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

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.

CHICAOO. May 27. Profit -taking, due
partially to a heavy movement of wheat
to northwestern grain centers, caused a
weak wheat market today. At the close
the July delivery was off mflSc In
fluenced by extraordinarily heavy receipts,
the price of May corn continued Its down
ward plunge the closing figure today of
49c being the lowest point of the day, a
loss of 8c compared with yesterday's html
quotations. July corn is off (&7c. Oat
and provisions are almost unchanged.
The wheat market was weak from the
start. Initial quotations on July being ore
Mi'aSc at BmflSlV. The principal cause of
the weakness was the unusually heavy re-
cetffls at Minneapolis and crop news. An
estimate on the report of Kansas made by
officials of a certain railroad was generally
conceded to be quite bearish and this had
much Influence on th market. For July
the lowest point of th day was reached
at 9oic. The market closed practically at
the lowest point. Final quotations on July
were at St'HflSOe. Clearances of wheat
and flour were equal to 1(18.900 bu. Pri
mary recetpte were 42,00O bu., compared
with 90,61 0 a year ago. Minneapolis, Duluth
and Chlcasro reported receipts of 329 cars.

The feature of trading In th cvrn pit
Was another decline of In the prNe of
May delivery. The lowest point of the day
was reached at 49c, the final quotation.
The sensational decline was attributed al
most wholly to the enormous receipts, ar

The cow and heifer market has suffered

the general market is fully 15cg25o lower for

Bulls, veal calves and stags show about
the same decline as other cattle and are

There wis an unusually light offering
of stockers and feeders this week, and It Is
on this account that the market has held
its own. 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. Borne heavy cattle
may look a little lower, but the general
market ruled steady.
