country No wheat is so planted in the
United States. Labor is too costly
From correspondence which has passed
between Farmer Adams and the depart
ment of agriculture the officials are not
inclined to believe that the grower OF
Alaska wheat has wilfully undertaken
to defraud American farmers. They
rather incline to the view that he ac-
cidentally got hold of some of this large
grain, believed il to possess remarkable
qualifications and entered upon its sys-
tematic production, confident that he had
made a new discovery. That he may nave
fallen into the hands of less careful
agents is thought to be probable But
this is one of the things the department
wants to know more about. and that Is
one of the reasons Mr.. Jardine is going
to Juiaetta- If it develops that Farmer
Adams is aware that ne has been ex-
plotting an inferior grain. making raise
claims for it, the department VIII make a
systematic effort to break up his bust
ness, but if he has acted in good falth
he will not be disturbed.
Not Phenomenal Grain.
However, as the friend and protector of
the American farmer. the department OF
agriculture reserves to itself the right to
give to the agricultural interests the bene-
fit of all its information, and 1t knows
positively and beyond all question that
Alaska wheat is not the phenomenal
grain which il is advertised to be; hence
the advice to prospective purchasers
The power of the government to protect
c'suckers'' is apparently limited Some
wears ago some twenty firms Sprang up
over the country, advertising mushroom
spawn for sale. Many of them were
selling compressed manure, absolutely de-
void of spawn. All such firms were put
out of business by the postal authorities,
at the request of the secretary of agri-
culture. But another firm sprang up in
St Louis and advertised the best muSh-
room spawn in the world' at 81 pound
the current market price was o cents. All
manner of claims were made for this par
ticular spawn: claims that were never full
filled The scheme was a fraud its
face, for the firm was obtaining money
under false pretenSeS. The agricultural
deDartment reported the facts to the post
office department, and after investigation
the latter reported they could not touch
the mushroom artists for they were ac
tually selling spawn and the authorities
could not prosecute them for merely ex
aggerating their claims. Buyers We're sup
posed TO know that when the market price
of spawn was only cents, it would be
utterly out of the bounds of reasonability
TO produce any spawn worth 80 times as
much.
So it was with the mummy wheat"
that fooled many farmers twenty years
ago. The promoter of mummy wheat"
was actually delivering the grain at his
advertised price. and If it did not come up
to specifications, that was the loss of
the purchaser The mummy wheat"
craze did not last long; the department
does not expect the Alaska wheat" to
survive. There will be purchasers, of
course. even at $50 a bushel. but it is
the honest conviction of the departments
grain experts that all such buyers will
get say 81 worth OF wheat and $40 worth
of experience.

WARNS AGAINST

UNWARY FARMERS VICTIMS OF
DISTRIBUTORS.
Especial to The HeraldN

Washington, Aug. 30.-The depart
ment of agriculture advises American
farmers not to buy alaska wheat at
$50 bushel, or at any other price. And
the department speaks after having
made an investigation OF the reputed
remarkable grain said to have been
discovered in Alaska and developed,
AFTER years of culture, at Juliaetta, Ida
Alaska wheat has been cleverly
advertised from one end of the United
states to the other, through the me-
alum, first, of country newspapers;
then through weeklies. and IatterIv
through the daily press and a credita-
BILE magazine. But never has the ad-
vertisisg been done in the advertising
columns. So thoroughly has the coun-
try been covered with stories telling of
the wonderful productivity Of this
wheat that the department, for more
than six months, has been answering
inquiries from farmers who contem-
plated investing in the Juliaetta Won
der. All such inquiries have been an
swered, and in every instance the de-
partment has advised against invest
ment, not alone because the price is
6exorbitant, but because the wheat does
pot come up to the standard claimed
by its distributor.
Not New Discovery.
In the first place, Alaska wheat" is
not new discovery, as claimed by
Farmer Adams, who is offering il for
sale, though ii never before was
known under this name. Twenty years
ago this country and France was de-
luged with this same identical grain
called, at that time Egyptian wheat
or mummy wheat" Then. as now,
the explOiter of the grain had come
upon his first seed in a rather remark
able way. He had been journeying
through Egypt. One day he was over
taken by storm and sought refuge in
a cave. He discovered that the cave
was an abandoned tomb. relic of the
days of Pharaoh. Looking about him
he discovered a single stalk of wheat
growing out of the decayed remains of
a mummy. The grain was of phenom-
email size. So the explorer plucked it,
guarded it carefully, planted it when
he got home, and from that single
head. in the course of years had raised
q great quantity, which he, like Far
mer Adams, was philanthropically Of

