Panama Canal Cost

constructive wonder of the world has
been created on the isthmus.

00o. The work is year ahead OF
time
In prosecuting the work at Panama
the greatest annoyance was the
slides. Earth moved slowly down into
the cuts on beds of clay deep down
underneath. The extra excavation
due to this alOne-material that had
to be moved that wa snot counted in
j the original estimates-w would suffice
! to make a pyramid on a base from
Chambers TO Fulton streets and from
the City Hall TO West Broadway, with
an apex higher than the WoolwortE
building.
Concrete used in the locks anC
dams would bury the new Pennsyl
sylvania Terminal station under con
crete, tapping over all the way around
on all sides, and if inpyramid form
rising to five times the height oil
that structure.
Think OF canal fifty-five feet wide
and ten feet deep. Such a cut would
hold water enough for an inner water
way to float the pleasure yachts of the
country. The excavation done at Pan
ANA would cut such a canal across
the United States from Eastport
Maine, to the Pacific Ocean in South
I ern Oregon.
A Wall Across Country.
Tourists travel half around the
world to see the Chinese Wall, marvel
ing at it's immensely. The earth NOV
ed at Panama-the earth and rock
would build such a wall across the
United States, from New York to San
Francisc, airline.
The man who has spread a car
load of loan in his yard will under
stand dimly what it means to say
that it would require train Of fiat
cars 100000 miles long to carry the
excavated material at Panama. This
train would reach five times around
the globe.
The number of men on the payroll
rose to $4,000 in August, 1910. OF
these 10000 were Americans and the
others were Italian, Greek and Span
ish laborers and colored laborers from
Jamaica, the Barbadoses and other
West Indian points.
Perhaps the average size Of the
labor army at Panama has been 35,
600 men. 1t has been a constantly
changing force, of necessity, though
wages paid have been high. Wages
for skilled labor were twice, or near
ly twice, the wages paid in the United
States Boilermakers, for example
were paid IS cents an hour with time
and a half for over time, fifteen days
leave of absence and thirty days sick
leave.

WHAT CONSTITUTES
FARM DAYS WORK
Department of Agriculture
Complies Statistics to OBJ
tain Efficiency.

To obtain a higher degree of eff
cheney on the farms of the country
the Department Of Agriculture through
the office of farm management has
been compiling statistics TO determine
what constitutes a days work. Figures
have been collected under all Condi-
tions of soil. and where all kinds of
implements were used.
The results obtained represent the
amount of work the average man may
reasonably be expected to perform. BY
planning his work on this schedule
the office of farm management be
lieves the farmer may work more sys-
tematically, with the expectation that
it will be finished by a given time.
Counting 9.65 hours to the working
day man driving a two horse team
to a walking pillow, cutting an eight
inch furrOw six inches deep should
turn 1863 acres. The acreage increas-
es with the width of the plOw, reach
ing 211 acres when the furrow is six
teen inches. The figures for a three
horse team for the same width plOws
are $50 and PIT acres respectively
Two horses drawing an eight foot
spiketooth harrow, the Investigators
say, should cover 1913 acres of freshly
plowed land, while four horses to a
sixteen foot harrow should cover 28.3
acres
With a disc harrow six feet wide on
freshly plowed ground 159 farmers
averaged TO acres with two horses.
With six horses and an eight foot i'm
plement they averaged 15.4 acres
Figures were also prepared showing
the number of trips that could be ex-
pected for hauling produce stated dis
lance, including the loading, hauling
and unloading.
In hauling small grain from a bin
for distance of one mile, the average
was 4.51 trips day, with 1.16 trips for
a distance Of ten miles. The average
Of 6S3 men hauling loose hay for one
mile was 1854 trips, and 100 trips for
haul Of ten miles. Hauling corn
from a crib 767 WOrkmen averaged
five trips for one mile and III for
ten miles
