Permanent soil fertility is the fund
amental basis of permanent agrlcui-
ture. and the conservation of soil ter-
tility is the greatest problem of agrl-
culture. Unless the fertility removed
from the soil by the growth Of crops IS
returned the land eventually becomes
So reduced in plant food that profitable
crops cannot be grown. Farmers prac-
ticing this system have very properly
been called "mine farmers because
they are constantly mining out the
fertility, or plant food, and hauling II
svav from their farms without replac-
ING it. Soil fertility is like bank ac-
connt. If the farmer continually
draws on the stock of plant food con-
tanned in his soil without replacing the
amount withdrawn, it will be come ex-
hausted so far as profitable crop yields
are concerned, just as surely as VIII

exhausted If he continues to write
checks without making deposits.
Whether or not it is possible to main
tain fertility where grain crops are
raised and sold and commercial FER
tilizers are used, it is certain that II is
seldom done. Grain farming has al
WAYS meant selling fertility that mas
been stored up in past ages, and mas
been followed by impoverished soils
and improbable agriculture. The boys

The location of the other four wells

1t was announced that if oil is not
struck the company will drill to at
least $500 feet before abandoning the
well, thorough test being made to
determine whether or not oil or other
valuable mineral resources could be
found here. Dirt drawn from the

found in Usage County, Oklahoma,

The Senate's Change of Front.
ist. Louis post-Disnatch.l

(St. Louis t-Dispatch)
The Senate's reversal Of its position
on the armament question, in Sc
cret session, almost on the eve of Mr..
Hardingis inauguration, is an astound-
ing revelation OF that body's be-
fuddlement and incapacity, but it is
at least an indication that the public's
demand for retrenchment has finally
been heard in that chamber.
The amendment attached to the
naval appropriations bill instructs the
President to call conference of the
United States, Japan and Great
Britain to consider naval disarma-
ment. Had such action been taken
at the beginning of the session, when
Senator Borah offered his resolution,
for reduction of naval construction
plans by the three Powers mentioned
in the amendment, something of real
substance and value might by now
have been accomplished and the in
coming administration have been saw
ed from the embarrassment of recon
sidering its ad interim declarations.
That opportunity was willfully
ignored. The President elect has, in
meantime, expressed himself force
fully in favor of the present con-
struction program and, in Edwin.
DENLY of Michigan, has chosen for
Secretary of the Navy an enthusiastic
big-navy man. In way, those are
minor complications but they could
and should have been avoided.
The circumstances that brought
about the Senate's eleventh hour
change of front are not known. The
debate was behind closed doors. 1t
seems unlikely, however, that any
new developments have occurred.
The most logical conclusion is that
the Senate has at last realized that
this murderous and suicidal expendi-
ture of money for purposes of de-
struction must cease; that halt must
be called; that the limit of the peoples
capacity to pay taxes has been reach
ed; that relief from such outrageous
burdens must be had; that, finally,
the United States must give some
earnest of it's honorable intention to
join with other nations In creating
conditions for peace.
The world must have peace. From
the madness of militarism which has
become epidemic the nations must be
delivered. The United States cannot
continue on its present course and ex-
pect the other nations to adopt dis
armament. We have got to join in
the movement, and, if need be, as
sumo its leadership.
The Senate, seemingly, has at last
awakened.
