GENERAL NEWS ITEMS

Copenhagen, Dec. 2l.-The report Of
the committee of the University Of CO.
penhagen completely skaters the
claims Of DR.. Cook that he reached the
pole, while officials and the people Of
Denmark are filed with chagrin at
the figure Denmark was made to as
sume In the eyes Of the scientific world.
The public was prepared for the ver-
dict mot proven," but did not expect
their recent hero would he branded as
an impostor. Many still believe that
Cook acted In good faith but harbored
a delusiOn. Explorers aud scientists
have almost unanimously lost faith In
Cooks honesty. while at one time his
warnest supporters. Knud Rasmussen,
helped to frame the report. The
papers attack Cook aud severely re-
proach him for hiding. The rector Of
the university declared in reply to q
question that he thought the univer-
sity would deprive Cook Of his degree,
which WAS recently bestowed upon
him and the government would deprive
his person Of the order obtained under
false pretense. Commodore Holm, the
explorer and member OF the committee,
said that "Cook claims to have made
observation at 9S degrees, SO minutes,
46 seconds, or near the pole, and proved
Immediately that he was bad observer
but nothing indicated that he WAS a
swindler. Now his papers convict him
of being q swindler. All are agreed
unanimously that his observations are
worthless. Rasmussen said tonight,
when saw his observations was
convinced it was scandal. My con-
fidence in Cook was based on my per-
sonal impressions on his reports and
the testimony Of the Eskimos. The
papers Cook sent to the university are
most impudent and 1t Is most childish
attempt at cheating. Cook killed him.

WE talk of prosperous ventures
being gold Mines" but a gold
mine in the United States is small
matter compared with our other
sources of wealth. The total pro-
duction of gold in this country las,
year was slightly less than ninety
five million dollars. That is a
small record among minerals. for
products of clay are worth annually
more than half as much again; coal
is worth FIVE times as much; copper
twice as much; iron FIVE times as
much; petroleum almost as much.
By measure of value we sold almost
as much wheat to other countries,
after using all we wanted ourselves.
and only a little less corn than the
value of all our gold. Our total
wheat crop is five times and more
the value of the gold crop. and corn
is fourteen times as valuable. The
creameries and cheese factories pro-
duce almost double the value of the
gold output. Oats means more
than gold by nearly four times. and
potatoes are worth twice as much.
1t would take eight years to pro-
duce as much value from the gold
mines as we get from our hay fields
Our farms are. after all. our richest
gold mines.

Friday. December. "a, 1909.

JAMES ]. HILL. the railroad mag
nate. warns the country that we
shall before long have to import
wheat if we do not increase the
produc;iveuess of our farms. To
those who look deeply into the
matter there is seen to be only too
much cause for Mr.. Hills warnings,
for the fact is that the United States
is steadily declining in its produc-
tion of wheat in proportion to its
own population and is very rapidly
declining in proportion to the pro-
duct of other countries. The Unit
ed States had the unenviable promi-
nence of being the only great whea,
country, excepting Argentina.
where conditions are entirely diff
ferent, the population of which is
increasing more rapidly than the
production OF wheat. In the rs
years from 1881 to 1906 the thirteen
wheat growing countries of Europe
increased in population over 26 per
cent and in the production of wheat
over 2S per cent. AS for Canada
and Australia their population has
increased 81 per cent and their
wheat yield 100 per cent. In the
same time the United States and
Argentina grew in population 6S
per cent and in wheat production
only 60 per cent. In argentina the
growth has been more largely
through immigration than in the
United States and the difference
between it and the growth in wheat
is less significant. But in this
country it seems obvious that if the
population continues to increase
faster than the growth OF wheat it
is only question Of time when the
wheat crop will be insufficient to
feed the people. The most itnpor.
tant point made by Mr.. Hill in re-
cent interviews is that our decline
as wheat growing country is due
to our failure to get as great a yield
from the acre as our rivals get.
Russia alone ranks below US with
less than ten bushels but in that
country agriculture is still in
primative state. Our own yield is
less than IA bushels. Australia's
is nearly l8, Frances 20. Canada's
slightly more than 20, Germany's
2S and Great Britain's go. Mr.
Hill contends that we ought to i'm
prove our methods of farming so as
to increase materially our average
yield. The vastness of our Wes
tern wheat fields has blinded us to
the need of maintaining and in
creasing their fertility. 1t is
great thing to measure our wheat
fields by the mile not by the acre
but we should also consider that it
is the size of the crop rather than
the size of the field that counts.
