LARGEST WHEAT CROP
SHOULD BE IN 1915
Says ST. Louis Republic. The Farm
erS' Opportunity is Near at Hand

IITbe American wheat crop OF
1915 should be the greatest in the
history Of the nation. The weather
conditions are beyond the wheat
grower, but the acreage that can
be sown in wheat is under his con.
troll. Every acre that Is available
should be seeded within the next
few weeks.
Kansas, a great wheatgrowiur
state, sec. the opportunity. The
greatest wheat acreage in the history
OF that State O, now being made
reading, according TO the State Fair
Association, who believes 10000,
600 Kansas acres will be sowu iu
wheat this fall. lie points ont that
years must elapse before the Europ.
can grain areas can be restored TO
their full usefulness.
There will be a European market
Tor American wheat in 1915 and
1916. Whether the war ends Iu
SIX months or lasts six years, con.
ditions have been created favorable
to high wheat prices. Armies
must hD fed. and we are even now
heating stories Of want and threat.
eued famine in European cities far
removed from the battle lines.
When the armies are disbanded the
soldiers will go bask to wasted coun-
tries. Agriculture will be shatter.
ed, the store houses empty Of food
and grain, and grain products must
be brought in from somewhere.
For years after our own Civil War
wheat prices renamed very high
They rose rather than tell immedi
atcly after the war. There is every
reason to believe that this bit Of
market history will repeat itself.
Wheat Is "as good as gold" right
now and is more sought for by the
warning nations, and we have As yet
hardly begun to feel their demands
Whether 1t be war or peace six
months from now the demands will
still be enormous.
This is the American farmers op
portunity. BY putting out every
availagle acre in wheat this fall he
will have done all he can do to
take advantage Of 1t

entirely aolian, mere dune drift OF
sand swept by the wind from the
beaches; at any rate digging to such
depth as was possible. In the loose
and readily sliding material failed to
disclose anything but sand.
Water is nowhere visible, in fact
there can be said to be no supply OF
fresh water at all. Pits along thp
beach will yield water at depth or
about four feet and this Is potable.
AS is so commonly the case In the
Line islands nearer the equator, this
water is sea water, filtered and sweet.
ened by percolation through the coral
sand. One such pit will be found serv-
iceable in general for about month,
a brief life for well, but matter OF
no great moment, since another pit
may be dug to a fresh supply within
few feet.
Plenty of Birds and Fish.
If the land is Of little worth, the
sea and the air bear an inordinate
share OF the burden of food for man.
Small as the islets are, the number of
birds passes all reckoning; one may
mention a million merely as cur-
venient unit Of measure.
The albatross grudges mankind the
room to walk about in, the BOBBY is
as absurd and foolish and altogether
well named on Midway as wherever
found, the Sandwich tern is under foot
and an excellent table bird, the bos'n-
bird and the frigate are found at GER
plover and the curlew are in sufficient
quantity to find their way to the bill
of fare. In the lagoon Is abundance
of fish, cod, sea perch, the always
toothsome mullet, mackerel and the
gaudy coryphenas, so brilliant in their
varied coloring that to put them into
the pan seems almost to desecrate
the rainbow by cooking it. The tre-
pang, or beche-de-mer, may be had
with no more exertion than that OF
picking its dark ugliness from the
clear bottoms of the tide pools, and
those who have had oriental table ev-
perience recognize thar It may be-
made into the most savory OF soups.
A delicious cookie is somewhat sparse
ly found and many univalye mollusks
afford a plentiful supply Of palatable
foods.
In the crevices OF the sea reefs
which skirt the lagoon lie hidden
many large crustaceans. These are
rarely seen, for their habit is secre-
tive; but pot baited overnight with
somewhat high fragments Of fish is
usually found well filled in the morn
ing and the size of the crustaceans
runs rather higher than our best lob
sters. They lack the strong claws OF
the lobster; they are more of the
squilla type, but the meat Is very fine
eating and abundantly wholesome.

