PLANS OF THE AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT Oinwlaa; and Plctoreaqao ProifffU rromlari by Official la Chars dreds of trees, furnishing wood pulp and speedy In growth, have been Imported from Oermany and thousand upon thou sands of acre denuded of their forests are to he replanted and care taken that th reforestation proceed rapidly and gen erally. Cleveland Leadr. f " th Work of plantation. Re. L. A great Inland conquest ) being waged by the Department of Agriculture which Is completely overturning the time-honored theory that the vast area In the west which cannot be Irrigated can never be made to produce anything but a acant natural growth of grain. The engineer and the ditch builder 4wlll bring under cultiva tion many million of highly productive acre, but the water supply of the west la limited, and there Will remain perhaps half a billion acre of the arid region for which there la no water. The aggressive work of Secretary Wilson' department, however, promise fair to make a'very large propor tion of this land, heretofore supposed to.be entirely unfit for agriculture. Into farma through wlenllflo methods .of soil culture and the Introduction of exceedingly drouth reslstlhg plants. "There am no bnd acres." said flecretary Wilson. "We ' have no useless American acre. We wlll.maVe them all productive. We have agricultural explorers In every fir corner of the world, and they are find ing crops which have become so acclimated to dry conditions similar 60 our own In the west, that we shall In time have plants thriving upon all our so-called desert lands. We will cover thl arid area with plants of various aorta which will yfe.ld hundreds of million of ton of . additional fornga and grain Tor western flocks and herds. Our farmer will grow thl upon land now con sidered practically worthless.'" , Th machinery of Mr. Wilson's depart ment I certainly far-reaching. It explor ers are traversing every distant land In the Interests of the American farmer, and es pecially from the vast high, dry lands of central Asia have come some of the most remarkable of desert plants, requiring but x minimum of moisture to produce luxu riant yield. A Case In Point. A student of desert reclamation through the agency of drouth plants is Frederick V. Covllle, the chief botanist of the depart ment, who' Is personally very familiar with :he west. "Ther are millions and millions nf acres," said Mr. Covllle, "In the strictly arid region, now considered worthless for agriculture, which ere certain to be settled In small farm as were the lands of Illi nois. Thl appllos particularly to the great plateus- In the northern Rocky mountain region. I do not hesitate to predict that the transformation of these barren-looking lands Into farms through the Introduction .tt desert plants will be as extensive a work 4s the enormous reclamation through Irri gation." -. A case In nolnt. as suggested by Mr. Co- U.'vllle, Is Indicated In a recent state report of Wyoming, which shows ns result of ex periments near Cheyenne on a vhsI plateau J.000 feet above the sea that profitable crops can be grown on lands which heretofore have been universally regarded as suitable for nothing but the sparse grazing of cattle and sheep. David O. Falichlld, an agricultural ex plorer, and In charge of the work of Intro duction of new seeds and plants, says that the greatest surprises will be In the utilisa tion of what are now considered desert lands, for the growing; of special arid land ' crops requiring but a fraction of the mois ture necessary for the growth of ordinary , plants such n corn and wheat. "We are rinding new plnnts," he said, "from th far table lands of Turkestan and the steppes of Russia and Siberia, which grow luxuriantly under such conditions of aridity that the crops of the Mississippi valley farms would wither and die as though scorched by a sirocco." Th Macaroni Wheat Helt. Macarcnl wheat affords n good instance of a crop which Is capable of revolutionis ing the values of tens of millions of ncres of arid land. "The macaroni wheat belt," said Mark A. Carletcn, cereal specialist of the Bu reau of Plant Industry, "extends, on an average, the width of th I nlted States and from the 9Sth to well beyond the 102d meridian, with a general yielding capnclty for half of this vast area of thirty bushels an aero, and of the other half of fifteen bushels. "Macaroni wheat will grow with ten Inches ot rainfall and yield fifteen bushels to the acre, where ordinary wheat Is an absolute