Everywhere he sees innumerable

their only food is squid, sort Of cut

JANUARY 1OVV'
Almost exactly in the middle OF tne
Pacific, midway between our RACINE
coast and Japan, there Is smsA
asland, a coral atoll with a surface OF
about three and half square miles,
which supports perhaps the most
dense bird population in the world
population which has been estimated
at about 100000.
It was the good fortune OF the
writer to visit this great metropolis
pf oceanic birds during the HaWallap
cruise of the U. S. S. Albatross In
1902, and never has he witnessed a
more impressive scene. Nor does II
REQUIRE the standpoint of the natural
ist tn arouse enthusiasm in view OF
this assemblage of avian life without
peing profoundly moved by the expo
Tience.
After trudging through the white
coral sand for about half mile from
the landing, surrounded at every step
by many birds of unfamiliar KINDS
actually being compelled to shoVe
them aside with his foot, the visitor
comes to a slight eminence, and actL-
ally gasps with establishment as the
famous albatross rookeTy OF Laysan
hes spread out before him! Here, on
a level plain from which every YES
dge of vegetation has been worn
away, is a mass of these great birds
nearly square mile in extent. He
may have seen birds before by the
thousand, perhaps by tens of thou
sands; but surely not literally by the
million!
Most of them are strangely quiet,
except as they greet the intruder with
a quickly repeated swapping of the
bill. Soon he becomes conscious of
another sound, a long-drawn "a a-a-h,'
with a rising infection, as if in deri-
sion at his appearance; and he sees
that here and there small groups Of
three or four albatrosses are engag-

tent man to collect the necessary
material for the exhibit: to study
and photograph and sketch and plan
the whole scene while on the ground
and in view of the actual scene to
be represented He must get the
correct \ local conditions firmly in
mind. He must see and carefully
study Laysan as it is.
Fortunately such a man is at hand
in the person of Mr.. Homer r. Dill,
university taxidermist, who is also
a trained artist, thoroughly enthused
over the possibilities of the scheme,
and able to reconstruct it faithfully,
so far as the birds and the natural
accessories are concerned. Those
who have seen the admirable proof
of his ability as taxidermist, or ar
I fist in assembling the accessories for
such a scene.
| End. A scenic artist of proved and
| first class ability should accompany
! Mr.. Dill to make color sketches of
the birds and their surroundings,
study the local atmosphere" and do
the preliminary work for the back
ground of the Laysan cyclorama.
This is vital to the success of the
scheme, and this work must be done
by master of the technique of out
door panoramic work. Any inferior
work in this would make the whole
thing cheap and theatrical, instead
of a dignified work of art that will
satisfy cultured artistic taste.
Here again we are most fortunate;
for MIR. William Andrew Mackay, a
scenic artist of pational repute, has
become enthused over the artistic
possibilities of the scheme, and the
advantages of study in such a place
and has consented to accompany his
friend Mr. Dill and do this vitality
important preliminary work without
charge for his services except his
actual expenses. Mr. Mackay is well
known for his admirable mural paint

WILSON SAYS LABOR SHORTAGE
Declares Price Of Wheat Must Be High
for Some Time.

Declares Price Of Wheat Must Be High
for Some Time.
Washington, June 1.-"As the result
of the artificial prices made for wheat
by the transactions of certain individ-
uals in Chicago, there will be an in
creased acreage of the CROP" said Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wilson.
Directly the farmer will feel the
effect of the prices in the cost of his
bread. Only comparatively few far
mers can hold their grain. They must,
as a result, dispose of it soon after
harvesting. OF course it is problemati-
cal, based on climatic and other condi-
lions, what the outcome of the in
creased acreage will be.
"Our increase in production is nee
keeping pace with our increase in popu-
lation. AS consumption approaches,
production prices naturally advance.
Machinery plays an important part
upon our modern farms, and of all
agricultural machinery, that used in the
wheatfields is the most complicated and
delicate. Skilled labor is required to
handle it, and this fact is an important
feature of the situation. 1t is impossi-
pie W ellploS eNeISoiie Wiling " ldDol,
because the machinery will be wrecked
by inexperienced workmen. With the
labor supply limited, it can readily be
seen why the price of wheat keeps up.
The same general factors onerate in a
measure with respect to corn, but that
crop is not dependent upon skilled la
her to the same degree as wheat.
THE price of all farm products ara
high. and must remain high, without re-
gard to artificial Corners There is
a deficiency Of farm labor. This COM
plant is not confined to any quarter.
Altho the farmers are paying their help
twice as much as few years ago, the
supply is not sufficient. The attrac-
lions of the cities are taking farm
labor to other lines of industry. The
hours are shorter, there are more av-
enues of recreation. Consequently the
farmer is forced to plant not to his to-
tai acreage. but must restrict his work
to what he knows he can harvest. 1t
is not a question with him as to how
produce, but in many instances how
many acres can he himself plant and
harvest.
Il do not apprehend that we are APP
preaching a day, in the remote future,
when famine will end the world. Con-
ditions must right themselves, sooner
or later, but for some time to come
prices will keep high because the sup
ply does not surpass the demand"
