proximately appreciate how cempara- lively little the farmer actually does in the great process of crop-growing. To blow millions of acres furrow by furrow, to spend millions of dollars on fertilizers, and to reap and gather and thresh, is no mean task. And yet compared with the part that Nature plays in the process, mans work seems a very lsight labor. For instance, it takes about 20 inches of rainfall to grow a food crop under our general farming methods, which means about 2,260 ton sof water to the acre That seems a preposterous figure, but the doubter can easily demonstrate its correctness. Suppose the American farmer had to haul the water his ground must have to give him a good crop, and that the distance and freight rate were the same as the average rail- road haul and rate in the United States. On that basis, it would cost him more than S4,000 an acre to water his place.
 But not only would his water bill be nearly half a million dollars on a 100acre farm, but his fertilizer bill, also, would amount to a neat little sum. It is estimated that in the process of normal evaporation, soil water pre- SentS the rootletS of it's neighborhood with about fourteen pounds Of ammo nia a year to the acre. Also, it gives them some 57 pounds of potash. With 1 suphate of ammonia costing oly cents
 a pound Git cost 1-2 during the War)
 and a hundred pounds of the sulphate
 required to contribute r pounds of
 ammonia, it will be seen that the pro-
 cess of evaporation gives the rootIets l S1.65 worth of ammonia to the acre 1 When the World War cut off Ger
 man supplies of potash and it scared
 to s400 a ton, geogolists secured the United States for the priceless ferti- lizer with little success. Yet the pro-
 cess of evaporation generously hands out more than half a hundredweight
 to the acre, in war and peace. This au- 1 tomatic fertilization is worth an ad-
 ditional S2.50 an acre to the farmer al
 present prices, and would have cost tn; $10 an acre at war prices.
 From this it will be seen that thu SIP to $25 an acre that it costs tn, average farmer to grow wheat is !;
 small figure indeed, compared to wha he saves by having Nature as his wa
 ter wagon and fertilizer source

Beginning of Whale Fishing.

The date when whale fishing was started is uncertain, but 1t is said ths Norwegians were active in that trade as early as S37. The business hsd been largely developed in 157S, the coast of Greenland being one of the best fishing grounds known for whales. the size and output of oil making the Greenland whale eagerly sought.

GROWING THEIR TREES
Lumber Company Starts A New Poll
cy And Fine Town Is One OF The
Results.

heSu1IS
There is hardly a newspaper or
magazine in the country that has not
at some time or other in the last year
or so proclaimed the +; pid depletion
of our timber resources. We are told
that if the present rate of consump-
tiOn continues without the creation.
through refOrestatiOn, Ct vast new
sources Of supply, within the life
time of a child born today we will
have only treeless wastes to con-
template, the lumber and paper in
dustries will be dead, and wood the
most high priced of all building ma
terials The remedy is there, writes
Arthur Newton Park in the Ameri-
can Forestry Magazine of Washing
ton, but who is willing to apply it
Federal and State governments
can and will expend great sums OF
money for example and encourage
ment; private individuals may under
take smaller projects; but every year
our wood-using industries continue
to denude an acreage about as large
as the State of Massachusetts, and
the State of Massachusetts, and the
situation an be but little improved.
Ultimately it must be those great
industries themselves, which. with
an awakened consciousness of the
emergency confronting them, and
with the cooperation of public opin-
ion as we'll as governmental agencies,
will meet the issue.
One of the largest manufacturers
of wood products announces that it
has now permanently established it
self in Louisiana. 1t will never
again cut out the last of its timber
and pull up stakes in the old way to
follow the ever-receding forest, pc
cause through reforestation its own
supply is to be maze ineXhaustible.
In common with most other lumber
manufacturers, the management of
this company once looked askance on
the idea of reforestation. Their
hope was to build up, cO-incident
with the lumber industry, great
agricultural center based on the cut
over lands, which, when the mill had
done its work, was to give profitable
occupation to all.
After several years Of experiment.
ing however, 1t was evident that the
returns were hardly sufficient to
form the basis of industrial perm
anency. 1t was then that the natur-
al regrOwth of certain cut-over sec
tions began to direct their attention
of the idea of reforestation, and the
new policy was the result. Now
town with ali modern Improvements
has been built at BOgaluSa La.

III, Irish Republican leader, and his
colleagues who accompanied him to
iundon for the conference with Prime
Minister I.luyU George. III the effort
- lay 1h' basis Of 4 tri-rarty confer
once for ii solution OF the Irish ques-
ton, are marking time in anticipation
Of the conversation of de Valera ana
lhe premier tomorrow.
1t is reported Lloyd George will
have certain propositions to present
10 the Irish leader which then will
have received the approval of the Brit
ish cabinet.
The spokesman Of the Irish delegates
characterized their attitude as still
.Ut unh0petul." With reference to the
statement of Sir James Craig, Ulster
,remier. in which he said il only re
manned now for de Valera and the
British people to come to terms re-
@arding the area outside that of which
s!e is prime minister. and that the pe0-
,le of Northern Ireland made no claim
whatever 10 determine" the terms of
settlement which Great Britain should
make with Southern Ireland. the
Spokesman said:

uSSed.
Later ii was reported General Jan
christian SmutS, who talked with
members of the British cabinet during
he morning, might go to Belfast in
he capacity of Il non-partisan inter-
ncdiary. De Valera and his party
made it known they considered it prob
llIe they would return to Dublin at
The weekend for review of the
events of the last fortnight.
In some quarters Sir James Craig's
statement is referred to as a disagree
able shock, which brings matters TO a
critical stage and CAUSES a very uife
! promising and unpleasara position. 1t
is pointed out de Valera is fnfiexible
in his demand that listers autonomy
must be derived from an all-Irish par
lament sitting at Dublin, while the
Ulster leaders are equally determined
that the Ulster parliament be subOr-
dinate only to Great Britain.
Several newspapers assert if this
attitude is persisted in all negotiations
must break down, while others advance
!he belief if the present conference
fails, parliament may be dissolved and
he issue submitted to the British peo
pie in a general election.

PhilYdei piIia, July 2O.-Headed by

powerful enough To render an indi-
vidual or a mob Of great >i::, perfect
ly harmless for period of Il half
hour and yet leave no effect injuriuu>
to the health of those upon whom il
is released.
In the meadow Of the city'S farm a
target about ten feet square WA!
marked off, and six policemen undH
the direction of Major Stephen j. d,
La Noy, formerly an assistant of Gen,
pral Frease bombed the AREA. When
!; sufficient cloud of gas had gathered
the police, led by Superintendent Mills
and Lieutenant Stuckert. dashed into
the fumes.
But, it soon became apparent that
they didn't like the idea of choking
when the affair was only an expert
ment. Many of the valiant men who
guard the city had Il feeling that often
comes over little boys after they had
eaten too many green apples. The
gas is decidedly nauseating.
As they hit the bombed" target
there was Il very noticeable movement
from all for the hip pocket. No, you
are wrong-they wanted to get their
handkerchiefS and wipe away those
big tears that Major de La Noy had
told them were certain to flow. They
backed away, but the leader refused
to LEI the men retreat, and, like Il reg
ular movie soldier in the face of DEATH
waved his arm and shouted Onward

men" (ch0king this time). But credit
To them, they went on and took all
that was coming to them until they
were forced to scatter TO all points of
the field for fresh air.
