James J Hill Discusses the Fu

LESS WARSHIPS MORE FARMS
The Distinguished Railway President
and Foremost Developer of Our
Great Northwest Vrites in the
Worlds Work of the Need for Pros
perous and Scientific Agriculture
Land without population is a wilder
ness and population without land is
a mob The United States has many
social political and economic
to settle
facure or its relative value in general
growth But for many years this
1 J1 41n tnintnlrn rQ tlTlllllv
fPVJ Ly JlUa IllilUt L11C lUiDlttlve vim xammvmkmmj
s3nKt Vfffl nnaictinfr mnniifnotiire commerce and
iffSffvraS Jiu nfiior nntivUioc Hint nontflr in cities at
the expense of the farm The result
is a neglected system of agriculture
and the decline of the farming inter
est But all these other activities are
founded upon the agricultural growth
of the nation and must continue to
depend upon it Every manufacturer
every merchant every business man
and every good citizen is deeply in
terested in maintaining the growth and
development of our agricultural re
sources
Preserve Jealously the Soil
It is most important that our own
country should realize the situation
and take thought for its own future
With our magnificent areas
and the relative sparseness of our
population as compared with the more
densely peopled countries of the old
world the time of economic trial
should be a long way off for us With
greater wisdom than we have exer
cised in the past it may never come
But we must preserve jealously the
right and the possibility of free access
to the soil out of which grow not only
all those things that make happy the
heart of man and comfort his body
but those virtues by which only a
nation can endure and those influences
that strengthen the soul This is the
safeguard not only of national wealth
but of national character The fertile
fields of this country are its real gold
mines from which it will gather a
richer yield than the deposits of
Alaska or South Africa or any other
land can furnish These are the true
national inheritance
For the first time in the history of
this country thousands of farmers
from states like Iowa Kansas Mis
souri Michigan Wisconsin and Min
nesota are seeking homes in the Can
adian northwest owing to the cheap
lands offered tlere and the difficulty
of securing such lands in the United
States Toward saving a supply for
the future something is now being
done We are at least saving at the
spigot though we have not quit wast
ing at the bung While we are spend
ing great sums to transform worthless
lands into orchards and gardens by
the work of the reclamation service
we still retain as to other areas the
land laws under which for so many
years the great heritage of the people
has been passing so largely into un
worthy hands
The Greatest Lesson of History
For the sake of our national future
for the sake of the coming millions
who will be helpless unless each can
be furnished with a piece of tillable
land as a defense against misfortune
we should see that the speculative
abuses which these laws have fostered
are brought to an end It should not
be possible to obti in public land of
any kind anywhere in the United
States henceforth except after com
plying with all the terms of the home
stead law I cannot urge too strongly
upon every man who wishes his coun
try well and who desires all to be
prosperous in order that he may pros
per with them the importance and
growing necessity of taking such care
of our public domain as shall preserve
the remnant of it for the use of gen
erations yet unborn
Such close and careful cultivation as
will yield the highest profit per acre
is cultivated in comparatively small
can best be given to and when it
farms The greater the number of
prosperous farmers the greater will be
the prosperity of every businessman
It takes more labor to earn the same
profit from a tract too large to be
tiled thoroughly Ten farmers each
cultivating from 40 to 160 acres at the
outside with the most approved meth
ods supplemented where necessary
by irrigation can each earn a profit
equal to that taken from two or three
times the same area by slovenly till
age Ten farmers instead of one in
crease the aggregate volume of trade
with the merchants of the community
and add in the same ratio to the gen
eral prosperity
The Long Neglected Farmer
Including Alaska this country has
about the same area as Europe It
has a little more than one fifth as
much population With a trifle more
than five per cent of the population of
the world we are producing 13 per
cent of the worlds supply of wheat
corn and oats We raise more than
70 per cent of the worlds cotton All
political economy that is not mere
empty theory rests upon the ratio of
population to land area the abund
ance and value of the products of the
soil and the proper balance and inter
relation of different industries We
have been busy as a nation helping
the so called industrial interests of the
country in fact everybody except the
man on the farm
But when we have as many people
to the square mile as Europe has now
we will know the economic troubles
of Europe Our task will be to in
crease correspondingly the volume of
the earths product When we get
down to business and take stock of
those national affairs in which we are
vitally concerned as workers and
home builders as citizens and as
fathers of the children who are to
make our future we find that the main
thing is the utilization and con
servation of the soil and the resources
imwn from it This interest must

and more take precedence
in the near future but none so more
others The man must be encourageu
mental as the true relation ot uw muu
to the national life The first act in
the progress of any civilization is to
provide homes for those who desire to
sit under their own vine and tig tree
A prosperous agricultural interest is
to a nation what good digestion is to
a man The farm is the basis of all
Industry The soil is the only resource
that renews itself continually after
having nroduced value I do not wish
Tirlion
to go to the farm The man on the
farm must be considered first in all
our policies because he is the key
stone of the national arch When he
has produced the share of natural
wealth that corresponds to his best
effort he must be able to find a pur
chaser at prices that will enable him
to live in comfort and enjoy at least
a moderate degree of prosperity This

SAFER RAILROAD TRAVEL
All American Railroads Report Notable
Advances in the Protection
of Life
The best safety records made public
hy the big American railroads are
now coming to light month by month
The Pennsylvania railroad set the
example by announcing that not a
single passenger had been killed on its
rails in the 12 months that ended last
December Now follow others says
the Worlds Work
The Erie railroad probably the most
decried of all the big trunk lines
claims the unique record of having
carried more than 125000000 passen
gers in the last five years without
killing a single person in a prevent
able accident The Lehigh Valley
makes a similar report
Four western railroads the Bur
lington the Rock Island the Atchison
and the Northwestern claim that in
the past year they killed not a pas
senger in any accident chargeble to
the railroad This is a matter of the
greatest importance
And there is a new spirit in the rail
road world In the passenger depart
ments of our railroads a deep im
pression was made a year or so ago
by the announcement from England
that all the railroads of that island
had been operated for 12 months with
out killing a single passenger The
Pennsylvania took pride in its record
of last year in equaling the English
record and there is no doubt that the
other railroads are engaged in a con j
test of this excellent sort
