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 Constitution. MilliiKTy Opening.

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. Bad Roads Did It. A farmer ohl, o we’ve b> *-ri told.
