OF soil fertility. This period of ex-
ploitive farming is now past The cost
OF production is now enhanced by low
yields, or the use Of expensive methods
OF maintaining high yields. Whether
the era Of cheap and abundant food Is
past depends on our ability as people
TO develop cheaper and better means
OF production than now prevail. We
no longer have unlimited undeveloped
agricultural resources. Future increase
IN production must come largely from
better methods Of farming. Whether
we, as nation. shall attain these i'm
proved methods after a long period
OF depression, accompanied by slow
adjustment to new conditions, as has
been the case in older countries, or
whether we shall attack the problem
resolutely and intelligently and adopt
improved methods as soon as the sit
uation demands, depends on the effi-
cheney of those agencies that in recent
years have been built up in this coun-
try with view to meeting the prob
lens Of soil conservation and agricul-
tural reimbursement
The effect of live stock on the fer
tility of the soil needs no demonstra-
ton. 1t Is we'll known to every in
telligent farmer. Up to the present
time, at least, no system of agricul-
ture has been permanently profitable
without the use of domestic animals
as a means Of maintaining the pro-
of the soil.
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1915-07-13

How to restore and maintain the
productivity of the soil is the most
important phase of the conservation
problem. We are no longer a ne"
nation. We have deluded ourselves
with the idea that we have unlimited
resources in land, in forests, in mineral
wealth. We have been prodigal in the
utilization Of these resources. we
must now pay the penalty OF this
prodigality. In many Of our older
communities soil fertility has been re-
duced below the point of profitable
production. Nationwide effort at the
present time, through federal and
state agency, is directed toward the
restoration of fertility in these locali-
ties, It is now necessary that intelli-
gent and vigorous effort be made to
farm correctly. We must cease
abusing the soil. The domestic ami
mai. with well-managed pastures and
rational systems of crop rotation, lis
pre-eminently adapted to the develop
ment of permanent systems of profit
able farming. Land owners must
realize this and must take steps to
improve renting methods by stocking
farms with full complement of do
nestle animals, where the renter is
not able to do this for himself, and
by giving longer leases. whereby the
renter may reap the reward Of intelli-
gent management. ..

SOIL CONSERVATION OF NATIONAL IMPORTANCE
Increasing Improved of
Farming Methods Employed
~ Best Adapted to the Maintenance of Soil Fertility
BY w. j. SPILLMAN

Land owned originally by the gov
eminent has, in the main, been wisely
given into the hands OF millions of
small owners each Of whom manages
his own holdings as an Independent
proprietor. This method of disposing
Of the national domain has led to the
rapid creation of well-distributed
wealth. 1t has meant conservation
by utilization on the part Of maxi
mum number Of private owners. But
the very magnitude and richness of
this heritage has led to such prodi-
period of settlement Is practically past,
we find ourselves confronted with In
creased demands for food, which must
be met by soils that have been de-
pleted Of much of their yielding power.
This Is an important factor In the re-
cent increase in the cost of food.
The problem Of cheap and album
dant food Is a fundamental one in all
industrial development. 1t was the
abundance and cheapness Of food that
made possible the marvellous progress
witnessed in this country during the
past century. During the last sixty
years we have brought into cultivation
the largest and richest body of agri-
cultural land in the world. While this
of abundant crops was accomplished
at little expense and with little knowl-
edge Of the principles of conservation

FIGHTING FOR PURE MILK.

Milk is certainly the most important
article of food in the human dietary
and it is also the most communicable.
1t is. therefore, up to the farmer to
see that the milk from his dairy gets
to city babies in as reasonable a state
of cleanliness as possible Not that
this is an exclusively baby problem,
for all sorts of diseases are carried
through milk. tuberculosis is an ex-
ample Of this class, and number Of
epidemics of diptheria and scarlet
fever have been traced to the milk
supply. but when we pause to consider
that one-f1fth Of all the babies born
in the United States die in their in
fancy from preventable diseases, and
that sixty per cent of these are due
to gastro-intestinal diseases, due to
improper feeding or impure milk, we
naturally begin to look into the cause.