The old village of Gatun stands on the bank

poverty no raggedness and filth, such as one sees
in the seaport towns of England, and well-nformed
persons tell me there is none in this part or
Germany. The aged and naturally helpless are
taken care of at public expense I no longer won
der that so few emgrants from Germany come
to us in recent years" In the Westminster Re
view for July, r. Ocke calls attention to the same
contrast between towns in England and towns
in Germany The latter have better paving and
cleanliness in their streets, better dweng-houses
and more ornamental parks and lawns, com
plete absence of sums and especially notably finer
public buildings of every kind, post offices, railway
stations, museums, schools and all public build
ings. In reply to the question how towns in Ger
many are able to provide so much finer accommo-
dations for the service of the public than towns
of corresponding size in England and to care for
the aged and helpless, Mr.. Ockel finds the answer
in the increased public revenue derived from the
taxation of land values Towns and cities con-
tanning one-fourth the population of Germany have
adopted the taxation of land values, approximat-
ing the single tax advocated by Henry George,
and without crippling trade industry and enter
prise but, on the contrary, stimulating them,"
public improvements. Many towns have also
adopted "tax of 33 per cent on the unearned
increment" in land values This principle of the
taxation of land values has been in operation in
Germany but nine years. but these years have
been a period of amazing growth in industrial
prosperity, and there hardly any unem-
nloyed the country.

present rate of excavation, the Isthmian Canal
Commission could build the Suez Canal in 3.8
years."
OF course the feature of the work which is at
the present time attracting the most attention is
the great earth dam at Gatun and the length OF
time required to finish this will determine the time
required to finish the canal rather than the time
required to finish the great Culebra Cut as was
expected when other plans were under considera-
tion.
A sea-level canal has always appealed to the
popular mind and the choice of majority
of the Commission sent down by the President to
investigate the conditions and decide the matter.
strong minority, among whom was Mr.. Isham
Randolph Chief Engineer of the Chicago Drainage
Board, favored the eighty foot level, and as the
work developed their recommendation finally pre-
vailed. Now it seems that the final plans are
settled upon and only the actual carrying out OF
these remains
The original plans of both the French AMI
American engineers placed the dam on the Atlantic
side at Bohio place several miles farther inland
than Gatun but investigation proved that the
proper foundation could not be reached there.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-05-31

The credit for the present type and position OF
the dam at Gatun is due to Mr.. G. ID. Ward, Mem
ber of the American Society of Civil Engineers
who introduced it in paper read before this So
ciety in May, 1904.
While, perhaps, this dam presents no unusual
nor specially difficult engineering features, its
dimensions and the great mass of water to be held
in check by it dwarfs anything of the kind ever
before undertaken that 1t will be most remark
able piece of engineering construction.
Imagine pile of earth and rock seven thousand
feet long, two thousand feet, or the length OF six
ordinary city blocks, thick at the base and tower
ing to the height of one hundred thirty feet, and
you will have some idea of the appearance or the
finished Gatun dam. And when completed, the
waters of the Chagres will form a lake above 1t
of about one hundred eighty square miles, burying
beneath it's waters number of villages and many
valuable plantations, within few years we
may see ocean steamers maiestically floating
above what is a tropical jungle or banana
plantation.
brief description of the method of construc-
ton of this great dam may be of interest. At the
present time the position of the dam is marked by
two parallel windrows of rock nearly two thousand
feet apart which are sort of retaining walls. The
space between these is to be filled later, not by
E. umring EARTH as might be expected, but by
The water will of course drain off and as the
layers of mud and silt settle down and dry
they will form something like sedimentary rock
The result will doubt be dam which would
be very little affected by earthquake shocks and
which will withstand many times the pressure
ever required of 1t.
