In the address of the president of
the Texas Industrial Congress at Its
late meeting, Col. Henry Exall spoke,
In part, as follows:
"The population of Europe and
America at the beginning of the nine
teenth century was about 180 million;
It Is now over 410 million. The pop
ulation of the United States in 1800
was seven million; It Is now almost
100 million. The opening up of this
new country, with Its rich soil, so
cheapened food production that the
population Increased by leaps and
bounds, and despite the Civil war,
with Its Incalculable destruction of
life and property, and its paralyzing
effect upon progress, our population
has grown from thirty million In 1860
to nlnety-^wo million In 1910—300 per
cent in fifty years. At the same rate
of increase we will have 28G million
people to feed In 1960. In this con
nection It Is well to remember that
despite the fact that within the past
forty years we have put.Into cultiva
tion the major part of the great
prairie plains, the richest body of
land of like fertility on the face of
the earth, comprising what Is known
as the Mississippi valley, and includ
ing the black belt In Illinois, and
west through Iowa and the Dakotas,
and southwest through Kansas, Ne
braska, Oklahoma, and Texas, and
notwithstanding the fact that great
Improvements have been made for cul
tivating and harvesting crops, and
great advance Jias been made In seed
selection, and some Improvement in
cultural methods, so little has been
done to conserve the fertility of the
earth; so constantly have we mined
rather than farmed it; subtracting
f; om It without adding to it, that the'
average crop of corn and wheat com
bined per acre in the United States
Is less than it was forty yedrs ago.
The population is Increasing at a
terrible rate,, and production Is con
stantly decreasing, fhe grain acreage
Increase for the past ten years has
been about twenty-three per cent;
the production has Increased about
thirty-five per cent, but the consump
tion has increased sixty per cent
“Ten years ago we produced about
500 million bushels of wheat and ex
ported thirty-seven and a half per cent
of it; n u w we produce 700 million
bushels Of wheat, and export seventeen
pef cent In the. same time our corn
crop has grown from two and halt
billion bushels to two and three-qtfar-
ter billion bushels, but the home de
mand has BO infifeased that, our ex
ports have fallen from nine to three
per cent. For ail these years we have
been in. the proud position of having
corn and wheat for sale, anti cheap
tbod fbr all our people, but lihless we
immediately and radically change our
agricultural methods wte Will, within
the next few years, be buyers of food.
The pertinent question is: ‘Who will
have it for sale at anything like rea
sonable prices 7’
It behooves Us„ therefore,, to save
and to use every particle of fertiliz
ing matter that is within our reach.
Tile nitrogen, phosphorus and potash
in the.atklks from 100 bushels of corn
arfe worth, In carload lots .oday, if
We. ‘hiid to buy it, $10.55. The same
mlifcral elements In the stalks from
s, *bale of cotton are worth $9.69. As
g. -mi., we burn both, and temporarily
destroy the usefulness of the land
ur-on which the fires are lighted. . We
are not only clipping the coupons, but
wo are cutting into the bo^y of the
bonds.
"The people must be taught the ab
solute necessity of returning every
thing possible In the line of fertilizers
to the soil; protecting it from wash
ing by terracing, and plowing around
Instead of up and down the slopes.
They must be taught to thoroughly
prepare the lands before planting the
carefully selected seed, and by con-
jtant shallow mulch cultivation to keep
down the weeds. They must not lay
by and leave their crops, hut must he
taught to know that as the Btalk
grows larger It has more live weigh
to sustain, and :lt needs more nourish
ment Cultivation should continue un
til the crop is positively made. The
rule has been to lay by the crop and
leave It to fight the suokers, weeds,
dry, parched earth and hot w ln .
alone, when Its Ufa work is yet to he
accomplished. , ,
"If this one last Item mentioned,
namely, not to lay by and leave the
crop, but to keep a soft mulch on top
of the ground, and the crop entirely
free from weeds and suckers until the
grains are hard upon the stalk, were
literally put into effect, It would add
millions of dollars to the value of the
crop In the state this year.’’

Charcoal to Preserve Health.
Charcoal Is a great absorbent and
should be used freely In the drinking
water. A little pulverized charcoal
fed occasionally will greatly assist in
maintaining the health of the fowls.
The best plan is to have it handy and
when feed Is being mixed, put a
spoonful In the mash. This should be
done once or- twice a week.
(By a M. TRACT.)
A certain amount of grain feed is
needed to grow hogs with the greatest
profit, and still more is needed to fat
ten and fit them for market, but it
should be used only to supplement the
feeds which the hogs harvest for
themselves in the field. Pork can
not be made economically when all,
or even a larger proportion, of the
feed oomeB from the crib or the mill.
The hog is an omnivorous animal and
needs "roughage” and fresh green
feed tor his best health and growth
and to produce meat of the best qual
ity When young his grain feed
should be such as will furnish mater
ial f or bone and muscle, and not such
as will produce an excess of fat; while
as the animal ‘ approaches maturity,
fat-producing foods should be given
more liberally. No one kind of grain
feed can he used economically from
weaning until the full-grown animal
Is slaughtered, and there should be a
gradual change from the nitrogenous,
muscle-making food given to the pig
to the carbonaceous, fat-making food,
which is more profitable for the last
few weeks before klllfng. The young
animal must have good bone and mus
cle before it can carry the heavy load
•of fat desirable for the butcher or de
velop the strength, vigor, and health
necessary In a good breeding animal.
Growing Clover. 1
In order to keep land in proper
condition a certain .amount of clover
should be grown, No crop lends Itself
to rotation more readily than clover.
