AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT
FAVORS CROP INSURANCE

Washington.-Gene crop insur-
nce is feasible, and is urgently need
ID for the protection Of American ag-
riculture. In view of the progress
made by insurance in other fields, it
is hard to believe that adequate crop
insurance facilities will long remain
undevelOped.
So say officials of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture who have been
studying the question. They are pre-
pairing data for the Senate committee
which was appointed at the last ses-
sion Of Congress to investigate and
report on the practicability of extend
ing the scope Of crop insurance. This
committee held series Of hearings at
Washington in April, and will recon-
vene in December
Billions of dollars are annually in
vested in farm crops. So great is the
risk in this investment, that the farm
ers who make it have been called
gamblers. But gambling, say depart
ment officials, is a term properly ap-
piled to the taking of Unnecessary
riSEs, Just for the sake of taking a
chance. They point out that the risks
of agriculture are unavoidable, and
should be as readily insurable as sim
liar risks in other lines.
1t is regarded as absurd that agri-
culture should continue without ade-
quate insurance facilities, in face of
the general application that has been
given to the insurance principle in
nearly all other kinds Of necessary en-
terprise. With proper statistical data
as a basis for rates, means of supply
ing the lack ought to be obtainable,
say the departments investigators.
Crop insurance, it is believed
should cover actual damage sustained,
put not theoretical losses resulting
from failure to reap expected profits

Envelope Must Remain
Sealed for SO Years

Greenville, Pa.-The Rev. G. A.
Sundberg, president Of Thiel college,
pulling open drawer in his desk dis
covered long white envelope on the
upper right-hand corner of which was
written Commencement, 1928"
Thinking it was some communica-
tion that had been overlooked, he was
about to open it when his attention
was drawn to the words: This en-
velope is entrusted to the president
and trustees Of Thiel college; must not
be opened before commencement, Nine
teen Hundred Seventy Three "a. D.
1879"
In the upper left-hand corner Of
the envelope was typed, "Compli-
ments of His Excellency, DR.. Fritz
Holm, IA John street, New York"
Doctor Holm, lecturer, explorer, sci
enlist and traveller, is gone from here.
The college authorities intend to abide
by his written instructions. What it is
no one knows. 1t might be bequest.
1t might be some historic document
secured by Doctor Holm on one of his
many expeditions. 1t might be fore
cast Of what Thiel will be In 1878.
Meanwhile, there is much speculation.
Doctor Holm was the commencement
orator.

Reports Chinese Opium
Traffic Again Active

London.-China is producing hun
dreds of tons Of opium, says Sir John
Jordan, British minister in Peking,
and it looks as though she were going
back to the old, bad state Of affairs
before the suppression Of opium by
agreement with India was brought
about.
India, the British minister adds
used to export about 100000 chests of
opium a year, mostly to China; now
her exports are only 5000 chests, al
most exclusively to the East Indies
She is prepared to reduce this If there
is a reduced consumption.
He says India is Loyalty and scrupu-
lously observing every provision of the
Hague convention. Turkey and Persia,
he adds, must be brought within the
Hague convention, or the attempt to
control the supply of raw opium must
inevitably fail. Similarly it Is essen
tial that Switzerland join the conven-
tion, since that country is one Of the
most important centers in the world
of the drug traffic.
eff" Sir John declared, "the Hague
convention is honestly and efficiently
enforced today, the opium problem
will be solved tomorrow"

BLACK AIkaIi

Investigations have been made of the
almost complete loss of fertility of
from 10000 to $4,000 acres In the San
Luis valley of Colorado, and this con-
dition is attributed to the socalled
"black alkali," composed largely of
sodium carbonate This carbonate is
carried in the waters of the valley, in
cluding the rivers and the artesian
wells, and the practice of subirrigatiOn
has brought it to the surface by
capillarity and evaporation. 1t is sug-
gested that the remedy lies in a con-
version of the carbonates into sui
pilates by the use of liberal amount
of gypsum-about nine pounds of gyp-
sum to one pound of black alkali-
anil downward washing by means of
surface irrigation with burrows or by
flooding.

swampy region Of lakes under the
dominion of the King OF Tacuba. The
newcomers, however, were quick TO
make use of the natural strength of
their position and within a short time
were able to overthrow the over1ord-
ship of Tacuba and extend their su-
premacy over a great part Of the sur
rounding region. The two most power
full states in the valley at this time
were Mexico and Taxcoco. and instead
of engaging in a war for supremacy
they united in forming a confedera-
tion, in which the old kingdom of
Tacuba also was admitted as an in

have been found in the ruins are shells
| from the Gulf of California, Maya re.
liefs from Yucatan and Central Amer
lea and different articles of the Zapo-
tecas and TOtonacus from Oaxaca.
Vera Cruz and other regions.
A death blow was dealt to the power
OF the Toltecs almost a thousand years
ago by the invading Nahuas from the
north, and the fertile Valley of Teoti-
huacan fell under the power of the
State of Texaco. Today the valley
| contains but 5000 inhabitants, most of
whom are Indian poems who lead
hand-to-mouth existence. Illiteracy is
the rule rather than the exception, and
there Is not doctor in the entire re-
gion, the people being addicted to

Maya Civilization.
In the meantime, however, far to
! the south a civilization had sprung up
among the Maya peoples, whose shat
tered works are considered the great
est archaeological ruins in Mexico.
Chichen-Itza, Uxmal, Palenque and
Militia, besides multitude of smaller
places, now are well known in archeo-
logical circles and have excited world
wide interest and attention.
Chichen-Itza is said to have been
founded in the year $50 A. D., although
1t did not reach the height of it's pros
perity until hundreds of years later.
During its golden age it was a pop
ulous city covering an area of ten
square miles, the seat of a lucrative
commerce and flourishing state In
1892, however, the army of King Ulmil
was defeated by the Nahuas, and the
city rapidly fell into decadence and
probably was totally deserted shortly
afterward
The ruins of Uxmal are also in Yu-
catan, close to the border of the State
of Campeche. Although of great size,
little is known Of the history of the
city, and while the ruins are on the
general order of Maya architecture
they are not of striking Importance.
Palenque, in Chiapas, probably con-
tains the most beautiful relics to be
found on the continent. Judging from
the large number of temples, the city
probably never attained political i'm
portance, but was considered the re-
ligious center of the region.
The ruins of Militia are in the State
of OaXaca and are believed to have
been erected by the Mayas or some
kindred race. Although first brought
to light at comparatively recent date,
indications seem to point to remains of
great importance
Nahuas WarIike People.
Probably the greatest of the native
races. however, was that which occu-
pied the Valley of Mexico on the ar
rival of Cortez. The Nahuas began
their invasions of Mexico about thou
sand years ago and in short time had
conquered the north and central por-
tions Of the country. The invaders
were a warlike people and had no
difficulty in subduing the degenerate
tribes then occupying the rich regions
of the country.
The AZtecs were one of the smallest
of the Nahua tribes and arrived in
Mexico from the north at a much later
date than the other branches of the
| invaders. AS all of the best lands then
were occupied they were forced to
dwell in the Valley of Mexico. then
