separate the main parts of the vine,
the arms, so that each arm with lis
canes is laid out by itself. After this
has been accomplished, select four to
six arms which have strong thrifty
canes as near to base of the trunk
as possible and cut away the entire
upper distant portion of each Of
these four to six selected arms
at point exactly above the place
at which the canes of these arms are
located. This leaves the lower pro-
ton of each of these arms with
cane on the end where the cut was
made. The tips of each OF these
canes are now cut off so as 10 leave
each cane with s TO ten good buds.
The to 6 arms which have now
been completely pruned are tied TO
the trellis so that an equal number
of them are tied to both sides of the
vine. All the remaining arms are
removed entirely as close to tie holy
of the main crown OF base of the
vine as possible Very often small
canes foot or more in length are
found to grow from the base of the
| trunk. All of these are cut away
except the best one which is cut
back so as to leave only small spur
with one or two buds. The buds will
result in canes which may later be
used to renew The plants at which
| time the four to six arms which were
left when the vine was pruned are
entirely cut away at tn, Ease TO
make place for the youngcs and
better growth.

upon substitute hay crops when
alfalfa and clover fail. The best
emergency hay crops for Wisconsin,
are: soybeans; oats and field peas;
Sudan grass and soybeans; Sudan

divided into two streams, one on either side of the great cavity, leaving the latter dry for the workmen.
 Then they will start to fill in the great cavity that has been created by natures tremendous force. Their work will re- semble as much as anything else the fill ing of gigantic tooth. First, Lbeams of steel will be driven into the stone, after the bottom of the cavity has been leveled off. These I-beams will be connected by steel staples and the intervening space will be filled in with concrete. There will be row after row of this combination of steel and concrete until the top haS been reached, and the whole of the cavity filled.
 When this work has been finished, there will have been formed a filling of steel and concrete that will be practically indestructible, and should last to eternity.
 But before any of this work can be started, there is something else that will have to be done. Within recent years some of Niagara's surplus power has been used for commercial purposes. Be- low the Horseshoe Falls is power house which generates current for public utili- ties uot only in Niagara Falls, but in Buffalo and other places within a radius of fifty miles. The power house con- sumes the energy of 15,000 cubic feet of water IS it plunges over the brink. This may seem an enormous quantity. But
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-07-27

the total overflow of water at Niagara at mean stage is 220,000 cubic feet second, and at its lowest stage 176,000 cubic feet a second. So that the 15,000 cubic feet does not amount to so much. In fact, Congress has already given its consent for the use of the energy of 28,500 cubic feet of water as they pass over the brink, for commercial purposes.
 Some provision, however, will have to be made for a swift current of water in order that the power house and the pub lie utilities be kept in operation. To take care of that, a gigantic aqueduct will be built from point just above the pontoon fridge to a point at the bottom of the Falls and which will not only convey the water, but give 1t the same drop as 1t now has. This aqueduct will be con- structed of reinforced concrete, in sec tions six feet long and six feet high.
 After all the work has been completed, the pontoon break-water will be removed, and the quantity. of water from the Niagara river will be allowed to go over the Horseshoe Falls as Nature originally intended it should. Then the aQueduct will be removed and the power house supplied with its current as 1t now Is.
 Not only will the Horseshoe Falls be protected for all time by this remarkable operation, but its beauty will be increased. It will also have beneficial effect upon the American Falls, for 1t will compel the quantity of water that originally went over 1t to return to that course.
 Several years will be required for the completion of the work that will save Niagara Falls to posterity. The expense, whtch will amount to millions of dollars. will be divided between the United States and the Canadian governments

%Y IAGARA FALLS has a "broken heart" and only surgical opera tion'' can save the greatest water fall on the face of the earth from com plete destruction.
 Plans are now under way to perform this operation" They include one of the most remarkable engineering feats ever conceived-not the least amazing of which is the damming, of the turbulent torrent to permit carrying on the difficult under taking and thus save the Falls.
 The ''heart" of Niagara is the center of the celebrated Horseshoe Falls. Over this central point, the greatest volume of water naturally pours.
 For thousands of centuries the current of Niagara has been gnawing at the brink of the chasm over which the waters How. In the beginning of things, this brink was probably miles below the present loca- .tion of the Falls. The banks of the Mia gara river and the floor, as well as the wall which forms the Falls, is of lime stone and shale.
 During the past slxty-three years, the current of Niagara has gnawed away the brink over which 1t tumbles for a dis tance of 335 feet, or at the rate of more Map of Niagara, Showing How Dam ls to

possible in an undertaking of this kind.
 Barges filled with concrete and stone will he sent out into the stream until a pontoon bridge has been formed Then these barges will be sunk Working from this anchorage, the break-water will be fash tened. It will be built in such shape that the great volume of water that now passes over the Horseshoe Falls will be diverted in such manner that most of 1t will temporarily be forced over the American Falls. What will continue to pass over the Horseshoe Falls will be

than five feet each year. And the Falls, according to the sta tistieians, is 25.00O years oldi It dates back to the glacial period.
 For centuries and centuries the brink was apparently eaten away on a straight line, so that the Falls receded evenly from shore to shore. Then, slowly but surely a "heart" be- gan. to form in the center. It may have been started by dis

Recently the maLLer was brought up again by Representative Theodore Bur ton, of Ohio He called attention to the fact that unless something was done at once Niagara Falls, the chief attraction to visitors from abroad to America, would be thing of the past.
 The American Civic Association, the International Waterways Commission and the Canadian Minister of Public Works joined forces in an effort to save Niagara from eating itself away. As a result of their combined efforts, work will be started soon on what will be one of the most unique engineering feats in history-really an operation" to save the life of the Falls.
 The first thing that will have to be done is to make 1t possible to get at the seat of the trouble. Imagine working on the center of Niagara Falls, over which no more than half dozen persons-and these encased in steel-lined barrels-have ever passed!
 This first step will be the placing of break-water across the Niagara river, just

