National Crop Improvement ServIce.]
There is nothing which endangers
America so much today as our very
much abused farm tenant system. We
ought to have something in every
lease which will protect land and pro.
tect the people as we'll as posterity.
Year to year tenants who scratch a
little and move away, should be COM
PEELED to settle down and landlords
should be be compelled to make q
time rotation lease. 1t is easy to talk
about compelling this and compelling
that, but we mostly are a very sloppy
people whose motto is. "the easiest
way is the best"
If we let our soil run down, our
whole structure will fall. In order to
obtain larger yield of grain; this soil
must be fed. The colleges and expert.
ment stations beyond the Mississippi
river are entirely too timid about
preaching soil conservation. In fact
Ill Of Us are rather prone to toll our
audience what We think they would
rather hear.
