Major P. Q. Cralgle presided over the
subsection. He waa a member for many
years of the Board of Agriculture of Oreat
Britain and a man who has given much
attention to the problem of the food sup
ply of the world and the ability of the land
to feed the mouths of the rapidly Inrreas
lug population of the globe. His address
w as a very masterly review of the food
problem. lurlng the days that followed
this addrena and until the close of the
meetings, the question of how to meet the
physical needs of the world and keep Intact
the earth's productive ability was the
residuum of all the addresses and discus
sions. Dr. Somervllie or uxiora university.
Prof. Wllaon of Dublin, Dr. Hall and Rus
aell of the Gilbert Uwt trust at
Rothampatead. Dr. Zavits of Ouelpb uni
versity. Dr. Shula of Toronto, Prof. King
of Wisconsin and Dr. A. J. Alweln of Ne
braska made moat valuable contributions
to agricultural science and auggeated meth
ods which were the result of close Investi
gation whereby better crops and Increased
fertility would reault .
The problem of wheat production was
given large prominence and from statistics
presented European Russia, Siberia and
western Canada have millions upon millions
of acres which can be utilized for the rais
ing of export wheat, but the United States,
with Its rapidly increasing population has
pretty well reached the limit of its wheat
area, and now we must attack the prob
lem differently and raise more wheat per
acre planted. The average of Germany and
England Is over thirty bushels of wheat
per acre, while our la about thirteen, and
In Nebraska, with soli that cannot be beaten
fo, potential fertility, the yield Is about
eighteen bushels.
During all these dlscussiona, Involun
tarily the question came to my rrtlnd.
"What of Nebraska and Its future?"
Knowing as I do the qualities which are
stored up In the bosom of our undulating
valleys and splendid prairie lands, coupled
with physicaj and climatic conditions where
wheat, corn, alfalfa, clover and other crops
are aucceissf ully grown, these allied wiih
the potential fertility our lands possess,
afford the machinery whereby the stll will
give more generous response and yet keep
Us capital stock Intact.
The thinking men of Nebraska have and
are emphasising the Importance of an In
telligent agriculture, but I am aorry to
say we are aadly behind In the procession
of our slater states and the provinces across
our northern border In the matter of pro
viding the means whereby the result of
the best scientific Investigation and train
ing can be given to our people. It la the
making known ai the discovery of valuable
information and putting it to practical use
that becomes an effective asset for the
public good. And on the last day of the
meetings I have been speaking of the sec
tions of chemistry, botany and economic
science met with that of agriculture, and
the president of the meeting, Dr. Arm
strong of London university, In summing
up tho result of the discussion, said: "The
best policy of insurance a nation can In
vest In Is the Intelligent use and care of
lln landed possessions."
Yt Nebraska, with Its rich Inheritance
of soil conditions, which are unique, whose
possibilities of production one can scarcely
compute, with a population considerably
over double that of the province of Man
itoba, has less than one-third aa much
Invested in its agricultural college" than
that province has. they having spent dur
ing the last four years over fl.250,000 In
buildings and equipment, and the same
comparison is true of other provinces and
our own states. I believe that the most
Important business the people of Ne
braska have on hand today la the elabora
j tlon of a system whereby definite lnforma-
tlon as regards the best methods for the
securing of maximum crops and keeping
( Intact the fertility of the soil shall be car
ried to the homes of our people. Also the
preparation of Its young folk, whose lives
will be spent upon the farms of our
state, so that they shall be able to Intelli
gently co-operate with the natural forces
at their command. It la the consensus of
the world's best scientific thought that
soil and plant problems are most Import
ant. That to feed and olothe the world'a
millions without Impairing our Interna
tional bank acocunt, demands the highest
type of Intelligence. Here In Nebraska is
a wonderful field for such kind of ma.
chlnary to operate in. Let ua try and pro
vide it.
Thla year our agricultural college can
not possibly take proper care of Its stu
dent body. Curtailment rather than ex
tension must take place. Surely this Is a
sad condition of affairs. Will the think
ing people of Nebraska allow thla sort of
thing to continue? I think not.

FISH TO FIGHJ MOSQUITOES
Minnows from Barbados to Be
Planted In Canal Zone
Waters.
PANAMA, Sept. 11. They are going to
make fish do a large part of the moaqulto
fighting on the Isthmus In the future. The
Canal commission has received a lot of
mosqulto-kllling fish from the Island of
Barbados In the West Indies and la going
to begin a systematic planting of the
species in waters within the Canal Zone.
The fish have been placed temporarily in
the tank in the court of the Administration
building at Ancon.
The freedom of Barbados from malaria
has been attributed to the presence of
these fish in laige numbers in the streams
and lakes of the Island. The fish are
known commonly as millions and their
scientific name la Girardinus poeclloldea.
They belong to a group known as top min
nows, so-called because they always feed
near the surface of the water.
They are never more than an Inch and
a half long and they go scooting through
the water with moat of their backs ex
posed. Thla enablea them to pursue bugs
over LUy pada and other vegetation cov
ered only by avthln film of water. They
aren't at all fastidious about their home.
They will live in stagnant, sluggish or run
ning water, and they aren't particular
whether It is fresh or brackish.
Mosquito larvae are the food these mil
lions hanker for, and when they can't get
a nice little broiler mosquito they will
fasten on an old tough one in preference
to common food like water bugs. They
have to catch the old mosquitoes on the
fly, though, and their Teal usefulness is
based chiefly on their destruction of the
larvae. ' '
Once planted in a atream they multiply
with great rapidity. The young are born
alive, not hatched from an egg. The min
nows ascend streams against a swift cur
rent and spread Into the smallest rivulets
from the big stream.
There are already some roosqulto-eatlng
fish In Panama waters, but the Introduc
tion of the millions Is going to be a great
re-enforcement to the schools of destroy
ers. Of course while the millions surely
will be bad medicine for the anophelos
mosquitoes, they won't be able to touch
the stegomyla, the really select mosqui
toes that breed In exclusive places like
cisterns, rain barrels and old tomato cans.

M'CREARY HOWE iS BURNED
Dvrelllnar at Benson PtorttsJly De
stroyed by Kir Earlf In
th Morning.
PI re, caused, supposedly, by electrlo wir
ing, partially destroyed tha handsome home
of W. W. McCreary on South Lynn avenue
Ui Benson between I and 4 o'clock Saturday
morning. The volunteer fire department
of Benson turned out and fought the bias
without help from the Omaha firs depart
ment. Although badly damaged and wholly
burned in part tha house was saved from
total deatruotion. It 14 understood the
Iohs, amounting to $5,000 or 16,000, is fully
covered by insurance.
Neighbors first saw the flames after the
latter had gained a good start The front
ol the house waa burned tha worst, the
northeast corner being the seat of the fire's
origin.
Ail the furniture was saved. Considerable
damage to the unburned portion of the
house was dona by water. The home of
Dr. H. W. Loechner, within twenty-five
feet of the McCreary residence, narrowly
escaped catcnlng fire. The work of the
volunteer firemen proved decidedly efficient
considering the circumstances and tho
equipment they had.
