Should Be Partnership Between Industries to Help Farmer

By PETER RADFORD.

turcr of Farmers' Union of America

Farming is the biggest BUSINESS IN TH E WORLD, and constructive work that will permanently benefit agriculture must be arranged on a BIG, BROAD, COMPREHENSIVE BASIS. Co-operating with the farmer as an individual is not sufficient and will not reach the heart of the problem. The heavy and more important work can only be done through organization. THERE MUST BE A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN INDUSTRIES AND EACH LINE OF ORGANIZED INDUSTRY WORK WITHIN ITS OWN ORBIT. THE BANKERS CAN RENDER A SERVICE IN WORKING OUT A SYSTEM OF CREDITS BETTER ADAPTED TO THE BUSINESS OF FARMING. THE TRANSPORTATION LINES CAN HELP US BY LOCATING MARKETS AND REACHING THEM IN BEST CONDITION AT THE LOWEST EXPENSE.

State Geologist Edward Barrett Will Begin Soil Survey of Northern Three Tiers of Counties. The Indiana Department of Geology will conduct a soil survey of the northern three tiers of counties during the coming season under the personal direction of Edward Barrett, the state geologist, lie and his assistants will establish themselves in some central location and work out each day to every locality in the counties until the soils are thoroughly gone over. In this survey they take up several important questions as follows: 1. The topography or surface of the land. 2. The drainage, both natural and artificial. 3. The origin or derivation of the soils, whether they are of drift origin or whether they have been derived from the disintegration of the underlying rocks of the locality. 4. The climatic conditions, such as rainfall, frost„ and the number of growing days in a season 5. Cultural methods among the farmers. Locating and mapping the areas of acid and sour soils; also marsh, muck and peat soils. T. Geological formation of the country and the uses to which raw materials may be put. 8. Classification of soils into types according to the United States classification; making soil maps of the areas examined, with mechanical and chemical analysis of the different types of soils. All these things will be written up and published in the next report of the department. Wihen published in the annual report of the department it will be sent out over the entire United States and will draw the attention of the public to Indiana soils. It will be the first extensive work of this kind done in these counties and under the efficient management of Mr. Barrett we can rest assured it will be thoroughly done.

Atlanta Constitution:—Bill Arp, the “Southern Philosopher,” wrote the following review of “The Divine Plan of the Ages” some time before he died: “It is Impossible to read this book without loving the writer and pondeilng bis wonderful solution of the great mysteries that have troubled us all our lives. There Is hardly a family to be found that has not lost some loved one who died outside the church—outside the plan of salvation, and, If Calvinism be true, outside of all hope and Inside of eternal torment and despair. We smother our feelings and turd away from the horrible picture. We dare not deny the faith of our fathers, and yet can It be possible that the good mother and the wandering child are forever separated?—forever and forever?

“I believe It Is the rigidity of these teachings that makes atheists and infidels and skeptics—makes Christians unhappy and brings their gray hairs down in sorrow to the grave—a lost child, a lost soul! • • • “This wonderful book makes no assertions that are not well sustained by the Scriptures. It is built up stone by atone, and upon every stone is the text, and it becomes a pyramid df God’s love, and mercy, and wisdom. “There Is nothing In the Bible that the author denies or doubts, but there are many texts that he throws a flood of light upon that seems to remove from them the dark and gloomy meaning. I see that editors of leading journals and many orthodox ministers of different denominations have endorsed It and have confessed to this new and comforting light that has dawned upon the Interpretation of God’s Book. Then let every man read and ponder and take comfort, for we are all prisoners of hope. This is an age of advanced thought, and more thinking la done than ever before—men dare to think now. Light—more light—ls the watchword.” 856 pages—cloth bound, 35 cents, postpaid. Bible and Tract Society, 17 Blcks Street, Brooklyn, N. Y.
