocI:efellers have refused
to take their thirty pieces of silver
let the source he what what II may.
The foundations of The Rockefeller
fortune were laid by the most ruth.
warfare on competitors the world has
ever known. There has been nothing
In the present European conflict TO
equal the unscrupulousnecs of the
Rockefeller methods I'm tho early days.
Moreover, we have TO go back but
a very short time to the scenes in
the miners strike at Ludlow, Colo.
RADIO. Women and children were shot
down by the soldiers. There has been
nothing more bruta: in the Zeppelin
raids by Germany than was witnessed
In these Rockefeller coal mines.
ThiB does not necessarily touch up,
on the responsibility for that strike.
The miners may have been in the
wrong. But the fact remains that II
was war, and n word from the Rookie,
fellers at that time could have put q
stop to II.

Rockefeliers now to stand back dress
