November 20, 1918.

The Executive Board meeting of the
November 25th at the Temple House. A
resolution asking that the women Of
America be represented at the Peace
Table was unanimously endorsed. In
view of the facts that women have
taken so large part in winning the war,
that one of the greatest issues of the
war was democracy, that womanhood
constitutes so goodly part Of humanity,
and inasmuch as it is understood that
this democracy is meant for all human
ity, we heartily desire an expression Of
American womanhood in favor of the
adoption Of this resolution.
Invitations for thirty or more soldiers
and sailors had been procured at the
homes of various members of the Council
for Thanksgiving entertainment by the
following committee: Mrs. Jonas We'll,
Mrs. Chas. Rauch, Mrs. Geo. Kaufman,
Mrs. N. N. Cohen. Council members are
also preparing to render personal SER
vice to wounded soldiers at Fort Shell
ing and assist in supply Of delicacies
for them.
A house to house solicitation for funds
from Council members to meet the ex-
penses Of the organization is to be COM
pleted this week before the War Chest
drive begins. This campaign has been
under the direction of Mrs. H. J. Davis,
chairman of finance and entertainment.
A membership campaign is also on foot.
Through the courtesy and cooperation Of
presidents of the various Jewish societies,
the aims and opportunities for united
Jewish womanhood is being presented
The present membership of the Council
is 28O, and it is hoped this campaign
will prove successful
The next regular monthly meeting of
the Council will take place Saturday
afternoon, Dec. 7th at 2:30 p. m. at the
Institute Of Arts, Twenty-fourth and
Stevens avenue instead of at the Temple
House. There will be vocal solo by
Hazel ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of the

GRAFTON, little thinking that some day it
might go on a strike-refuse to pro
duce Il bOuntiful harvest and so help
to again fasten upon us those shaclleS
Of autocracy from which we thought
ourselves forever free.
Usua! Methods Wear Soil.
Every since the Pilgrims landed at
Plymouth Rock American farmers
have been going West to take up new
land as fast as the old farms began to
wear out. We are now beginning to
appreciate the fact that in this respect
we have come to ''the end of our rope"
and we have arrived just about as
gracefully as the spring calf arrives
at the end Of mis- rope when he is tied
for the first time to the apple tree in
the orchard. There is only one crop
Of land and the best part of the crop
has already been harvested.
The first settlers in New York built
their barns on the bank of the Hud
son river so that they could throw
tie manure into the water, thinking
the soil was so rich that it could never
be exhausted. The next generation
learned differently. Here in Wiscon-
sin, the leading dairy center in the
world we are beginning to realize that
produce is returned to the land
even this generous treatment is not
sufficient in itself to maintain fertility.
Are Our Soils Wearing Out?
In order that we might have some
definite information on this subject a
careful study has recently been made
of crop production records for a num-
Der of representative counties in Wis
consin. An average was taken for the
four years beginning with 1880, and
four years beginning with 1910. 1t
was found that in one of the leading
dairy sections of Wisconsin the aver
age yields of corn, oats, and barley
for the last period were from 16 to "a
per cent less than they were for SINH
lar period thirty years previous. A SINH
lar condition was found to prevail in
other counties.
In the face of this evidence there
is only one conclusion at which we
can arrive. and that is that with the
usual methods of farming our soils will
gradually wear out. Many of our soils
need lime and phosphorus. Some need
potassium and nitrogen. Some have
never been in running order due to
lack OF drainage and proper tillage.
