Tire widespread Impression that the soils of the United States are wearing ' out and that the crop yields are on the decrease. are. wholly unwarranted in the light of statistics, declares l’rof. Milton Whitney. chief of the United States iiureau of Soils. The statement carries authority, as it is contained in an official publica- tion of the Bureau of Soils, now being issued. This bulletin is entitled "A study of crop yields and soil composi- tion in relation to soil productivity." It deals exhaustively with the yields of crops from ltlti? to iiitiri. The but» IetIn sets forth: “A careful study of the data which has been presented appears to justify two conclusions-dim. that the pro. ductivity of the newer agricultural soils of the inited States and of the older agricultural soils of Europe, ink en as a whole and for the nation, are not declining, as is popularly sup- posed. ‘ "Individual farming deteriorates and soils wear out. as they have at ways done. but as a whole it seems probable that We are producing more crops per acre than formerly. This Is undoubtedly due to many factors; to better and more intelligent cultiva- tio . more and better systems of rot tions of crops, and in later years to the intelligent use of iertilisers through measures of control in the hands of every individual farmer. In addition. we. must recognize the in- crease in farm animals and stock. the inrpruvr-rnr-ni «in seed by selection and breeding. and increased intensity in population. which is forcing attention lit rirnr r‘ extensive methods."
