Owing to the fact that people of the country have been flockin g insuch
great numbers to the cities during
the past decade the time has co me when our urban and rural populationis
nearly equal. Political economists , sociologists, politicians, and
others are becoming alarmed at this, contend ing, among other things,that
there are too many people to eat and too few pr oducing things to be
eaten. They warn us that our rich, virgin soils are fas t becomingthings
of the past and we cannot abandon the depleted farms as we cast off a
worn-out garment and seek a new one. We have to stay in the occu pied
territory. Our grazing lands and timbered lands have been subdivided;w e
no more have the free fields; our great West is occupied by settlers.
Bui ld up the neglected soil, they urge us, so that it will produceenough
food f or all the people. One of the citizens of Boone County, who has
been wise en ough to remain on the farm and to so scientifically tillhis
soil, that it ha s been strengthened rather than depletted, is WilliamU.
Lane, of Jackson Tow nship.
Mr. Lane, was born in Center Township, Boone County, December 9, 1864,
He is a son of Emsley J. and Isabell M. (McConaughy) Lane, the formera

Indiana from Kno xville, Tennessee, about 1830, marrying in PutnamCounty
and settling on a fa rm three and one-half miles southwest of Lebanon,

grandparents, Harvey, and Polly (J amison) McConaughy, were among the
first white settlers in Boone County, clea ring and developing a farm
here. In this locality, the paents of our subjec t grew up and were
educated in the early-day schools, and after their marriag e theysettled
on a farm in Center Township, Mr. Lane owning a farm here, but later,
after the death of his father, the family removed to Jackson Township.