failure. This la two bushels more than the average wheat yield . for the United State. There are many other crops with a great possibilities and which thrive on but slight moisture. Including splendid forage plants. I might mention knfflr corn, the sorghums, millet, brome grass, as well s new kinds of oats and barleys of won derful drouth-itslstlng powers, the emmer or spelts, and a long line of others. We re constantly finding new grain and for me plants in the Caucasus, In Algeria, Turkestan and other dry countrlea which V"' bring under cultivation amaslng areas Of tho grant American desert, now looked upon as absolutely unlit for agriculture. It Is a somewhat singular thing that no men are as skeptical of the reality of these facts as the residents of this region, but our experiments have already proved what I have said to be actual facts, not theo . rlea,". ... Whore Stock Food Grow. Dr. Harvey Wiley, the agricultural chief chemist, say that the sorghums form a very fine tock feed and that their cultiva tion, along with the millets and other ot the desert crops, -where corn I an entire failure. Insures a vast future development for that ;reat section. Improved methods of culture and tillage in connection with the planting of these hardy drouth crops will change the face of nature throughout entire states. By what is known as th Campbell system of soil culture, the lands ot western Kan sas, Nebraska, Colorado, and, in fact. wherever there Is a deep loam, but where th rainfall la only fourteen or fifteen Inches, can be made to produce heavy crop Of grain,' while forage plants and orchards and vegetables can be very suc cessfully grown. - By sub-surfaoe packing of the soli and continual surface cultiva tion all of th meager rainfall Is conserved In th soil for plant use. Prof. Campbell states, and ha demonstrated, that by this method "dry farming' can be carried "to tho foot Cf tha Rockies," while th semi arid farm land to th east can be made to produce double crop. All In all, if but portion ot tho remark able work which th Department ot Agrl- culture is carrying on bear 'th fruit which th nwn working upon It predict. th country will see. In th next decade or two. a development of th one-time urposed useless and fearful great Araerl can desert, which will bo a aouro f In creasing astonishment to th conservative agricultural student. Ouy E. Mitchell In Opportunity. Bald Heads and Disease, There are advantages accruing even from bald heads. It Is pointed out by a writer In a medical journal that bald-headed men never suffer from consumption and that a tendency to baldness is an assurance that the dreaded scourge will pass over hint whose thatch grows thin. At first glitnce It would seem absurd to argue that a man's hair Is Indicative of hi Immunity from disease, but the writer who advances this novel rlienry declares that In the five years during which he seriously added a record of his patients' hair or lack of It his case cards have failed to show a single Instance of "bald" being entered upon the card of a consumptive. He had under treatment more than 700 cases and he makes the further statement that in a census of more than 5,000 tuber' culosls cases he failed to discover a single sufferer who was bald. He make no effort to explain hi theory upon medical grounds, but simply offers the results of his observation for the bene fit of the profession and has Invited his brother physicians to write him of any ca of a bald-headed consumptive coming under their observation.

The ton of the crop damage advices yes terday was a little more positive than before. The chief comulalnt was that wheat was heading out short and was thin on the ground. Missouri lu'id of smut. Tho damage reports came from Tennessee, Ken tucky and Missouri and tne southwestern sections, which have previously made bad reports. 1 he news irom Ohio ana in dlans was good.

MuBt of the corn Is going to Montreal and over 600,000 bushels were sold and chartered for that port this week. The Seaboard sold KO.000 bushels for export. The total wheat stock at Minneapolis Is now 7.1SS.467 Dusheis, including 4,4d,st bushels of No. 1. This shows a decrease for the week of 275.849 bushels. The de mand for cash wheat at Minneapolis was slow at today's opening, No. 1 selling about lc over the May price; no. i sola eariy at lo over the July price, but later was the same a July.

There was a good demand for the cattle, and as the receipts were light, buyers picked them up at right around steady prices all week.