covered with grass and low bushes.
Lower Brooks, Sand island, about a
quarter of a mile west, rises to the
comparatively imposing height of
fifty-five feet; but what it makes up
in altitude it loses IN vegetation, its
covering of grass being much thinner.
1t is a mile and half long, three
quarters of mile wide.
Garing Coral Sand.
The corals, on which the islets are
based, of whose disintegration they
are in fact composed, are principally
meandrinas and madrepores, as
shown by the specimens still growing
In the lagoon as we'll as by the frag.
ments in the dry soil which have not
yet been reduced by the weather.
The sand, which is the product of the
teaching of the dead coral by the rain.
is a clear white, very glazing in the
bright sun and remarkably trying to
the eyes.
In the center and eastern part OF
the Sand island the disintegrating
coral has been compacted by the rains
into stiff lime crust about third OF
an inch thick and forming glistening
surface which requires considerable
force to break. On the immediate
shores of the island the sand is about
eighteen inches deep before the frag-
ments of coral begin to appear of any
size; the higher levels are apparently

Y IFE, at cable relay station on
the westward course of empire
b a is loneliness sublime. There one
watches day and night the swing
back and forth of the siphon re-
corder of the Morse code, which brings
to the cable hut the news of the world,
its policies, its pulse of commerce,
and every dot which comes in from
the Orient must be relayed for it's
next leap to the waiting Occident, and
every western dash must be sped on
ward as an eastern dash that the
world may go ahead. That is Midway,
a station on the Commercial Pacific
cable. Few have ever heard of this
remote outpost.
Out at Midway is a vedette of civil
lization, two dozen men and women.
The sun glare is over them; they all
go goggled lest their eyes be burned
In their sockets. Even variety has
gone from their lives in the lonely
exile; there is neither variableness
nor shadow Of turning. Also the wind
is not fitful; all day long for months
on end it blows from just the same
corner of the horizon and the sand
which whirled in yesterdays blast
will dance the same endless whirl to-
day and again tomorrow. The rains
will come on their appointed days;
just so many gallons will pelt down
as this day year ago and the clouds

Life is monotony; monotony stereo

break. Once every ninety days the
supply schooner comes from Honolulu
with mail from home, papers and
fresh food; once in SO often a new op-
orator comes to take his trick at send
ing; once in so often comes the
chance for WEAKNESS to get back to
land where things happen and rules
have exceptions.
Here In picture and in text is Mid
way, outpost Of empire, relay station
Of news, wind-blasted sunburnt home
OF three and twenty pioneers. But
there is no lack of those who would
pioneer in the midst of the sea. At
the executive offices Of the cable COM
pany they will tell you that they have
more applications for Midway billet
than they can fill. There is five
year contract into which the operators
on this distant post enter, but II the
solitude proves too much for anyone
On the island there are SO many on
the waiting list that relief is always
granted.
Part of Great Bird Preserve.
Way back in 1867 the tiny group,
then known as Brooks islands from
their supposed discoverer, was an
nexed by the U. S. s. Lackawanna be-
cause the Pacific Mail company
thought it wanted 1t for a coaling sta
ton. The islands lie some fifteen
hundred miles northwest Of Honolulu
and between them and the Hawaiian
group is string of uninhabited islets
that, together with Midway, have been
set aside as national seabird pre-

keep off the poachers.
OF the Midway group, Brooks island
Is a roughly pear shaped lagoon atoll
entirely surrounded by barrier reef
of coral, with two passages sufficient
ly wide to permit vessels of consider
able draft to enter the lagoon. The
atoll is about two and a half miles
long and varies in width from half a
mile to two and half miles, the
greatest breadth being toward the
southwest. The passages through the
reef lie on the west and northwest
sides The lagoon is fully a mile and
half wide at its widest and complete
ly surrounds what little land there is;
it is thickIy sown with patches OF
coral, which in many large masses
reaches close to the surface, but boat
channels may be found by careful
steering and there is no danger, since
the water is always still.
The land is found at the east side
of the lagoon, two islands each little
more than a mile long. Middle Brooks,

about fifteen feet, coral sand thinfy
