LACK Of FARM HANDS
CAUSE OF HIGH PRICES
Secretary Wilson Says Dearth
of LabOrers Renders Much
Good Land Idle.

WASHINGTON. June 26.-Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson, who has Just re-
turned from trip shrough the west
cru states, says that lack of farm
hands is the chief cause Of the high
price of foodstulfs.
"All through the west and north
west, the same situation exists said
Nh Wilson. ''The country is as
healthy and prosperous as ever it was,
but thousands Of acres Of valuable and
fertile land is lying idle because the
farmers cannot hire labor, although
wages paid farm hands in these states
are the equal of those paid to laborers
in our large cities.
THE immigrants who land on our
shores all flock to the larger cities,
and those of them who have done
farming in their own countries are in
competent and nearly useless to the
American farmer, because they do not
understand the modern machinery used
on the farms in this country.
"Prices of grains and vegetables,
therefore, are bound TO he high, and,
OF course, with these staples selling at
high prices. the value of meats is
thereby raised.

"He Has Accomplished a Great
Thing; He Is Bound to Become
q Great Man"

NEW YORK, September 22-Harry
Whitney, the young New Haven sports
man, upon whose testimony the north pole
controversy largely hinges, has been heard
from and in effect supports DR.. Cook
contention that he reached the north pole
According to the New York American
Mrs Whitney. his mother, received a let
ter dated September g. in which Whitney
says:
Il saw DR.. Cook at Etah. He has &C.
complished a great thing. He Is bound
to become a great man.
"He claims to have reached the north
pole. and from the evidence believe he
has"
The gist Of the foregoing, according to
the American, was given out by Mrs
William Blodgett Of Ffshkill, N. Y. a
sister of Mrs Whitney.
Whitney is the man to whom DR.. Cook
says he intrusted some of his instruments
and confided the secret that he had
reached the north pole. Whitney subse-

The parade made its way through the
city by a crooked route past four public
schools. all of which turned out all their
children to add to the welcome. It was
not yet - when the parade was started,
and permission to let out the children, 1t
was said. was not to be had. A conven-
lent practice fire drill just when the horns
were heard solved the problem for some
of the teachers.
All along the four miles Of the route II
was much the same; sidewalks packed
to the curb, cheers without end, dust and
gasoline smoke insufferable. right and
left a dance of color and frenZied move
ment. and at every ones heart the
poignant exaltation of a great mob on
fire with great idea.
The automobiles behind the leading car
raced pell nell after 1t through the dust,
blocking each other at every turn in the
route There was one stop at Arion Hall
to allow some more girls In white to pre-
sent flowers and greetings Then the pro-
cession went under the arch in front or
the old Cook home in Bushwick avenue
between two crowds that counted seventy
thousand souls. More than a mile farther
along the automobiles turned to return to
the Bushwick Club, scant two blocks
from the arch.
Here the Cook family was shouldered
through the crowd and safely into the
club for rest of an hour and half
The crowds hung close all the while
waiting for a chance to storm the club
house.
It came soon after O'Clock. when the
doors were thrown open and all corners
were filed through in line which had its
beginning vaguely In a quarter-acre Of
people in the street. DR.. Cook was spared
the labor of handshaking. saluting each
passer with a bow-the 'stiff little bow
for which the Danes liked him SO much.

He said the explorer had sextant, a

instruments. the exact purpose Of which
Capt Bartlett did not know. Asked If
Dr. Cook had any instruments for making
meteorological and tidal observations,
such as Peary used on board the Roose-
Welt in tie expedition of 1905-O6. when
Bartlett served as mate. the captain re-
piled that he could not say.
He saw some of Cooks instruments on

were a number of others which had not

Commander Peary supplemented this
briefly. He was asked when the public
was likely to get decision on this SUBJ
ject, and he replied:
Il do not know, but what I have to
say will not be very long delayed.
Whether my statement will be issued in
one week or two weeks depends on cir
cumstances."
Refuses to Talk Of Cooks Claim.
Regarding the story told by his cabin
boy. William Pritchard, he said he had
heard that Pritchard had been Informed
by DIR. Cook he was at the pole. He de.
clined. however. to discuss this matter.
Asked when he first heard that DR.
Cook had been at the pole, the explorer
started to reply by saying:
II knew before l reached Etah'-but
did not finish the answer he intended to
