Texas Is Different Now.
Cimarron Bill Couldn't Get Lost in
What Was Desert.

Edtpard N. Dcalev in the Dallas News.
Who cannot remember the time when
as a child he sat behind bale OF hay
in fathers barn and ciandestinely read
with wildly beating heart and bulging
eyes the thriller about how Cimarron
Bill, the bad man of the COW camps,
became lost on the Staked Plains of
Texas--how he stumbled forward under
C.s heat OF the blistering sun. falling
now a~o then to the surface of the tree
less plain to dig frantically with his
bleeding fingers for water: how his
tongue, parched and swollen, hung from
his cracked lips because there was no
longer any room inside his mouth to
contain 1t {; how he espied now and then
on the horizon, in the very midst of the
idly shifting strata of heat waves. q
beautiful lake surrounded by green trees
and grass; of how he cried aloud with
fierce joy at the sight and feebly
plunged forward once more to dip his
lips into the cooling fluid. only to have
the blue water, as he approached nearer,
vanish as suddenly as it had appeared /;
of how, at length, he fell fainting by

thing like that? Who doesn't remember
It? Everybody does. of course.
Well. gentle reader, those old days
have passed forever. To-day Cimarron
Bill couldn't walk very far without
humping his head into windmill. The
great Llano Estacado has petered out
as a logical place to transport a man
in fiction IL you want TO get him into
an awful mess from which only Provi-
dence or a facile pen can extract him.
Where once barren wastes extended
for miles upon miles, to-day waving
blankets of echeloned wheat fields greet
the eye of the wanderer. And where
once the snaillike prairie schooner
wended it's weary way TO the Golden
West to-day motor cars scurry about
with snort and a roar and take pros
porous looking business men wherever
they want to go before they quite realize
that they have started.

Lightning Rods.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Light
ming rods are frequently attached to
wooden roofs on country houses by sta
pies driven into the wood and without
the slightest attempt at insulation. Such
installation is probably more of a. det-
riment than a protection.
Are there any statistics on the ef-
fectiveness of lightning rods when prop

the farad. SC.
At tho international congress OF radi-
ology, which was held in Brussels in

dent. 1t was agreed to call the unit OF
ioactivity-namcly. the amount OF
radium emanation which is In equilib-
rum with one gram OF radlum--by tho
very approprite name the "curie." As
in studying radium one works with ex-
ceedingly small quantities, it is the term
"millicurle" that Is in most frequent use.
Thus as long as science lasts will the

Shadeless Parks.
Ii Money Was Available More Trees
Would Be Planted.

To The New YORK HERALD; 1t was
a pleasure to see your editorial article
on "Shadeless Parks" for 1 have always
thought that shade is the thing We nave
right to expect in a city park. IL II
is not shady il is hotter than the street
and one crosses II or sits In II reluc-
tantly The trees too should usually De
planted in rows, making shaded alleys
You will be glad TO know that the
present landscape architect or the Fark
Department, Mr.. Bergevin, Is in SYM
pathy with your ideas and has often
expressed to me his willingness to plant
trees in this way in many bare spaces
IL the funds were available. Shade can
be bought. and usually the price Is not
too high 500 will buy and plant a
thirty foot Norway maple in any New
York park.
I looked at Bryant Park last Friday
afternoon and found only one tree OF
value too large to be safely moved.
The others could be moved or left as
they are until new ones grow UP. no
matter what plan may later on De
adopted for the rebuilding Of the park
Bryant Park is, / understand, soon to
be torn UP again by the building OF a
new subway, which will probably take
half the park out OF use for three or
four years. When it is restored to use
it should be on new plan; g. new park
with shade and one which will do JUS
tice to the back of the library, the finest
FACADE in New York.
The condition of our small parks Is
bad and should be improved, for they
are or might be part of the attraction
Of New York for visitors. Certainly no
park is seen by more people than Bryant
Park. CHARLES DOWNING LAY.

Wheat Panning Out Again.

The American farmer like other
producers is discovering that more
normal prices do not spell perdition
when his costs are more normal. In
the last crop year he objected vigor-
ously to selling his wheat. for exam
pie, at what it would fetch in fall
ing market when it had cost him so
much to raise it. And pretty nearly
all other producers were in the same
boat, expressing the same dread of
imminent shipwreck.
There were farmers in numbers
who said, and probably with truth,
that the buyers were not giving them
the chance to take out of their wheat
of last year nearly as much as they
had put into it. They also declared
with some strong language that IL
they could only get the necessary
bank loans or farm credits or Gov
ernment help of some kind they
would hang OF to their crops until
they got the prices that would show
them a clean profit on their high
production costs, whether it meant
waiting year or five years.
But if they could have commanded
the total credits of the country that
were available for all other purposes
the farmers might have stuck to
that wheat crop of 1920 till the crack
of doom and there would have been
no market for it at war imitation
prices unless they had stopped rails
ing new wheat. And the American
farmers do not do that; they do not
deliberately starve out the American
public. Their business is raising
wheat, and they raise wheat.
If the American farmers had not
let go of their 1920 wheat, as they
finally did let go of it, they would
not now be selling their 1921 crops
freely, as the harvests of the early
wheat belt are now selling. They
would not be making on their low
prices for 1921 wheat the profits they
are now making-profits they la
mented they could not ma'-9 on the
high cost of wheat even III lie higher
selling markets.
Wheat from the early harvests Of
this year, as matter of fact, is ar
irving regularly at the primary
points at about the rate Of 100000
bushels week. In few days as more
crops are harvested it will be many
more millions Of bushels week. The
farmers who are glad to sell 1t at the
present low prices are not going to
the poorhouse; they are paying of
their bank loans and doing their an
nual shopping, which they could not
do last year for want of cash.
In the granger territory, from which
the winter wheat already is on the
way to the consumer, there is, in fact,
a general cheerfulness. Plenty OF labor
and no longer at war munition fac
tory wages, a broad market and a
fairly steady market, an abundance
Of supplies that are needed for the
farm and at prices that are not mur-
derous; cheaper clothes, cheaper
gasolene, cheaper bank interest-all
this met out of the proceeds of his
lower price but lower cost wheat
again makes the farmers life worth
living. When everything else gets
similarly readjusted it will make
everybody's life worth living.
