HIGH FINANCIERS TALK REAL OPTIMISM From the Wall Street Journal: Judge E. H. Gary, chairman of of the Board of the United States Steel Corporation in the latest of his public communications roaffirms the positon he took shortly after bis return from Europe last summer. He does not look with downcast eyes upon present day conditions. His words as always are full of encour agement, and he is so situated that he ought to know what condiions are and base his opinions upon facts and not theories. There was one brief comment in his latest communication to which Derhans not so much attention has been paid as other portions of his review. He spoke of the almost in conceivably grand opportunities for so utilizing American soil as to se cure harvests in comparison witfi which even the latest record-making harvest is trivial. He referred to the cultivation of all that remains many million acres to be opened to culti vation, as containing opportunities for creating vast new weaitn eacn year. Judge Gary evidently had in mind the utilization by American agricul ture of modern methods , modern You May Joi Fol CLASS 2?First week week 4 cents.

In fact, he refrred to the adoption ] by American farmers of the inten sive processes of soil cultivations of which France, Belgium and Holland and to some extent, Great Britain are already furnishing us valuable lessons. He might also have spoken of the highly developed intensive agriculture which is characterise of Japan and enables that compara tively small archipelago to feed for the most part her own millions. Judge Gary and James J. Hill Judge Gary merely echoes state ments made some years ago by James J. Hill, President Clark of I I the New York Central Railroad sys-{ farn on/t nfham: Tf mucf. Tin VP VlPPTl | V^JII Uiiu VVUV4WI AW MCMMV Mw. V as long ago as 1906 that Mr. Hill urged the immediate adoption by farmers of intensive cultivation of the soil. He did ot confine himself to generalizations. He referred ! many times to the triumphs of Hoi- i land and Belgium, and by intensive ; cultivation compelled the soil to : yield every ounce of the wealth that 5 was in it. 1 When Mr. Clark was president of ) the New York Central, he also tin- ] dertook a campaign of intensive i education.

The Intensive Method Judge Gary says that already many of our farmers, especially those who cultivate thousands of acres are learning the intensive methods of cultivation. Our soil has been so abundant and far-reaching the original cost of it so slight, some of it practically free to settlers, that American agriculture had been .Characterized by some e^jtrava-^ gance. Now these harmful influen ces are passing away. Judge Gary says that with intensive cultivation of American soil there should be an increase in the production of wheat alone of more than 100 per cent. It is the hope that in the new ad ministration which begins next March, Congress will act not in a partisan way, but in the spirit of modern Americanism, so that far mers may be encouraged to increase their production and furthermore so that the many million of acres of land which now await cultivation! nay be peopled by farmers who, having learned that the farms offer fully as grreat as inducement as do m 19211 MAKE 1 Sow the seed ol count for Christ large as you wa as you go.

Therefore, his latest statement which refers to present conditions and the future, has been a gratifying topic in finan cial and business circles. When Mr. Hepburn says that the Federal Re serve system and the banks have : been able to cope with difficult situ- , ation and continue successfully to do it, he speaks as one having know- 1 ledge. He does not fix a time when , recovery from prevailing depression will begin, intimating that no man con do that just now, hut he is con- ^ fident that there will be a recovery which will be followed by unex ampled prosperity as he is that the sun will rise.
