It is coming to us as radiant as Aurora in her chariot, beautiful as Ariadne rising up from the sea! Just sixty years ago a South Carolina professor named Justus Liebig ‘The “New Agriculture!” published s book which he called “Letters on dropped into the soil those Letters are now beginning to bear fruit. As a consequence of Liebig’s book, and have today the earth. With the birth of the twentieth century we began hearing of the great things that were being done by the “experimental stations” of the State and National Governments—how they were ti her laugh with the harvests that were almost miraculous. Spurred on by ‘these reports, individual farmers here and there about the country began to prick up their ears and look for better results from their labors. In- * quiries begun pouring into the stations, the agents of the Government went eut to meet the farmers, and the results were wonderful. Sixty years ago the chemistry of the soils was poorly understood; ecarcely any knew how plants were nourished or what the various plants needed in the shape of fertilizers, but the South Carolina professor threw daylight upon the matter and thus laid the foundation for what promises to be the mést important revolution in all hi Although just beginning, the achievement pass in wonderfulness the tales of the “Arabian Nights,” wonder grows.

The tarheel farmer showed them how the earth could be made to laugh with the right kind of tickling. In 1798 a man named Malthus wrote a nearly to death—population was pressing hard and fast upon the means of subsistence and fn a little while everybody would starve! In the light of this New Agriculture we see that Malthusianism was a cbaseless dream and that there is practically of the earth when aided by the new knowledge of chemistry. Everybody has read the “Arabian Nights,” but the “Arabian Nights” and its pipe-dreams are tame beside another book, “The New Barth.” tue latter book has no pipe-dreams in it either, but only solid facts.