There could be but one outcome to all of this. The American Falls would even tually practically disappear, the waters be ing shunted off over the Horseshoe Falls Meantime, the accommodating volume of water plunging over the latter would eat more rapidly into the crevice already formed, until the brink, and, with 1t, the Falls, would disappear. That would be the end of Niagara.
 The possibilities of such disaster were appreciated by the late President Roose- welt, and as early as 1905 he undertook

Judgement of great boulder; or perhaps crevice was worn in the center of the Falls.
 As this cancerous cavity grew and grew, the current of the stream changed. Great quantities of water, which should have gone over the Americna Falls, as it did in the old days, was diverted from that course and added to the already congested chan nel leading over the Horseshoe Falls. This naturally added to the force of the cataract and the gnawing at the heart of the Falls was increased.

steps that would bring an end to the ravages of the current. But, although Pres ident Taft continued the ef- forts that his predecessor had started, they fell by the wayside. Nothing was done, and the gnawing away of the center of the Falls continued.

Walnut Trees Advocated
Produce County Revenue

LODI, Cal, April FL. H. Taylor,
local walnut enthusiast, has submit
ted to the San Joaquin County super
visors and the Automobile Association
novel plan for doing away with tax
es while identifying the public roads.
Taylor's scheme is to plant walnut
trees on both sides of the county's
highways, at intervals of 100 feet, and
to care for them as ordinary shade
trees.
At the end of ten years, Mr.. Taylor
explained, "the country would be one
of the most widely known in the U.
S. because Of the beauty of it's high
ways and the walnuts would pay a
large share of the county's taxes on
road up-keep."
The county has more than twenty
five miles of roads, practically all paw
ed. Planted to walnuts the trees would
occupy the equivalent of a grove Of
1868 acres and would bear at least
so pounds of nuts to each tree at the
end Of ten years, or 100000 pounds,
of nuts to each tree at the end Of
ten years, which would sell for at
least Is cents a pound net or $3.50
annually.

SUCCESSOR TO
COTWALS NAMED
ON COMMISSION
MAI. LUNSFORD E. OLIVER APP
POINTED ENGINEER OFF,
GER FOR A. r. C.

JUNEAU, Alaska, April 11-(By
Mais-The appointment of Maj. Luns-
ford E. Oliver, Corps of Engineers, as
Engineer Officer Of the Alaska Road
Commission, was made public here
yesterday by Capt. P. A. Agnew, Sec
retary of the Commission. He was adj
vised Of the appointment by Colonel
James G. Steese who was in Seattle
yesterday and is expected to leave to-
morrow morning on the steamer North
western.
Major Oliver is said to be high
class engineer, fine type Of officer
and to have a splendid record in the
Army service. He was in charge Of
construction Of a large bridge across
the Patomac River at Georgetown
near the National capital two or 8
years ago. Since that time he has been
mostly connected with the Mississippi
district Of the Board Of Rivers and
Harobrs. No word has been receiv-
ed to indicate whether he will report
at local Commission headquarters for
duty. He will replace Col. J. G. Got
walls who was recently recalled to
duty with the Corps of Engineers af
ter four years tour of duty with the
Commission.
His appointment apparently indi-
Gates the continuation of the hereto
fore established policy Of the War De-
partment to specially assign an en-
gineer officer to handle the Commits
sion's field work instead Of placing
that burden on the President of the
Board, it is believed. Coincident with
the retirement of Col. Gotwals it was
announced that Colonel Steese would
also be Engineer Officer of the Board
and his appointment to that position
was made nphlie. 1t was known, how
ever, that he desired to have another
officer sent here but was dubious at
that time Of getting such an assign
ment.

of the snow and recovered cliff of
the mountain. Brief but heartfelt
greetings were exchanged between the
flight commander and the lieutenant
in charge of the party. The latter re-
marked, "Sir, as long as you were
forced to come down, | am glad to
see you here and alright"
Major Martin replied, "And believe
me, sir; I'm glad to see YOU
AS soon as the Naval Officer saw
both occupants safe and sound and
the plane apparently unchanged, he
signaled the ship, and the glad news
was instantly broadcasted to Sew
ard, Kodiak, Chignik and Dutch Har
Dor
The anchor of the plane was quick
ly recovered by the destroyers boat
and the plane was towed out to the
Hull, where the hungry flyers were
eagerly received by Commander Hill
lard Major Martin with his mis-
sion first in mind, sent radio orders
to Lieut.. Smith at Chignik and Lieut.
Bissell at Dutch Harbor as to the
needs of the plane.
At first he requested the destroyer
to tow him TO Chignik, but the dis
lance being 80 miles and the speed
being limited by the frailness of his
pontoons, it was decided to tow him
into the sheltered harbor Of the lit
tie settlement of Kanatak, zen miles
north in Portage Bay. Here the
Standard Oil has a radio plant and
shops so that communication could
be had with the outside world and
work done on the engine.
The essential details of the finding
were broadcasted by the destroyer
and Major Martin and Sergeant Har-
vey were landed at Kanatak to where
the plane was towed. Prompt re
placement of the broken engine parts
is expected from Chignik or Dutch
Harbor and the plane should proceed
in a few days.
Destroyers Leave Tomorrow
The L. S. S. destroyers Hull and
CORY will remain in Seward today,
leaving tomorrow morning for Seat
tie. Their officers report that had
the sea been rough at the time of
the forced landing of Major Martin
and Sergt. Harvey that both men
would have been drowned.
