The great difficulty with heavy

the rolling nature of the land. Wheat

The heavy machinery slides and tips.

is another of 1000 acres near I"led".
In what Is known as the Big R"nl
country there are numerous wheat
farmers who plant from 300 To 5000
acres each year 70 grain
An unfortunate feature of the
growing of wheat in this way Is that
the land is being rapidly depleted oi
it's fertility. There is need Of a SyS-
TEN of diversified planting To save the
land from utter harrrnncSS. For
nearly fifteen years many of these biz
farms have been growing wheat every
wear. Some wise farmers let their
farms lie fallow every other year
thinking they get an increased crop
enough to pay for the idle season.

LONGEVITY ON THE DECREASE.
Univer sity Professor Thinks It 10, and
Gives Some cooent Reasons Why 4
*" t%S.F It Should BE. II ?

Prof Raymond Pearl Of Johns Hop
kins, after an exhaustive study of life
probability extending through a histor-
ic period of two thousand years, ar
rives at the conclusion that while
mans possibilities of life at birth and
in earlier stages has been steadily i'm
proving, his expectation Of life at adj
vanced age has been steadily decreas-
ing. Comparisons ranging from the
Romano-Egyptian to the present day
offer statistical proof. The theoretical
explanation is that in early times, with
less provision for the protection of
babies and infants, only the more rug
ged pulled through. Nowadays with
increasing care for childhood, the weak
are carried into adolescence and adult
hood. Where formerly only the fittest
or toughest managed to reach the
shady slope Of life, and were conse-
quently more likely to hang on to ripe
old ages, the salyaging Of the weaker
brings them Into the fifties and sixties
with less hope Of prolonged life. 1t
sounds plausible and may explain the
apparent decrease of longevity. Incl
dentally, his statistics brought out the
fact chat while women formerly had
less expectation Of life at all ages,
this has been reversed-another blow
to the tradition of "the weaker SEX"
Women now appear to have the great
'er probability Of prolonged life.
