ATLANTA CONSERVATION
ICONQRESS.
Representatives from every
state in the south gather *in At
lanta this week to take stock ot
their natural resources.
Former Presidnet Roosevelt,
under whose administration con
servation first assumed the im
portance of a national issue, is
to grace the congress with a
brief address. Gifford Pmchot,
properly called “father of con
servation,” will be the chiel
speaker. Other Americans of
national and sectional note will
participate in deliberations
which should be fraught with
far reaching importance to the
soutnern states.
More than any other portion
of America, the south is vitally
interested in effectual measure's
of conservation. Admittedly,
the territory south of the Po
tomac and Ohio,'and west of the
Mississippi rivers, is to furnish
the next great empire for Amer
ican development.
Rich in fertility of the soil, in
abundance of timber lands, in
mineral wealth and in water
power yet unchartered, it is dou
bly incumbent upon us to proceed
scientifically in the expenditure
and husbanding of the solid as
sets upon which our destiny is
to be builded.
The events that operated to
retard development in the south
ern states have not been without
their blessing. For here today
are the armies of development
knocking at our door at the same
moment that the voice of conser
vation is calling to apply sense
and repression in the speeding
of those riches upon which de
velopment depends.
And it should be said that con
servation does not, as many
hasty thinkers seem to believe,
mean locking up putting in “cold
storage” the elemental wealth of
a people for future generations.
It means only such methodical
and wise administrations of the
patrimony given into our keep
ing by the Almighty, that we
shall have enough for ourselves
without wasting the substance
of those that come after.
For. after all, we are like those
who merely rent the land we
are custodians, authorized to
reap harvests as we go, but en
joined to be scrupulous in not de
stroying that native fertility
which is to furnish the chief
source of wealth for our children.
It would, indeed, be impossible
to find a more accurate estimate
of conservation, as its true ad
vocates consider it, than that it
means spending the interest and.
not the principal, treating the
principal so that it will return a
maximum of interest, and en
larging its dimensions for the
benefit of those into whose hands
we are to deliver it.
Providence has given us the
untold riches of the south, and
the south's destiny in entail.
Conservation means preserving
the entail unbroken. Atlanta

Money Value of a Hard Wayon Road
to the Farmer.
Tlie reduction of a cent or txvo in
railroad rates or a similar increase is of
far less importafiee to the farmer than
the condition of the wagon road on
which la- hauls Ids produce in tln> mil
road. If lie must waste a day going and
coming, if he must haul a small load
for feai of getting stuck en route, if
sometimes he cannot get through the
road at all, even though the market
price of liis product he at that time
unusually high, xvliat does a slightly
loxver or higher rate on the railroad
profit or harm him?
On the other hand, a hard, level road
is ids good servant. He can make the
trip thereon quickly at almost any sea
son of till' year, lie can haul a large
load and so have to make the trip less
frequently. A good road means, there
fore, a practical redltciion in the cost
of getting Ids products to market. It
means more money for every bushel of
wheat or potatoes or of her crop. It
means a lower cost f< r all the supplies
he buys in town. Minneapolis Journal.
