LAND APLENTY ASSURES US AGAINST COLLAPSE

Drouth and dust storm and erosion may continue to smite western farm lands but the American has unbeatable in the hole that will keep the game from licking him. No matter what is happening to his land he has such tremendous lot of that he can stand the gaf.
 is this fact that keeps the recent report of the National Resources Committee from being thing of unmitigated gloom.
 The National Resources Committee which has just completed for President Roosevelt extensive survey of soil and it's ills begins it's report by calmly pre- dieting that American civilization will collapse pletey unless men come to the of the soil they have mSused.
 "The fact s', says the report "most of the Terri tory occupied by the United States is not naturally suited for permanent civilization It is like the land of the Mayas of Yukatan the land of Babyon-a rich country where civilization dash into blaze of glory and then collapse in a few generations into ruin.
 Our sol,' the report continues, lis not enriched by the usual methods of cultivation but impoverished By the normal processes of our farming our mining, and our numbering, We create deseret. Any nation whose land naturally tends to into desert eth CT take measures to preserve the land or it will surely die"
 That sounds very bad but there is worse to come The report points that other nations with farming land which had that desert-creating tendency have been able to stay in business only by regmenng their people and undertaking colossally expensive public works programs The empires of ancient Peru and Egy pt, which imposed ant-lke discipline the masses the price of survival, in point.
 By this time who takes government reports seriously might well be ready to sell out and to Zamboanga equally remote spot But it is just here with the sky darkened all sides that the Re- sources Committee lets in strong geam of sunlight
 After all it points out, the United States is big counry-unbelevably big. it has millions of acres of soil that should not be farmed farm it, it has other millions of which, with little be farmed until doomsday.
 It can afford to restore whole sections to grass land for insance to avoid overgrazingto put forests back mountain slopes too steep for permanent civ lization-to farm only that land which be farmed without risk-for it has land, land, and to spare
 In other Words-We face serious emergency, and have got to map out long-range program for pro- per land But do it without breaking selves This will continue to be land of plenty even after have plugged the leaks.

NEW YORK, April 25-The recov-
cry in the bond market which started

COTTON IRREGULAR
BUT ABOUT STEADY.
Prices in New High Ground
on Continued Tight Spot
Situation.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April 25.-While
somewhat irregular, cotton showed a
generally steady undertone during the
week.
Prices made new high ground for
the movement on continued tight
spot situation and more or less
nervousness over the drought situa-
tion in the Southwest.
May sold up to 1l60 yesterday and
closed at 11.55, compared with 11.39
at the close of the previous week,
while December contracts closed at
l0.4O, compared with 1914 the previ-
GUS Friday
There was scattered hedging, pre-
sumably against operations in either
pool or loan cotton. No official state
ment has made its appearance as to
the amount Of loan cotton sold so far,
but it was understood that there has
been a considerable business.
Meanwhile, some easing of the basis
has been reported, but this was be-
lieved to have referred chiefly to
NOINOA4 Va l44C UclUSI BIdQeS UT Staples.
while very little middling seven
elghths-inch cotton is reported Of
fering, with cotton of this character
difficult to buy.
Further showers were reported in
Texas, but more general rains were
supposed to be needed over the West
ern belt.
With Tuesday the first notice day
for May here, evening-up was more
active and May worked up nearer a
parity with the average quotations
for middling at the eight delivery
points.
AT 1l.60 May yesterday was selling
within l8 points of Thursdays av-
erage spot quotation. compared with
a difference of 80 points at the close
of the previous Friday.
Reports of an increased demand
for cotton cloths attracted attention
toward the end Of the week, but it
was said that tax uncertainties were
still having a somewhat restrictive
effect on business for forward de-
liverieS.
