Professor Nathaniel Southgate Shaler astounded the

caused by the rain washing the fertile soil of the plowed

This waste is going on in the whole civilized world, and
especially in our country. Professor Shaler’s book, “Man
and the Earth, ” was the real prime cause of the congress

but sure national calamity, it is negligible compared with
the loss each year due to wasteful motions made by the
workers of our country. In fact, if the workers of this
